Empanadas Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“Chicken empanadas and chimichiri sauce the best“

“The food and staff were amazing. The oxtails and greens were fire!!! Best I’ve had in a long time. And treat yourself to an empanada and lemonade. Deliciouso!!“

“If you can’t pull Oaxaca but are savoring to sample the cuisine, Comedor Tenchita makes a great alternative without the airfare. It is nestled in the backyard of a home in West Adams. I believe it is only open on Sundays. Once seated you can easily imagine being in Mexico. The service is great, our server came to our table carrying a smile and took our order for drinks and appetizers shortly after we were seated. We opted for their Chile Relleno, empanadas and menudo. All very good and authentic. For drinks, mechelada, modelo and cafe de olla. Mechelada was on point and the beer was served cold. For our main course we went with the tlayuda, carne asada and cabra (goat). The tlayuda was crispy and the toppings generous, one of the best I’ve had in LA. The goat was tender and came in a delicious broth, I used the homemade tortillas to make tacos. The server checked in frequently and even gave us each a complimentary shot of their house mezcal. He briefed us on the fermentation and distillation process as we sipped the golden nectar down. A musician arrived mid meal and performed lively Mexican folk music; looking around throughout the meal I got a sense that I was attending a Mexican wedding. Lively atmosphere. For a change of latitude and for some very good and authentic Oaxacan cuisine, I would highly recommend a visit to Comedor Tenchita“

“Got the 3 empanada combo looking for a snack not a full meal.
Ranking:
1) mushroom. Had the cheese pull of the day, flavorful, incredible.
2) Mac n cheese. Need I say more? Good Mac in a buttery empanada.
3) samosa. Slightly dry, but good flavor and with the dip the flavors really melded together perfectly.“

“Very good empanadas!
I always call 30 min prior and order 1 dozen of beef empanadas. I live in Bellflower CA. so when I come to my doctor’s appt this place is only 10 min away from the office. I take advantage and order 1 dz since I don’t have a nonnas near my home. I spend close to $70 for 1 dz beef empanadas. They only offer 6 chimichurri sauce with my order, either spicy or non spicy. Service I rate a 3 because the few times that I faithfully visit here, the person who I pay when I walk in either a young lady, or a woman with a heavy accent or a tall gentleman can really use a smile once in a while to make the atmosphere more welcome and humble.“

“get the combo #2 you will thank me.“

“Great empanada flavors, and the lady at the window taking orders is so nice. The restaurant is strictly to go, but there is a bench under a nice tree that you can sit on while waiting for your order. Oh, the onion rings and garlic fries are definitely something to try!“

“One of the best coffee place with good taste and fresh pastries and good attitude ✅“

“Biggest thing to know is that is cash only. The place is very compact, but homey.
Good food, and well seasoned. Only issue was how expensive it was. Parking is a little tough, but worth it for a little piece of Central America here in LA. Posting the latest menu updates circa 09/2024“

“Thank you Sports bar, I had a wonderful evening at the sport bar dancing and drinking water. The women are amazing and truly take care of everyone there. They even dance with you. May God bless each one of you. Thank you for dancing with me. I needed it more then you could ever know. 🩷“
