    Their empanadas are pretty decent! The breading is a little thinner and crisper than what I expected, more like Cuban style than the Argentinian doughy ones I enjoy but they were very flavorful! They have decent combos versus ordering a la carte and also make the scalloping of the empanadas differently so you can distinguish what you're eating-very inventive! Great little shop in the downtown area!

    Empanadas and sauces (chimichuri and spicy avocado).

    The good: - This place was close to the hotel I was staying and looked to be a quick option for lunch. - Empanadas were heated up after ordering. - 12 savory options to choose from. - The spicy avocado sauce was good. Then things went downhill from there. The bad: - I tried 3 different options (steak quesadilla, chicken, and beef). Taste didn't quite hit the mark. - $0.50 charge for each sauce. - Skip the chimichuri- oily and not much flavor. - And probably most concerning: the grab and go chops they sell were expired by 2 months.

    Steak Quesadilla

    I absolutely love this place. I can't tell you how many times I have been there and the food and service is always on point. I have probably tried every flavor of empanadas that they serve. Its a little building on the 16th Street Mall that is clean and well kept. It is mostly the type of place you grab and go but there is seating if you want to stay. I work in the area so I like to drop in for lunch and have done catering with them for the office. They are always friendly and work hard to fulfill orders in a timely manner. My favorite of all the empanadas is the Steak Quesadilla. The steak is tender and is accompanied by red peppers and onions with just a touch of seasoning wrapped in a crisp dough. Ham and Cheese is my second favorite. Full of melted cheese that gives the bits of ham a warm hug. The Chicken Caprese was delicious with chicken, cheese and tomatoes. Chorizo, Cheese and Egg is another outstanding choice if your hankering for a brunch type empanada. For vegetarians the spinach and cheese won't steer you wrong. Honestly, I have yet to find one that wasn't perfect.

    OK, it has been a few years since I have been here, and now I am asking myself, why did I wait so long. Hahaha. I had a beef empanada and a mushroom to start Both were so good and full of ingredients, the mushroom surprised me it was so tasty. I went back and got a spicy steak, yummm, I love spice.and another mushroom, ha. I guess I truly enjoyed that mushroom empanada. I will be going back. The staff were super friendly, they are made fresh to order so they come out hot. I love that. I got the chimichuri dipping sauce and the hot sauce. Both were delicious.

    Delicious empanadas! I cannot say more about them. They were crispy on the outside and had the best filling on the inside. I went in with a group of four and we each got two empanadas. I had the spicy beef and the spicy chicken. Both were fabulous. I had two sauces, the chimichurri and the avocado. I personally prefer the avocado, but Other people in my group prefer the chimichurri. Go big and get both! There is ample counter seating, and one bathroom on the inside. This is part of the 16th St. mall so there isn't parking right outside the restaurant. The service was fast and friendly. Gabriel and Jennifer were lovely. I apologize if I spelled either of their names wrong. We are visiting from out of town and all of us wish that we had this in our little town in South Carolina.

    Came here because was around the block from the hotel I'm staying and weather was awful to walk anywhere else. Glad I found this place. Is a bit hidden, but cozy environment. People here were very friendly too. Empanadas are tiny tiny tiny, tho, but delicious. I ended up staying longer so I could finish my wine, which was surprisingly good and the fact they serve beer and wine.

    Secret Sauce Empanada ingredients (vegan and gluten free)

    We we're at the 16th St. mall visiting the museum for black girls, and wanted something to eat. So, we walked over to Lazo and came in as a party of eight ordering about 15 piñata's, everything from vegan to meet options. Everyone enjoyed their food. The service is fast and the food is delicious!

    Honestly high quality empanadas, come out hot and flaky. Cheese ones are a little too cheese-heavy, but the chimichurri is great. Worth a stop for sure

    We sample 6 different ones
    Sherprina L.

    It is a no frill take out place on the ground floor of what look and office building. We sampled 6 different ones paired sauces. We decided to eat in the store, the empanadas were served warm, crust is flaky, the meat is warm. We took time to sample each one and they are delicious. We liked them all, but or favorite is the chorizo, spicy chicken and spicy ground beef.

    Their empanadas are good - I like the ones with beef. They are a bit expensive ( about $5 each) but they are worth it. They are not skimpy with fillings and the empanadas are oozing with delicious marinade - which made me realize I didn't need to order additional sauces I also bought the dessert one and I like the one with peaches- they are super yummy! The seating is arranged so that everyone is facing the window. Service is also fast and I highly recommend this place. You gotta try this one

    Was amazing food. I ate here two days in a row with different groups and had most things on the menu. The empanadas were made fresh and baked. Will be back.

    I have the bestest friends. I actually didn't go to this place myself but met up w some friends who…read moredid. I tried the corn empanada and the spicy beef... took a bite of the barbecue chicken. Everything was so tasty. I don't think I've ever had corn empanada before and thought the spicy beef was super flavorful. I do think it might be slightly smaller in size than another larger empanada local spot but I thought it was definitely less dry too. So happy that this place was yum and another place to visit when heading into Boulder.

    Came here for dinner with couple friends. Parking was easy in their lot. The interior has a lot of…read moreArgentinian elements which I enjoyed. We ordered couple empanadas and sandwiches. Cane Picante and Pollo de Chorizo Empanadas (4/5) - flaky and crispy, the filling is very full. Not overly spicy, but definitely got a little kick from the spices (slightly salty, maybe I should've ordered one spicy and one traditional instead). Milanesa de Carne (3/5) - I got a half order, the portion is pretty big, the bread was pretty good, but the breaded steak was pretty dry. Overall the sandwich tasted pretty bland without added chimichurri sauce. Choripan (2/5) - the lettuce in this sandwich looked very sad, also the sausage (cut in halves) was so small, half the sandwich was empty. Would not recommend. I would recommend the empanadas, but no more sandwiches for me.
