“I was having some work done at nearby Car Audio One, and I walked over to Empanada Spot to kill some time. The shopping center is small and quiet, and I wasn't sure what to expect - but I was very pleasantly surprised!The restaurant was very nice and well maintained or newly renovated. The Empanadas were delicious, as were the salsas (particularly the red Salsas). The Empanadas were a good size, but after initially ordering two I went back to order a third (and then talked myself into a fourth, LOL!).Overall would highly recommend Empanada Spot as a nice 'change of pace' from the normal fast casual dining spots; great food and friendly service made it a great experience.“

The baba ghanoush and falafel were INCREDIBLE, even by comparison to dishes I've had while travelling in the middle east. Highly recommend to anyone visiting San Diego! Well worth the drive from down town (better quality, better price). Bonus for LOTS of vegetarian and vegan options.“

“Attended an event here last night and their catering menu was on point! The truffle mac and cheese was a personal fave because you could take the premium cheeses used to create it. I also really enjoyed the frisky fried cauliflower and the pretzel bites! The service was also great. The servers refilled my drinks and took my empty plates promptly. This restaurant is perfect for a date night or a small private event! Looks like it would be a really good vibe on a weekend as they also had a DJ. I would definitely recommend this place! S/O to Chef Shawn for the delicious dishes!“

“Came here during their happy hour and they offer some pretty good deals. Got their mastiff fries, Brussels sprouts, and smash burger slider. Each of these were $5. They also offer $5 off all their whole pizzas. Took advantage of this and ordered their That's My Boy pizza. Suuuuuper good. Comes with pepperoni, ricotta cheese, jalapeño, honey, and red sauce. The balance of spiciness and sweetness is perfect. I noticed they had a bunch of beers on draft so it would be a great place to chill and have some drinks, too.“

“What a pleasant surprise! My family just arrived in San Diego and wanted to sit down at a restaurant. What a great choice!! We initially were a little put off when we realized we needed to pay for parking and also couldn't locate the entrance. Once we got that figured out, we were seated in under 5 minutes. The hostess was really sweet with my daughter. Our waitress Jessica was AWESOME! It was refreshing to have a waitress that actually seemed to enjoy people as this was not the case in a prior experience at a restaurant in Newport. She also made some great food recommendations. The fish was so fresh! The burgers were huge. The fries were delicious. My favorite of all was the lavender martini. Oh my! I will be returning especially for that. What a great start to our San Diego trip! I highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu and the staff were very sweet with my kids.“

“I would have given five stars across-the-board if not for one issue. They are understaffed. The waiter was much too busy for the number of tables he had, and while we definitely don't mind waiting, my mother started having a bad coughing attack, and he still hadn't brought any water to the table after 20 minutes. I went to the bar to ask for water because she was having a hard time, and he didn't listen to me, he just kept saying “in a minute, in a minute” when I insisted I just needed a water quickly for her. I had to rush across the street to get some water for her. Eventually he brought over our beverages, but not a water for her.  That being said, the food was delicious, and definitely worth the value . They just need some help.“
