We stopped in to get a quick a quick snack on a walk to go and were still waiting 20 minutes later! Not sure what is going on mid-day with three people working... but all of the guests around is also waited what felt like forever to get food. I was really put off by this because we were not the only group waiting for an extended time and the two orders in front of us were incorrect so they had to get their adjustments. They are trying to find a theme (they are going with 90's pop culture I guess) and the place feels much homier than the last time we were in. The empanadas were OK. The cheese in my potato egg and cheese was almost like a fake nacho/American cheese. I would not get it again. We also didn't get any sauce and this was one of the best parts when we have been in before. Really hoping this was a glitch- but be warned- don't expect grab and go! read more

Empanada. Co is a must!! This was the most delightful experience. My wife and I have been wanting to try this place for a while now, and it did not disappoint! Everything on the menu looks delicious so naturally we had to try several empanadas and the bola's. We can't say enough about how delicious every empanada was! And the bolas were also so delicious! We had the pleasure of meeting the owners and had a lovely conversation, they are the nicest people! They also mentioned that they get their cheese from Argentina, which makes all the difference! The decor and ambiance is fantastic and if you're a 90's fan you'll love sitting on the famous "Friends" couch! Highly recommend and will be back soon! read more

Friendly service Pleasant music playing in the background Super fun looking restaurant with rustic seating area and board games. Food was very good, I liked the regular chicken better than the tinga one. Both ground beef were good and we really liked their sauces. Just not a lot of food for the price. read more

Great friendly owners that make the most delicious empanadas I've had in a while. Had a sample box, loved the meet with lots of olives and egg, very traditional Argentinian, I believe that's Felicia's mom's recipe. The space is bright, colorful and artsy. Will definitely be going back when in town. read more

The sweetest family owns this place! DELICIOUS empanadas. So excited to see a new place replacing the Even Stevens that used to be here. They have breakfast empanadas and tons of other flavors, including a rotation of monthly flavors as well. Their egg and cheese was delicious - light and not too filling. Can't wait to come back! read more

Where flavor and nostalgia meet! First thing you notice when you walk into Empanada .Co? That big orange couch and the fun Friends references all around--"I'll Be There for You," "Central Perk"--such a cool, unexpected touch. You instantly feel welcome. As we walked up to the counter, the smell of fresh empanadas cooking in the back hit us--and it was amazing. Here's what we tried: * Margarita - That mozzarella cheese pull was unreal. I should've recorded it because it just kept going! * Meatball * Ground Beef * Ham & Cheese - Their most popular, and I get why. * Chicken - My favorite! Perfectly seasoned with peppers and that flaky crust... chef's kiss. Each empanada is stamped with the name of its filling right on the crust, which is such a smart and fun detail--no guessing, just grab and enjoy! Each one had its own distinct flavor, all wrapped in golden, flaky pastry. We each had a bottle of Coke from the big glass fridge (love that touch), and I also had a cookie that I inhaled so fast I forgot to catch the name--whatever it was, it was delicious. We got to chat with who I believe was the owner, who mentioned they drop new empanada flavors every month. Next up? Hawaiian Teriyaki--yes, please! Can't wait to come back for that. The vibe is fun, bright, and laid-back. It's got that local mom-and-pop charm, with plenty of space and easy parking. Super wallet-friendly too, which is always a bonus. They had some amazing-looking pastries I'll definitely be back to try. Bottom line: This place is there for you... especially when you need something flaky, cheesy, and made with love. read more

I was very impressed with how delicious and flavor each empanada was. The service was friendly and educational, she helped me make a quick decision. The 90's mechanic look was fun and different than what I'm used to seeing. The big garage windows brought in light and made the colors brighter. I would recommend if you are wanting something easy to each and flavorful! read more

I am so happy to contribute another 5 star review!! I have been missing an empanada restaurant, but now there is one that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! And take a minute to speak to the owner, she will truly become a dear friend!! Where to start... The Pastry is so light and savory, but it does not fall apart. Not doughy at all, it is everything a GREAT pastry should be. Then.....you get to what's inside and the flavors are so full and rich! I looked at the board of 17 (yes 17) different ones and how am I supposed to choose, so, I asked the owner to choose her 3 best ones and bring them out. She did and brought out a Ground beef, a chicken, and a ham and cheese, with a small cup of a house chimichurri dip and a house fry sauce like dip and a house red sauce salsa like dip. The Ground Beef: The first bite I took was this one and it was so succulent, flavorful and rich. The seasonings were robust but not over powering and it tasted like a best home cooked dish. When I asked her about it she smiled and said "that is my mother's recipe" No wonder it was so good! The Chicken: Think of a roasted chicken that is picked and then mixed with seasonings and spices and vegetables and rolled into a tiny pie for one person and that is this one! (I guess you could share but I didn't want to let this one go either) Again with the richness of the flavors but chicken instead of beef. WOW!! The Ham and Cheese: The perfect blend of thinly sliced ham with melted cheese, all rolled up into a perfect pastry! Any kid ( young or old) will love this one too! I was actually kinda sad when this one and all of them were gone. I tried all of the sauces on all of these and the variety of combinations were all delicious. In the end there were no sauces (or empanadas for that matter!) left at all. I also shared a cookie and a dessert croissant that was evil good, the kind you could eat a dozen of all by yourself. Both were amazing and disappeared quickly. If you want a delightful change of pace for a lunch or dinner that you could find something for every single member of your family, this place will be sure to please. Bottom line is if you want great tasting food, served in the perfect pastry, to enjoy while sitting on a couch or at a table with friends or on a nice shady afternoon patio, this IS, HANDS DOWN, NO BATTLES, THE PLACE TO GO! You are welcome!!! read more

