Can’t ask for a better deal or a more right-sized snack for an airport. Spicy beef was spiced for flavor as described. Coldbrew was good too.

Made a mistake on my order not once but twice! I was able to catch the first mistake but was already on the plane for the second one. Just make sure you have what you payed for.

The empanadas were fresh, and the service was speedy. Try the spicy chicken!

Pretty easy and portable. The beef is the way to go. They are not made to order or a pipping hot situation; this reflects the lack of a higher rating. The employees are efficient and kind.

A bit pricey and lacking in flavor. I ordered the beef empanada and found it rather bland, though I did appreciate that it was well-stuffed and served hot. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t come back.

I ordered the spinach empanada and the cheese empanada and it tasted pretty good. The spinach one was my favorite, it was flavorful and cheesy. Edwind, who rang me up, was very friendly, the customer service was pretty good

Just go elsewhere unless you want to make a donation to the business owners. Food is average not excellent, nor worth nearly $7 plus tax per empanada, which is totally ridiculous! IMHO, a single person takeout meal of 3 empanadas shouldn’t cost nearly $25 incl. tax. You could almost eat at Elway’s for that price. Ha!
We tried spicy beef, spicy chicken, and three cheese. Dough was simple, tasted okay but not crisp as they should be, nor particularly flavorful. Filings were no better than food service quality. Spicy had a small kick but not so spicy, maybe 4-5/10 in our books.
For reference, I’ve had lots of empanadas in Denver, Argentina, and other locales. On pricing, I am not complaining about inflation. I pay for good food; it’s the value that counts and value is poor here.
It is cute they brand them with the flavor name.

You should take pride of what you serve. I had to catch my flight, so I could not really look what was in my bag until I reached my gate. Very poor tasting, soggy and flat. I would not recommend anyone to stop here.
Great Argentinian empanadas.
Surprised to get these at the Denver Airport.
Excellent customer service from Edwind.
Highly recommend to get them.
We had them on a trip before and even stopped at the terminal to buy more on the way out of there even though we didn’t land in that terminal.
Will be stopping by again

I had the pleasure of being helped by Nidia at Half Moon on Thursday morning, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. She provided excellent service and welcomed every customer with genuine warmth and kindness. She recommended the empanadas, which were absolutely delicious. I even ended up taking extra ones home for my family in Ohio! Thanks to her great attitude and helpful suggestions, I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

This is a great option for people on layovers or who otherwise need food they can eat on the go. The empanadas aren't too messy, so you can take them with you on a plane or shuttle—or easily eat them wherever you can find a place to sit (with or without a table).
One thing that might improve the convenience for travelers is the option to have each empanada in a paper sleeve of some sort. It can be tricky eating them out of the bag if you're concerned about how (un)clean your hands are from being in an airport.

I had the classic beef and the three cheese, both piping hot and delicious. The three cheese was better IMO, stretchy and flavorful with tomatoes added. Good choice on the go.
