I had the pleasure of picking up an order from The Empanada Spot today as a DoorDash driver, and I was genuinely impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable about their menu, and eager to share information. I also learned they offer personal event setups for large gatherings, which is a great option for parties or special occasions. I had never heard of this place before, but after today, I’ll definitely be back—this spot is a hidden gem!

Amazing empanadas. The pork was our favorite. I hope more locations are coming soon! It’d be sweet to have one closer to home.

Went to this establishment today for first time with a friend. Wow! What a diamond in the rough. Clean, small and welcoming. The service was awesome and the food was well worth it. A few options to choose from, from original to pizza style. Prices are great. The sky is the limit for this place. I will be back.

I just happened to see this place driving down the street and stopped in, I think they're a little expensive, but they were good, I'd go there again

First time in. Empanadas were filled with hearty portions and the pastry was puffy and delicious. Owners son, Eduardo runs things and for good reason takes pride in this family run business.

This place popped up as a suggestion in my DoorDash app and I thought they looked good so I gave it a shot.

My life will never be the same. I ended up going back two days later for more.

The pastry on these empanadas is melt-in-your mouth delicious, and the filling is even better. I got a mix and match dozen so I've tried most flavors. While they are all delicious, the Quesabirria is hands down my favorite. Lord have mercy!

The sweet options also leave nothing to be desired. The Churro Cheesecake is a beautiful buttery cinnamon sugar pocket of heaven.

Seriously, go give them your money. You won't regret it.