Went there last week with my family for the first time and I can't believe I never been there before!! The restaurant is simple but so cute.. I can see it being a great place to go after work/ day off to enjoy a good Argentinian empanada and relax .. nice environment.. We got different empanadas and we all agree the cheese one and Hawaiian were the best.. I didn't like the chicken or ground beef because it needed more flavor for my taste.. they are soooo fresh the dough was so good! The staff were so friendly and nice. I'll definitely stop by soon to try new flavors read more

Love that an Argentine empanada spot opened up in sugarhouse! Being Argentine and from CA, it's hard to find Argentine cuisine elsewhere. The place is cute, open, and welcoming. Impressed with the chicken empanada, not greasy at all and flavors were awesome. Great Chimichurri! Valentina was so sweet and gifted me a Havana bizcocho. Yum! Fast and kind service. read more

I lived in Argentina for a few years and I'm on a perpetual search for good empanadas. They're not easy to find. But these are some of the best empanadas I've had ANYWHERE outside Argentina! I think what sets these apart is the dough - which is soft, flaky, and the right thickness. The ham and cheese in particular are very authentic - after I told the owner (who is Argentine herself) how good they were she told me they get the cheese from Argentina - and you can tell the difference. Also, their medialuna pastries are super good too (again the dough is perfection). I'm so impressed and excited to have a little Argentine flavor in Salt Lake City! read more

Wow! After living in AZ for 20 years, I never expected to find this little gem in Salt Lake City! Everything was delicious. I absolutely loved the chicken and ground beef! And do not even get me started on the cinnamon rolls! Delicious! Give this place a shot! You will not regret it!!! read more

Great empanadas.. we tried 5 different kinds and they were all delicious but my favorite was the potato and cheese .. wow... unbelievable!! And the dolce and key lime donuts were to die for .. !!! YUM read more

Excellent empanadas, packaged to go in a sturdy cardboard box with their logo (though it is blue not pink! ;-) ) Between Sugarhouse construction and Google maps confusion, getting there can be a challenge, but it is well worth persevering. Comfortable, relaxing setting, there is even a couch at which you could wait or dine. Very welcoming staff. Service not rushed. Next time I will see if they have chimichurri and try one of their delicious looking pastries. read more

Jackie was friendly and very helpful. The food was excellent. After eating there we got a dozen more to go. They are that good.

Food was great and service to match. We will be back. Highly recommend. Jackie helped us and she was very sweet with our boy.

This place has a lot of charm. The staff are very friendly and the empanadas are delicious. It's a great place to go instead of your typical fast food. We will be returning! read more

We returned from Argentina at the end of January and immediately searched for best empanadas. So happy that Empanadas.co came up! The crust is light and flaky just like the empanadas we ate in Argentina! The fillings are super flavorful, once again just like the empanadas we had at The Gran Melia Iguazu. The owner is friendly and told my husband that some of their ingredients are imported from Argentina! I ordered empanadas in San Diego this past weekend at a place in Liberty Market which had high reviews. The crust was tough and filling had some sort of cheese in it that didn't come close to flavor in comparison. What a disappointment after having the best in Salt Lake City and Iguazu Falls Argentina! We've ordered take out twice from Empanada.co. They reheat beautifully in the oven! read more

haven't had an empanada this delicious since I left Buenos Aires. Fast, clean. Will be going back as often as possible.

Such a great location and even better staff. I've been here before and went back today. They were a bit understaffed but still provided great customer service. We had chicken, ham & cheese, and potato egg & cheese in our order and all were delicious. Looking forward to trying the chorizo next time! I love the option of sitting on the couch too! read more

This place is amazing. The empanadas come out hot and fresh and the staff is so helpful and friendly. Fair price as well. Would recommend.

Stopped by the juice place next door and saw this restaurant. Owner was super friendly, his wife is from Argentina and all the empanadas are made fresh! We got the ground beef and buffalo chicken and was blown away by its quality and flavor. Best empanadas I have ever had in Utah! Will be coming back whenever I'm craving authentic empanadas! read more
