Lazo Empanadas Edgewater - Store #3

Girl with the glasses working there needs better people skills. She looks and acts like she's miserable. $6 for a small mediocre tasting empanada doesn't help their cause either

I bought just a bottle water with my credit card and somehow now I am receiving emails from this place

While the empanadas are tasty sometimes they sit for periods of time and are not fresh. Lazo Empanadas recently changed the portion sizes significantly and increased the cost of their food which was why I am leaving this review. It’s $6.50 for one empanada that is the size of a pierogie.

If they owners weren’t so greedy and money hungry they likely would have kept me as a customer. It’s truly unfortunate that they have done this. You can find better portions and prices at other empanadas restaurants locally in the area.

Pictures for comparison…

$16 after tip for 2 tiny little empanadas, that were pretty burnt, a teardrop of chimichurri sauce, and a can of coke. Honestly felt like a rip-off and got scammed. Plenty of nearby spots offer better value for the same price—or less.

Steak quesadillas are amazing!!!

A friend brought me empanadas at work for lunch today. They were amazing. I can't wait to actually go there in person.

I fell in love with this place immediately, the empanadas were fresh, hot, and flavorful, made me feel like I was right by the beach where I first had my first empanada. I was very impressed by their flavors and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to bring the beach side home.these were by far the the most flavorful empanadas I’ve had. They definitely made me feel like I was right back in south beach Florida enjoying them by the waves. Highly recommend! Staff was also very friendly :)

empanadas were tiny and not worth it the price. the girl with the glasses who took our order lacked politeness, which I didn't appreciate.

Empanadas were small and the lady with the square jaw did not notify me that my food was done and had me waiting for 20 minutes. Rude and unprofessional.

Nah. Bad customer service, small food portions, over priced, no flavor.

Food was okay tasting, watched the “cook” pull frozen empanadas from the freezer. Additionally the empanadas were extremely small for costing over 5 dollars. To top it all off the individual working looked like he would rather be anywhere but there and is buried in his phone instead of tending to customer. We watched our empanadas sitting hot on the other side of the rolling oven for 5 minutes before he noticed our stares and remembered that he had customers to serve. Barb wire beef was delicious on the other side of the building.

The location is fantastic, but unfortunately, I cannot recommend Lazo Empanadas. For nearly $20 (including tip), I received three tiny empanadas that were burnt around the edges, which completely ruined the flavor.

Here are three key issues to consider:

1. High price, small portion: The cost was steep for the amount of food provided.

2. Burnt empanadas: The quality was disappointing, with the burnt edges overpowering the flavor.

3. Tax-inclusive tip calculation: They calculate the tip based on the total, including tax, which is misleading because tip should be based on service and food quality, not tax.

While the location at Edgewater Public Market is great, I don’t see Lazo Empanadas measuring up to the other excellent options there. For $20, I expected much better value and quality. Sadly, I won’t be returning.

There is one taller guy with an attitude that I try to avoid every-time. It just unpleasant and I’ve asked other friends and they’ve said the same thing. Love the food. So we decided to drive to other locations 20 mins away instead. Even though this one is down the street.
