avi's Cooking is where owner Javier Sandes finally put down roots, bringing the Argentine empanadas he'd been baking for Bay Area events and First Fridays into a sunny little brick-and-mortar on Market Street. The empanadas are baked, not fried — flaky, golden, and around four dollars each — with fillings like spiced beef with egg, mushroom and caramelized onion, and pulled pork with jalapeno and pineapple. Save room for the alfajores, the dulce de leche sandwich cookies, and grab a jar of house chimichurri on the way out. There's a little parklet out front, it's dog-friendly, and the welcome is as warm as the kitchen.
