This was my first time coming to this particular empanada restaurant and my boyfriend is super picky and loves this place so I knew it would be delicious! Only thing that was kind of frustrating was we went to the one by the mall, but there was no parking inside so we left and came to this one only to find out it closed in 10 minutes! Lol Needless to say, I like how those do a branding of the empanada stamp on the front of each empanada so you can tell which one is which. Very clever and makes great pictures! Lol The guava and cheese empanada I had was delicious, but I didn't taste any cheese per se, unless it was mixed in with the guava itself. It was delicious and tasted like fresh guava nothing from a can or a job. I can't wait to come back here in the morning and try other empanadas. read more

This is a must-go every time I go to The Grove Farmer's Market. Such a great stand tucked away but not too hard to find. Good variety of flavors of empanadas. My personal favorites are the Dulce de Leche and the Filipino Beef! Yesterday, I went back and go the Dulce de Leche as a midday snack. Perfect snack and sweet treat! Prices are pretty high, about $6.15 an empanada, which is my only gripe. However, they are filling and worth it. The people who work there are kind and efficient. This is a place I would recommend time and time again! read more

We got the half dozen empanadas and got to try a few different flavors. Our favorite was the ham & cheese and nutella ones. They have so many sweet and savory options it's hard to choose to be honest. The 6 pack comes with some dipping sauces as well. It's great that the empanadas say what type they are on them, otherwise good luck finding the right one read more

The empanadas here are ok and kind of overpriced. Each empanada costs $6. I got the Carne Asada empanada. The meat filling inside was flavorful and I enjoyed eating it with Tapatio sauce. Also tried the Chicken, Mushroom, and Cheese empanada and thought it was sort of bland. The breading on the empanadas were not that great. The crust was pretty hard and dry. Overall, nice to try if you want a small snack, but not the best empanadas I've had. read more

Overall, I would give this place a 4.5 out of 5, but rounding up since there's no 1/2 star options and for their massive selection of empanada flavor options; it's not easy to have so many variety of flavors and to master them all, so I give them credit for that. Service is usually good - friendly and prompt. If you are a Cedar's-Sinai employee, they give you a slight discount. I love businesses that do small "give-back" gestures like this as it builds a sense of community. There's limited seating inside and outside. I like how they serve the empanadas in take-out cardboard boxes so it is convenient to take any leftovers to-go if you cannot finish. I personally do like BAKED empanadas over FRIED because it is healthier and less heartburn inducing. Thus far, I have tried ... 1. Chicken Jalapeno (3.5/5) They use shredded chicken in this empanada, which was a bit dry, so minus 1 star for that reason. However, the spice seasoning combo was very good. The dough on this empanada was a bit thin and doughy, but the edges were nicely crisp. 2. Carne asada ground beef (5/5) This flavor profile is one of my favorites. It is seasoned very well and reminds me of eating a taco but in empanada form. The guacamole mixed inside was fresh and added a nice creaminess to each bite. 3. Samosa beef (3/5) They use ground beef for this empanada. Unfortunately, this one lacked flavor compared to the carne asada beef one, so was not as enjoyable in my opinion. 4. Dulce de leche (5/5): Who would've thought sweet empanadas would work out to be a nice sweet treat. Think of this as a nice crispy outer shell filled with warm, caramelly, and milky filling that's not too sweet. Delicious!! I will be returning to try out more flavors. read more

I was staying at Sofitel Los Angeles and happened upon this little gem a short walk up the road. The indoor seating space was bright and clean and there's a small section out front if you prefer that. Prices were ridiculously reasonable considering the sheer size of these empanadas. They were packed with filling and ate like a meal. Selection went from vegan to practically every meat imaginable as well as sweeter dessert options. They have some combo deals with 2 or 3 empanadas and a drink which felt like a steal. I enjoyed all 3 of my picks which included Salsa Verde Chicken, Carne Asada, and Korean BBQ. The Korean BBQ was out of this world good. read more

I was looking for a quick snack and came across Nonna's Empanadas. They offer a wide selection of sweet and savory empanadas. I took advantage of their combo for $12 and tried their Cuban and Cheeseburger empanadas. Their prices are on the high side, but these baked empanadas were very tasty and nicely filled. Staff was friendly and helpful. It is a very casual place. Overall, these empanadas were a great treat and snack. read more

The staff are friendly and efficient - that's saying something with so many delectable options. The empanadas are stamped with the filling name so you know what to expect.

