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.

It’s so good! Stopped by in the morning to try it out and ended up coming back the same day in the evening to order again. The staff is really friendly and while we waited they let us sample their pineapple and strawberry agua. We will definitely come back again.

It wasn't a busy day just me and one other customer. Didn't get what I ordered. It was too late when I realized it. Got a bag of flavors like pepperoni that I didn't pick and they all tasted bad.

Great first experience here, at first I was only going to get like 7 empanadas but that deal they have for a dozen got me. So many different kinds of empanadas to choose from. Me and my baby momma got The OG, Birria & Consome, Chicken Chipotle, Rajas, Banana Nutella, and Churro Cheese cake. I was NOT dissapointed at all. Amazinggggg, every single one of them. Customer service from the gentlemen that helped us was also on point. Overall me and my family really enjoyed the empanadas and gave this place a 10/10. Parking is available I parked right in front.

The best Empanadas I have ever had! Crispy crusts and the fillings are unbelievably good. The salsa is legit and the service was great.
