About 5411 Empanadas | Evanston

5411 Empanadas is a small, clean, and cute shop offering around 10 different empanada options, including spinach and cheese, BBQ chicken, Malbec beef, and impossible meat varieties. Despite being busy, the staff remain polite and professional, serving up flavorful empanadas with solid sauce like chimichurri and hot sauce. The owner is friendly, and though the empanadas are small and can be pricey, they're well worth the wait. The dough is in the right balance, with a crisp and pinched border that tastes almost like a water cracker. Each pocket is embossed with a two-letter code so you know which filling is inside. There’s a bench with 3 small round tables to eat in, but the place is very small. The current "Twosdays" promo offers great deals, and the empanadas are served hot, perfect for carryout.
