This was my first time coming to this particular empanada restaurant and my boyfriend is super…read morepicky and loves this place so I knew it would be delicious! Only thing that was kind of frustrating was we went to the one by the mall, but there was no parking inside so we left and came to this one only to find out it closed in 10 minutes! Lol Needless to say, I like how those do a branding of the empanada stamp on the front of each empanada so you can tell which one is which. Very clever and makes great pictures! Lol The guava and cheese empanada I had was delicious, but I didn't taste any cheese per se, unless it was mixed in with the guava itself. It was delicious and tasted like fresh guava nothing from a can or a job. I can't wait to come back here in the morning and try other empanadas.

This is a must-go every time I go to The Grove Farmer's Market. Such a great stand tucked away but…read morenot too hard to find. Good variety of flavors of empanadas. My personal favorites are the Dulce de Leche and the Filipino Beef! Yesterday, I went back and go the Dulce de Leche as a midday snack. Perfect snack and sweet treat! Prices are pretty high, about $6.15 an empanada, which is my only gripe. However, they are filling and worth it. The people who work there are kind and efficient. This is a place I would recommend time and time again!

Service is always nice here. They greet you and are nice! No complaints!…read more It's busy and sometimes the line is long. I always get the same thing, the beef one and corn one. But this time I also got the Cuban. My husband said the Cuban pork was soft and flavorful. He was pleasantly surprised. The beef always hits. They were filled so much the innards were spilling everywhere. Get the spicy chimichurri you will not regret it. The mild is just that. Mild. I can't eat spicy and even the mild was lacking for me. My friends got other flavors (pictured). I would come back and get the sweet ones next time. This is not a daily food. A 6 pack cost me $40. What I ordered: 3 beef 1 cuban 2 corn My husband asked why don't you yelpers post pictures of the insides. All I see is a whole empanada. I wanna see what it's filled with. So here are pictures of the insides. Hahahah

We grabbed a 6-pack of empanadas from Nonna's at Grand Central Market last Saturday as appetizers…read more They have so many cool filling flavors to choose from. We picked the following: 2 Chicken Jalapeño 2 Philly Cheesesteak 2 Strawberry Cheesecake They hooked us up with a $2.26 bundle discount for a total of $34.64 plus tax. Honestly, it still felt a bit pricey for empanadas. On the bright side, they looked beautiful, perfectly golden. They actually stamp the name of the flavor right on each empanada crust, which is super convenient, so you know exactly which one is which. For the taste-wise, the only ones we actually liked were the Philly Cheesesteak empanadas. They were really good and cheesy! The Chicken Jalapeño and Strawberry Cheesecake ones were just mediocre and lacked flavor. Overall, they look amazing, but I've definitely had better empanadas elsewhere.

This was my first time trying World Empanadas in Burbank, and I'll definitely be back…read more The gentleman working at the window was super friendly and made the whole experience really easy. I wasn't expecting there to be so many different empanadas to choose from, so I took a while deciding. He was really patient, answered all my questions, explained the different options, and gave me some great recommendations. I ended up getting the Beef, Chili Carne, Chicken, Spicy Potato, Santa Fe Chicken, and Spinach & Cheese empanadas. They were all really good, and I liked that they let me choose from three different sauces/salsas to go with them. Everything came out quickly and was packaged really well. They even included a list showing which empanada was which, which I really appreciated since they all looked pretty similar once they were in the box. I actually came for the empanadas, but they also had fresh pasta and decided to give it a try. I'm really glad I did because it was excellent. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, the sauce was delicious, and honestly I'd come back just for the pasta. There are still a bunch of things on the menu I want to try, especially the sweet empanadas, so I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Great food, friendly people, and a really welcoming experience. I'd definitely recommend checking them out!

I really wish I knew about World Empanadas sooner because I just found out about it and I have been…read moremissing out on some amazing empanadas! I ordered a dozen empanadas for the take and bake option. I love the take and bake option because it is like having freshly baked empanadas in my own kitchen! I baked them per the directions on the website and it worked perfectly. The take out window was very convenient and online ordering was easy. World Empanadas has so many empanadas flavors to choose from. I tried a bunch of flavors and I liked all of them! My favorites were the Santa Fe chicken, breakfast, spinach, and the chile con carne. They all had amazing flavor. The order came with a big serving of chimichurri and that was a nice addition to the empanadas. World Empanadas also has breakfast burritos that I am interested in trying next time. Since I don't live close, this is my new stop when I'm going to Burbank airport. World of Empanadas is amazing and I highly recommend getting their empanadas!

