I learned about empanada express in a local Lilburn Facebook group and after reading the comments I knew I had to try and I’m sure glad that I did! These empanadas are so flavorful and it’s not your usual seasonings that you would expect. Hard to explain… you just have to try them. We got a variety of empanadas and on our second visit we grabbed some banana pudding! BombParking: Free parking

Great food, great price, great service. The absolute definition of a hidden gem. I would come here everyday if I could.
These are the BEST empanadas that I have ever had! I always get the spicy beef and spanich along with the kale salad, but all of them are delicious. The establishment is clean and the service is friendly. You can call in your order and give them a time you want to pickup. Give them a try, you will be disappointed.

Food is good but customer service is awful. I will not be spending my money here again I don’t care what the food tastes like. Restaurant is by my school and I live 2 hours away. I bought extra food to take home bc I keep a cooler in my car. When I ordered the food I didn’t even look at it. I stuck in strait in my cooler. Tht night when I got home I seen they put an extra banana pudding in and I thought oh tht was nice. Over a week later I go back in and the lady wants to ad the banana pudding to my current order. Say what? I didn’t pack my food, you did. I don’t think I should have to pay for your mistake. Now if u would have asked if I minded paying for it. I would have happily paid but to force me to pay with my current order without even an apology like I purposely stole it. Naw.. I walked out and didn’t buy nothing and won’t be back. I don’t care if it’s a few bucks. Who does tht? I didn’t walk in and purposely steal it you guys packed it. You guys should checked the receipt as u packed it to make sure u didn’t give extra food or miss giving food. Good luck to guys but u want see a penny more of my money and i definitely won’t be referring yall to any1 else. All over a $3 banana pudding.

Love this place! Everything tastes incredible & the options are wonderful. The spinach empanadas are my personal favorite but my family loves the cheese, beef & cheese, spicy chicken, and corn varieties. I call in and order whatever I need & pick up freshly made empanadas - absolutely wonderful!!!

Delicious empanadas with a minimalistic atmosphere. Would recommend.
The best empanadas I’ve had! I ordered the spicy beef, spicy chicken and regular chicken. Not only was the food delicious, it was FRESH. The owner was the sweetest and expressed her appreciation for my business. Definitely recommend.

I wanted to like this place but the owner working there had a bad attitude as soon as I walked in. All I did was ask a couple questions about the empanadas because it was my first time going there and she was so abrupt, curt and rude and actually told me to go somewhere else. I was mortified and tried to reason with her that’s not how you talk to customers especially since it was my first time. I ordered one empanada to see if I liked it and all I did was ask about the red die on the empanada and she immediately became offended and ordered me to leave. How dare I be treated that way? I’m still in disbelief as I wrote this. Then she had to nerve to add God into the conversation and said “God is watching you” like I did something wrong. What !!? This place needs a lesson in customer service. The empanadas are actually tasty but the tone of the owner/worker was foul and I will not ever return. Buyer beware.

Customer service was excellent and so was the food! The cashier was very nice and friendly. I ordered 4 kinds of empanadas (spicy chicken, spicy beef, regular chicken, and regular beef). All of them were so good! The crust was flaky and they were hot and fresh. I enjoyed them so much that I went back and got more.
Oh my goodness this place did not disappoint! The best empanada I've EVER had! Not even finished with my food yet but stopped to write this. Amazing food!!

Went to Empanada Express for a quick lunch today with my son and we LOVED everything we had. I got the a spinach and a spicy chicken empanada and the kale salad and my son had two chicken empanadas and the banana pudding. Everything was delicious! ? I also preordered some apple and Nutella empanadas for dessert to pick up later on today after running our errands for the day. 20/10.
