The best empanadas my wife [a Brazilian] and I have ever had. And we have had many, including in Panama, the country, and Brazil. I don't believe that they can be made differently. They are baked, with an appropriate crust that is not too thick, like a pizza dough. The fillings are numerous and delicious. Just delectable. And they have have homemade chimichura sauce. The El Dorado of Empanadas. read more

Amado's Market -- specifically those empanadas -- has completely ruined me and I have zero regrets about it. I could not stop eating them. Not even a little. Every single bite is packed with flavor and you can taste immediately that these are the real deal -- homemade, authentic, and made with actual care and love. The price is fantastic which honestly makes it even more dangerous because there is absolutely nothing stopping you from ordering way more than you planned. And you will. Trust me. This is not your average empanada. This is the kind of food that takes you somewhere -- the kind that makes you wonder why you ever settled for anything less. If you consider yourself even a casual fan of empanadas you need to get here immediately because Amado's is on a completely different level. Absolutely incredible. Cannot recommend enough. read more

Small place where you can hang out while having a bottle of wine and eat some delicious empanadas! You can also purchase other Argentinian products such as alfajores, wines, etc. They have a huge selection of empanadas, from pepperoni-filled to 4 cheeses; spicy beef, ham & cheese, and more. And if you want something sweet, they do offer two or three sweet ones. In addition, you can request spicy or normal chimichurri sauces. Parking may be tricky but with ample street parking, you should find a spot quickly. read more

Really nice spot for Argentine food and coffee. Pleasant ambiance, friendly service, and a nice variety of generously stuffed empanadas on display (with both traditional and creative options). I enjoyed my visit but did find the empanadas a little over-baked. It may have just been this particular batch on this particular day, though, so I'll give them another try when in the area. read more

Amado Market - Empanadas Near Me - Wilton Manors, Florida

Shocked Was craving for empanadas and found this place next to my nail place. Was amazed to say the least. The ambience, very cool staff, the food design , the variety of choices, caviar to buy, Argentinian wine selection per glass for a date night. Steaks and smell of Argentinian coffee. My 9 year old loved her chicken empanada. took a bunch home and invited my husband for a wine-steak date night. As a spoiled person who travels 2-3 times a month to best food cities, places like this make Miami a food capital in 2025. read more

Good market with solid sandwiches and fresh ingredients. Service was quick and friendly.

Let me summarize, the empanadas are delicious. Not too much bread and baked just right with a variety of fillings. The restaurant service can be somewhat confused and chaotic but worth it once you have a taste. Ambiance is relaxed with some community table and outside space. The restaurant is also surprisingly reasonable. read more

My wife and I were checking out the local area and happened upon the city of Wilton Manors. We realized it was after 1pm and we were starving. Being Christmas Eve, there were not many options to grab a bite to eat. My wife saw this quaint little restaurant called Amado market and so we parked and went in. We were greeted by the lovely husband and wife proprietors, Nicolas and Juliana. Their family has been in the restaurant business in Argentina since 1990 and they decided to bring their Argentinian flavors to the US. The interior is dark and cosy with the largest selection of empanadas I have ever encountered. The wine list is extensive and had I not been driving, I would have sampled some. We ordered 3 empanadas and we shared. Both my wife really enjoyed the savory flavors. They use quality ingredients and the crust was flaky. A gem Argentinian eatery that I highly recommend. read more

Such an amazing find in the heart of Wilton! Ever since my favorite empanada place on the drive sold to a new company, I've been missing the opportunity to stop in for a yummy empanada when I need a little something to eat. This is actually the second time I went to Amado Market, but I realized I forgot to review it the first time! On this trip, I got one empanada with BBQ Pulled Pork, one with Flank Beef and Provolone, and my personal favorite, Bacon, Plum, and Mozzarella! My friend got Chicken, Sweet Beef, and Broccoli and Parmesan. There is not a flavor here that's bad, and I love that they have unique flavors as well! There was a new cheeseburger flavor I was drying to try, so maybe I'll give that a go next time. They also have lots of full entrees if you're looking for something more hearty! My favorite thing about these empanadas is that they are STUFFED full! Some places can give you half empty pockets, but these are plump and not at all skimpy on their fillings! I am so glad this place opened, and I hope they are able to stay open for a long while! read more

This is a casual place... And it is good. Their focus is empanadas which are delicious. The interior is comfortable, the staff are welcoming. And there's wine. I've returned several times. read more

