This place was great! Amazing consumer service, and the food was delicious as well! Definitely recommend!

So glad I checked them out! The food was amazing, and they were super nice. They even gave us some free samples to try. The place is on the smaller side, probably more focused on takeout, but it's super clean with several tables inside and some nice picnic tables outside if you want to eat there. Probably the worst thing about it is the name, which really doesn't represent the menu, and suggests Mexican (which it isn't). Absolutely check it out for yourself. read more

Outstanding sandwich shop with delicious house made ingredients. With extra helping superior service . It's a must try!

I would give this place a 10 but there aren't that many stars. Tony, the owner, is an amazing guy. He said his three goals when he opened the restaurant were 1.good food, 2.friendly and helpful service and 3. A clean restaurant. He knocked it out of the park. My wife and I had a great lunch. I will definitely eat here again when we are in town. Great job Tony and it was awesome to meet you. Bob read more

Very good service and food. The empanadas were good and the pastrami sandwich was excellent

Empanadas were crispy with delicious fillings and the backlava was a fun treat, but I have to mention the cashew-cauliflower soup and salad sides on the empanada samplers. The garden salad was rich with avacado, cucumber, and radish. The soup was seasoned so expertly. A friendly man in a power wheelchair was tootling by and we had a chat. He said to get the soup and was happy I already had a bowl, you must try it. Owner was courteous and helpful. Will be back! read more

First time visit. Delicious fresh home cooked empanadas. Sampled the cauliflower cashew soup and it was also delicious. The pistachio baklava is a must for a light finish to lunch. read more

Empanada Stop - 1 Chicken & 1 Beef empanada plate with Caesar salad. Delicious! - Burgers Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Absolutely delicious- fresh ingredients so flavorful and rich without being greasy. I had the vegan empanadas- very large portion only $12. served with enchilada sauce and pickled cabbage on a plate of perfectly cooked black beans. One of the owners, Tony was there, super kind and told me all about each dish I asked about. I'm going back for the Unami burger- great vegan options! read more

Amazing food. We were on our way to the airport and wanted to head some food. The flavors and quality were excellent. We loved the cashew soup, house salad, beef empanadas and pastrami sandwich. Wish we lived in Portland and could eat here on a regular basis. read more

Surprise, surprise. It took a family from Syria to make the best empanadas that I have ever tasted. Everything that is served in the restaurant from the sauces to the desserts, are made in house, and it was all delicious. I was also given a sample of their house soup which was so good that I had to order a takeout bowl. As an added bonus, the family who owns the restaurant is incredibly hospitable and I shall definitely return. read more

Excellent in every way- food, service, and portion sizes. Got vegan empanadas that were delicious with black beans, chimichurri, and pickled cabbage. Also got BBQ burgers with homemade buns and seasoned chips. They gave us free samples of butternut soup and complimentary baklava with ice cream too! read more

The Pastrami sandwich was recommended and it didn't disappoint. Attentive staff/ownership. Glad to have a place like this so close to home!

Delicious food. And service was great. Try their house soup and baklava dessert OMG everything is made in house! Bread too read more

Food is very unique and different. Service is amazing! And the atmosphere is great, as well.

The cheese and chicken empanadas are delicious. the chicken sandwich was also good. I will be returning.

Could not recommend more! Everything our group ordered was perfect, fresh and delicious. Service is outstanding, food was made fast and Tony brought out a baklava surprise dessert that was best ever. Our group ordered the macro bowl, all 3 kinds of empanadas, salad, soup, tri-tip sandwich and vegan empanadas- ALL of it was delicious. Clean, comfortable place that we are all talking about our next trip!! read more

First of all the service is amazing. The gentleman helping me at the counter is very polite and accommodating. The food is top notch. Everything made in house. Fresh ground meat, fresh made bread, house made sauce etc. I had the hickory bbq smokehouse burger and added a fried egg. I also had a beef empanada. Everything was delicious. I will definitely be going back. He also gave us a complimentary baklava with a scoop of ice cream! Also very delicious! read more

Fantastic, made from scratch food, with great service and a comfortable, clean dining room.