I ordered the beef empanadas and they were a 10/10--super flavorful and baked to perfection. I really appreciated how generously filled they were (no skimping here), and the texture of the baked dough was chef's kiss. The staff was also super nice shoutout to the woman at the counter who gave us chimichurri sauce on the side. It paired perfectly with the beef and brought the whole thing together. Yes, they're on the pricier side, but honestly worth it for the quality and how packed they are with filling. I also loved how their display case highlights the most popular flavors it made choosing a little easier, but also made me want to come back and try more! read more

We ordered the beef empenada and philly cheese empenada. Our favorite was the philly cheese as the cheese helped bring out the flavor of the meat. Although the beef empanada was good as well, its flavor was more subtle. We would give the other flavors a shot too! The carne asada was top on our list but was sold out. read more

I've been eyeing these golden pockets of dough and deliciousness for quite some time now. But never had an excuse to come here... until recently. I was attending a potluck, and decided to bring empanadas from Nonna's. Online ordering is done through ChowNow. If you're ordering a dozen, there isn't really a way to checkbox more than one flavor. At the bottom of the page I just wrote it under the Special Instructions (5 beef, 4 chicken, 3 veggie) and crossed my fingers they would read it. You can also add chimichurri sauce on the side. I got a confirmation email after purchasing, and then a ready for pick up email at 1PM on the day of. I requested 2 PM, but the order wasn't ready until 2:20 PM, which ended up being fine because I arrived at 2:40 PM thanks to traffic. There was parking in the back and a handful of spots on Holt Avenue. I realized I didn't order enough for our vegan friend and bought an additional Samosa Veggie. The display case had a decent amount of options left over in the afternoon. Some flavors were already sold out, but the staff member offered to bake a new one (additional 20 minutes). Unfortunately they did not have enough ingredients for the Beyond Meat one, but I appreciated the offer. The outer layer had the right amount of thickness and toastiness. I'm more used to it being more fried and crispy, but these baked ones had a nice flakiness to them. The fillings for each one were generous, both the chicken and beef were flavorful. If I return, I'm getting the Nutella one! read more

If all the empanada here are like the two I had, I'm baffled as to how this place has a high review. Of the two, the Salsa Verde Empanada was the least disappointing. We found them to be really try and lacking rich flavor. We asked for a side of salsa to help lubricant them down our throat but the salsas weren't good... The variation of flavors available is really cool! read more

Located inside the mGrand Central Market, Nonna's got my eye from the long line. I was told they were fire, so I waited in line and ordered a couple. They have so many types of empanadas but are on the pricier side. The GCM is full of eateries with limited seating. You can dine in or take to go. The empanadas were just okay, but glad I experienced. read more

Friends kindly ordered variety of empanadas delivered to our door. There's something really delightful about getting an assortment of doughy pockets with a variety of fillings. In this case, some are hit and some are miss. Have tried several: Pepperoni - best so far. The oil from cheese + pepperoni really juice this one up Chicken mushroom - very good Cheeseburger - very good Cubano - not much flavor Chicken salsa verde - so so dry, hard to choke down. could not finish Spicy chimichurri - it's ok, not a lot of flavor. Need to use a lot to overcome dryness, and I prefer hot sauce given the calories in this. If you try this place out, recommend getting a variety so you can find your fave! read more

First time at the Grove and we stumbled upon Nonna's Empanadas. We were impressed by the selection of fillings they have to offer. From savory to sweet, they have a lot! We decided to get four to go and it came with sauce on the side. The flavors we got were Beef Jalapeno, Chicken Alfredo, Carne Asada and Philly Cheesesteak. Wow was I impressed by the different choices we had. I would say my least favorite one was the beef jalapeno and the chicken Alfredo or Philly cheesesteak were my favorite! The empanadas were perfectly made and the texture was so crispy! I would definitely come back for more! read more

Not tasty enough for $6 each! The Beyond meat was disgusting (had a peculiar flavor, I can't quite describe it.) I purchased 6, paid $36 with tax and the cashier was a little rude, crumpling my receipt as soon as it printed, instead of handing it to me. I purchased two Nutella empanadas (kids liked that one,) a four cheese with way too much non-melted cheese and the macaroni and cheese, which was a 5/10. The cashier was kind of picking his nose Won't be back, but wish them success. read more

I came to the market to have tacos which I'm so glad I did, but I was curious about the empanadas so I got the beef one but it was extremely bland.

