Lamb empanadas!!!

Great little place. It is very casual, no servers, just empanadas. Almost like a pizza by the slide place. Real tasty quick bite! Couldn’t take the picture fast enough:)

To say that Empanda Kitchen changed my life would be an understatement. This is one of my favorite places in all of San Diego - I have been coming for a while now and food has always been consistent, flavors are all so good and the spicy chimichurri is needed. I order pretty consistently on Postmates and the food travels great as well. Don’t miss out on the sweet corn and basil empanada!

Just had the best lunch here with my two friends. I ordered 3 empanadas, but two would have been enough. I'm totally looking forward to having the third one for a snack later. I will definitely be coming back here whenever I am in town. I didn't catch the name of the guy working the counter, but he was awesome.

Based off customer service alone I knew I was going to leave a review. The lady at the counter was so sweet and you could tell she loved being there. With that in mind my intentions were to take a bite and snap a picture for this review. However after that first heavenly bite I couldn’t stop. I had chosen the goat cheese and mushroom empanada. It was absolutely delicious with the spicy sauce omg. I will definitely be back. I haven’t had something that amazing in years. Almost made me feel like I could be a vegan and baby I love meat.

I can't get enough of Empanadas! Every time I visit, I'm greeted with a warm welcome and the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked empanadas. With their wide variety of flavors, it's always a tough decision, but whether I go for the classic beef or try something new like the chicken or apple pie I'm never disappointed. Empanadas has become my go-to spot for satisfying my cravings!

Food is delicious. I recommend getting takeout. You can order online. They have a small parking lot with 2 spots for 15 minute pickup. The parking lot is tight. I wouldn't recommend going in with a full size truck/suv. It's a shared, small lot so I wouldn't go in there expecting to find parking.

No bathrooms.

Staff is nice & friendly.

My elementary aged kids ate 2 each. I had 3 but probably could've easily eaten 4.

Small, but who cares as long as they keep empanadas flowing. Great appetizer for small or larger party. Just keep warm in oven or as needed.
