I stopped here at almost closing time on Saturday to bick up a few empanadas for a BBQ i was going to. I did not rrealize that they closed at 4:00. All was good because I was able to buy the last of several choices that I wanted. The quality and freshness were great. I was very pleased with my order and will consider returning again.

I love a good empanada and have a spot down near Westchase that I like. Hoping to find it closer to where I am now, I checked out the Empanada Company. I had read other reviews and had decided on the beef pastry before arriving, but I went at breakfast time and saw that the Empanada Brava is a mix of all their breakfast offerings, so I got both. $3.89 and $2.29, respectively. The cashier was friendly, and that's always appreciated! As for the goods themselves - - I liked the flavor of the Beef Pastry - I just wished there was more of it. - The Empanada Brava didn't meet my hopes for the dough. I really like very-doughy crust. As for its flavor, it's complex? no, just complicated? Maybe that's a given since it's literally a hodgepodge of all the other breakfast empanadas. I was tempted to try the dessert empanadas but restrained myself, so I can't comment on those. I am sure they are good. Overall I'd give the Empanada Company a solid 4 for the food and service. A nice handmade breakfast option that's healthier than doughnuts :)

Passed by and saw this place and thought I would try it. It was ok. Only OK. I have had better empanadas . The food lacked flavour and was not that great.

Small little strip center restaurant with limited seating but it wasn't busy on a Thursday lunch hour. It's easy to order since they have everything already made in warmers. Pictures and explanations on the menu. They are mostly empanadas but they have a handful of miscellaneous like tortas, hot dogs. I had the mole, picadillo(beef with papa) and the egg with ham. I'd def go back and try different ones. My favorite was the mole. Lots of flavor. The dough/bread itself is thin but not flaky or dry. I felt it was a good amount of stuffing. The three for lunch were almost too much. Two would've done the job but couldn't resist. They also have dessert ones I'd like to try. Service was excellent, they were patient and kind.

Last month, I had the pleasure of ordering food at The Empanada Company in Houston, TX. I had been wanting to try this place for a while, and I was excited to finally get the chance.I was immediately impressed by the atmosphere of the restaurant. It was warm and inviting, with a bright and airy feel. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming.I decided to order the beef and chicken pastry as take outs. When I got home and tried them, I was overall pleased with the taste. The pastry was flaky and buttery, and the fillings were flavorful.The beef pastry was especially good. The beef was tender and juicy, and it was seasoned perfectly. The chicken pastry was also good, but it was a bit dry.Overall, I had a decent experience at The Empanada Company. The atmosphere and service were great, and the beef pastry was excellent. The chicken pastry was a bit dry, but it was still enjoyable.I would recommend The Empanada Company to anyone looking for a delicious and convenient meal. The restaurant offers a wide variety of empanadas, both sweet and savory, so there is something for everyone. The staff is also very friendly and helpful, and they are always happy to make recommendations.

We got 4 different empanadas: chicken, ground beef and veggies, shredded beef and veggies, spinach. The pastry part itself was nice but the fillings I wasn't a fan of. The guava and cheese was really nice. I'll be back for the sweet ones.

The empanadas and the tortas are amazing here. They remind me of the ones from CDMX. Must go

Stopped in this afternoon around closing time and was greeted extremely kindly by the owner; ordered an assortment of savory (tinga, brisket) and sweet (cajeta/caramel)! Delicious empanadas and wonderful service. Can’t wait to return!
Absolutely delicious! I’ve been coming here for almost a year now and it’s never disappointed me! The fillings are delicious and the empanadas themselves are just divine. My favorite is the chicken tinga and I highly recommend it. Other good options are the huevos a la mexicana and holy mole. I will definitely keep coming and i definitely recommend trying this place out if you want some top notch empanadas!

Omg!!! First time here and this little gem is about a mile from home...I finally decided to try this little place out! Super cute little cafe and set up inside. Super clean and bright in there! Delilah was incredibly helpful and sweet... I told her it was my first time and she was incredibly helpful with a smile! I don't know want the traffic is like in there during breakfast or lunch since I went at 230pm. The empanadas! The empanada is soft and yummy. I had the chicken tinga and picadillo! They were tasty!!! I brought others home and I'll update on those. Try it out... even if you just get one...

Beef was extremely dry. Baked empanadas is not as good as fried. Don’t recommend this place.
