Great quick meal (10 minutes, cooked fresh). Tried 3 different flavors and they were all great!
**The Empanada Spot – A Hidden Gem That Just Became My Obsession ★★★★★** I’ve driven past The Empanada Spot a hundred times and always told myself “one day.” Well, that “one day” finally happened last week when a late-night craving hit. Let me tell you: I walked in curious and left absolutely mind-blown. These are not your average empanadas. I ordered the classic beef, and when they handed me the bag I could already hear the faint sizzle through the paper. One bite and I legitimately stopped in the middle of the parking lot — the dough is perfection. Golden, flaky on the outside, soft and slightly chewy within, with that ideal crisp edge that shatters just right. The filling? Juicy, perfectly seasoned ground beef with a depth of flavor that makes you wonder how something so simple can t
I’m an Argentinian guy and very stick to my Argentinian empanadas culture. But this Mexican empanadas make me think about wich one is the best. They are really amazing. I’m really glad that the owner is a very proud if his culture, sharing her grandma’s recipe to let the word enjoy the best other than we already know about the great Mexican culture. 1000% recommended. Looking forward to see a chain of this brand.
I was immediately welcomed as I entered the door. It was my first time so I was not familiar with the menu. The woman at the register was so sweet as to walk me through the options. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Standing room only. So you order and go. The food was delicious! I will be back not.only because of the food but the warm customer service (which is lacking many other places) Thank you
I wasn't too impressed by the empanadas. They have a good variety of flavors but the taste is average and needs more seasoning. Some of them, like the Chicken Bacon Ranch and Cuban, are so cheesy it's overwhelming. The only good one was the Spicy Chicken. I don't plan to revisit in the future.
