" Absolutely love this place! Every empanada I’ve tried has been delicious. The fillings are generous, and I really enjoy the variety. The atmosphere is inviting, making it a perfect spot to catch up with friends over great food. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t already! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here based on my friend's recommendation and was a bit disappointed. The empanadas were good, but I expected more from the authenticity aspect. It felt like they catered more to the local palate. However, the service was friendly, and the vibes of the place were nice. " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors at Golden Tuzo are incredible! The mole rojo is spicy yet rich, and the beef and potato filling was hearty and satisfying. I enjoyed everything, including the fresh agua de sandia I ordered alongside my meal. The only downside was a slight wait during peak hours, but it was well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" To say Golden Tuzo is my go-to for empanadas would be an understatement. I've been multiple times now and every single visit has been fantastic. I even ordered a large batch for a family gathering, and everyone raved about how good they were! The variety is incredible—from sweet fillings to savory, they offer it all. I particularly enjoy the guava and cheese empanada. The owner is incredibly kind and passionate about keeping the recipes authentic. This is truly a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered this hidden gem on a rainy day and decided to give it a try. Best decision ever! The empanadas are phenomenal and packed with flavor. Can't believe I only got to try a few; next time I'll be ordering more. The cozy space with cheerful decor made me feel right at home. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Tuzo is decent for a quick snack, but I expected more based on the buzz surrounding it. While the empanadas are tasty, I found the portions to be a bit small for the price. The staff was polite, but I felt like they could have been more attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Tuzo is a fantastic restaurant. The pastry is buttery and the fillings are just right. I tried the Hawaiian paste and loved it. The price is very reasonable for what you get, and I appreciated how the owner personally takes care of customers. A must-try for all empanada lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
