The Empananda's Box was homey, delicious and the staff was absolutely lovely! We tried 5 different empanadas (Bordeaux, New England, Philly, Rueben and Capri) and each one was a little savory, flakey doughed pocket of happiness. We enjoyed everything so much we ordered 12 more to go 😊 Go ahead and sign up for their rewards program, you'll definitely be back! 10/10
Greta food, great service, and some great specials! Updated from previous review on 2024-12-08
Great food but, wish you had the Cincy Chili all the time. I’m surprised it’s not popular enough to keep regularly.
Love this place. The staff is always great and the food is amazing.

Philly, Lebanon, Bordeaux and apple empanadas were fantastic.
Such care goes into each meal I have had from Empanadas box. You can tell the passion that is had for this business from incredible food to such kindness from the employees.
I don’t think I’ve ever done a google review but I had to for this place, I have been a number of times and it’s worth it EVERY time!!! The staff is friendly and helpful and the restaurant is small but clean and aesthetically pleasing. My favorite is the New England, I am from the south and it tastes just like a chicken pot pie!! It’s amazing!! Honorable mentions are their Korean BBQ and Texas BBQ flavors of the month, wish they were permanent! The salsa for the chips, chimichurri, and esquite are all AMAZING. Overall can’t go wrong with this place.

I was stopped over the bridge on a train and asked an employee if he could toss some empanadas up for my engineer and I as a joke. He did! Everyone who works there are good people and are genuinely happy every time I go there. They're authentic people with a contemporary spin on empanadas ready to go the extra mile. Not because they're obligated, but because they enjoy what they do! There's a diverse piece of perfection no matter what taste in food you have.

The Empanada Box offers two ways to love their empanadas. They have frozen empanadas to enjoy in your own home. They also offer them hot and wonderful to enjoy on site or as takeout.They have a wide variety of flavors; I bought a variety box of 12. One of my favorites is the Singapore.
Dietary restrictions: Staff will help you with any restictions. All the empanadas are labeled but I found staff very knowledgeable when I had questions
Kid-friendliness: I saw several kids enjoying the empanadas and the staff was very friendly to the families.

Amazing. We buy 12 empanadas every week, this week we are buying even more. They are great for a quick dinner or lunch. My husband will just microwave them at work when he is in a pinch, while I prefer to bake them at home per their instructions. Imagine being able to accommodate multiple people's picky preferences and dietary restrictions by popping different empanadas into the oven. There are multiple kid-friendly flavors, including Parma which is ham and cheese, and New England, which is chicken pot pie. The dessert flavors are also amazing. Additionally, my husband is Brazilian, and says the chimichurri is an authentic Argentina recipe. Every time we have steak, he insists on having the Empanada's Box chimichurri to go along with
