Empanadas Restaurants near La Puente, CA

“Came here for lunch with a friend. Great service. Enjoyed the handmade tortillas (corn), tamales, and barbacoa. Very very yum. FYI there is a 4% service charge (nbd, imo). Try the Pozol de Cacoa (it's somewhere in between horchata and champurado).“

“What a treat to have an Ubatuba in our area now! Our kids loved the acai bowl the M size is perfect for sharing and they get to choose all their favorite fruit toppings. The shop is clean and open and there is a water bottle fountain filling station that is nice and convenient. Will come back for more and try smoothies.“

“In town for business and DoorDash ordered the Skewers Mixed Grill platter. The portion was huge and everything in the platter were super delicious! I'm definitely ordering again from this Aladdin restaurant.

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

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

“The iconic Tito's Submarine sandwich is always great, along with the beef empanadas second to none. Been coming to Tito's since I was a kid. Service at the Monrovia location us fast and there is no wait. Highly recommended and won't break the bank.“

“Probably the best little hidden gem in this area. It's got a big quiet parking lot. The place is completely unassuming from the outside.
I've had burritos, tacos and sándwiches from this place and everything I've ever picked up from here has been A+. If you're near, you should definitely stop by.“

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

“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!!“

“I've been coming to El Buen Gusto ever since it was in Pico Rivera on Slauson. I moved down to Laguna Beach when I was 18 and had not been back since. I was up on the Whittier side of town and saw this place. A lot of memories resurfaced and decided to stop for old time sake.
Our hostess was very welcoming, warming, attentive and funny. However she didn't know what non-fat water and gluten free ice was. Nonetheless, I ordered the Chilaquiles. The presentation and taste of my meal was something similar to what my grandma or my mom would plate. I'm glad I stopped by, I don't make it up here to this side of town that often yet my next trip up here will definitely warrant stopping by for a quick meal.
For those who live close by you're extremely fortunate to have El Buen Gusto in your neighborhood.
As for location they are located at the southeast corner of Beverly and Norwalk Blvd's. It's not that far off the 605 frwy. If you're heading east on Beverly Blvd it's on the right just as you cross Norwalk. If you're directionally challenged, it's right next door to weeny-dog.
You can't go wrong with the comfort food of El Buen Gusto.
Tell them I sent you....“

“First time here; been meaning to try this spot for a long time. Everything tasted great- we had sancocho de gallina, beef empanadas, frijoles & arroz con pollo. The aji was on the spicier side, so if you’re used to a more vinegary/lemony salsa, don’t pour it all over your food before trying it (like I did) 🤣
Will definitely come back for more.“
