    11 Fresh Mushrooms 3 Steak 7 Spicy Chicken 12 Spinach & Cheese

    Super tasty empanadas within the edgewater public market! In my limited experience, these seemed on the smaller side, so I ended up ordering 4 and it was the perfect amount to feel satisfied. I went on a busy Sunday afternoon & the workers were friendly and had my order up within 10 minutes. Unfortunately they were out of two of the empanada options by this time, a drink option, as well as the avocado sauce I really wanted to try! I ended up ordering the steak, spicy chicken, spinach & cheese, and the mushroom. I would get them all again! They were very hot on the inside so I ripped them all open a bit too cool. Sometimes chicken empanadas can be dry, but this one was great. The mushroom one was the messiest because there was a lot of moisture/water within the pastry. The chimmichurri (spelling?) sauce was delicious and I wish they gave me more! Maybe 1 sauce per 2 empanadas???

    Yum!

    First time to Edgewater Public Market and Lazo caught our eyes as we made our round. It was a rainy late afternoon, so it wasn't as busy which we liked. The exposed ceiling and open concept is always nice ambiance, but sometimes it can get quite noisy, but it was a perfect day. Minimal noise and plenty of seats. Great service from the host, she was packing some empanadas while we waited for her. My boyfriend and I both got a combo. I had two empanadas - Spicy Steak and Chorizo with chimichurri sauce, and a Pellegrino, while he had Steak Quesadilla, ham & cheese, and ground beef with avo sauce and soda. Spicy steak - wasn't my favorite. I didn't taste the spiciness and it was quite liquidy. The chimichurri sauce did not go well with it. The sauce tasted more like Italian herb in oil rather than parsley & cilantro. Chorizo - loved it! I didn't taste the chorizo, but the melting cheddar did it. I definitely did not put the sauce on it lol Ground beef - it was decent per the boyfriend Steak Quesadilla - wasn't a big fan of it. It was very watery and didn't taste like a quesadilla Ham & Cheese - this was his favorite. Can't go wrong with ham & cheese anything! I think at this point, anything with cheese is good. I personally can't say too much about the steak quesadilla, but all in perspective. Would come back for the Chorizo empanadas though.

    Spicy ground beef empanadas!

    Everything about the Edgewater Public Market rocks, and Lazo Empanadas is no exception. I love the setting, and the entire venue is all minority-owned businesses. Kind, quick service combined with a variety of empanadas choices in a well-laid out menu makes for a positive experience. I enjoyed their Spicy Ground Beef (#2 on the menu) and Chicken Caprese (#8) along with the green avocado medium spicy homemade sauce!

    I tried the spinach, mushroom, and cheese and a chorizo, egg , and cheese with a side of chimichurri for dipping. Both were very tasty, especially the pastry. I got a little tired of all of the cheese, but that was probably because I ate a few bites of my sons macaroni and cheese while I was waiting on my empanadas. I'd definitely go back though- yum!

    Lazos is one of my go to spots for empanadas especially if I want something that's not corn based shell. It's pretty pricey for the size of the empanada but it's worth it in my book. The beef and spicy versions are very flavorful and goes well with the sauce they have. It's the right amount of saltiness and slight sweetness. The empanada shell is very flaky and boy it's temperature hot when it's ready! The staff is always amazing, and the Edgewater location never fails us. It's the perfect snack after our softball games at Citizens Park!

    Can't go wrong with a light dinner! This place is quick when it's right before dinner rush. Very friendly staff and there is a menu with each ingredient listed for every item on the menu.

    Really good empanadas! The dough is very light, fluffy and flakey on the outside. I found Maria empanada to have dry dough and it's not as fluffy as this place. The dough here is almost like pastry dough which I prefer. It's perfect to allow the steak quesadilla filling to shine. The chimichurri sauce was a nice compliment as well! A bit on the pricey end at $4.25 an empanada but they do a great job here! Not pictured was the fresh mushroom which was very good! The spinach cheese was good. If you're in the area, definitely come by!

    I will start this review by saying I am not an empanada fan. I have always found the dough to be super heavy/thick, and the filling so heavy - that I have never enjoyed eating them. Lazo may have converted me...or maybe I have just experienced poor empanadas (or both)... I had the chicken caprese empanada and it was flavorful, oozing with cheese, and the dough was very light and tasty. The person behind the counter was very helpful and made the recommendation for the chicken caprese. I am excited to come back and try more empanadas...and also really love this location at Edgewater market!

    I'm giving Lazo 4/5 stars for taste and 3/5 for price. Each empanada was around $4-5 but was slightly bigger than a dumpling IMO. However, these empanadas came out piping hot and were extremely flavorful. The pastry was crispy on the outside and chewy but flaky to the point I could peel back the layers! I chose the spicy ground beef, spicy steak, and egg & chorizo. I was a fan of all three, and the spicy ones definitely had a kick! The Edgewater Public Market is enforcing COVID guidelines including wearing a mask and social distancing. With plenty of patio space, your best bet is to bundle up and eat outside or take your food to-go.

    Came here on a whim out of supreme hunger, and I am glad at how convenient and tasty this experience was! The staff was very sweet and kind at explaining the flavors. I ended up trying the spinach and cheese, steak quesadilla, and chicken caprese flavors. Each of them was so tasty and the sauces made it even more flavorful! Would definitely come back to try the other flavors next time.

    The empanadas are flaky and so yummy! I prefer to make my own chimichurri, but they do have a couple of sauce options.

    I guess I'm not really a fan of baked empanadas. I didn't feel like they were cooked evenly and were burnt at the edges. Very meh.

    Busy takeaway located on 16th street. I ordered online while standing in the line. The quesadilla…read moreempanada was ok but the real star was the chicken caprese. I also ordered a side of green sauce and it was perfectly flavored. LOVE how flaky the empanada was. Ambiance was typical casual downtown fare.

    I visited Lazo Empanadas twice for dinner during a visit to Denver. My experience was that they…read morewere good but a little inconsistent. I would give them 3.5 stars if I could, but I'm rounding up for the great service. My first visit was excellent. Service was very friendly and helpful, asking if I wanted to bundle the two empanadas I wanted with a sauce for $10, a deal I had not noticed. I got a mushroom empanada, a BBQ chicken empanada, and a side of chimichurri. I was told it would take about 10 minutes for my order, which I appreciated for two reasons: (1) it set my expectation properly and (2) it meant the empanadas would be freshly baked. My empanadas were ready on time and were excellent. They were crispier than other baked empanadas I've had and had great fillings. The chimichurri was one of the best I've had, packed with herbs and the right amount of acidity. I thought the size of the empanadas was reasonable, with two being enough for the light meal I wanted. There were different staff there the second time I visited, and the empanadas weren't cooked as well. The bottoms were a little soggy. The atmosphere is spare but clean, with seating only at counters at the windows. But they also had a nice outdoor patio and a water dispenser inside, which are nice features.
