I could kick myself! We stopped in here as part of the "Delicious Denver" walking tour (HIGHLY recommended, by the way...) and sampled the steak empañadas. They were absolutely terrific, and the accompanying chimichurri sauce was a flavor explosion! Paired with the house's Malbec, I was bowled over with the experience. The reason I could have kicked myself is that I made a mental note to stop by on the way home because they have frozen-to-go 10- and 20-packs. I planned to pick up some for later dining and completely forgot! Dang-it!!! Not the end of the world; I'm in Denver for a couple more days, but now I need to go back downtown! #FirstWorldProblems Highly recommended! read more

The empanadas were good, very tasty and done perfectly. The service was ok, pretty busy for lunch but not bad. The ambiance is friendly. They don't have pepsi. But they have wine and beer. Only coke products. read more

This was amazing. The food is very delicious and worth the price. Not only was service speedy for the amount of people they have working, they are always positive and patient, especially when you're new there. I got the Ham and Cheese and Cheese, Egg, and Corizo Empanadas and they were full of flavor! Don't forgot to pick up some hot salsa or chimichurri! I am coming back for more! read more

I'm not gonna lie; my weekend in Miami had me craving empanadas real bad, so when a friend cancelled happy hour on me, I felt like I definitely deserved a treat! These empanadas were very enjoyable! I ordered, spicy steak, ham and cheese, and chorizo+egg+cheese. They were very good, but definitely didn't blow my mind. Crust was nice and flaky, filled with tastiness inside. I would definitely say the ham and cheese was my favorite, if you want to know why look at my picture! Tell Me that cheesiness isn't sexy?!? I probably would try the steak quesadilla next time over plain spicy steak because well obviously I'm guessing that's cheese. You just really can't go wrong with cheese if you ask me. Also tried all three sauces, I have to say I would only bother with the green in the future. Chimichurri was good but the green was just so much better. Also a bit disappointed in the red because I was expecting a bit of heat but there was none. Next time I would also try the spicy chicken empanada too! Pretty good, about $4 an empanada so not bad budget wise either. read more

Popped in for a bite after seeing rave Yelp reviews, and I was not disappointed. I'm not a huge pastry fan, but when they're hot and fresh, pastries turn out to be a pretty good treat. Lazo's were fresh and served with a smile. I wasn't to the point of dessert, but nutella & banana? Yes please! read more

They were soooo good! The chimichiri was delish! A great tea selection to pick from. Cute,clean and friendly read more

Delicious little empanada shop. I had the (In order of preference): Ground Beef, Steak and Cheese, Spicy Ground Beef, and Spinach and Cheese. The breading was crispy and all the cheese was melted inside to a creamy finish. Was a little sad to hear they don't make the empanadas fresh, but are rather frozen. But at least you can buy them frozen to cook at home! Definitely recommend the chimichurri sauce and red sauce for a little added spice. I wish the menu had a meal bundle price, but $3.99 each isn't bad either. Would definitely come back, or buy some frozen ones to take home ! read more

Lazo Empanadas - Empanadas Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Delicious empanadas near Coors Field and Union Station. Lazo Empanadas is a small empanaderia located on the corner of 22nd and Larimer Street. You can also purchase their empanadas frozen in bulk to bake at home. To preface, I'm no empanada expert, and frankly never really enjoyed empanadas until I ate at Lazo's. For me, empanada's were always too dry and the outer breading always overpowered the interior stuffing. Lazo Empanada's are very different in that the outer pastry shell is much less dense and more crispy rather than bready. And it is this outer shell that has made all the difference for me personally, and converted me into an empanada lover. The light, flaky and crispy external pastry really helps you appreciate and enjoy the flavors of the internal stuffings. Lazo offers a wide range of different stuffings for their empanadas, all distinguished by the design along the edge of the crust. My favorite flavor that I would personally recommend is the SPICY BEEF EMPANADA, and the NUTELLA EMPANADA for dessert. Also of note is they offer their empanadas frozen to bake at home. I've only ever ordered the 10-pack, which comes packaged in a cardboard box. It stores very well in the freezer and they turn out just as good at home. read more

Empanadas were excellent. Quick service for both my wife and I who ordered beers and 2 different Empanadas. Dipping sauce was awesome!

