I've had several variants of empanadas throughout my life, but the ones dished out by Pachanga Empanadas are in another league. For one, their doughy shells are thinner than others I've had. This means that there's more room for filling. For another, their empanadas are palm-sized which is great because it means you can have more in one sitting, but it also means you'll want to eat several to feel satisfied because they are so addicting. What makes Pachanga Empanadas special is that they make each one to order! There's a bit of a wait, but I promise you it will be so worth it. My favorite filling is the sabrosa - nothing beats the combination of caramelized onions and cheese, but many of their others are great too. Each time we've been, we order just a few at a time, thinking that we'd share each flavor, but we always regret not ordering more. I'm warning you now - these empanadas disappear quickly. Their sauces are excellent too. Stop into this mom-and-pop for a taste of Argentina!

Pros -Freshly made empanadas , a plus. -Chimivuhuri sauce was excellent . -Overall the speed of order to pickup was super fast. -Street parking is easy -Hostess , kind and helpful -Great variety , when u find a kind you like , BINGO! Cons -Pricey for the size, at 3 or 4 dollars each, would have liked to see a larger offering! -The onion and cheese filled one had a strong blue cheese taste, that I personally did not care for. I would suggest they add the blended cheeses to their menu. I would not have opted for it if I had known.

This is a must stop, the empanadas are excellent. So unique, flavorful and fresh. I ordered Espinaca, Picante and Sabrosa - each one so different and too hard to say which one is "the best" - all delicious. The herb aioli side sauce was excellent as well. Whether you want a full meal or a fun side or app, this is a great option.

I had an empanada emergency tonight. On short notice, I was able to find Pachanga. The owner and her daughter were lovely; they made my first time picking up food fun and easy. The end result was an amazing order of empanadas my daughter and I devoured, and a new spot in town we will continue to enjoy. Highly recommend for both the creative and delicious menu, and the refreshing customer service!

Highly recommend!! Empanadas are delicious and unique. This is my sixth time and it just keeps getting better and better, can’t get enough :) Ingredients are clean and super filling! Cozy chill vibe inside, perfect for any occasion! Come stop by!

These guys deserve the full 5 stars. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. Super easy to order on the phone for pick up as well.Now on to the food. AWESOME!! Great flavor in the empanadas themselves and their sauces are fantastic. Locoto is the way to go, for me. One major component to all of the awesomeness is the fact you actually receive the food you're shown on the menus. It looks identical to the food on the menu, which is a good thing!!! Thoroughly enjoyed their food and will be returning.

Always amazing. An absolute gem to have in the neighborhood. But if you don’t live close, definitely still worth the stop.

This place isn't just great food, its hand crafted art. Be prepared to get a truly unique and flavorful experience in every bite.

Highly recommended for something fun, delicious and topped with a great customer experience.

Finger licking good empanadas! I got a Chef's Choice dozen and enjoy every single one. My favorite one ? all of them.
Denny and his staff are outstanding. They covered our group perfectly. I cant say thank you enough for a great time. This is the place to go.

They have awesome dessert and soups/salads. Definitely a winner if you need to stop by and have a delicious bite.

Another great example of a small park road restarting that is pinching above it’s weight. The owner is delightful and the food is delicious. If you haven’t been you’re missing out.

Big fan of the place. Look forward to the empanafas every week. The yuca fries are amazing and when they run out, the French fries are the way to go. Prior to the pandemic was a cute place to go out for some good food. Now I just stop every week for take out, it has become a bit of a ritual.
