Empanadas Restaurants near Emeryville, CA

“The BEST homemade empanadas with a variety of flavors - the new poblano mole is to DIE for and they said a new birria flavor is coming soon! The staff is so nice and makes you feel like family as soon as you walk in - they also make pastries and fresh smoothies/juices that are delightful (no added sugars, super refreshing!) It's a small, cozy shop with outdoor and window seating right next to the stanford hospital so it's convenient for me. Will always come here when i'm in the area and get a dozen to take home for the week!“

“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“

“Cafe Buenos Aires has some of the best empanadas I’ve had in my life. The empanadas are not greasy and full of flavor. They also have the rare nopales (cactus) flavor, which is complex and well balanced. The staff is super friendly and will heat up your empanadas for a good 5 minutes so they taste hot and fresh. They also have a ton of Renude drinks(chagaccino, collagen latte, hot chocolate). I am so fortunate to have found them and went twice during my weeklong trip in SF. I will definitely be back. Thank you!“

“Honestly, this place is a hidden gem 🔥 The food and coffee are seriously amazing, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, perfect for hanging out with friends, having a date, or just enjoying some quiet time. The prices are great too! If you haven’t been here yet, you’re definitely missing out. Highly recommend checking it out!“

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

“This place is pure Guatemalan awesomeness! It's just as good if not better than the original. The pan francés And pan dulce are on point, and the breakfast is amazing. If you love Guatemalan and Central American style breakfast this is the place for you. I have to warn you though, parking and seating is tough on the weekends. So be ready to park a few blocks away, and hunt for a good table once you get there.“

“Everything was wonderful. I had the cheese and loroco pupusa and a fried squash dish whose name I can’t remember. It was recommended by my Salvadoran nephew. He also loved everything. Others took home pastries for later.“

“WOW. I tried two flavors of the empanadas - the vegetarian and steak - and both were delicious. The dough was the unexpected highlight - they make it in-house, and it’s the perfect salty and crunchy shell for the filling. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

What an amazing small business to support. Don’t hesitate, TRY IT! You won’t regret it.“

“First and foremost, I have to apologize for not having a better photo of my empanada! Our family each bought one before heading to Angel Island and packed them away to enjoy later. As tempting as it was to eat them immediately while they were still warm and filling the air with their amazing aroma, we wanted to save them for a picnic with a view and it ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the day.

Even after cooling down, my mushroom empanada was phenomenal. The pastry was beautifully flaky without being dry, and the filling was packed with flavor while remaining well-balanced and not overly salty. Other members of our group were equally impressed with their choices, including the beef, shrimp, and ham-and-cheese varieties.

If the empanadas were this good after sitting for a while, I can only imagine how incredible they are fresh out of the oven.

Honestly, one was not enough! I'd gladly order a few more the next time I'm in the area.“

“Deliciosas empanadas, y muy buena música y servicio 💕“

“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“

“Saw this place on the news and their pan con todo ( Bread with everything, beans,cheese,egg and plantain) looked very delicious that I had to try it out right away. It did not disappoint at all, I will definitely be checking this place out more often for breakfast sandwiches.“

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

“Delicious!!! Always fresh!! Recommend to anyone that’s loved 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. 😋“
