About Empanada Kitchen

Empanada Kitchen serves deliciously crisp and hot empanadas that are reasonably priced. The classic beef empanada, paired with light but flavorful chimichurri sauce, remains a standout favorite. The empanadas are the perfect size, especially for the 3 for $11 deal, and they offer a variety of flavors, including chicken, mushroom and goat cheese, ham and cheese, lamb, and caprese. The restaurant is known for its prompt service and friendly staff, with Oliver providing great recommendations. The space is nice and clean, including the restroom, making it a pleasant dining experience. Empanada Kitchen is conveniently located near the La Jolla Tide pools, perfect for enjoying a peaceful morning at the beach with a healthy, delicious, and finger food-friendly meal. Vegetarian options are available and are not mere afterthoughts. Additionally, the egg and bacon and ham and cheese empanadas are popular choices for kids. With two locations, Empanada Kitchen is a must-try for tourists and locals alike, especially on a Sunday evening when there is no waiting in line.
