Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Peguei a empada de frango e catupiry e estava maravilhosa, além de muito quente mas eu amei! Um bom lugar para comer e junto de uma limonada (estávamos com alguns amigos e 5 empadas + 1L de limonada deu $50), fica sensacional. A senhora que nos atendeu só parecia estar um pouco sem paciência e algumas opções que pedimos estava sendo feito, mas fora isso não tenho do que reclamar. Precisa ficar de pé no fluxo para comer."
"Provei a empada de carne com jiló e estava bem boa!! Custou R$ 8. O atendimento que achei desorganizado e o balcão de atendimento poderia ser mais cuidado, organizado e limpo.mas a empada é bem gostosa, me surpreendeu."
"Lá, você acompanha a preparação da empada desde o início até o momento em que sai do forno. Massa leve e bem recheada, atendimento excelente e funcionárias super gentis. Realmente, é um lugar que deve estar na lista de visitas no Mercado Central de BH. Experimentamos a empada de milho com parmesão, a de jiló com carne, a de queijo com goiabada, além de um pão de queijo e um cafezinho coado. O valor cobrado é R$ 8,00 por qualquer sabor de empada, incluindo o pão de queijo. Diferente de outros locais que visitamos, aqui você faz o pedido, se serve e só depois realiza o pagamento. Super recomendo!"
"Fui provar a famosa empada de jiló, e que delícia! Nunca tinha comido uma empada com a massa tão leve e bem recheada. Só o ambiente que é um pouco desorganizado, mas vale a pena conhecer."
"O local é bem confuso no quesito organização e pedido. Primeiro você PEGA, e só depois você PAGA. Sim, isso mesmo. Ai todo mundo pedindo ao mesmo tempo. A empadas que provamos são boas. Empada de milho com parmesão e empada de frango com bacon. O valor comprado é justo, 8 reais por qualquer sabor."
"Empada de jiló com carne de comer chorando. Local raiz, ponto obrigatório no passeio pelo mercado central, 9 reais a empada."
"The best Empada I've ever eaten and super friendly staff!"
"Localizado dentro do Mercado central, é muito simples, porém pitoresco. As empadas são muito saborosas. Se tiver coragem pode experimentar também a empada de jiló! O atendimento é o ponto alto! Simpatia, educação, bom humor, alegria de viver! Preços muito bons!"
