Empanada Factory…read more
What a great little find! Empanada Factory is a family-owned and operated business, and that warmth really comes through in the atmosphere, the food, and the service.
I first visited the location at 9320 W. Flamingo with a couple of friends. The moment I walked in, something about the place made me feel like I was back in DR. The cafe is beautiful, colorful, and has such a warm Latin feel to it that I immediately felt comfortable and welcomed.
And then, of course, there are the empanadas! They have so many different varieties, beef, chicken, shrimp, egg, and many others. The three of us each ordered one and then got an extra one so we could share and try another flavor. I was surprised by how filling they are! One empanada can definitely satisfy you, and everything we tried was very tasty.
They also have other Latin bites, including yuca and a potato ball filled with meat, along with pastries, sweets, cold drinks, iced coffee, and hot coffee. It's a great place to sit with friends, have a bite and a coffee, and try something a little different. The young ladies working there were also very friendly and added to the pleasant experience.
I enjoyed it so much that the very next day, on my way to a doctor's appointment, I thought of Empanada Factory when I wanted to bring something for the staff at the office. This time I called their Town Square location, which was more convenient for me, and ordered a dozen assorted empanadas, two of each variety.
They were a hit! Everyone at the doctor's office loved them and commented on how delicious and surprisingly filling they were. It turned out to be the perfect thing to bring and share.
So whether you're looking for somewhere different to meet friends for a casual bite, want an empanada with a refreshing iced coffee or a pastry, or need something delicious to bring to an office, business, gathering, or someone you simply want to treat, Empanada Factory is a great choice.
Great food, a beautiful atmosphere, friendly service, and plenty of variety. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!
