Rico’s Empanadas

These empanadas tasted fine, nothing special. Maybe for people who haven't had many empanadas, they are amazing? Coffee was good but I didn't get asked if I wanted Coffee Mate and it had it. Plus, I ordered a ham and cheese empanada and got a beef one instead. The guy seemed too stressed so I just ate it, confused.

you won't wanna leave.. it's a jam 🎶 the empanadas are delicious (with the chimichurri‼️👍🏼🤤😋) and Rico is a hoot 😆

If you go to Venice, these are a must try. They are so delicious. I got one chicken and one beef and both were amazing, although I did like the beef one a bit more. They are full of flavor and Rico has a guarantee that if you don't like them, you don't pay. They are a bit pricey , but so are most places in Venice Beach for low quality/basic food so this is an outlier. Overall definitely recommend the empanadas.

Omg. We had these our last day in Venice. I wish we'd had them every day!!! They are crispy, flaky, and tender - the fillings (we got chicken and beef) we're soooo delicious - perfectly spiced, a little heat - the sauce was killer... We live in Maine and I'm literally dream of these things... seriously thinking about a return trip just to try the rest of the flavors. Rico, you are a master of your craft! Wish you shipped cross country!!!

Rico was SOOOO sweet and his empenada's are the best I've EVER had! His grandma's chimichuri is definitely what makes his stand worth stopping at. Hit him up! You will not be disappointed. Thanks for the Pic, Rico!
