9 Julio Empanada Kitchen

Delicious empanadas. Service and warmth would make this a great experience. It’s lacking a bit.

The chicken rojo empanada is yummy along with the chimichurri.

Friend sent me a gift certificate for the spot... It gave me a chance to sample almost all the empanadas. Delicious variety with lots of filling. I will definitely be going back!

I haven't actully eaten at this location but they have a pop up kitchen in oracle park and it was some of the best food I've ever had in a ballpark, awesome chicken skewers and mashed taters

I ordered empanadas, skewers, and agua fresca for my birthday party and they were DELICIOUS. Not only was the delivery right on time, everything came steaming hot! This will be my go-to for party food from now on.

I ordered from 9 Julio's Empanadas for an event for 40 alumni in the Bay Area. The reviews from the attendees were really positive. I ordered their farmers market salad, empanadas (vegetarian, meat and dessert), steak, plantain chips, and some other delicious dishes). The process was easy from placing the order to delivery.

I was hosting this event and flying from Los Angeles in a space co-hosted in the Bay Area so I wanted great and delicious food but didn't want to worry about the food logistics. I wanted to worry about the event only.

The food was fresh and sourced locally.

Had a fun dinner with friends at 9 Julio Empanada Kitchen in Oakland’s Temescal neighborhood, my first time there. It’s an informal spot - order and pick up at the counter. We had four kinds of savory empanadas (Chicken Salsa Verde, Cuban Picadillo, Mushroom & Onion, and Spinach & Cheese), Chimichurri Steak, plantain chips, and spiced sweet potatoes, and we each got a different locally-brewed beer - I had an Original Pattern Lucid Illusion Hazy IPA. Everything was really good, and the Cuban Picadillo was my favorite of the empanadas we had. I thought the value for the quality and portions was very good, and I’d gladly come back again.

Very friendly service. A great menu. We enjoyed everything. It may seem minor, but there is real silverware and nice glassware. - that is so unusual for a quick meal place. Next time I'll try the salad we spied at another table , and the chimichurri steak.

Food is great.
But both times I’ve been here it takes an insanely long time to get our food. Which makes no sense since the empanadas are already made, right?

Lovely vibe and great food. Just returned from vacation in Argentina and the food here is so authentic and delicious, it brought back the good feelings of being there.
Ordering enough for a party this weekend to share the flavors of South America.
The owner Erica is welcoming and helpful in planning and in ordering.

The plantain chips were by far the best thing, but was a nice little place to eat quietly.

Well, me and my family went here on some late night and I ordered three empanadas a Jamaican beef empanada a chicken salsa verde, and the spinach and cheese empanada and the chicken salsa Verde is the best. I’m gonna go back to try the Rojo chicken empanada. the flavor is really good. Nothing was too greasy. Nothing was too sweet because I ended up getting a banana empanada too. It was good for my first time.

Food is so flavorful and freshly prepared - come try it for yourself! The empanadas are the main attraction but I also enjoyed their gaucho chopped salad and Peruvian chicken - delicious! They also have beer and wine on tap.
