It's a cute little spot that you will see an oven that does the heating empanadas right away. I…read moreordered three empanadas for $15. Cheese and Ham, Spanish and chicken. They didn't have some of the steak or pepperoni ones. So the choice is a little limited if there is a larger order before your order. Location : is a bit hot inside Patio: cute and open up where you can take a sit and watch outside while enjoying your empanadas Taste wise: taste is pretty good, a bit expensive for the size and the breading or dough is a bit dry for my taste. The front desk guy is pretty friendly. Out of the three, my favorite is actually the Spanish! It's pretty cheesy too. Just wish there are hot sauces that can pair up with the empanadas. I did tried their little red sauce..it's pretty much tasted just tomatoes sauce in a way. If there were some hot sauces it would had been perfect Overall: I want them to do well, a bit expensive for three of them, and I might stop by when I crave it tho, not the usual tho. Again for the price is a bit expensive for it.

We decided to get a dozen and just ordered a variety of what they had. First I would like to say that their empanadas are bomb. From the desert menu to their OG (which is my fav) all were very delicious. But what I really loved about this place was their salsa verde or green hot sauce. I've tasted many, and I mean many, but this place I would say has the best hands down. It was so good I had to buy some to take home to put on my burritos for when I order from taco shops. Give this place a try, it's definitely worth it. I will be coming back again, especially to buy more of that sauce!

There are too many tacos in California, we need more empanadas! I love hot tasty meats wrapped in…read morea warm, buttery, and delectable pastry! Sadly, this touristing San Diegan Yelper was already full from brunch, but just had to try one...Beef & Egg! The musical medley of beef, egg, spices, and secret ingredients wrapped in lovely pastry was a perfect symphony of flavors and textures in my mouth. The extra chimchurri sauce was a perfect encore. Friendly staff, California eccentric surfer vibes, kept the interactions interesting. Will try to stop by again on my rare road trips between San Diego and LA or Disneyland.

1st time here! Friendly service and tasty quality handmade empanadas. Today I got 10 (variety). I…read moregot it through a special deal, so I plan to freeze them. I tried 2 (the veggie lentil one and the cheeseburger one). I was a fan of the cheeseburger. It was flavorful and just the right amount of American Cheesy. The lentil one had a dry texture and was too salty for me. I look forward to trying the chicken one and any of the other flavors I was unable to get this time. Note, this shop is located in a very busy commercial area. It is best to get to it by foot. Parking seems to be a real pain in this area. Tight street and packed parking. Thankfully, I was able to park in the small lot right in front of the store. Give them a try! 2 thumbs up!!

It's been awhile since we've been here - and the empanadas more shaped like the traditionally…read morehalf-moon made - - with the same awesome fillings. I kinda missed the old days when you got a treasure map of each filling within every empanada (see previous pict). The Caprese is full of fresh tomatoes and gooey cheese. Beef is not greasy - love the green olives. The lamb is a must-have. Especially if you don't like lamb. Seasoned and flaky - not gamey at all. And another big star for being the healthy empanada place - they are all baked. Excellent service as well - you'll be in and out in under 5 minutes during a rush. That is unless the one moron in line was staring at their screen when they should be looking at the menu!!

They make really good empanadas. This visit I got beef and mushroom/cheese empanadas. They were…read morevery tasty and had a good amount of "stuffing", but I couldn't tell which was which and had to break them apart before eating. I asked the young woman at the register to be sure to give me enough chimichurri for 3 empanadas. She gave me one small portion--not enough. So 5 stars for taste and cleanliness but -1 for no labeling, chintzy on the chimichurri, oh, and expensive for empanadas. Parking is a pain. I find the street parking is easier, if you can find any.

You can really taste the quality and care in each bite. The variety is great too so there's something for everyone whether you're in the mood for savory or a little sweet :) Service was friendly and welcoming. It's a perfect spot for a quick bite that still feels special. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to! Support your local businesses!

Ham and cheese, corn and cheese, beef, chicken... they made so many different kinds, and it was always a delight. Now as an adult, having them at Nora's Empanadas brought back so many great memories! I'm rarely in Temecula, but yesterday we were in town for a baseball tournament. We'd seen Nora's Empanadas on Instagram, so I made a quick side trip to grab some. I ordered the ham and cheese, pepperoni, and beef empanadas--they were all delicious! But the absolute winner was the guava and cheese empanada. It was overwhelmingly sweet, but it hit the spot perfectly!" So if you are in Temecula, Ca. And are looking for lunch spot look no further than Nora's empanadas!

I enjoy a good Latin or South American dish and this place is mainly Peruvian & Colombian themed…read more I'm familiar with some Brazilian food and brands so I'm thrilled when I can come here for a Guaraná soda. I've had everything from their saltado dishes, empanadas of various kinds, an assortment of their pastries, and ready to go drinks. Everything has been good for the most part. Tho when I'm craving a dessert stop here I favor the guava pastry and the alfajores, & you have to special order the cheese Pastry/bread. I'm a huge fan of "pudim" that's how you say flan in Portuguese! Yet the flan is not my favorite here since the sugar caramelization it's usually cooked too much, causing a burnt flavor, and the consistency is too aerated rather than having a creamy and smooth consistency. I've tried it a few times and that seems to be their consistent style. We get cravings for this place and like that we're mainly serviced by the nice owners of this restaurant. The restaurant is decorated in their native culture in mind. I love that! If you're craving a good empanada or a sweet tooth treat come and give them a try!

Felt very meh about this place. I visited with some…read morecoworkers at lunch. There was only one employee working and she was very rude! Was not friendly and did not care about the way she conducted her service. I ordered a corn and cheese empanada and a spicy beef one with a side salad. Side salad is totally not worth it, do not get it! Tastes like a regular Costco salad with some walnuts. Both empanadas were good and fresh but nothing to rave about. The spicy beef one was the best one. I don't think I'd recommend this place.

It's most certainly a bright spot. The staff there this Sunday morning when I visited was cheerful…read more Lovely. And super warm. She / They made the visit pleasant. I thought the food was above average. I think it's great for a quick snack. I think it's great if you're just passing by. But I wouldn't go out my way. I got two this morning. One lamb. One mushroom and cheese. Torn on which one is better. I think without the chimichurri sauce, the lamb was better. It was savory and rich. It felt well put together. But I added the sauce and it switched the flavor profile of it a bit too much. The mushroom and cheese one was the opposite. It didn't need the sauce but the sauce enhanced it quite a bit. The sauce was okay. I got the spicy one and it was more mild. I can only imagine what the mild version tasted like. Plenty of seats. Can fit maybe 30ish people inside and outside. It's a warm atmosphere / ambiance with it being yellow and white.