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Nice variety of sweet and savory empanadas…read more I was looking for a light meal at the farmers market and their empanadas caught my eye. I got a Beyond beef (juicy and flavorful) and a Pineapple cream (not too sweet, with large pineapple chunks in an amazing custard cream sauce). The pastry was a bit dry for the savory one but not for the sweet one--apparently the slight dryness is a good complement to the gooey filling. They obviously have more options for non-vegetarians, but it's a good spot with something for everyone. Fast, friendly service too.

Nonna has a wide variety of empanadas anywhere from vegetarian to meat to savory to sweet. This is…read morehow good they are. I am now waiting for the Samosa vegetarian. They are out of them. It is gonna take a half an hour. There are two locations of Nonna's one is located in the Grand Central marketplace in downtown Los Angeles. This location is at the Fairfax original farmers market. What started out as a five star review for this Place ended up being a two star. I came to the counter and asked if they were going to have any more Samosa Veggie. I was told it would take a half an hour so I sat down and waited for a half an hour, went up to the counter and asked do they have any available? They said the guy that baked them just went on break and it's gonna take another 20 minutes. That is totally unacceptable for them to tell me they would have some in a half an hour and then completely ignored me and just went ahead and did their own thing. THEY LIED TO ME, so this place gets a two star rating. I'd I'd rather go to the location in downtown Los Angeles. Don't ever come to this location. I can see why they got a low rating overall. OWNERS OF THIS LOCATION TAKE NOTE YOUR EMPLOYEES LIE TO THE CUSTOMERS.

Food: 2.5/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 I had an appointment nearby and wanted a snack before going home so decided to try some saltenas, aka Bolivian empanadas. It was a cute hole in the wall, and I could see someone hand kneading and rolling the dough in the kitchen, which was heartwarming to see. I love different cultural foods that make LA what it is today. I ordered: Beef saltenas (3/5) - dry overall, sweet and savory veggie beef stew inside; comes with a watery green sauce Chicken saltenas (3/5) - similar to beef saltenas Cheese empanadas (2/5) - 90% bread with a bland, thin spread of bland cheese. It was puffed up and empty. Rollos de queso (1/5) - so dry, almost choked, little to no cheese & all bread Cuñapes (1/5) - tastes like a sweet version of the brazilian cheese bread appetizer at fogo de chao, except this is one is super dry as well and makes you cough for water I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately missed the mark. For a little over $20, it was definitely worth trying but I wouldn't go back.

Super tasty * Silpancho - thin breaded and fried beef with over easy eggs, potatoes, white rice, and purple onion and tomato salsa. Super tasty. This was my favorite dish * picante de pollo - chicken stew with white rice, potatoes, and purple onion. This was flavorful and the chicken was nice and tender * alfajores - Carmel cookie with coconut shavings. This was a flaky, buttery cookie with Carmel in the middle and coconut shavings on the side

We ordered the Fugazzeta and a pepperoni pizza--both were delicious, especially the Fugazzeta. We also tried the gnocchi and milanesa napolitana with Russian salad, and everything was flavorful and satisfying. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Before leaving, we grabbed desserts: bread pudding with dulce de leche, a dulce de leche cannoli, and alfajores--all really good. Only downside: I later noticed the receipt showed two chocolate volcano desserts instead of the alfajores I actually got. Not sure if it was a mistake or mix-up, but worth double-checking your receipt. Overall, great food, great vibes, and I'd definitely come back.

While walking inside Island Pacific Supermarket, I notice they are set up now right across the bakery. Josephine's new set up is a small little booth serving up their delicious bite size empanadas. The options are beef, chicken and tuna. At the time the beef was sold out so I got one chicken and one tuna. They are priced at $2.75 per. The staff were so kind and welcoming I felt well taken care of. These empanadas look small but they are soft and flaky. They packed em well with protein and can fill you up. If you need something fast to eat these empanadas will do the trick. They are a quick service spot so I ordered a chicken and tuna one to go. I enjoyed those delicious empanadas in the car and was left smiling. I'm a fan for sure. Thanks, Josephine's! ( ^_^)b

The chicken and apple cinnamon could use improvement according to my taste. I support small businesses so I will definitely come back for more. I hope to see more goodies they could offer in the future. The service was good and the ambiance was clean.
