Customer Reviews
Stopped by running errands and grabbed 3 different empanadas to try. And they all were delicious! I had the Cheeseburger, Spinach and Cheese, and the El Toro. I really enjoyed the El toro is has carrot and I believe plantain. Also the red hot sauce has a great kick and the green salsa verde was incredible I wonder if they sell it by the bottle. It’s that good. The spinach and cheese was really good too super cheese with that good cheese pull and all had that amazing crunch when biting into it. Also loved how they came in their own labeled baggy so I can tell which was what. Would certainly try it again
I love this place! I just had a delicious oxtail soup that was perfect for the cold weather and soothed my aching throat like my mom’s used to! I tried their empanadas and they are really good as well. The staff is super friendly, the place is small but clean and welcoming.
More of a takeout spot. They have some sits but it’s not a big place. Empanadas are really good. The flour cheese empanadas is my favorite cause it reminds me of tequenos in my hometown. The meat empanada in corn masa is also very good and they have a sauce that goes really well with it.
I’d always give Mama Empanadas a 5. First time I tried their empanadas, they didn’t let me down! There are so much flavors to choose and try. You won’t regret. I love how fresh their empanadas are and how crispy the dough! Can’t get enough! My favorites are Bourbon Chicken, viagra and Hawaiian and spinach and cheese. All Best with green sauce! Perfect combination!
Idk, Empanada Mama is great no matter the location. This is a cute little spot just to get in and out. Love this idea. And El Jefe was amazing…as usual!!! The cherry lemonade was so damn good couldn’t even be bothered to take a pic of it!
