" As someone who's pretty picky about my empanadas, Lito's did not disappoint. I ordered the chicken and cheese, and while the filling was plentiful, it lacked a bit of seasoning for my taste. The staff was friendly and the cook times were reasonable. The atmosphere was cozy, though a bit cramped during busy hours. Overall, I'd say it's worth a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Lito's is an absolute gem! The empanadas are without a doubt the best thing on the menu. I tried both the sweet and savory options, and each was flavorful and perfectly cooked. I was particularly impressed with the homemade sauces that paired well with both types. The staff was friendly and quick to assist, making for a pleasant experience. Lito's has definitely found a recurring customer in me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I appreciate that Lito's focuses on making their empanadas fresh with plenty of filling. The chorizo empanada was particularly impressive, packed with flavor.

" If you haven't been to Lito's, you're missing out! Their empanadas are not just food, they are an experience. The spinach and cheese was very savory, and I loved how fresh everything tasted. Friendly staff and a clean environment as well. It's the kind of place you want to keep coming back to. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried Lito's after hearing so much about it. The empanadas lived up to the hype! Crispy, flavorful, and full of filling. But the service during my visit was surprisingly slow, which took away from the experience a bit. I would still recommend stopping by; just go when you have time to spare. " (*Curated Review*)
