“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.“

“Hands down the best empanadas I have had in the United States. Having grown up in Argentina, I am constantly craving authentic, traditional empanadas, and this place completely hits the mark. Both the fillings and the dough are absolute perfection.

I ordered the carne and the ham & cheese. The crust is extraordinary—light, delicate, and flaky like high-quality pastry, without any of the heavy, dense doughiness you often find elsewhere.

A quick heads up: they bake them fresh to order as soon as you place it, so don't expect them to be handed to you instantly. It takes a few minutes, but having them piping hot fresh out of the oven makes all the difference.

I initially assumed two would be enough to fill me up, but they were so good I immediately went back to order two more! The chimichurri on the side was the perfect pairing. I am already craving another batch and will definitely be back regularly.“

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