The Empanada Company

No good mess up my order

I had the picadillo empanada as well as the sweet potato empanada. One of the things that I love is that the empanadas are baked. One of the things that I don’t love is that they close at 3:00 pm - I love to have an easy dinner sometimes and empanadas are a great go to. I will end up trying their breakfasts and noticed that they have a great variety for breakfast and lunch and their menu includes other things like tortas instead of only empanadas. I definitely recommend.

Too bad they never have cheese. I asked how long it took and they told me that 4 hours is supposed to be a fast food so you shouldn't wait that long.

We stopped by The Empanada Company off TC Jester and had a great experience! The empanadas were amazing, we tried the mole and cajeta ones, and they were absolutely delicious. We also tried the Torta Cubana. It was freshly made and tasty, but for my personal preference, it had a bit too much sausage. We mentioned it to the lady at the counter, and she was so helpful and understanding. She let us know that next time we can customize the torta or remove anything we don’t want, which was great to hear.
The service overall was excellent! The lady at the counter was very friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us tons of suggestions since it had been about three years ago since our last visit, and things had changed. It’s always nice when staff go the extra mile to make your experience better.
If you’re in the mood for some delicious, freshly made empanadas, I definitely recommend this place. We won’t wait that long, definitely we’ll be coming back really soon for sure!

I drove all the way from Magnolia for these empanadas only to be disappointed. I was looking forward to the guava with cream cheese empanadas.

Food is delicious however, every time I order the guava w/cream cheese empanadas I get charged 40 cents extra per empanada and never get the correct order. It’s frustrating to pay extra for something and not get what I order!

I ordered a variety of empanadas and pastries for a late breakfast online, and I was initially unsure if they'd remain flaky after delivery. To my delight, they arrived perfectly flaky and warm. I tried the shredded beef, brisket, picadillo, and chicken tinga empanadas, along with beef and chicken pastries. Each one had a distinct and delicious flavor, and we enjoyed every bite. I also appreciated that the restaurant staff labeled each item individually, making it easy to identify. The quality exceeded my expectations, and I'll definitely be ordering from here again. Highly recommend!

I remember the food of my country Venezuela. Thanks.
Only without Onion Sauce jejeje

The lady at the cointer was not helpful. They didn't have half of their menu and the food was just not that great.

Pretty good stuff

Everything was cold. I ordered a hot dog and an apple empanada. I had to wait for the hot dog, and it was cold, and the bread was hard as a rock. I was very disappointed.
