I used to eat here a lot and then I moved from New Orleans to Latin America and now I can officially confirm- Empanola has the authentic empanada flavors mastered. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious. I had the pepperoni pizza and the chorizo empanadas. The cilantro lime sauce pairs perfect with both.We had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners. Phenomenal customer service. I highly recommend stopping in!

I had a great experience with the two foods I got, but my friend got the bananas foster and when she bit into it, it was full of apples, cinnamon, and pecans. We told the lady working that it must have been labeled wrong, but she said no that’s just what bananas foster is. They were also selling apple pecan empanadas, so we know it got accidentally labeled. My friend is allergic to cinnamon, and now is having to receive treatment for her swelled tongue. Mistakes happen, but they should have owned up to their mistakes. Disappointed.

Loved this place! Great food, welcoming staff and nice atmosphere.. Empanadas are absolutely delicious.. honestly best thing I had to eat while in New Orleans! Tres leches cake also fabulous and they have great happy hour prices on drinks!

Absolutely great empanadas in the garden district. We’ve been many places and always find an empanadas place- this is tops! I don’t have a mom or grandma that makes them so I say that in that context- but really outstanding. So good we came back twice! Staff was all very friendly and the place is spotless. A jug of ice cold water awaits you on the counter or you can purchase a beer or bottles beverage to wash down this fantastic food. 5 stars!

Both the staff and the food are amazing. Definitely one of my favorite places to go to in the city.
These are INCREDIBLE and I love going back! Adriana was so great and took care of me today so kindly!

This place is absolutely amazing!! We got several empanadas to try. Such a cool find. The staff was friendly and it had a cool New Orleans vibe but different. You can sit and enjoy the views of magazine street and the spinach and artichoke empanadas will make you lick the plate. Hands down awesome

Hits the spot for a simple but flavorful lunch spot. I recommend Empanola to a Green Wave and LSU students
