Always fresh
Amazing empanadas. A bit small. Service is very slow.
It's a takeout empanada spot and boy do they have many choices, I've noticed a lot of customers ordering cheeseburger empanadas I tried it dude it was banging.
There is a lot of varieties to choose from, and we personally liked the corn empanadas more than the wheat ones, though it seems like there are more flavors available for wheat empanadas. We would suggest cheese-based fillings or a filling with more moisture. There are a few let-downs: yucca fries had a thick breading and very little yucca inside (they are not thick-cuts of cassava: just mashed yucca) . The breading soaked up a lot of oil that made them less tasty even with the presence of the well-raved green sauce. We ended our meals with the fries, and they significantly dragged down the overall review. As for the biagra: we would love to have real crab meat instead of imitation crab, even with a price premium.
Let me tell you if you have a love for Empanadas this is the place 😘
I ordered some food and it was terrible. The chicharon has very bad smell and it seems not fresh meat. When I cut it for kids, it was not fully cooked and bloody. Not safety for eating at all.
Everytime I go there its the same energy , same service and same food , Empanadas be Bussin
Went to pick up an order through UberEats pickup and told the guy on register that I'm picking up. I tell him my name and he says "can I see your order" and I say yea sure and as I'm pulling it up and telling him my order he cuts me off and asks if it's the one he's pointing at. And I said yes that's my order and he then says "well I'm checking since you didn't want to show me your order". Like excuse me? I was literally pulling it up and YOU cut me off meanwhile you had the tablet in front of you this whole time??? And I even told him what was inside the order. There was no reason for the guy to be a prick and that's just the first issue. The second is that he told me I have to wait ANOTHER 13 minutes for my order on top of the 30 I've been waiting already. So you're telling me it takes 40 minutes to make 4 empanadas AND a chorizo?? Not even empanada places in corona take 40 minutes and I'm sure they're at least 3x busier than this place. Probably my last order from them since they want to be miserable pricks to their customers. Maybe they should ask for advice from the Starbucks next door on how to be better in customer service because at least they treat you like a person over there. Mediocre food, mediocre service.

Excellent empanadas. Highly recommend.
I ordered 6 empanadas. costs about $18.00, fair price for a great lunch. Green sauce & pink sauce are fantastic. I suggest to pay $1.00 more for 4x extra sauces, it is worth it.
about a 10 minute wait, which is fine.
note: food is "to go" only.

I came here for the first time because my friend recommended me this place for the empanadas. We ordered 5 empanadas de trigo de Pollo y uno de carne. The empanadas were filled with chicken and I got to say.. it's the time that an empanada was filled with meat! It was great but I just felt that it was missing that "hit" of seasoning. My other friend who is also his first time here preferred the beef over the chicken because it was missing the seasoning. Other than that, it was a good service, the workers were very nice and the place was clean.

Not so impressed. This place is not horrible, but not great either. I bought fries from here before. They were thick and nicely fried, but they were flavorless. Also, they have no more indoor searing, which is horrible for business, and I have no idea why they do that. The fries took 13+ minutes (kind of unreasonable from past experience). Not the best place i’ve ever been to. I would probably not go again.

The worst customer service I’ve ever had in my life! I’m so disgusted by this place. So today I go ordering 8 empanadas and a drink the lady says what sauce do you wand I said how many can I get, she says 4 I’m like but I’m ordering 8 empandas she says if you want more sauce you need to buy them for 25 cents each. I’m like how about if I come in and buy 1 each and she says are we going to argue about it or do you want them then as I’m talking to the lady two men approach me that work there and starts responding when I didn’t know who they were so I tell him I’m buying 8 empanadas why do I get only 4 sauces another bold headed man with a beard tells me will know who you are if you buy empanadas and send someone eles for more sauce. I was like what I was so in shock by his unprofessional response, so I ask Who are you he answers your mother! I felt so harassed by these two males!!! I will never step foot into this location ever. The bold man with a beard continued to harass me as I was walking out the door. I actually felt afraid for my life. These are money hungry people and know nothing about customers service. So sad people like this are running businesses in your neighborhood.
i ordered on uber eats. got beans empanadas and rice and the beans when i opened them were bubbling and smelled like throw up. it was sour. i think it was old or something but it made me sick and it was just gross. i wouldn’t order anything from here again.
