I just got back with my takeout order (1 beef and pork with cheese, 1 chicken with cheese, 1 with guava and cheese). Took one bite of each and hopped on here because D@&!!! It's good! I'm from Cali and never had an empanada this good! read more

Amazingly delicious and made to order! Two locations ~ flea market and satellite beach. Satellite beach location has a nice bathroom and tables to dine in. Beef empanadas were on point! I look forward to trying other flavors next time. The store could use an updated sign. I was so close to leaving the plaza thinking yelp had outdated info when I couldn't find the venue. The sign was definitely not what I was expecting it to look like and could use a replacement for something brighter like yellow and red. read more

OMG WOW! These are the absolute BEST empanadas I have ever eaten! They come in a variety of meals where you can mix and match flavors like beef, pork, black bean/ plantains, and cheese. They probably have even more if you ask. They are GLUTEN FREE and the flavor is spectacular! I tried the cheese and my husband got the beef and black bean with plantains. The owner even makes homemade sauces. A green mild and red spicy sauce. Mix the two sauces and you have an amazing flavor and a little heat to go along with the flavor of the empanadas! The cheese is a food lovers dream. Cheese just dripping out of the middle of this creation like a piece of fine art! What can I say except that I have been craving these empanadas ever since I ate them last week! The owner George, is kind, professional and the restaurant at Renningers flea market (one of two locations) is very basic with not much seating but easy enough to find. The overall experience makes this unassuming restaurant seem like just another food booth when it is a diamond among the crowd. Who knew you could get 5 star service and amazing food at a flea market! I have decided that for football weekends I am going to special order a dozen of these and take them home. The overall customer service and atmosphere is so welcoming that you feel like family. Don't miss your chance to try authentic empanadas made with love from a family run business that literally put their heart and soul into making these the best empanadas ever! read more

The best empanadas!! The Empanada King was so warm and welcoming. He shared some secrets to what makes his empanadas so special and you taste the love that goes into them. My husband and I tasted one of each available at the Flea Market location, and I cannot wait to try other options at their larger selection in Satellite Beach. The Hawaiian one with chicken, cheese and pineapple was my absolute favorite; then chicken; then just cheese. So so good! They all were so flavorful and amazing. This spicy lady loves her sauces too and The Empanada King delivered on that too with his two incredible sauces. Seriously ya'll...if you haven't tried you are missing out on the good life. I have been telling everyone and ready to make this a staple in my life. The size, texture, taste...everything is perfection! Get some! read more

Unexpected and fantastic. The empanadas are beyond good . I will be back soon not only for fresh ones but some frozen ones for the kids when timing is tight. read more

To be honest it wasn't the best empanadas I've had. And that's coming from being Spanish and raised eating empanadas. I love that they tried a new way of using a different tortilla but it felt too fried. To greasy. I ordered a chicken empanada and it came with raisins and that's a no for me. The only one I liked was the guava cheese and sweet plantains one. That's all. But I wouldn't order from here again. read more

Great service! I went to the location at the flea market. I was given explanation about all of the options and what was recommended based off how hungry I was, and given an estimated wait time. Super friendly and told me some of their methods to keep the moisture and flavor to the meats. Explained all the option at their main store location. The shell is corn and yuca and probably one of the best I've had. Sauce is delicious. Gave both spicy and not spicy to try separate or together. Seating inside the store and outside on picnic patio with basic comforts. Definitely will go to the main store to try the rest of the flavors. read more

Empanada King- Melbourne Renningers- 4 Stars "Wanderer, there is no road -- Only wakes upon the sea." -- Antonio Machado, Campos de Castilla As I sat at the beach gazing intently into the far-off horizon over the Atlantic ocean my mind drifted back to a poem by famed Spanish poet Antonio Machado, Campos de Castilla. Thanks to those wakes my muchacho Machado we have some amazing flavors in the culinary cornucopia that makes up the American dining landscape. The Spanish, for example, brought flavors from every region of Spain and dropped them off here and there and in so doing created a breadcrumb trail of regional flavors in the Caribbean on their way to the New World. One of those breadcrumbs landed on the island of Puerto Rico from where Jorge, the owner/chef of Empanada King in Melbourne, originated. The first thing I noticed as I entered was the guy behind the counter. He was wearing a cardboard crown (like the ones from Burger King we all wore as a child). With the name of the restaurant being what it is I assumed this was the reigning monarch, King Jorge, in the flesh. As I approached the counter to place my order I noticed the limited seating area and thought that like the empanada itself, the restaurant seemed designed with carry-out in mind. Jorge greeted me with the efficacy one usually only finds in the proprietor and gladly took my order. I went with Combo #2 which includes 3 empanadas and your choice of fountain drink. For my three empanadas I ordered one beef and pork combo, one chicken and one cheese and for my drink my ever-present iced tea. Grabbing my order from the counter and returning to my table I thought to myself, "Ok, game on. Let's see if the crown was deserved. Is he really The King?" Noticing the way my food looked, I glanced back toward the kitchen and noticed the glaring absence of machinery. Everything was handmade and fresh to order by Jorge. So far, his claim to the throne was looking good. As my teeth broke through the perfectly fried outer pastry and sank into the delicious conglomeration of meats and spices inside of the chicken/pork empanada, I was about ready to pledge him my fealty. The flavors were ambrosial on the palate and it only got better when I used the handmade sauces that accompanied my meal. Jorge's guacamole is fresh, creamy, colorful and just the right amount of spicy while his cilantro aioli is a sauce fit for Kings and Queens alike as it had the perfect mixture of cilantro, garlic and other Spanish spices. The chicken empanada was a twin to the chicken/pork one as it, too, had an amazing flavor and exploded on the palate with deliciousness fit for royalty. There were all kinds of Latin flavors dancing around inside a perfectly golden, flaky pastry. I found this matched up rather well with the cilantro aioli as if designed for each other. The chicken was fresh, tender, juicy, flavorful and faultlessly presented. I would say that the cheese empanada was the pièce de résistance of the meal, but that would be a huge disservice to the other empanadas I enjoyed. Once again, Jorge fried the homemade pastry to a delicious golden brown and the inside was a delightful mix of cheeses, Latin spices and fresh herbs. I don't know if it goes back to the Spanish explorers seeding of the islands on their way to the new continent, or the fact that Jorge really is the King of Empanadas, but the flavor distinction between the empanadas from a Puerto Rican origin and the other island famous for meat pies, Jamaica, cannot be overstated. I have had plenty of pastries from the land of Marley and while they can be flavorful, they do not compare to the ones served by Jorge. He is the King!!

