NoFo Times note
We love the empanadas at goodfood. The pulled pork and mango empanada is a favorite, especially with the chimichurri sauce. The sauce makes the empanadas even better — bright, herby, and exactly what you want with the flaky pastry and rich filling. The home-baked cookies are another reason we keep going back. This is one of those places where you stop for lunch and end up leaving with extra empanadas, cookies, and something you are already looking forward to eating later.
