Absolutely delicious! I've been to EDA once before and have been craving their empanadas ever since! Much like last time, there seemed to be only one person running the shop, the place was sparkling clean (including the restrooms), and there was ample seating in the dining area. The music was a little too loud, especially so in the bathroom, but otherwise the café was so nice. The menu is chock-full of delicious sounding dishes and boba drinks, but I opted for two of their ready to go empanadas. I had the Beef & Cheese, and the Chicken Salteña Empanadas. Both were super yummy and neither the beef nor chicken was dry inside. The fillings were savory, the Beef & Cheese amazingly creamy, and the Chicken Salteña a good blend of spices. The raisins in the Salteña did throw me off for a moment as I didn't think they worked all too well with the rest of the texture of the filling, but it didn't detract too much from the empanada. The dipping sauce that they came with was so tasty and flavorful as well! I was only able to finish half of each empanada because they were so big, but the server was kind enough to give me extra sauce with my to-go box. It added another layer of tastiness to the experience! EDA is a little out of the way for me so I'm not able to go as much as I'd like, but I know I'll be stopping in to snag an empanada or a boba tea when I'm in the area. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try! read more

Even though I was not selected, I joined my wife here for Yelp Elite event. Not sure who I upset.... lol Very good! I had a baked empanada called chicken Saltena which was amazing! My wife had the beef and potato- very good! Both were baked in an Argentinian style. Really good coffee and a nice comfortable place with nice music. The people that work here were very helpful and friendly. This is a little bit out of the way for us, honestly. But we will be back! Our son lives in Houston and Argentinian empanadas are much more common there, so I can't wait to bring him here the next time he is in town. read more

Best churros in San Antonio! I am so lucky I found this little hole in the wall spot. The empanadas were delicious, perfectly crispy was a delicious warm filling. I loved the creamy chicken spinach empanada. I met the owner of this place and she was so sweet. She talked to us a little bit and gave us some recommendations on which empanadas to try next time. I can't wait to bring my family here! read more

Always on the lookout for empanadas, I hear about EDA that is close to my house so off I go. One thing to note, they do not have signage with the business name where you can see it off Bandera Rd but if you pull into the retail strip you can see it from the side entrance. Not having been here before I ask the young lady at the counter to describe some of the available fillings and what she would recommend. She happily went through the menu and i dicided to go with 3 sweet (1xapple, 2xdulce de leche con banana) and 3 savory (beef/potato, chicken/potato, and plain beef). Some were already made, and a couple others had to be fried fresh. When I got home I tried them all throughout the day and really enjoyed them all. The outside shell of the empanadas was firm and crispy and did not become running from the inside stuffings. The savory ones were all well-seasoned and were still warm with a nice crispness to the outer shell. They reminded me a bit of Indian samosas. Yummy. The sweet ones were also very tasty but not overly sugary. I especially liked the dulce de leche with banana.... really good. Overall, I really enjoyed my first time at EDA and look forward to coming back and trying more of their menu. read more

A first time visit & I'm so happy I found this place. The atmosphere is nice and has indoor seating. They have so many options of empanadas so whatever your preference is, there's something for everyone. I purchased a chicken, beef & potato, beef saltena. They were all very delicious, filling and I loved the crust of the empanadas' my favorite was the beef saltena. I also got a strawberry matcha and was very surprised at how delicious it was! I'm a little boba snob and I thought it was yummy! Overall a great place for lunch or to get a nice Togo order to take home. I'll definitely become a frequent here! read more

This place is definitely a blink and you'll miss it due to location. But for those that find this restaurant will get to have some pretty delicious empanadas! Stopped by here with my daughter and we both felt like it was a pretty chill spot. Coffee shop vibes while being an eatery too. Staff was pretty cool and helpful about recommendations - just way too many things to choose from. I appreciated that if an empanada was out that they would make it fresh. We tried both the apple and the beef and cheese. Incredibly delicious! read more

I really wish this place was closer to where I live! Maybe it's a good thing that it's not because this good establishment would take all my money. I ordered the "beef anfmd cheese" empanada. It just earned a place of my top 5 snacks. I could see myself eating 2 of those for breakfast. I didn't have time to read the full menu, but now I know they serve fruit empanadas that will be my next order. I also ordered the "Brown Sugar Latte with tea with bobba". I'm not a big fan of bobba, it was a fun addition but I prefer no bobba. The drink itself was amazingly delish! I hope I get to go back soon. read more

