Absolutely amazing. My wife and I had our first date at optimist hall 2 years ago, had the empanadas and had the best date ever. 2 years later, the service is just as amazing if not better and the food is incredible. Felix, the owner, is awesome and very generous. We will definitely be coming back. Yall have to order the fries with whatever you order. We got a shepherd's pie empanada which was different, but so good. We also got the cheese empanada which is a classic go to, never disappoints. The steak empanadas hit the spot. We also got a chicken empanada which was delicious. The sauces are incredible and packed with flavor, as is everything on the menu. Absolutely 10/10.

Beef option recommended. Always go with beef - the chicken empanadas lack a little flavor. If you use the chimichurri it will help, but it should not be like that. Also keep in mind that the carne empanadas have raisins (Tucumanas, but not in the large sense) Overall good. The area around is awesome! With lots of seating options

I LOVE Feliz empanadas. They have so many different options to choose from and each are made fresh with many different flavors. My go-to order is the 3 empanada of choice for 13 . They also let you get as many sauces as you'd like so definitely try out their Mambo sauce !! I have also tried the pizza empanada and it is amazing. The service is fast and the staff is very friendly. It is located inside of a food hall and they do not have the t"ext when your order is ready" option, so you do have to stand near their location while waiting for your food.

I had the Jamaican beef empanada with chimichurri. It was the best empanadas I've ever had. And the staff was super cool.

Went to optmist hall for family day and ordered from Felix's Empanadas. I chose the 2 empanada combo with truffle fries and a drink. The Jamaican Patty was okay. I feel like it was missing something and I didn't care too much for the texture of the beef. The Cheeseburger Empanada was very good as well as the truffle fries. They offer free drink refills and the young man who placed my order was very friendly. Will definitely return to try other empanadas.
