Empanadas Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“What a delightful place to stop and grab a delicious empanada or a boba drink. I just love the chicken adobo empanadas. The pastry is fresh, flaky, and crispy. The lightly spicy chicken and potato filling is tender and savory. So good. Be sure and try the house-made sweet chili sauce as well. For dessert, try the mango cheese cake empanada. It is tangy, fruity, rich with cream cheese and topped with a sugar-glazed crust. The prices are very affordable too!“

“Amazing service from a place that actually cares about its workers and the food is delicious …got my coworkers hooked on their pastries and empanadas hehe …good veggie options … a very good assortment of teas… this place is a little hidden being back off the street, but it’s well worth the hunt and once you’ve found it you’ll be glad you did there’s a little private sitting area in front of the shop that’s surprisingly quiet for the area a perfect stop for lunch“

“Love love love all their empanadas ! Ask for extra hot cuz they often get served warm. Just don’t burn your mouth! The drinks are mostly made with a powdered packet which is fine but underwhelming. I appreciate the vibes and kind staff! Great location for co working and spending hours on their wifi haha“

“Excellent place, great flavors of Argentina try the Sanwhich de milanesa“

“Wonderful food, great service and we enjoyed it very much.“

“Small shop with some seating inside and out (weather permitting). Nice variety of empanada flavors to choose from. Each one is baked with a crispy, flaky crust and a good portion of filling inside. They also sell frozen packages to take and bake.“

“Fantastic fresh empanadas. Great for a simple snack or buy a few and have a meal. Not inexpensive, but well worth the price. Service is fast and friendly. Don't be put off by a long line. The ambiance is that of a crowded ferry building marketplace. There is nowhere to sit and eat unless you go outside and find a spot on the curb.“

“I just visited the one on polk and the coffee is delicious.. the establishment was very clean and has beautiful paint that's relaxing to the eyes. There large selection of empanadas and friendly employees is something nice for a change in the neighborhood. I got caught up talking to a customer about the bathhouse on eddy as I was adding to my coffee 3.50. Unbeknownst to me it was the owner and cute too lol.. will definitely be my goto morning coffee shop now.. thanks for being here for us :)“

“Delicious and great for parties! Always a big hit with adults & kids. Thank you Erica for another great order!“

“I was very excited because I went on Tuesday and the girl was very kind and her service was nice and the food was very delicious, and today I went back again but the owner of the place is a little rude and unfriendly: but the taste of the food is delicious“

“I recently discovered how much I love Empanadas within the last few years, so I was really stoked when they opened this location. They used to partner with another bakery next-door to the Y in downtown Oakland, so it was really nice to see this spot close by. The chicken empanadas are always my go to, but the Fugazzeta (cheese and onion ) has grown to be my favorite item on the menu! the staff are very friendly and help you figure out what’s for you if you’ve never been or are undecided on what to get. ( and if you have a sweet tooth, they tend to have Alfajores & sweet Empanadas sale as well! )Only downside is that there isn’t much indoor seating which could be a problem if it’s colder out, but this is minor in my opinion. Definitely worth trying if you want some good authentic Argentinian food.

Vegetarian options: they offer great options for both meat, lovers and vegetarians!“

“I love grabbing an empanada here when I get off the ferry and go to work. It's hot, fresh, fast, and delicious. I purchased a jar of their chimchurri sauce because I'm so obsessed with it. They have both savory and sweet empanadas.“

“This little gem is located inside Ferry Building Marketplace. It’s is one of the few places open early in the morning to get food. The woman working was friendly. We had no wait. I ate the Fugazzeta Empanada… it literally melted in my mouth. It was the best empanada I have ever had. The price seemed high for just one, but the taste made it worth it!“

“This is a newer bakery in the area. It has a small parking lot. The inside has always been clean and the bread always looks and tastes fresh in addition to very neatly presented. My parents like it as well. The service has always been delivered with a smile. As far as the foods, I've only tried the tamales and they were good. The pudin is my favorite bakery item. 😋“

“Get the delache cake. I didn't get to taste it because I don't eat cake but everybody at work said it was great. The best one they've ever had. Staff is great and helpful. I recommend this place because a small and you feel like you can relate with the people that work there“

“Great empanadas!! It’s an awesome breakfast treat!“
