Im visiting from AZ and stating with my Sister un Homewood. Her coffee wasn't giving me what I needed so after dropping her off at work I searched for best coffee in Homewood and chose this place. Amazing coffee, scrumptious smelling empanadas and tasty looking treats. I wasn't hungry (have eaten too much while here) and didn't grab anything but coffee. I will definitely stop by here again during my next visit, which will be soon. I love the Ambiance and Service was efficient, professional and friendly. read more

Empanadus - Homewood - Brewed hot delicious Coffee that hit the spot - Empanadas Near Me - Homewood, Illinois

Operating hours on yelp don't match the stores posted hours it needs to be updated. The empanadas are frozen not fresh and expensive. Dipping sauce is extra, everything is extra. Tried it twice but won't be a third. I hate wasting money & I did going here. read more

Hungry for something different? Why not try this hidden Argentinian spot located in downtown Homewood off Ridge Road. Delicious options of Argentina called "Empanadas" protein in a taco pie shell. Service is great the owner is welcoming and friendly. Ambiance is mellow with Argentine music in the background. Not much seating but if you're lucky there is a table and also 3 bar stool chairs facing out to the street view. read more

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! read more

The bbq pork empanada was bomb, but the Salteña!!!! So good!!! staff is super cool too! Chimichurri sauce is fire! Im in town briefly from LA so this was a great find. One of the best eats in Homewood! read more

Attendant was really rude! Asked if they were going.to make more empanadas, he said no and that was an hour before closing. Purchased frozen soup, over priced. Won't be going back!! read more

Food was so good. Staff was really friendly. I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

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. read more

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! read more

Hot and fresh, made to order. We tried the banana and apple. Both 10/10. That being said, I have nothing to compare it to. It's small but great for a quick bite and on the run. read more

Very good food, the people at the counter were helpful and kind. It's nice to have an option to try another cultures food. 10/10 recommend .

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! read more

Great food and restaurant. Ordered the salsa, Onion, Broccoli, Mushroom, and Chicken. None of them were stale. I know they have to make them ahead of time, but when we got there it seemed like they were made ahead a reasonable amount of time. We came back a second time. They will let you substitute a coffee for the soda in the meal. read more

I had an amazing experience here and the cashier was very pleasant! She suggested her favorite empanada and it was the potato one and it was soooo good! I also got to try there lentil soup and it was also good! I will be back! read more

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. read more

Empanadus - Homewood - Empanadas Near Me - Homewood, Illinois

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. read more

Little pricey for how much you get, but soo good. The beef and the mushroom ones might be my favorite. And that sauce that goes with it just goes perfectly. They also sell yerba mate, but i haven tried it myself. read more

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. read more

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. read more

FOOD: I've only had a couple of their empanadas, but I like them! Mushroom has been my favorite (but I also love mushrooms). I also enjoyed my pork one. They come with a small container of sauce. They offer vegan empanadas and dessert empanadas too! Pretty cool. If you are looking to save some money, you can also get the day old ones for half off (be warned they'll be a little dry/stale). SERVICE: Great! Both times I've been here, the people working are very nice. AMBIANCE: Cute place! Not huge, but has enough seating to bring your friends. OVERALL: Solid spot for a quick bite! Will come back. read more

Tried all there vegan empanadas and they were all really good. My fav was the mushroom and spinach and el pastor.i also bought several non vegan empanadas for the family and they all stayed they were tasty and will be back for more. The owner was really nice and the shop has a bunch of options and ice cream. read more

Awesome empanada restaurant! Was in the area for work and wanted something quick and easy (empanada to the rescue!) Atmosphere: super cute small shop right in Main Street with tons of free street parking. Looks like they serve coffee as well but did not try! Food: bacon empanada and chicken empanada. Was recommended the chicken empanada by the employee and it was really good! Great sauce and flavor! Got the non-spicy and still had a bit of heat like sheshuan-esque aftertaste. But Im very sensitive and would still re-order. Bacon empanada was just ok. Nothing to special. Ordered it because it was 11AM. Oddly enough the chicken was significantly larger than the bacon. Overall for a quick bite at an affordable price point i would recommend this empanada shop! read more