He was informative about our selections giving honest feedback and attentive to the needs of our group. I will say the food not inexpensive but what food really is these days. We ordered a plethora of dishes. Starting with the tuna neck tin. While I'm new to the tin game, I couldn't imagine what a $90 tin tasted like, now I know and I'm not sure I can eat anything less. Appetizers we started with the baked scallop special with chorizo, the caviar fries and the caviar dip. The baked scallop was delicious and the cause dip with the salt vinegar chips was fantastic. I could still dip more chips in that dish. I chose between the mussels and the fried fish sandwich. Alex recommended the fish not because it was better than the mussels. But because you just can't get a fried fish sandwich like theirs. I agree. The fry breading they have is top notch and the size of the sandwich literally has me full still 7 hours later. I substituted the fries for a lightly dressed side salad and loved it all. Besides, other folks had chips and fries to share. Other dishes were the fried and cold lobster rolls. The bagel breakfast plate and fish and chips. We even got dessert which was the pistachios tiramisu and the strawberry cake. Both good but the tiramisu was next level. All washed down with a winter sangria Maybe that's why I am still full. See you again, saltie girl.

My meal It arrived like a quiet promise: a butterflied whole fish laid flat on a white plate, skin…read morebronzed and whisper‑crisp from a hot grill while the flesh beneath gleamed, flaking in neat, almost translucent ribbons--an immediate lesson in restraint. The first bite gives you that textbook contrast chefs chase: a thin, savory Maillard snap, then cool, silky flesh that still tastes of the sea rather than smoke, which tells me it was hit hard over heat to render the skin and pulled off at the precise moment before the proteins tightened. Grilled lemon halves, their edges caramelized, are doing real work here--squeezes of that charred citrus cut through the fish's natural oiliness--while the thin ribbons of pickled red onion and peppery microgreens supply the bright, acidic punctuation that keeps the palate moving. Slices of avocado act as a soft, creamy foil, lengthening the finish without smothering the fish, and the halved cherry‑tomato salad looks lightly dressed so you get clean sweetness and a crisp counterpoint rather than a soggy, overdressed side. From a technical standpoint I appreciate the fundamentals: even scoring or oiling of the skin to prevent sticking, careful timing so the flakes separate cleanly, and a sparing hand with seasoning so the brine of the fish isn't lost under salt or heavy sauces. Many places feel compelled to gild seafood with every trendy condiment; here, the restraint is refreshing and, frankly, rarer than it should be. Service matched the cooking: friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to steer us through the menu with solid recommendations, which matters when a kitchen is doing delicious things well. The restaurant itself is calm and clean, a peaceful setting with a bar that lets the food speak, and last time I was there they were in the process of securing a beer and wine license--good news, because this kind of balanced, grill‑forward cooking benefits from a thoughtful pour. In short, this meal stands out because it trusts the ingredient: confident grilling, smart acid, and honest accompaniments that clarify rather than compete, leaving you satisfied and already thinking about the next visit. As for the house-made salsa: stainless ramekins on a white plate, each with its own tiny spoon - bright yellow emulsion, lacquered dark reduction, smoky-red chile purée, and a chunky herb relish. The emulsion is silky and tangy, perfect for cutting fat; the dark sauce is sticky, umami-forward and built to cling; the red one carries smoke on oil and is medium-hot; the relish snaps with fresh acid and crunch. Important heads-up: one of these is a ghost-pepper style salsa - extremely spicy, slow-building and long-lingering, so use it as a finish, not a dunk. Execution is tidy: no broken emulsion, measured viscosities, portioned so flavors don't bleed - practical, disciplined work. In an era of one-trick "house sauce" laziness, this quartet gives you tools, not excuses, and it elevates whatever's on the grill without stealing the show. I'll definitely be back here!

