Tico's Empanadas

The Owner Ruben and Cook Joe greeted us warmly and were very helpful in deciding what we wanted to order. This was our first time at Tico’s after a few attempts to go previously. We were not disappointed! The food was cooked fresh and piping hot! You have to try the Pumpkin Empanadas! To top it off, the restaurant is gluten free, I was able to share food with my girlfriend.

Absolutely amazing and delicious food. It is unheard of to be able to go somewhere and eat safely as someone that suffers with celiac disease. Staff is so knowledgeable and kind. Definitely will be coming here very often.

I have been many times and always have a great experience! Everyone is friendly and the food is always made fresh and tastes delicious! The empanadas fillings are very flavorful no matter what you choose and they are stuffed! Being gluten-free, it isn’t often that you get to enjoy something that is flaky and crispy like these empanadas are. Highly recommend, you can’t go wrong, no matter what you choose to order!

We had dinner here as a family and it was a great experience!! We have two young kids and the chill atmosphere made it quite comfortable. The food was delicious and 100% gluten free! The Yuka fries were amazing along with bbq pork empanadas and chicken bacon ranch empanadas with agua frescas. The guys working there were extremely friendly. I would highly recommend!!

People were nice and the atmosphere of the building was nice. I wish I could say the same for the food. Ordered 2 chicken, 1 pork and chimichuri, and one beef and potato empanadas. The food had a weird aftertaste from the empanada, and the filling wasn't much better. The beef and potato was okay at best, and that's with the "salsa verde," if you could call it that. The flavor profile was way too lime-focused and not much else, which was essentially just masking the blandness of the food. The chicken empanadas were genuinely one of the worst things I've eaten this year, and not even the salsa could save it. I took one bite without any and genuinely struggled to take the second WITH the salsa. Overall, for the incredibly steep price of $24, I'd much rather buy the ingredients and make it mys