I have been trying to go to this place for a couple of months and never seem to have made it. Today I woke up early to get over here and check it out. It's a very nice local place very nice people working. I got there when they first opened it so I was unable to get the coffee drink that I wanted specifically because the person who makes the specialty drinks had not arrived to work yet. So that was definitely a let down so I had regular coffee cream and some flavored syrups the coffee was very good and like I said the atmosphere and the ladies were extremely nice. The owner gave me a apple tart on the house since it was my first time and it was delicious. We got some empanadas to go they were very good I will definitely go back here and try it again and I highly recommend if you like homemade empanadas you stop by and check it out. read more

Friendly staff, good variety of food and drink options, and fantastic empanadas! I love that they make non-fried, fresh empanadas in so many flavors! My favorite is the sausage with Mushroom as a close second! The gelato section is also very good with a bunch of flavors! read more

Do not leave Homewood without stopping at Empanadus. The reason I say this, the empanadas are great, but they also have the best coffee and pastries in Homewood. If you don't feel like an empanada, try their cappuccino. I used to go to La Voute, down the street, for my coffee but they got rid of their espresso machine. Empanadas is my new caffeine spot. The coffee is fantastic at Empanadus, and they have these small fruit pies in a glass case. They were amazing!!!!!!! We ate one, looked at each other,and then bought two more to go. Lastly, the chimichurri sauce... I'm going to ask them if they can come and fill my bathtub up with that stuff. Wow, is that stuff good (I drank the rest that was left over in the little cup, yummmmm). read more

We're giving this place a first try on Pi Day (3.14). They have a nice variety of empanadas. All of the combinations sound tasty. I'll have to let you know. In the meantime and in between time...the place is quaint and clean. There are a few seats for dining in. They have frozen empanadas and soups for later. Dessert...don't miss the authentic gelatos, alfajores or sweet baked goods. Service was awesome. Feel free to ask questions and get feedback on tastes, texture and pairings. read more

Definitely stop by Empanadus! We tried the corn, chicken, and sausage, all three of which were filled to the brim and had great flavor. The chimichurri is the perfect accompaniment to these hand held delights. The store itself has a warm modern vibe. Save room for the gelato-we had a combo of the mango with dark chocolate almond and it was spectacular! read more

I chose the 3 vegan options. Really delicious. I would definitely return. Friendly service.

Great place to stop for a quick bite. Delicious soup! Good food! Friendly service! Always consistent.

We have the chicken, beef, pork, and dessert empanada. The places usually busy but worth the wait. Great addition to Homewood. Glad they're here. read more

Delicious empanadas! We arrived at the location about 30 minutes before close and the selection was limited but the staff were sooo nice and offer to prepare us anything on the menu. I recommend a minimum of two empanadas but I had four. read more

Hi I was excited to try this place. Howeer the Empanadas are ompletely undewhelming. I am comparing this to another Spanish place i visited in Blue Island, Theirs wee excellent. This place does offer the best gelato. So this is the most appealing item here. Seaiting well... Not what I expected. Its a nice addition to Homewood's downtown scene. Too bad it just does not score high on the with taste buds for most folks. Especially me!! I do wish them the best of luck.. Maybe they can expand and get a better recipe for the empanadas in near future. read more

Update 3/26 - I placed an order today and was greeted by the amazing Victor and gentlemen from the Riverside location. They were so nice, great service, and the food was delicious. I placed a large order and Victor walked the order to my car (also he gave me ally of sauces for everyone to have with their empanadas:)). read more

Great addition to downtown Homewood. Fresh Empanadus made on sight. There are various flavors from Vegan mushroom & spinach to crispy bacon to a four cheese. Try it you'll like it. read more

I had these empanadas years ago before they had storefronts. I had them for Christmas dinner as a side, once. They are amazing! There are so many to choose from and each has its own delicious quality! Gelato is at the Homewood one, not LaGrange as the man said. I also purchased a box to bring home! read more

OMG Delicious almost homemade! One thing they miss on is the repulgue seam edge on hand-made empanadas. I have a thing for nibbling off the corners, which aren't as puffy on pressed seam empanadas, but I nitpick. They also need tiny gelato tasting spoons for use w the little cups of chimichurri. Fresh vs. dried herbs in the chimichurri would be better. I'd pay extra for that (hint hint). Not cheap, but not an everyday food so not too bad pocketbook sting, unless your family is Argentinian...

Amazing and very tasty! They even have vegan options. I highly recommend. My meat-eating friend enjoyed the empanadas too.

Good food but no AC was pretty hot and the drinks were warm even though they were in the cooling box

They are great empanadas. They have a very nice selection of flavors. However if you are eating for more than one person it will get kind of pricy. The service is good. Nice place. read more
