Description:

  • This place calls itself "La Reina de las Empanadas" (the Queen of Empanadas), and that indeed it is. It serves an enormous range of empanadas, all made with a very light dough and slightly burnt edges; they're never heavy or greasy. The place is busy and loud, with the constant din of conversation bouncing off the tile-and-stone walls and the glass-plate windows looking out over Callao. There are tables, as well as a takeout section and an area for standing and eating. The place looks like many of the fast-food-chain empanada emporiums, but this is the only one of its kind. Waiters are frantic, and you may have to keep reminding them of what you ordered; the place is just too busy for normal humans to keep up with the pace. Italian specialties such as calzones and pizzas round out the menu choices. Deliveries can be made to nearby hotels.
