This review is for the shrimp and crab cheese empanada. I've had the steak and cheese which is good, but really go for the shrimp and crab cheese. When I first had Tio G's empanada ( October 2023) it was out of this world, HUGE lumps of crab meat, well seasoned shrimp flakey crust. I went back a week later and bought four more, amazing still. I just recently moved to the Inner Harbor and could not wait to go to Tio G's to pick up my empanadas. They had a three for $25 special. Oh the disappointment when I bit into it. The shrimp was over seasoned and mushy and the crab meat was almost non-existent. A complete 360 from the last visit.

From the first time I had Tio G’s Empanadas, I was hooked! I go to Lexington Market every Saturday And stopping to pick up eight empanadas for the week is mandatory. The dough is flaky, and the empanada is filled with your choice of beef Cheese, Chicken or crab with shrimp there are two different types of sauces, but the orange dipping sauce is my favorite. I cannot in this review without saying that the customer service is amazing! If you are in the Baltimore area, stop by Tio G’s in Lexington Market.

I visited this place when I was on vacation for new years. The flavor of the empanadas are unmatched. We drove 2 hrs to go back and get more. These are the only empanadas I will eat from now

All of the empanadas are FIRE ? (as in good) even the veggie one was delicious and I’m a huge meat eater. The flavors make them some of the best I’ve ever had! We got some extras to go and Jay informed me to reheat them in the air fryer and they’re just as good as fresh made, seriously ! The staff is also so welcoming, kind, and helpful with making decisions right for you and your hunger. I hope they open up more locations in the DMV, they definitely need one in VA.

THE BEST EMPANADAS I’VE EVER HAD!I drive from Virginia to get these!I stumbled upon them when the new Lexington Market opened up and every time I’ve gone I’m greeted with a smile and an update on new menu items to try. My new favorite menu item are their Dominican Bowls which come with your choice of oven baked chicken or pernil (pulled pork). The pernil is the best pernil I’ve tasted in the DMV. They always keep me coming back for more.Hands down best empanadas and Dominican food in Baltimore! You won’t regret it!