My bf came home with some empanadas yesterday, he was on his way to cut a haircut and decided to look for food and this spot came up, we've gone to PJs by here but don't even knw this place was here. He got a variety of the empanadas, I will say the fried ones and the chicken Florentine were my favorite, I didn't care for the spinach one though, glad he only got 1 lol. He als got a couple of their cookies and a dragon if used tea and some other drink and both were very refreshing. read more

I was out and about running errands on this side of town. I had been wanting empanadas for a while but I don't live near any spots. I checked out EDA on Yelp and decided to give it a try. To my surprise, I was able to place my order online. I love guava empanadas but those seem to run out first. By ordering ahead I could guarantee I could get one. I also ordered an apple empanada to try. As soon as I parked, I received a notification that my order was ready. The restaurant has the perfect cafe vibe and is nicely put together. When I finally got home and examined my empanadas I was very impressed. Perfectly golden, the crust was solid. I cracked open the guava one to get a look and it was filled nicely. I popped it in the microwave for 10 seconds and took a trip to the sweet life. Now sometimes I like flaky empanadas and sometimes I like them more like turnovers. This is more like a really good turnovers so be aware. I appreciate how full the empanadas were. It was truly a treat. read more

I pass by this place all the time whenever I leave my subdivision, but never stopped. I finally did make a stop today to try them out. The restaurant had the same setup as Wei Chow. I was greeted by a friendly lady, and she took my order. Since it was mid afternoon, the display case was almost empty, but I was reassured there were more in the back. I opted for the beef and potato, beef and cheese, and chicken saltena. My order was placed in a small box, and I was given some chimichurri. When I got home I discovered that I received 2 beef and potato, instead of beef and cheese. The empanadas were small but stuffed with filling. I preferred the beef and potato over the chicken saltena. The chimichurri added a nice touch. While good, I was disappointed with the size, especially for the price. Not sure if I will make it back here anytime soon. read more

The empanadas here are so good! There's only ever one person working so if there's a line or if they get a phone call, it might be slow.

Excellent find through yelp! Came here due to the Yelp week event. We tried multiple variety of empanadas. The humita and ground beef and potato were outstanding. The service was quick. Ambiance was nice. I would come here again if near the area. read more

I tried beef saltena, creamy spinach, and guayaba a quesa. The filling was really yummy. I thought the crust was slightly on the drier side. The guava and cream cheese was good, but I almost couldn't tell it was guava, it just tasted like jam and cream cheese. I tried this place through Uber eats pick up! read more

Too expensive for such a tiny empanada. Ordered online and was surprised how small they are.

Shredded chicken empanadas. *Well seasoned, soft center and crispy outer layer. Stepped in to grab a quick bite and decided to go with some of the empanadas that were ready to be packaged. *courteously I was offered freshly made empanadas with a 15 minute wait time. *Offered milk alternatives for boba, Coffee and tea drinks . *Relaxed ambiance *Overall a good and simple experience ! read more

Wow, do I have great news for y'all! Empanadas de Acá is now open on Bandera Road. I have been waiting for this to happen. You know I have a new favorite Chinese restaurant, Wei Chow. Well this is a companion business in the same building. They are run by a husband from Argentina (empanadas) and a wife from Taiwan (Chinese food). Together, they have created a wonderful food experience. Both businesses are connected by a hallway. Coffee ordered in either place is handcrafted in Wei Chow. Let me just say that the coffee is amazing. All those little boxed joints opening up can not even compete with the quality and care put into the coffee here. If you doubt my word, order a Vietnamese iced coffee and watch it being made. The young baristas look like they are doing a science experiment. Okay... Let's talk about empanadas. In my lifetime, I have only had a few of these. Some were the pumpkin ones from Mexican bakeries in town. Others were homemade by a friend who had lived in Panama. So, that being said, I am no expert. Once again, I have to say I am evaluating these on the basis of what tastes good to me. And, the ones I had today were wonderful. When you first walk in, you are hit with the beautiful aromas of the empanadas. Then, you look into the cabinet and see a lot of different kinds- both savory and sweet. Some have Spanish words that meant nothing to me. One example is "humita". The owner told me it was corn and cheese. I also didn't know the word "salteña". That turned out to be a mix of chicken or beef with raisins, egg, olives, and a sweet spicy sauce. I ordered a beef salteña and a chicken salteña. They were served with a little cup of chimichurri sauce for dipping. The empanadas by themselves were really nice. The edges were pleasantly crunchy, but not hard. The crust was tasty and did not overpower the immense amount of fantastic filling. But, when I dipped my empanada into the sauce, it was over the top delicious! I chased the empanadas with a delicious cold brew iced latte. A server brought it over from Wei Chow. It was really delicious. If it weren't for the calories, I would have gladly ordered another one. Okay... Here's my dilemma. When I pull up to the building, which do I choose- the best Chinese food in town or some really amazing empanadas? Always a problem solver, I've come up with a plan. First, I'll eat Chinese food. Then, I'll pop next door and have a sweet empanada for dessert. It's all good. I better keep going to my Senior Strength classes and hitting that treadmill at Gold's Gym four times a week. read more