Whoa, what a hidden gem for Empanadas!!! This is THE place in Fort Lauderdale to get your empanada fix! Forget what you've been advertised or sold for 2.50( usually the cost of Argentinian Empanada) with other businesses around, they don't hold fuego to this one !!! First of all, their empanadas are DELICIOUS. My taste buds are rejoicing ! I tried the beef and husband got the aumado , both are so tasty well and seasoned that their price is justified. I repeat, these empanadas are NOT your run of the mill pick up and go empanadas, they are house made with love empanadas and deserve your full attention when you bite into them. The space is small family owned , cold and comfortable and very well decorated. Think of it as a Starbucks for empanadas is the best way to describe it ! A great space to work out from you if you're going from office to office. They also have a great wine selection, coffee, sandwiches and salads along with charcuterie boards to enjoy that wine with! The service was fantastic!!! The owner was super kind and friendly. Also, the bathrooms are squeaky clean ! Which is a major plus for me ! Please go give this business a try. read more

Nice small restaurant that offers like 20 varieties of empanadas. But that's not all wonderful salads and other menu items. The also sell caviar which I'm not a fan of but it shows you the diversity of their menu. Great wine selection as well. read more

Great food, good service, nice atmosphere and clean. Empanadas are delicious, not fried but baked. They have so many different kinds to choose from. If you have leftovers they reheat great in the microwave. read more

While we miss the delicious takeout food of the Nicaraguan restaurant previously on this site, Amado Market is a worthy substitute. We were on the Drive looking for something fast and tasty to eat. Amado's hit the spot! Even if it's not really a market, Amado provides a variety of excellent, fresh empanadas. I especially liked the Spicy Beef empanada. The other offerings are a little more upscale than a typical empanada place, with charcuterie boards, caviar, wine and beer available. The ambiance is cool and remodeled with a trendy wood vibe. While most business appears to be takeout, there are a few tables and mismatched chairs to sit after ordering at the counter. Given the day's events, the chaotic feel of the dining area was acceptable. Plus the remodeled restroom is clean. And what better place to be than at an Argentinian restaurant with a big screen TV to see Argentina win the World Cup 2022? That excitement made the vibe truly authentic! read more

Small place , such a yummy place...plum bacon, omg a must have. And the Spinach and cheese yummmmy

Love this mornings newest find! We were in search of coffee and perhaps a pastry after our morning walk. Out of curiosity we stopped by Amado Market. Initially we thought is was truly a small Argentinian Market/store. We were pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful little sit down wine bar and cafe within. They have delicious empanadas and other pastries, along an excellent selection of wines and the bubbly. They also have customizable charcuterie plates available and a number of caviar choices. There is a wonderful happy hour from 5-8 pm everyday! The happy hour is 50% off wine, beer and Prosecco. They are new to the strip and have only been open one month. So if you happen to be in the area be sure to stop by! The people working here are very nice and welcoming. Our coffee and empanada were so good and we will be back soon! read more

5 star review to Amado Market on Wilton Drive. 2 years of continuous success with the best of Argentinian cuisine : Empanadas (16 flavors) , Argentinian steak, Milanesas ( beef or chicken), and now adding croquetas! Great selection of wines, exquisite coffees and a deli counter. Very nice ambiance and decor with outdoor tables. Don't miss it! read more

Empanadas were incredible. Can't wait to return and try a few more and some other things on the menu. A little pricier than normal but definitely worth it. read more

Hours are always off. They show up when they want. So don't bank on it being open unless they want it to.

Quality Food. Great Service. Fun Interior. This is a great option in Wilton Manors. I have come here about a dozen times. The food is consistently high quality, served-up by some really nice people. Nice wine list, too. There are still a couple of menu items I want to try, but only after I can live without their empanadas (they are *SO GOOD*). read more

When we arrived, there was just us and 1 other table. Very slow service. After our order was taken, it took 15 minutes to get our beverages and 30 minutes for the meal. The server was sitting behind the counter not concerned about us. The server and the owner never even started to get our meal of empanadas and a sandwich until after they served the other people who arrived after us. The food was average, not worth the visit. THEN the bill came and we paid.... They automatically added a 20% tip to the bill... This is the US and not Argentina, we tip based on service and food quality, maybe this is why they took their time making our meal.. They knew they were going to get the tip anyways. . Not going back! read more

Super friendly staff and delicious empanadas made real Argentinians. Nice selection of Argentine wines. I'm looking forward to checking out the happy hour. I do wish they opened for breakfast earlier than 10am. Perhaps their hours will expand over time. Great place! read more

True gem of a food spot. Authentic, delicious food, amazing service, and elegant / fun atmosphere.

Best empanadas I've ever had! I work a few doors down and we can't stop going here for lunch almost every day. The owners and staff are very sweet and the food is excellent! I highly recommend them to everyone. The sweet beef and pulled pork empanadas are very addicting! read more

We loved this place. We had passed by the restaurant often but never took the opportunity to dine there until Saturday evening. The display case with over 10 types of empanadas is a great welcome to the restaurant. The empanadas look delicious and they were! What a great variety and so fresh! We also had the small cheese tray which was beautifully presented. In addition, the service was excellent! read more