Our second stop on the Delicious Denver food tour. We had an excellent beef empanadas with a Malbec. The empanada was so good we stopped by after the tour to bring some home for dinner! read more

Was on my way to that famous Denver bagel shop, saw Lazo and made a quick pullover. Great decision!! Comfy spot. Service was quick. Empanadas, spicy beef & chicken were awesome!! Get the red hot sauce!! Go here! read more

Delish. Our work is supporting local restaurants through Cater2me where restaurants deliver to our business. I drive past Lazo every day to work so I was excited they were delivering. The hubs and I got a combination of spinach, mushroom, chorizo and spicy chicken. The dough is flaky yet crispy and is as close to my favorite ever empanada which I had overseas. The fillings were perfectly seasoned and matched perfectly with the crispy dough. read more

Lazo's empanadas will convert non empanada lovers into ambassadors of this simple and exquisite bite. The fillings are refined; the steak quesadilla filling made me go back for seconds of more and the same. The fillings are inside a thin crusty super tasty wrap. The majority of empanadas I have eaten had a soft doughy exterior and were considerably thicker. This empanada is more refined and will make you come back to try all the varieties baked! read more

Visited the location in the Junction Food Hall. Very tasty, good selection, friendly service!

This was a decent place to grab a bite, I would definitely suggest it for lunch. I came in later in the night, so I was the only one there. The service was not bad, I quickly got my order. The vibe of the place was decent. I didn't feel rushed or unwelcome. The food was delivered hot. This is my first time tasting Argentinian empanadas, the flakiness of the empanada made for a great texture. Now the taste I was prepared to have this explosion of Latin flavor but this was the opposite. It was subtle, good tasting. But different. Being from the south I surely judge you by your Bbq and that's what I had. The bbq chicken empanada and the Spinach and cheese. While the host offered sauce, I declined. The Bbq chicken was different, I'm used to the strong sweet tang of southern bbq sauce, but again this was subtle. This played with my emotions. It was calming. What? Yes. It was personal. It didn't force me to call on all of my taste buds. Just to experience this now, this moment, this flavor. Definitely a mindful bite. The sweet empanada closed out this experience perfectly. Would I go back? Yes. 3 stars I feel like the size of the empanada and the cost doesn't pair well and the reason I said I'd recommend it for a lunch bite. read more

Found this place on Yelp and decided to check it out due to the rave reviews! Great spot for a quick bite! The empanadas were pretty big and filling. My boyfriend and I both got the promo deal which comes with empanadas, sauce and a drink. He had the chorizo egg and cheese, spicy ground beef, and fresh mushroom empanadas with the green avocado sauce ($15.25). I had the spicy chicken and the spinach & cheese with chimichurri sauce ($11.25). They came out super quick were hot and delicious. The sauces complimented them nicely. If you love empanadas definitely check this place out! read more

Love lazo! I live nearby and have tried almost all of the empanadas on the menu. The spicy beef is by far the best but you really can't go wrong. Gotta get the chimichuri sauce too! read more

This review is for the Edgewater Market location. Family was working this little eatery and although the lady had a little difficulty understanding me, my order was correct and she was smiley and friendly, that goes a long way. I didn't wait long at all for my 3 empanadas, 1 ground beef, 1 spicy ground beef and 1 spinach cheese. I also got a side of chimichurri sauce that was to die for, extra charge for sauces. I think my favorite of the 3 was the regular ground beef. The spicy was not overly so but was noticeably there. Spinach and cheese would be a great vegetarian option, flavorful and didn't need the chimichurri sauce in my opinion. All 3 shared the same crispy, slightly flakey toasted exterior. I'll definitely have to try their other options. read more

