Empanadas Restaurants near La Puente, CA

“Fresh, bold, the tortillas say it all; assured, pillowy, layered and complex while being buttery soft and simple. That mole, with its sweet darkness, a hint of kick. The chips come to your table already sprinkled liberally with love; frijoles negros y cotija, one red and one green salsa - all this off the bat once you concede that yes, you would like some chips. I had the Chiapas #3 on the host’s recommendation and it was delicious - the chorizo and eggs was a bit oversalted, I think they double salted the chorizo and then again in the eggs, so that did show up a bit strong. I got the flautas which were lovely and thin while still being substantial. I got the platanos duros con crema dulce for desert, so good, just the right amount of char for sweet and a little savory. The chicken soup tastes unique, fresh, delicious. The spoon you use will be coated in viscous, golden goodness. A bunch of this food I got to go to share with a friend. We are both happy I came. Final note, I felt comfortable, safe, and welcome as a solo lady diner. 🌹🙏🏾“

“Empanadas for breakfast, lunch & dinner are delicious!“

“Kal and Ria are really great people! I love the atmosphere and service they provided. I would definitely come back and recommend this to people who want to try Mediterranean food but also like to enjoy the experience. Please come by and visit them! They deserve all the love and support from everyone that visit them. Get the chicken kabob plate its really good!“

“You will never get a sub quite as lovely as these. I don’t know why they’re so good, maybe fresh bread and fresh ingredients IDK but Turkey extra chili is my fave!! Mom loves Milanesa and the fried sides are YUMM too! I learned how to make my voice heard at the old little market. The big construction men at lunch time would be shouting out their orders. I was 11 years old and had to shout my order too!! Been a patron since 1982!!“

“Came to the fairly newly reopened El Bueno Gusto for dinner and happy that we did. As it was a nice night, we chose to sit in quaint patio area. We were brought out tasty chips and salsa and the attentive waitress took our drink order. Just fyi, beer and wine is only served inside.
We ordered the fish tacos and shrimp fajitas. Boy, they were extremely tasty, really fresh flavors. The beans and rice were good.
Prices were reasonable as well!
We will be back to try the asada and other meat dishes.
Looks like they are open for breakfast too.“

“This spot has been amazing every time we pickup. Usually get the large taco platter to feed our big crowd, and the crew are always very kind, helpful, and generous with their delicious salsas! Their fresh chips are also the best and worth an add to your order.“

“my daughter s favorite chicken empanada is right here.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Josephine’s Special Empanadas are delicious with a thin filling and meaty. Unlike other empanadas that are more veggies than meat inside.“

“Great people and amazing service. If a conversation isn't happening while you're waiting, you are doing it wrong. Don Jose and his wife are lovely, hard-working people. The food we ordered, bandeja paisa and sobrebarriga, were flavorful with healthy servings. Everything reasonably priced. Strongly recommend. A taste of Colombia.“
