“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.“

“I made a large catering order for my crew to have empanadas after work. They were a HUGE hit. My crew could not believe how good they were. They were packaged amazing, everything was labeled nicely and every one we had was amazing. Don't sleep on the dessert options. They were amazing!“

“🎉Happy Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽🇲🇽😋😋“

“Lazo Empanadas is on a whole different level! The flavors are incredible you can taste the freshness and quality in every bite. The dough is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the fillings are packed with real, authentic Latino sabor. You can tell they put love and pride into their food. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the place has a great vibe. If you haven’t tried Lazo Empanadas yet, you’re missing out this is a must-try spot! Highly recommended 👏🔥“

“Absolutely amazing! The prices were reasonable, and the burger and empanada were EXACTLY what I had been looking for. The empanada could have been slightly better, as it was clear from the sogginess on the bottom it had been sitting in the display for a while, but the flavores completely made up for it. The burger was extremely well spiced, super salty and delicious! Would highly recommend!“

“The food tastes Great! What else is there to say :-)“

“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.“

“Found this place because it’s close to my boyfriend’s new job, and I am so glad to have discovered it! The dirty chai is one of the best I’ve found, and it’s clean and seems to be relatively quiet during the week. Free WiFi and lots of outlets to charge a phone or laptop, and outdoor seating is delightful.“

“Each empanada is a flavor explosion! On the area for a kid sports event and needed something for the family. They had something for every palette! Looking forward to returning for the gluten free empanadas as well. 2-3 for adult is plenty. 1-2 for kiddos. The desert ones were fantastic. Don’t waste another minute reading reviews, get down and pick up some of the best empanadas I’ve ever had!“

“This is a sweet little spot just off of Tennyson with amazing Venezuelan arepas and empanadas!! Please support this local biz, with an incredibly friendly staff, quick service, and delicious menu full of special eats. It’s been a long time since I had tequeños and I could not be more pleased they are back in my rotation!“