This place is a problem...in the best way possible. :) Food is so consistently amazing I am here at least once a week. Smash burger, prime rib sandwich, beef empanadas and the seasonal salad (right now the autumn salad with apple, beets, etc might be my favorite) have been my favorites so far. Also the soups have been great as well along with that very soft and tasty bread. Lastly the owner (Tony) is very friendly and you can tell he and the staff work very hard to make this spot something to be proud of. This is easily my favorite spot in the Gresham/Troutdale area. read more

Service was top notch. Very friendly and they gave us complimentary baklava and ice cream. Being born and raised in Glendale, CA I've had my fair share of baklava and it was alright. I've had better and I've certainly had worse. As for the food, I ordered a beef empanada and it went in the garbage. The outside of it was hard and the meat seemed overcooked. Maybe it was reheated, not sure, but not consistent with the other reviews, so a disappointment I'd say. My partner had a pastrami sandwich and that's where the 4+ stars come in. It was good. Really good. Bread was perfect, and by perfect I mean it doesn't cut the top of your mouth and it didn't get soggy at all. The meat was good quality and we'd definitely order that again. The chips were different, but delicious and fresh. I ate more of those than I should. Oh pickles were good too. read more

Delicious food, salad is very fresh and tasty. The pastrami sandwich with home made chips were perfect.

Started off with 3 empanadas. Fresh, tasty, great price, amazing dipping sauces. But will head back for a dinner sandwich! Fresh ingredients, everything is made to order. Clean, comfy (albeit small) establishment. The owner knows what he's doing!!!!! Cannot wait to go back! This is a brand new, hidden gem!!! read more

This restaurant is amazing! We were welcomed warmly and the service is professional and friendly. The empanada is delicious! I had the Chicken empanada meal which includes 2 mouthwatering empanadas and a choice of side. Go for the squash soup...everything is made from scratch at this delightful restaurant. There is also a gluten free item. The owner/manager brought baklava with pistachios and ice cream to our table, compliments of the restaurant. The ambience is cozy and low noise level. We will definitely be going back! read more

stopped by as we passed thru Gresham and were so surprised. very flavorful and fresh food! the empanadas were delicious, 10/10 recommend. the burger's flavors were balanced well. not the biggest fan of the chips as a side, but get a soup or salad and you are set. read more

So far what I've tried 10/10 it's just a bonus that the owners are so nice and accommodating. Definitely a new regular!

Absolutely stellar in every possible way. Tony is super awesome and very attentive to customers. You really wouldn't expect to receive the kind of food or service in a business in that type of location, and that's not a knock at all. The food was so good I'm going back immediately. I had a smash burger and chips and a Tinga chicken empanada. Both amazing, really. In all honesty, the smash burger is the best burger Ive ever had and if you saw me you'd know I've had a lot of them in my life. This place is an absolute gem and I couldn't be more blessed that it's here in my home town!! Thanks Tony!! LONG LIVE THE EMPANADA STOP!!! read more

Our first visit here. We were greeted immediately upon entering the restaurant. Everything looked new and clean inside. I decided on the prime rib sandwich and my husband got the Hickory BBQ burger. We didn't wait long before our food arrived at our table. The portions are good and everything tasted freshly made. The prime rib sandwich had tender meat which was perfectly balanced with the pickled peppers and spicy horseradish aioli sauce. My husband tried the hickory BBQ burger and thoroughly enjoyed his as well. I don't typically love chips, but these tasted freshly made and they were perfectly crisp with a sprinkling of sea salt. We were offered a sample of their soup and it was a delicious balance of rich and creamy with a little heat. I imagine it would be perfect on a cold day! We also tried the ice cream and baklava and it was SO good. Next time I intend to try the empanadas, which looked delicious from what I saw from the other patrons dishes. Thanks Tony and crew for making our first visit here so memorable. We will be back again soon! read more

Empanada stop is a hidden gem in Gresham! Flavorful and filling entrees with house made chips, amazing smoothies, and very generous portions. The service is amazing. I always love saying hi to Tony at the front when I come in, it is a great atmosphere. Everyone there works so hard and it shows in the food. I used to live right around the corner and would walk there regularly, so bummed to be moving away but I'll come in anytime I get the chance, you should too! read more

We found ourselves in Gresham at a track meet at Mt Hood Community College. After a long day of track and field we turned to yelp to find a yummy place to eat nearby. The Empanada shop was conveniently on the way back to the freeway to get us home. We stopped and were pleased with their menu offerings to satisfy all types. My wife and I enjoyed the empanada plates and our teenager loved his smash burger. I believe it was the owner helping us. He was very kind and friendly. The sauces that accompanied the empanadas were so good. The salads were not your grandmothers garden ir Caesar salad either. He gave us a sample of his cashew soup which was so good. Had it been a colder Oregon day, we would have ordered that. The. We had some of their baklava dessert. We highly recommend this place and are sad that it is so far away from our home as it is very tasty. If you live nearby or are passing through check it out! read more