Another 5 minutes later and we were seated. It took a while for a server to get to our table and when he did, I think he was upset he had to be at work? Or maybe it was us- but we had just been sat and didn't say any words? He was not the kindest or the most hospitable server. In fact, our food runner gave more warmth than he did. After he took our food orders, I don't recall him even coming back to the table other than to drop off the bill. If he had come back, we would have asked for another round of cocktails and another bottle of mineral water... but he did not, so we did not. Our appetizer dishes stayed on the table after being done with them and even *through* our main courses. So at the end, there was a massive amount of dishes on the table to be cleared. What was particularly annoying was watching how the other servers nearby were interacting with their tables. One even had to break the news to the diners that they were closing and as he did, he seemed genuinely sad over the shared moment but also very lively and that he wanted to be there. I wish he was our server :( I was interested in desserts or finishing with something sweet, but the thought of being ignored for a while longer was too much. I had ice cream at home. We left and quickly made our way into the awaiting Uber.

I stopped by for takeout after my doctor's appointment at Cedars. I've passed by this place multiple times during my visits and finally decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I went during rush hour, so all the parking in front was taken, and I had to circle the block several times before finding a spot. I ordered a dozen empanadas to take home to San Diego. The woman behind the counter was unfriendly and unwelcoming, which was frustrating, but I went ahead with my order. There were so many options to choose from that it took me a few minutes to decide. Luckily, no one was behind me at that time. When I asked for her recommendations, she seemed annoyed and gave a generic response, saying all of them were good. She looked like she was trying not to roll her eyes. Since I was famished and had a long drive home, I decided to order an additional two empanadas to dine in. She seemed annoyed when I asked for sauce and handed the box to a much friendlier guy behind the counter. While eating, I observed her being rude to a paying customer who asked for the bathroom code. He couldn't hear her initially and asked her to repeat it, and she snapped at him. However, she wasn't rude to some regulars and a man who spoke her language. When new customers arrived, she returned to her annoyed demeanor. Based on other comments, it seems others have complained about a rude woman, and I wonder if it's the same person. Regarding the food, I was disappointed they were out of several empanadas I wanted to try. The customer in front of me was told they'd make more in five minutes, but when it was my turn, I was told they weren't making any more. I jokingly asked, "Five minutes?" and she firmly said no. I asked if they planned to make more, and she insisted they wouldn't. Out of all the items I ordered, I found the Philly cheese steak, carne asada, and chicken mushroom empanadas to be the best. Everything else seemed a bit dry, even with the sauce. Despite the unfriendly service, the few empanadas I enjoyed were decent, but overall, the experience left much to be desired. read more

Nonna's Empanadas has been one of my favorite stops whenever I visit the farmers market at The Grove. Their empanadas are flavorful, satisfying, and make for the perfect grab-and-go snack while wandering through the market. There's almost always a line, but the employees do a great job of keeping it moving efficiently. They're friendly, quick, and clearly know how to handle the rush, which is always appreciated when you're eager to get your hands on some hot, fresh empanadas. That said, I've noticed a bit of a dip in quality during my last couple of visits. The empanadas have been somewhat soggy, and while they seem to be thoroughly cooked, the dough has tasted and felt a little underdone. They're still good, but I miss the perfectly crisp bite they used to have. Another change I noticed is with the sauce--what used to be included now costs extra. The sauce adds such a nice touch to the overall flavor, so it feels like a bit of a letdown that it's no longer part of the standard order. Even with these small disappointments, Nonna's is still a solid spot, and I'll continue to stop by whenever I'm at the market. The flavors are still delicious, and there's something about the experience of enjoying an empanada fresh from the stand that keeps me coming back. I just hope they can bring back that consistent, crispy quality that made them a standout. Until then, I'll still be in line--just crossing my fingers for that perfect bite! read more

Nonna's Empanadas is unlike any other spot in LA. They just released a whole new menu of empanadas from around the world. The Carnitas, and Fajita style empanadas are my favorite. The Chicken Jalapeño and the Corn empanadas are also ridiculously delicious. The Tomato-Basil and the new Whole Wheat veggie are pretty unbelievable too. I usually do their 3 empanada + Drink combo, works out pretty well. They have a relaxing little patio in front and it it BYOB...there is a liquor store next door so it works out great. A bottle of wine, a couple empanadas, what more can you ask for. I live 2 blocks away, and want to move closer to the beach...literally, the only thing keeping me in the neighborhood is Nonna's Empanadas. Crazy good! Also, the owner Mario and the staff are some of the friendliest people I have met in LA. They are passionate about feeding their customers quality food and are always in a great mood.