I have been a long time local summit county for almost 20 years. My family of four and I consisting of two adults and two athletic teenagers decided to try this company out for the first time. We ordered 70 plus dollars worth of empanadas and desserts with sauces alike. We received our order, and the empanadas that we received were quite literally as pictured below, the size of my 5 ft 1 in bodies, tiny hands.. between my forefinger and thumb.... Mind you this was supposed to have fun essentially, for adults and as stated online two empanadas per person is supposed to be average for an adult person on their website. I am 5'1. I weigh 147 pounds, and not even two of these would be close to a sufficient amount of food for one person let alone an adult or growing teenager. I called as well as tried to reach out to uber, who we got delivery from, and the owner was nothing short of rude, nasty and hateful to me. He would not let me speak or explain, he literally said if you don't like our empanadas then stop eating them right now and don't ever eat them again and we don't want your service anyways. He kept making nasty remarks to me although we were being very polite as we were just trying to see what could be done to feed our family as we just paid an upwards again, of $70 to do so and yet we can barely feed maybe almost one..... This is including the dessert that was ordered. To fulfill and sustain an adult human for supper. I'm extremely disappointed, and quite flabbergasted that an owner is such a specially supposed to be an authentic and local owner would speak to anyone this way addressing a concern about the quality of their products. Not only that, each and every feeling of these tiny empanadas, was almost jellied and seem to be pre-cooked or canned or something was just not right. Every single flavor was more than sour and I am more than familiar with empanadas as I have grown up with them in my life in my own culture. It almost tasted like sour sloppy joes in every single one. I would never ever ever consider going back there again. Accepting any of their refunds or any money from them and I highly recommend that you don't do so as well. I hate really really hate to be the bearer of bad news but being the human being that I am, honesty is always the best policy especially in customer service and especially in food quality issues. Good luck to each and everyone of you. read more

Tasty & fast. But really delicious. And the staff was friendly. I'm so glad I accidentally stopped in.

So flake and yummy. I had the ground beef w chimichuri sauce empanada, the chocolate caramel dessert empanada, and a glass of Malbec. I have to come back to try the other eleven flavors! read more

Pretty good empanadas here. Disclaimer that they're frozen and then warmed in this rolling oven that they have. The spinach and cheese was my favorite, followed by the steak and cheese quesadilla, while the meatier chorizo and egg and ground beef were a little too hearty for me. Was it out of this world five stars? No, but glad I tried it. An affordable dinner or quick snack. read more

Absolutely excellent place to get empanadas and/or Argentinian cocoa chocolate and what not. There's so many choices and what makes it harder to choose is how cheap and affordable the empanadas are on top of being fresh off the pan (you can witness the guy making them for you!) read more

This adorable little place was the 2nd spot on my food tour to Denver and it may have been one of my favorites. I thought it was funny the tour guide asked me if I knew what empanadas were because I was only Latina in the group but anyways upon arriving we sat at a large table to accommodate all 7 of us and we were served the ground beef enpananda with chimichurri sauce and it was piping hot but after a few minutes I dug in and ohh it was to flavorful! I'm honestly considering getting some shipped to my doorstep! I can't wait to try the sweet ones! read more

We were excited to see Lazo Empanadas at the Taste of Fort Collins Festival, in a street stall. We were told after a third store in Denver opens, they are headed to Fort Collins to start a store. We can't wait. I love the spinach empanadas and the ground beef with currants. My husband lives the spicy chicken and also the steak. The flavors are unique and the baked crusty is rich and flaky. read more

AmaZing! There's an Argentinian empanadas shop in Boulder that I may prefer, but just slightly. These empanadas are excellent. I got the ground beef, spinach, and something else...all amazing! Excellent spices in the ground beef, especially. Spinach made me think of a spinokpa (sp??) and is excellent. I got the cookie that has dulce de leche in the middle and that was really good too! read more

