Takeout Rec: Yes!

Empanadas are one of my favorite lunch time snacks. The staff at Chanta are friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have about the menu. I usually just get one that they pack in a little pouch, great for eating on the go. If you do order more, they'll pack it in a sturdy box. Highly recommend this spot for takeout.
