Passed by today and turned around and went in to try. My god are they good. Got beef and chicken. Both were so good. The staff was amazing and gave me some short bread sticks. Defiantly give those a try.

The dough of empanada was great. But the filling especially chicken and beef are too dry. Vegetable empanada is good.

We ordered all the available empanadas and they were all absolutely delicious! Especially the chicken one, which had us coming back for more. The mango spicy sauce was spectacular as well. I just wish they had more space to sit down and enjoy the empanadas and that some of the frozen variations were also available for immediate consumption, but honestly, I'd 100% grab a few empanadas and just go for a picnic on the park! Absolute gem of a place, will come back many times for sure.

Olga is amazing with her sincere smile and a warm reception. I try the chicken empanadas with the cilantro sauce and it’s delicious. I got frozen guava and chicken empanadas as well. I recommend.

Tried for the first time last week I never do this but had to let people know. This place is way overpriced and the empanadas are bland with no flavour. The patties are small and the filling is minimal. $4.50 for a small pizza pocket? Sorry but go further into new west and get tacos.

The empanadas here are SO good! Seriously, every bite is full of flavor. The service was super nice too, which made everything even better. They have such a great variety to choose from, but my favorites were definitely the Pastor and the Spicy Chicken empanadas—they were just perfect. Oh, and the jalapeño cilantro sauce? Amazing! It’s the perfect combo with everything. Can’t wait to go back and try more!”

Came here a few weeks ago for the first time and the empanadas were great and the staff were extremely friendly. Be sure to expect to give them some time to prepare everything fresh (maybe 20min). We will be coming back soon, thanks for a great lunch!

I was blessed to have found Carmen for my last minute event. One of the best tasting empanadas I have ever had in Canada. I recommend this place to everyone looking for catering for their events or even a quick bite! Exceeded any expectations of service and taste! They even left instructions on how to reheat them to serve! Thank you once again Empanada Gal
