    DINNER

    BUENAS SPECIALS

    Menu Items featuring Buenas products!! About Buenas... We weren't always Buenas. Until 2010 we were just the kids of immigrant parents, content to ride through life in the limbo that is a first-generation upbringing. We'd just moved to Los Angeles from Miami and, faced with a plethora of (absolutely the best) Mexican cuisine, we found ourselves missing the Argentinian, Chilean and Uruguayan flavors we grew up eating. So we started making and sharing empanadas with friends who loved everything about them—from the dough we made from scratch to the sauce we served on the side—and the rest, as they say, is history.
