My fav Empanadas were the ham and cheese and the cinnamon apple. It was my first time having an Empanada. Really enjoyed the 1 year anniversary party. Congrats to 1 year. Thinking about coming back Thursday for the dessert special. i want to try some more. They are addicting.
Very yummy. i attended the one year anniversary both days at the Costa Mesa restaurant. definitely will be back.
Definitely 5 stars for the taste and variety of empanadas. I had the original beef, ham and cheese, and chicken florentine specialty. All were excellent!!! But lose a star due to inconvenience and sauce issue. This site is part of SmartKitchens, where you share the front desk with a bunch of other "kitchens" and is managed by kiosks and ring doorbells. Took over 45 minutes for a dozen and there was no one to tell me how much longer I needed to wait (no one answered to my doorbell). I made the mistake of not ordering online. The online ordering includes a large sauce when ordering a dozen, but not when you order at the kiosk. That's fine, so I ordered 3 large (4 oz) chimichurri sauces, but they gave me 6 regular (1.5 oz) instead. And by the way, buying 3 regular size chimichurri sauces gives you 0.5 oz more for the same price as paying for a large.I'll re-review with a 5 star on my next visit if the taste remains the same and ordering goes well.
Great place and food. The service was wonderful. Cool way if doing business. If you think you're in the wrong place, your not.
Pros:1-Closer to home.2. Fairly cheap at $2.99 per empanada.3-The ease of ordering (you ring a bell and a rep from the restaurant comes out and takes your order).Cons:1-The particular order I got was a bit cold that I had to reheat the empanadas in our small toaster oven!2-The one in this location doesn't offer a complete menu meaning they don't sell sides like potato salad there.3-The ingredients of the chicken empanada, that I ordered (their sauce), was too sour this time for some reason! The beef was better.4- A bit hard to find if you're not used to the area. Parking is not ample.
Good food! The Philly cheesesteak and green salsa are my favorite
How is the food on your food truck not fresh? Lol 30 bucks for Luke warm food. Total disappointment
so convenient and a variety of delicious food ! ordering felt so easy
These Empanadas are amazing! We had them catered for our staff and everyone loved the food. The rice, beans, salad, and sauces were also very good. Highly recommend giving this place a try!
Very delicious empanadas, price fair for dozen of Mixed empanadas Choices, it's not too rich the flavor and spices, perfect to eat many and don’t get tired of the taste! Our favorite Is the classic beef empanada, which includes potatoes, I am not big fun of potatoes inside the empanada but, I couldn’t feel the potatoes at all, very pleasant flavor ! Chumichurri is not too rich, I like the Argentine and Brazilian one which are rich and great to eat the empanada with squeeze of lime, my Peruvian way! Definitely , I will get more for my family! They are fast to get your order, not even 3 minutes wait, very Polite the cashier, very clean location, happy they have big parking area around. Can’t wait to try the other flavors!!! Thank you!

Empanada is my top favorite hand held food and this place just does it right!! Ive tried all of their dessert empanadas and believe me they were all delicious! Its hard to have a favorite in them haha. The other empanada that I tried was the ham and cheese empanada, it was so delicious and balanced taste. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back to try other empanadas by them.
Very quick. I ordered over the phone ahead of time. Don't rely on Google maps to get to the front door. It leads you to the delivery entrance in the back. Just drive around the building to get to the smart kitchen entrance door. It is shared with other restaurants and it looks more like an office building than restaurant. Im assuming it is geared more for delivery
Their spinach empanada was just as good as the food truck!!! Just fyi this place is located within smart kitchen and the Google directions are a bit wonky constantly saying to turn left. In addition there is no seating and they are not set up to take orders at the location in the traditional sense. You'll need to place your order on smartkitchensinc.com or download their app.
Exquisitas, extraordinarias, únicas, deleite para el paladar. Son las mejores empanadas que he probado hasta ahora, gracias Empanada Marker.
I love this place every time I’m in mission Viejo I always come here the rice is amazing and Empandas are also good
