Empanash: Reviews & Ratings
Absolute best crepes we've ever had. Wow. Empanadas we're also super tasty. We loved the chimichurri sauce.
The empanadas were delicious! They could’ve fried a tad bit longer so it could a bit crispier but that’s just personal preference. The beef empanadas was mainly beef and minimal of all other ingredients. The breakfast empanada was so well seasoned and the texture of the filling was amazing! The spinach empanada was a bit bland but cheesy and filled with filling!
Had the breakfast empenada and the dessert apple empanada at the restaurant. Love the dough for the skin, and egg bacon stuffing! With chimichurri sauce, what a good mix! Buy 6 and get 1 free! 7 per empenada is pretty pricey, but they're good! Friendly staff and cozy dining area. You can also order uncooked empenadas.
Highly recommend the namaste (vegetarian) empanada and milanesa platter. The beef and corn empanadas were fresh and good, but nothing compared to the first two dishes mentioned. For a party of 2: i'd recommend sharing 2 empanadas and the Milanesa platter. We'd shared 3 empanadas and the platter and were too stuffed! The owner served us the food and warmly suggested that we use the chimichurri salsa (that came w the empanada) on the milanesa. It was delicious, and a touch of service that you seldom receive these days
We ordered a beef, a ham and cheese, and a cinnamon apple. All were excellent! The place is tiny, but the patio was large and comfortable. The staff were friendly. I'm pretty sure the person cooking today is the owner/chef. For a quick, delicious meal this is a great place!
Lovely establishment with great empanadas. Really friendly staff, they allowed us to bring our dog in and helped pair empanadas with the right sauce. Super cute that all their empanadas have their name imprinted on it too
Very friendly and prompt service. Seating inside and outside. And empanadas were absolutely delicious and flavorful. We got beef, chicken, spinach and cheese (Popeye), ham and cheese (Hammer), and breakfast. Personal favorite was the beef and Popeye.
We ordered the beef empanada and the breaded steak sandwich—both were really good! The empanada had a generous amount of flavorful meat, and the sandwich was huge and satisfying. Definitely worth trying!