This place is SO good. I'd definitely say this is a nice spot for appetizers or a snack. With the price being 3.99 each, you could eat as many as you want and be full. They had many options and they were decent size. I got the steak quesadilla and chicken caprese. My friend got bbq chicken and spicy beef. I DEFINITELY recommend. read more

I almost missed this place driving by but it had a nice interior with high top tables if you like those. I wasn't very impressed with the empanadas though. They had a very thin crust and the inside left something to be desired as far as taste. Service was friendly. read more

I really enjoy South American food overall. Empanadas being one of them, I've tried them at different places and by far Lazo's serve the best empanadas. The cover was crisp and crunchy. I only had the savory ones but definitely going back to try their sweet ones too. I wish I had taken some pictures. But this place is totally worth visiting again. read more

Some friends and I were staying in denver for a night before flying out. We were unsure where to go to dinner and found that this was one of the only places still open into the night in the city. I just got 3 empanadas and didn't think too much about them but boy were they good! The outer shell was done very well and everything was cooked perfectly. The guy at the front was super nice and we enjoyed eating here. My friends one complaint is that he wish it was more food. We probably could have gone about 5-6 empanadas each of our funds were sufficient haha. read more

These empanadas are so flaky and delicious. The buttery, flaky pastry pairs so well with the fillings. We got ground beef, steak and chorizo and they were all fantastic. We also got two dipping sauces- a chimichuri and an avocado dipping sauce. They were both great, but I prefer the chimichuri. They have a huge selection of empanadas, which is great. They have an outdoor area as well, which was nice since we had our dogs. After ordering inside they brought the empanadas out to us. Overall, highly recommend this place and their super flaky and delicious empanadas. read more

This place was the first spot that I decided to eat after making my journey to the mile high city. I definitely was not disappointed with the flavor as each of the 3 that I got, spicy beef, beef, and spinach, were all filled with goodness that made me happy. The only reason that I didnt give 5 was because of the size of them. Im a big guy and was just more hungry after eating them! read more

I found Lazo Empanadas vendor from the Cherry Creek Farmers Market and Stapleton Farmers Market. On Sunday October 9th 2016, I decide to purchase 3 Empanadas from the Lazo Empanadas vendor. This visit was at Stapleton Farmers Market. I ordered the following flavors : * Ground Beef * Spicy Chicken * Beef Steak If I am NOT mistaken, 3 Empanadas, it was $10. YES, it comes out piping hot and with the Chimichurri Verde dipping sauce. I prefer the Beef Steak Empanadas and the Spicy Chicken Empanadas slightly better, though they can do much better in all the Empanadas flavors that I purchased. The Spicy Chicken Empanadas, has a slight kick of bite that I like. The Beef Steak Empanadas was doable. My least favorite was perhaps the Ground Beef Empanadas. The only disappointment I had was perhaps the Chimichurri Verde sauce itself. I cannot explain how it tasted like, but I don't fancy it at all. *SIGH* They will be opening their own BRICK and Mortar establishment soon, and perhaps I may return and see whether my reviews might differ. I do hope by then they will offer more Argentinian Empanadas and more options of the dipping sauce. If you find this Vendor, you can also purchase FROZEN Empanadas that is packed in boxes. Imagine that time, the patron before me, she purchased 20 boxes of FROZEN Empanadas for her family. Lazo Empanadas Tel : (303)-296-2851 http://lazofoods.com/ read more

Needed an afternoon snack on Friday and saw this place near our hotel. This place definitely checked off our two main requirements: tasty and light As a vegetarian I ordered the mushroom and spinach/cheese empanadas. The spinach empanadas we're good, but the mushroom empanadas are why I gave out a 5 star. They were amayuh-zing, I'll be stopping by again next time I'm in the area. read more

Deliciousness in a bundle of flavor!! I had the ground beef and spicy chicken empanadas, and of course, had to try the spinach and cheese too, just to try something vegetarian. I could just have eaten the crust, it is so amazing, but then the filling is out of this world too!! I went to the downtown location, and the service could not have been better. read more
