Meh, I really wasn’t a fan of this dish especially considering how expensive it was. I guess the flavor was ok, but the crab was SO greasy! I’m all for eating with my hands and getting messy but it’s gross to be squeezing and crushing THAT much oil out of your food. Ugh, I definitely would not order this again.

Mmm, this empanada was delicious! I also got a side of chimichurri sauce to go with it and they made a great lunch snack. One is definitely not enough for an entire meal, but two is getting there. 🙂
