    Spinach Empanada

    Overall the service was 10/10! The food was fresh and very good. The only thing I was disappointed about was the WiFi. It was currently down so I could not stay for long. I would rate the buffalo chicken empanada my least favorite and the Saleta my favorite!

    We ordered four different empanadas. I was really excited to try this place because it's rated really well, but our food was not good. We placed an order for pickup and within a few minutes our order said it was ready. I knew right away, these were not going to be fresh. Not to mention the guy working wasn't very friendly at all. The bacon and cheese empanada was absolutely disgusting. I don't even know what kind of eggs those were, but we hated it. It had a strange taste and something was off about it. The vegan Al Pastor wasn't bad for vegan. I could taste soy "meat" a little. It was ok. The chicken and Buffalo chicken was ok. All 4 seemed not fresh and almost reheated. Disappointing and would not return. I felt like we wasted $20. I think the only thing that was really delicious was the chimichurri sauce. I did really like that.

    While in town my friend took me to this quaint restaurant for coffee. But the empanadas were the STAR and so delicious with homemade flavors. Also, the coffee was so good, not your usual store brand but imported. Service was quick and nice wait staff. All I can say is give this place a try folks if you're local to the area. The empanadas were really good and tasty. We tried the mushroom, broccoli, onion and spinach variety. I took some to go for savory breakfast!

    Lovely little place in downtown Homewood. Decided to go with a friend after working at the library. I ordered two empanadas and the woman working suggested I get the lunch combo (2 empanadas + a sauce + a drink) despite it being 3:30pm (not sure when they consider "lunch"). The chimichurri sauce was very yummy. So were the empanadas (chicken and 4 cheese). The amazing woman working also offered us extra cheese empanadas which was greatly appreciated! They have specifically listened vegetarian/vegan/gluten free options. Can't wait to try more of their empanadas!

    It's nice to have something like this in the area. The service was excellent. At the time of this review I unfortunately have forgotten the young man's name but he was very welcoming and informative. He walked us through the different options and even showed us how they were labeled in the box so we knew whose was whose. I really wanted the dessert empanadas but the case was empty at the time we came. We had corn, chicken, Turkey pot pie and vegan spinach and mushroom. They were all hot and fresh. The spinach was wayyyyy to overpowering in the spinach and mushroom so I ended up tossing that one away but they rest were all very tasty. I didn't try the dipping sauce it came with. Note: he mentioned it was one sauce per order and each extra was $.50 no matter how many people were sharing. As a speciality shop in Homewood I understand why these empanadas are $3+/each and to have them nice and fresh was nice but I do think they're a little pricey for the small size. It's a nice option to have when you want something different.

    Best empanadas I have ever had! And with the most fillings. Each had its filling stamped on the outside so that you know which is which. Friendly reminder staff. Tried spinach, beef, pork, sausage, and apple empanadas. Liked the beef and pork best. Sausage and cheese tasted like pizza. Also got mango gelato and other flavors at our table. Gave us generous portions of each flavor. Small restaurant with two tables and chairs inside, as well as a taller bench along the wall. Wheelchair accessible. I wish they turned the a/c on. Street parking rides in front.

    I was scoping out places we could pick up some good quality empanadas, and I was delighted to find this place outside of Chicago. Even more delighted to see the number of vegetarian empanadas they offer! We picked up a few to try, including the Vegan Al Pastor. Everything was tasty, and I loved their Chimichurri Sauce! I would definitely return for my next empanada craving.

    Empanadus does Affogatos! Seriously if you have not you are missing it. It's a scoop of gelato topped with a shot of espresso. The best thing happening to the Homewood coffee scene right now. Now for the Empanadas. They are tasty. Every flavor isn't my thing, but that's okay I'm sure they're all for someone. The vegan bean and potato is really good. And it's great to have options for my mixed diet household. And you can buy them frozen to bake at home. Seating is seriously lacking. It's good to just plan on it as a to go place. Street parking only. No cost for it, but spots can be limited depending on the time of day.