Best empanadas in town! Go check this guys out, make sure you buy a bottle of his green sauce. SO SO GOOD

If you're looking for the best empanadas, look no further! Flavorful and shareable! The owner was very kind and spent some time with us to figure out what we liked. My favorites were the cheese empanada and chicken empanada. He makes his own green sauce you can by, which I highly suggest! We bought 2 bottles, each about $6. It's a great shop and I can't wait to go back! read more

Amazing Empanadas and sauces. The Turkey and guava is my favorite, so far. The owner is very friendly and wears his crown well. read more

First time trying this place tonight. Empanadas were delicious and crispy! Sauces were out of this world. The owner is friendly. Order was ready in 8 minutes. 100% recommend. I wish I had a picture of the empanadas but they were too good. read more

Great place. Good Empanadas. Flavorful and nice variety of options. The owner is very friendly, helpful and is will bend over backwards to ensure you happy with your order! Look for it, there's not a sign on A1A, which is really needed - it's been open for over 5 years!!! read more

Best empanadas I've ever had! As an expert in the field (just made that up) I've traveled across the country and the islands and have never had an empanada as good as the smoked turkey and guava....EVER!!!! After telling the owner I don't eat pork he took his time to explain each of the options to me, Hell Chick-Fil-A could take notes from him..ehhhhmmm back to the food. The crust was perfectly golden but the inside was soft as a pillow! The meat was the perfect amount of smoke and the guava added a nice sweetness! To top it off, the dipping sauce was different than what I am used to but it was on point like a free throw shot! Please stop reading this and give this man your hard earned cash, it's worth it! read more

Loved it! Delicious Weird mall, but really good, and great price.

Amazing empanadas. Hands down the best around town. Definitely a 5 star. If you're looking for a good snack then this is the best place to go to. Ask for the mojo pork, you won't be disappointed. The chicken is good as well. read more

Can't speak on the actual food because we left before we got anything. I can however speak on the owner... the guy wearing the plastic crown. Total jerk. Told me that females usually eat 2 if hungry, but for me, I would have to get 4. Now Im nowhere near overweight, but I have a little extra curves. Needless to say we left right away. If you want business love, maybe you should consider keeping your rude thoughts to yourself ;) We did hit up another place in the market and they were lovely! read more

The best empanada ever. Never disappointed. The sauces are awesome. I like to mix the two sauces ( spicy and not spicy) together. I love them all but the beef is my favorite. Cheese , chicken, pork, they are all great. Love the flea market sight. 5 minutes away from my home and always great. The king is always friendly and I absolutely love all the empanadas. read more

Good empanadas. Light, crispy and flavorful on the inside. The sauces are great. My only complaint is the price. Could be more reasonable and the owner is friendly but a bit pushy. Let your food speak for itself and it'll sell. read more

My boyfriend and I got to meet the owner who was just a joy to be around and got to eat his hand made empanadas we had the beef, chicken and the cheese which was my favorite. Chris's favorite was the beef. The green sauce that came with it was one of a kind extraordinary. He should really bottle that up and sell it as a sauce. I wish we had one closer because we were just talking about wanting some more. We were at the Melbourne flea market he has a small shop Friday Saturday and Sunday. I can tell you if you were to open one down south where I live in the Fort Lauderdale area you would be very rich in clientele. When I'm back in town this way I will be heading up 45 minutes to come eat your empanadas thank you so much! Heather the Italian girl that you thought was a Cuban :-) I didn't realize I wasn't meeting Chris back at the restaurant I would've said goodbye sorry I didn't mean to be rude read more

This place is definitely a must visit and revisit. I finally had a chance to eat there today the empanada dough by itself is very tasty and crunchy and the beef/port meat is also very tasty. Put these 2 together and you have a hit! The "King" was very friendly and helpful. He explains everything from what an empanada is (for those few folks who don't know) to the best way to eat them, etc.. Don't miss it next time you are in the area. read more