It is gonna take a half an hour. There are two locations of Nonna's one is located in the Grand Central marketplace in downtown Los Angeles. This location is at the Fairfax original farmers market. What started out as a five star review for this Place ended up being a two star. I came to the counter and asked if they were going to have any more Samosa Veggie. I was told it would take a half an hour so I sat down and waited for a half an hour, went up to the counter and asked do they have any available? They said the guy that baked them just went on break and it's gonna take another 20 minutes. That is totally unacceptable for them to tell me they would have some in a half an hour and then completely ignored me and just went ahead and did their own thing. THEY LIED TO ME, so this place gets a two star rating. I'd I'd rather go to the location in downtown Los Angeles. Don't ever come to this location. I can see why they got a low rating overall.

I was walking by and had never heard of Wildbird. I saw they have a $2 taco Tuesday. Who can pass…read moreon a deal that?! It's a chain, but that's OK. The quality is excellent, I love the layout, and it's spotless. The staff is super friendly, too! Oh the food? Freakin' great! The quality is top-notch. The $2 Taco Tuesday deal is for real, and the price is the same for takeout! The tacos are very small street taco size, two or three delicious bites worth. Other than the meat and cheese, the rest of the fillings are placed on top of the tacos. I've never seen that. It looks pretty, but I'd rather have it served inside the taco to begin with. It's sort of like having a salad on top of your taco. Oh well, I'm sure they have a good reason for doing it that way. They have plenty of other things mostly chicken related, but lots of meat free options too. This is high quality, healthy food, and everything is made fresh. Worth checking out, especially on Tuesday! Only metered street parking is available, so keep that in mind and be sure and read the parking restrictions.

I feel as if this place has so many options to help with a healthy meal and keep variety! I got the chicken tinga market plate while my girlfriend got pollo verde! The sweet potatoes that came with were really good! The broccoli was perfectly cooked as well! Will 100% go back!! The side sauces were good too!

I ordered a bowl with shrimp which was absolutely delectable and fresh, and he ordered the loaded fries with asada which was pretty good too! The avocado cilantro salsa was also a nice addition! Towards the end, our food was packaged for us and we were given more salsa, yaaay! They were so kind and treated us like family. This is one of those places to come back to again and again!

They have a BBQ Short Rib Burrito. Nuff said…read more Okay, maybe not. But it is super good, and what I always get when I go. It's especially good with some added avocado and some sour cream. I always take it home and put it on a plate because, thanks to short rib, it can get a little loose and fall apart towars the end. Not that you'll care; you'll just grab a fork and keep going. Oh, it's also a nice sized burrito. Not too big, not too small, good on its own. As for the place itself, it's small, only has a couple seats inside, and a couple more outside (though you're right on the sidewalk of Wilshire, so...) The staff are nice, and it never takes long to get your food, even when there's a line. Which there always is when someone is playing the El Rey right next door, so plan accordingly. As for parking, it's Wilshire, so it can be a little trick at night, but it's easier during the day when you can park on a side street.

Everyone who works here is so sweet and the prices are really good, especially for the neighborhood. It's a cute little spot but I usually get to to-go.

Excellent food and service. Authentic Mexican food. Great to grab on the way home from the beach!read more

It's just the right amount to kill the hunger without overdoing it. There's a small parking lot in back and hours are until midnight so it's a good spot for late night too. Service was fast. The room is pretty basic with counter seating in the windows and a handful of tables.

Great little taco shop at Fairfax & Beverly. It was everything I expected. The rolled tacos were…read moregreat with just enough guacamole and cheese to capture the taste without being too much that you felt the taco was a spoon to scoop the toppings with. The cheese quesadilla hit the spot with its over sized tortilla and plenty of melted cheese. Dipping it in the green sauce... yes. My Midwest taste buds went into over drive tasting quality West Coast Mexican food. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was a little on the small size. There were a few tables but this is mostly meant for take out. There is limited parking in the back so peak times may get tricky. Also, the stickers on the door indicate they take credit cards but the day I went was cash only. Glad I tried this place. Definitely would return if I was local.
