My first time trying empanadas and they were amazing! Make sure to try the chicken and beef ones. And not to mention the churros were fantastic. 10/10 highly recommend! You won’t regret it 🤩

Tasty Empanadas came to my kids' school trunk-or-treat and proceeded to sell me the best empanadas I've had in years! I got six and ended up going back for six more. The desserts are fantastic too!

Best empanadas I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of empanadas in my time. Believe it or not, the spinach is the best (try it yourself if you don’t believe me). Take a chance and you won’t regret it.

Yeah these are def one of the best Empanadas I've ever had. I got two beef and once chicken. It's hard to say which one of them were my favorite. The sauce it comes with is fantastic as well! Also the owner is super sweet!

Much like its name, the brilliance of the food at Tasty Empanadas is in its simplicity. They serve empanadas (and churros!) and they do it better than anyone. They have no set out to reinvent a classic, or put a modern spin on the humble empanada; no, their mission, seemingly, has been to pour all that creative energy into perfecting their craft.
For context: I was born and raised in Cuba, I lived in Venezuela for a while, and I lived in Miami for 25 years; I have been eating empanadas my whole life, and these are the best I have ever had, no context.
The flavors are astounding, the chicken is my personal favorite with apple as a close second. The technique is flawless, these empanadas are crunchy on the outside, fried to perfection, yet not oily at all. While the cooking is perfect, the stuffing is equally impressive. I don’t know how she does it, but these are stuffed to impossible levels, there is not a cubic millimeter of air in these and the flavor is phenomenal.
Don’t get me started on the churros, delicious, fresh, a perfect balance of sugar and cinnamon; combined with the Dulce de Leche sauce (which you also get with the apple empanadas) the dessert offerings are an equal triumph.
We catered party last week with these, I must have had easily a dozen, and I am ready for more!
The quality of gastronomy in Howard County is inarguably impressive, from fancy restaurants to food trucks there’s something for everyone here, and you can absolutely count Tasty Empanadas among our brightest stars!

Delicious empanadas and churros. Good vegetarian options. Top 2 churros in Columbia for sure.

This is some of the best food I’ve ever had. The chicken and beef empanadas are absolutely off the hook! Please come back to Redland court!

This address is inaccurate. They are a food truck now.
Called in for an order because of the images on the website and was told it'd be ready in 5 mins. Arrived around 7 mins. Don't be fooled they were three times smaller than on the website. Which should be updated for false advertising. At least at this location. The beef empanada seemed like it was left out for hours and just snagged from the display case from the unsold ones from the morning. Gosh, it was horrible just remembering struggling to eat it and pouring the already chilled jalapenos salsa on top but I was hungry hungry. Only one that was decently fresh was the mushroom that was good which is why for the 2 star. The spinach one was okay but still tasted as if it was left out for a few hours as well. Maybe I went on a wrong day but the deal they had going for 3 empanadas for $15, I feel robbed. Wouldn't recommend.

When I approached the counter to look at the menu, I immediately felt welcomed ! It was like I was greeted into their home! They had a special Sweet Potato empanada which was savory with red bell peppers. The pepper enhanced the sweet potato flavor to another level yet didn’t overpower it! My tastebuds danced! Loved it! Will be back!!!

Really delicious and authentic empanadas! The vegetarian options like mushroom and spinach are so good. I love the fresh house made salsa that comes with each order. The special apple caramel dessert empanada is a must try!!
