I tried the salteña and the chorizo empanadas, honestly my favs, super good! Service was nice and fast too. The only thing is it gets way too hot inside, not really comfy to sit and eat. I even had to ask for a bag to take my food to go cuz it was just too hot 😅

Decent empanadas. Went there a little bit ago and wasn’t super memorable to be honest. Nice seating inside, we sat by the window. A few vegetarian options but not many. 1-2 empanadas did not feel filling enough for a meal in my opinion.

Every empanada was so yummy and the perfect size. Highly recommend mushroom, spinach and aji gallina empanadas. They also have a huge selection of veggie empanadas and meat empanadas. Can’t wait to come back 😄
Highly recommend this place. It’s so easy to get a few empanadas and eat them in Delores Park.
I’ve been a few times, and really liked the caprese empanada and the Argentine chorizo.

The empanadas are amazing—honestly some of the best I’ve had so far! They offer a great variety and are super filling. Definitely try the sangria—they do a fantastic job with it. Thank you Karina for your patience and attentiveness!

The empanadas here are next-level- crispy, flavorful, and generously filled. Whether you’re into classic beef or something more unique, they nail it every time. Special shoutout to Karina, who was incredibly thoughtful and attentive- she made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming, which is rare in most business these days!

Bought an item to use the restroom, then told it's out of service when the whole point of us buying the item was to use the restroom. No signage or reason as to why it can't be used.

Really great baked empanadas, tons of variety and filling choices, they make some delicious sauces on the side and nice selection of prepared foods like salads etc. Pricing is more than fair. Lots of vegetarian and vegan selections.
It was great but there was a loop of 30 sec the same Miley Cyrus cover for 30 minutes.

Well...Here's the deal. I had intended on eating at a restaurant around the corner that specializes in all that's pork, but when I found a place to park I was pretty much in front of the Venga Empanadas Restaurant. So I went in and picked up an Amazing lunch. Some would call it fate...but I call it Devine Intervention because the white bean soup was heavenly! I couldn't help myself to add some ham and a splash of heavy cream to it but even without my sideline interference...it was Spectacular! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

I have a soft spot for Argentinian food (and any dumpling/empanada/calzone-type food, period), and was walking by this place and couldn't resist stopping in. I ordered the Salteña Beef, Aji Gallina, and Sweet Corn empanadas and all three were delicious, though I think next time I go back I would skip the Salteña Beef and order the classic Argentine Beef instead. Salteña Beef was unique with the addition of the olives and it was still good, but I think my heart/stomach just preferred the classic. The hot sauce was delicious addition to all 3 empanadas, though they are certainly tasty on their own too.
I also couldn't resist ordering the banana and caramel pastelito for desserts, and have zero regrets. Highly recommend.
The cherry on top was that at the last minute I noticed they also serve mate! It was the perfect strength and temperature when I took it to go. I asked for light honey added to the tea and I still feel like it was too much, so I would ask for much much less honey next time.
