This is the "SPOT"... The Empanada Spot! Spot on empanadas, made to order fresh! Lots of flavors here ( see pic's), you'll know right away these empanadas are prepared by a well established chef with many years of experience! Inside this sparking clean little shop, it might be small, but in a tremendous way it has a very friendly and helpful staff turning out the best crispy, tasty empanadas around. They are nicely filled up too with all the goodness we love stuffed inside! Such a good Spot...

I’ve been craving corn shredded beef & potato empanadas for years! I always avoided going to Mama’s Empanadas because of the traffic and impossible parking, and after trying so many nearby spots, none ever had tasted quite right. I’m so glad I gave this place a try! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Honestly, it’s even better than Mama’s! Definitely my new go to spot!!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Tony Aguirre · Dec 2025

Great spot with an awesome staff, they have a huge selection of Empanadas, even "Desert Empanadas". They are very good, at least the ones we tried.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jesse · May 2025

You walk in, and the place is immaculately clean. Absolutely spotless. The guys behind the counter were very friendly. The food is amazing to say the least. I got several different empanadas, and they were all delicious. Everything was clean, labeled, organized; which made it easy to distribute amongst my guests

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Kevin Martinez · Feb 2026

The food is pretty good, but the young woman behind the counter treated my wife very disrespectfully. Respect can go a long way, especially when you spend $100+. Can’t go back here. Hire respectful people and this place can make more money. From some other reviews you can tell it’s becoming a pattern. Good luck.