    I looooove Savory Crust. This location is for carry out only. There is no seating, just a pick up…read morewindow and I knew this ahead of time so it wasn't a problem. Their website states this as well. They have an online ordering system which I utilized and it was easy to navigate. My order was ready at the provided ETA too. I had the Argentina beef empanada and also the Ube horchata. The empanada is wildly delicious. Very flavorful. The crust is fluffy and crispy at the same time. The beef itself is seasoned and cooked perfectly. I had it with chimichurri sauce and it went well with it. The Ube horchata was meh for me. I wanted to try it though and I'm glad I did. Just isn't for me. I'll save room for more empanadas next time.

    You know when your mom or grandma makes the best empanadas, you low key have some hidden…read morepre-judgement when you try a new restaurants empanadas? Sweet Jesus! Let me tell YOU! These HIT!!!! These are some of THE BEST empanadas I've ever had!!! It's pretty hidden and pickup only. Total hidden gem vibes! My husband and I ordered a whole bunch! Hubby got 2 picadillo, 1 chicken pot pie, 1 Philly, 1 Argentinian chicken, I got 2 Argentinian beef, 1 chicken pot pie, 1 Philly, and 1 spinach and feta - we split the Brie bacon and cheese special one. We couldn't finish them all (so excited for leftovers tomorrow), but my husband loved his and I was literally dancing after every bite. The flaaaavors!!! My goodness they just pop! The Argentinian beef brought me so much comfort. My mother in law is from Argentina so I was curious how these would be! Every single bite was packed with flavor! The chicken pot pie was literal comfort food!!! A handheld pot pie? Yes PLEASE! They nailed these flavors! The spinach and feta was ridiculously delicious and the Brie bacon fig was the best combo of sweet and savory. There's just some restaurants out there where you wish you could give more than 5 stars, this is one of them. Their menu has many other things such as bowls, wings, and desserts....I can't wait to try more. To top all this off, you get your food so fast, and Nice employees! Now, stop wasting your time reading more reviews and go get you some of the best food ever!!! You'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't eat here.

    5 stars for food 4 stars for paying the bill…read more This is such a cute location / looks like an old lodge. Lots of wood and such an interesting layout. When you arrive there is a large seating area to the left, includes lots of larger tables for bigger groups. Then if you wind your way into the main area, there are tables that face outward on the first floor, a middle section with seating and then a balcony area. Really interesting restaurant that was fun to walk around. Our server was great - we had a large party and orders were taken and we didn't wait too long for food to start arriving. On recommendation we ordered the stuffed pizza - which is like a calzone. Lots of cheese, toppings, great crust and delicious red sauce on top! Not quite a deep dish but oh so delicious. We also ordered the Caesar salad, which was shareable and the garlic sticks! Food was hot, fresh and I can't wait to go back for the pizza! Only downside was we had to pay by table and all the drinks ended up on my check, which added a few hundred dollars. Overall pizza was amazing and I'll be back!

    If its good enough for the Pope, it's good enough for me!…read more Stopped here for lunch to get a pizza. I had heard great things about Aurelio's. I pulled up and parked in their huge lot! I walked up to the building and was immediately impressed. This place is HUGE! Never seen a pizza place this big! The building itself and all the nooks and crannies in the place was very impressive! The Pope room, too! So cool! I got seated at a table and went with a small sausage, well done, cooked in the old oven and had a glass of water to drink. How was the pizza? Different, but really good! The pizza came out and I dug right in. They do the toppings under the cheese here. The sausage was excellent! Some of the better sausage I can remember. The cheese was unique. I've heard mozzarella and scamorza cheese? It was tasty and I liked it. It tasted like the cheese skirt around some Detroit style pizzas (weird description, I know). The sauce is the only thing I wasn't the biggest fan of. Little too sweet. I ate 5 of the 8 slices and was on my way. Would definitely come back. 4 stars for the actual pizza, bonus star for the friendly staff, the building itself, and the Pope room.