Tried everything! Loved everything! The sweet empanadas are divine, guava & cheese was my favorite. The pineapple is delicious as well. The savory empanadas. Lord have mercy! The tuna, never expected it to be one of my favorites. The beef salteña and chicken salteña are high in the list. The humita was an unexpected treat. If I had to pick one, I can't. I'd show you pictures, but I ate them all. Must. Come. Back. read more

Came to this little shop looking for dessert after having lunch next door (Wei Chow, fabulous Taiwanese/Asian food btw). This was newly opened yesterday (11/16/2023)! Damn, missed the opening and being the first one to review! Anyway, it is located near a residential area on Bandara Rd crossing Camino Bandera, in a small business plaza with plenty of shared outside parking. Cosy and small store that captures your nose with the amazing smell. They have all kinds of sweet and savory (salty) empanadas to choose from. You will always be greeted by the friendly staff with a smile. Tried the guayaba y queso empanada. Perfect sweet dessert after lunch; the surface is slightly crispy and after the first bite the amazing filling will overflow out requiring you catch them. All is worthwhile. Almost like an upgraded peanut butter jelly sandwich but even better. Will definitely come to try out more of their different flavors. Keep up the good work Empanadas De Acá! read more

Had a chance to stop by this brand new business on opening day and it did not disappoint! I was greeted as soon as I walked in and the friendly service continued. The smells alone got me expected but once I saw all of the various Empanadas on display, I became giddy! I could have ordered ten of these things but one is enough to stuff you. They had at least ten different choices and each sounded delicious. I decided on the Fried Shredded Chicken & a Beef Salteña. Both were overstuffed and seasoned beautifully. The sauce they offer was the perfect compliment to each. I cannot wait to get back and try each one! Congrats guys and we'll done! read more

Empanadas on the go! Fresh and flavorful. I tried the chicken saltena and the beef and cheese empanadas. Both were really good. The dough/pastry wasn't too thick unlike some places and they were jam packed with filling. I enjoyed it. Bet they're even better first thing when they open. Definitely give the chicken salteña empanadas a try. Think you'll enjoy it. Plus, super friendly customer service and clean restaurant. A++ read more

Very tasty empanadas! They're homemade and fresh. Owners are very sweet and amicable!

If you haven't had an EDA empanada, you are missing out. The ingredients are always fresh with plenty of flavor options to choose from. The chicken saltena is a favorite and it comes with the best dipping sauce. The boba teas are tasty too and can't forget about those yummy churros! The staff is super friendly too and now there is plenty of seating for a relaxing lunch or dinner outing. read more

OMG. If you don't get your body over to see the Eda gang for these empanadas....you are missing out. Sturdy pastry crust blankets over these generously sized hand pies of love. Not greasy at all so you can eat these like an animal if you want! You can eat probably 1 and be full but then have buyer's remorse you didn't take 6 friends so you could each get a flavor and share. The chimichurri oil (I have no idea the right name) but that is a x won't. Fresh and complements the empanadas. Savory and dessert options. Wow. read more

Eda opened on Bandera a few weeks ago. The empanadas are beautiful in color and texture and completely filled. No wasted space here! I tried the Chicken Saltena, which has shredded chicken with garlic, onion, olives, and raisins. My mother-in-law and I shared the Guayaba & Queso for dessert. That one was guava with a smooth cheese that reminded me of an old-fashioned cheese and apple pie. Delicious and unique! The attentive employee said they are inspired by Argentinian and Paraguayan flavors. There is minimal seating inside, but the space is modern and clean. Bonus: the restaurant owners also own Wei Chow, billed as Taiwanese comfort food, next door! read more

Empanadas were premade. That doesn't bother me. This is more of a to go type place. Not a great vibe for dine in. I ordered a selection of empanadas. It's been years since I ate empanadas but I remember liking them better. These might be more authentic but I didn't love them. read more
