This empanada cafe was a small hole in the wall and the employees/owners were very sweet and welcoming! I highly recommend the chicken empanada as that was my favorite! My co-workers loved the beef empanada, so you can't go wrong either way. The green and yellow sauce are a must as well for all the empanadas! read more

29 Dec 2025: On this day we wanted to find a location with some yummy empandas. So we decided to give 321 Empanadas a try. Not sure what to try we reviewed some of the prior reviews. We ordered the Chicken, Beef, Egg/Sausage, and Pineapple with Cream Cheese. We also went for the Green Sauce as many had recommended. All Empanadas where "delicious with the green sauce." In all, we felt the Chicken Empanadas rose above all the Empanadas that we had on this visit...a really yummy flavor. We will certainly return soon. Thanks to the store representative (Cindy) and her husband for supplying us with a wonderful tasty Empanada experience! read more

Small business pumping out outstanding empanadas. I like chicken, but will usually choose beef or pork, but the chicken empanadas are fantastic. Super affordable so get as manager kinda as you can eat. Breakfast flavors are also super good. Ambiance is street taco meets shady strip mall meets small town Guatemala. Get all the sauces. Ask the staff for help, they will not steer you wrong. read more

Best ! Empanadas Ever !! No grease! No junk! Pure real food. Everything done right ! read more

My husband picked up a few chicken and freshly made beef empanadas, along with the green sauce. RUN! Don't walk! They were amazing and the sauce completes them. Haven't had good authentic empanadas in a long time and this place is worth the drive, as we live north. read more

Baked not fried. My new standard. Swung into this little storefront. Family run. Talked to the owner. Using his parents recipes. I am glad. Three choices and we had the beef and the chicken. The veggie is the other option. Beef was the star of the two. Flavorful and a slight crunch to the pastry. chicken not quite as seasoned but with the "crypto" sauce very good. Pro tip: Parking is horrible. Had to do a three point turn to get out. And going left across traffic is an adventure for sure. I am Sure this will become a regular "honey can you pickup some dinner on the way home" stop. read more

321 Empanadas - Tiny spot. Was very clean. - Peruvian Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

This is the definition of a small business that you want to support. Tucked away on its own in a tiny strip store, it's a gem. They only sell empanadas. Beef, chicken, and veggie. That's it besides a few drinks. The empanadas are delicious. I don't know which is my favorite. The beef and chicken both have olives and eggs. The beef also has raisins and they sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top. Really yummy! The veggie is packed full of corn, carrots, and more. Don't wait until the end of the day because they do sell out. read more

Delicious!! Wonderful staff and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by for breakfast or lunch read more

Super easy to eat and delicious. read more

Cindy is incredibly welcoming and her baked empanadas NEVER miss. Most affordable and tastiest place to get breakfast and/or lunch in town. It's a hole in the wall kind of place but definitely a hidden gem of Brevard County, I will miss this place everyday when I move. Don't forget the mild green sauce! read more

I am not an empanada expert at all. That being said, the service was great, but I did not like the empanadas. The boiled egg with olives on the inside may be traditional, but I did not like them. May be great by most standards, but I'm not a fan. Try for yourself and don't take my word for it. read more

Now that was delicious! Visiting from out of town and always looking for good food to try. We stopped in, ordered some fresh, hot breakfast and beef empanada and took them to go. Loved the simplicity, yet powerful flavors! That green saunter just elevated that beef empanada. Highly recommend for a quick bite or breakfast! read more

Stopped in after lunch at nearby Oh Biscuit to pick up a few empanadas for later that day for dinner. Warmed them up in the toaster oven a few hours later and they were perfect. I will be back! read more

Friendly owners. Delicious food. Really cool spot. Great prices. Highly recommend! Thankful to have this eatery in town!

High quality food and service at cheap cost. Baked empanadas. Very good breakfast as well. Must try breakfast and beef. I'll be back to try chicken. read more

Delicious! I tried the beef and the chicken. I liked both but the beef was my favorite. My husband's too. Several reviews mention boiled egg and olives but I did not detect a trace of either; I hate olives. They were very hot so we took them home to eat later. read more

Consistency is key. When this place first opened, the beef empanadas were amazing, real Peruvian style with egg and olives inside. The last two times I've gotten the beef empanadas, they only have beef inside. What happened? Please don't change the original recipe. That's what makes them unique and delicious. read more

Amazing!!! Yellow sauce is on another level. Chicken ones are my favorite!! Lovely owners

Different than any other empanadas I've ever had, with hard boiled eggs and Kalamata olives as standard ingredients, and the beef had raisins and powdered sugar? ...kinda weird. They're Cooked in a pie crust like wrap first thing in the morning and left in a warm oven all day, which explains the warm, but not hot, serving temperature (I suppose if they were in a hot oven all day they would've been overcooked). I personally like my food hot, but I suppose I could take it home and put it in the oven to warm it up more... Cooked first thing in the mornings so if you want a special order (like no olives for example) you have to call and order the day before. Had one ground beef and one chicken and that was a decently filling lunch. Tried both sauces; the green was OK with (I think) cucumber and cilantro, the yellow was much better, though I couldn't identify the flavor profiles. Friendly service, and a small dining area with two tables sitting four people each. Not sure if I'd go again or not, to be honest. I like my food hot and I'm not a fan of olives or raisins and the hard boiled egg inside was strange to me, though maybe I could get used to it? A lot of the cons listed are just due to personal preference, so maybe you will love it! ‍ read more

They were fresh homemade the breading was very light. he said there's only 80 cal in the bread of the empanada. I had all three the vegetable, chicken and beef. The beef was very flavorful. The chicken was moist not spicy and the vegetable was a great combination of different vegetables and sauce. I like spicy food but this was very mild for people who can't take too much spicy. Their green sauce was flavorful and added a little extra something to the empanada. There a little store was clean with tables to eat on. They don't deliver because they are small mom and pop store but you can order and pick up to take home. Very nice husband and wife I highly recommend trying this place if you like empanadas. read more

Excellent empanadas! I had the Chicken and it was probably the best chicken empanada I've ever had. Like others said: freshly baked, mom and pop store, definitely worth a visit! 5 stars for sure! read more

When we saw the signs as we drove by, we knew we had to stop on our way home. We did and bought 4 of the beef empanadas. They are very meaty and delicious. Next time we're going to try the chicken. Could be hotter for my taste but I added that when I got home. Delicious food. Try it! read more

Wow! I loved the empanadas here at 321! The service is also super friendly. We each a chicken and beef baked empanada. What makes this place special is the seasoning of the filling! Delicious. I'll be back. read more

Amazing empanadas! Best in Melbourne. Fresh, homemade pastry with delicious beef, chicken or veggie filling. Simply wonderful.

This place is worth looking for. It is really tiny and hard to get to, especially now with Eau Gallie Blvd. closed at the RR crossing. But don't give up. The young couple who run 321are really nice and the empanadas are super. I had the beef for lunch and bought a veggie to take home for supper. These would be great to order out for a party or gathering. Something different! read more
