When I say this place is amazing I’m actually underselling it. I could eat myself into bankruptcy on these. Every one I’ve tried is better than the last. They even reheat well. So so so good. They are like $7/8 a piece and you will definitely eat more than one. I’ve been telling everyone I know about it since going for the first time. So much flavor. Cash only though

Some food is so good that you black out while you eat it and this is exactly what happened. I got the spicy chicken empanada and it tasted like a chicken roast inside. The chicken was tender, easy to pull apart, and the filling was soupy but not too oily in the slightest. I had had a spicy chicken empanada before, which tasted like they just added hot sauce to the chicken, but this one tasted like it was slow cooked to actually let the flavors seep in.
The atmosphere is very warm and the owner is super nice.
Note that it’s cash only!

This place is great. I ordered 2 criolla empanadas for takeout and I believe they were the best empanadas I have ever tasted. The guy at the counter was super sweet and offered me free sauce and a cookie :) would definitely go back!

I was excited to try empanadas again after my trip to Argentina, then one of the bites I noticed this white hair inside. Probably the chef doesn't wear a hair net. We cannot see the chef or kitchen staff because they are in a separated room.

We so much love going to Empanada's Place. We have been going for years and it never disappointments. The owner is usually there, but all of the staff is the best. They will tell you everything you need to know.
The place is so cute with a little gift area and cool photos and art on the walls. There is limited seating indoor and out. We have done it all, but we tend to just get a dozen empanadas and take them home. They are close to us. They don't stay open late so get there before 6 pm.
The service is fast and the place is always ever so clean.
They treat all customers like family and appreciate the business.
They make all types of empanadas and some are mild and some are pretty spicy. They are great for gatherings of friends or holidays.
They also have great sandwiches.
You will love this place and they will love you.

This little empanada spot had flaky pastry and interesting fillings — I tried a spicy beef and a spinach-cheese that were both flavorful. The sauces they serve on the side were bright and tangy, perfect for cutting richness. The counter staff chatted about the daily specials and gave a friendly vibe. It’s the kind of place you spot and immediately plan to come back to. Great for a handheld, portable meal.

This place is very interesting, you step inside the restaurant and it feels a different place and a different time. Empanadas are to die for! They also have vegetarian ones.

Best empanadas in LA! I'm picky when it comes to empanadas: the dough, the fillings and how it's cooked... these are top notch the best ones.
They're big! so the price is fair for the size and quantity. also you can tell they fry them in the moment
