“Perfect snack/coffee stop at Denver Airport! Great service and amazing empanadas!“

“My wife and I have stopped by twice in the past two days. We shared a spicy beef yesterday and today we had a mushroom. Probably the best empanadas we’ve ever had and we’ve had a few. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely be coming back more.“

“This is the ABSOLUTE BEST EMPENADAS in all of denver
Adrian is the chef and he is the guy that makes the best ingredients for these empenadas
Don't go anywhere else they are bigger than Lazos and Maria's and cost less..
Go see them on south Santa Fe and try their incredible food“

“I don’t say this lightly, but I think I’ve been emotionally altered by a piece of pastry.

My work ordered from Lazo Empanadas one random day months ago, and I genuinely have not been the same since. What I thought was going to be a “quick lunch” situation turned into a full-blown obsession that I was not prepared to manage. These empanadas are on my weekly calendar at least once a week.

Let’s talk about the spicy beef empanada, because that thing is borderline dangerous. The seasoning? Insanely bold. The heat? Perfectly balanced—not trying to destroy you, just convincing you that you need another one immediately. The filling is rich, juicy, and so well-composed it feels unfair to other lunch options that are just… existing in its presence.

The crust deserves its own paragraph. Golden, flaky, crisp without being dry, and sturdy enough to hold the filling without betraying you halfway through a bite. It’s basically the structural engineering marvel of handheld food.

What really gets me is how something so simple can taste so intentional. Nothing feels lazy. Nothing feels “mass-produced cafeteria snack.” It tastes like someone actually cares about your day getting better.

I’ve tried other empanadas since then and honestly? They’ve all been compared against Lazo and lost immediately. That spicy beef set the bar and then took the bar home with it.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “it’s just an empanada,” respectfully—you are not ready.“

“Muy delicioso! You have to try these amazing fresh empanadas. We had steak, spicy beef and spicy chicken with chimichuri. The service is on point. There is indoor or outdoor seating. A very quaint and quite little place. The ambiance is energetic, invigorating, lively but quiet but full of life and peace. Thank you so much for your hospitality.“

“We had the pork belly bao, octopus balls, and pho. Everything was delicious! Best Asian food in the neighborhood! 5 stars!!“

“🎉Happy Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽🇲🇽😋😋“
