    Six Empanadas Combo
    Melani S.

    Found this little gem when looking for fun foodie places in the area- my son loves empanadas so it was a must try during our day out. We got the 6 pack, mix and match, and the spicy and regular chimichurri sauces. Our favorite was the chicken and spicy cheese, after that it was the ham and cheese and pepperoni- we didn't particularly care for the beef, but that is probably personal preference, and the chicken was a clear front runner for us. The flavors were great, everything was fresh and we enjoyed trying them. They also have frozen ones to take home and bake, which I thought was super cool. Service was good- she was patient and friendly, and everything came out quickly. The place itself is very small, with limited seating and one group of 4 took up both tables for some reason, but thankfully there were a few seats at the window left. We enjoyed it and would definitely go back.

    Good food for good price. $15=2 Empenadas, soda can, chimichanga sauce, and chocolate-mint gelato dessert. Not too shabby Super clean shop. Two tables inside to eat w a long window table for singles. Table outside. Clean bathroom. Plenty of parking. Near courthouse, airport, and Winchester. The empenadas themselves were tasty.

    The place is small but ideal for takeout, DoorDash, etc. For eating in they have a few small tables to eat at and the place is very clean. Before I start out with my review my family is from New Mexico and was brought up making Empanadas for the holidays. I had no idea that everyone makes their dough differently. I now that everyone fills them with their own family recipes but I assumed the dough would be the same. That being said I was really not a fan of them. I was brought up with a sweeter dough and more filling. But on the other hand my husband who was brought up in California absolutely loved them.

    Great tasting empanadas, I had chicken, beef, bbq pork all were super flavorful. The chimichurri sauces were also very good, I had the med heat and spicy heat. The dough was also very good on the empanadas. The girl at the front with colored hair was super friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is clean and kept up, I highly recommend this spot and I can't wait to go back and try some of the sweet empanadas.

    Chicken empanadas, Malbec beef and 1 ham & cheese. Yum

    I was driving by and saw an "Empanada" sign. I thought that was weird being that this area is basically an Industrial Park. Stopped by to check it out and got the 3 empanadas for $13.25, 1 beef, 1 cheese & jalapeno, and 1 chicken (which I had asked if it was white or dark meat and the guy said it was white meat). Beef empanada: Nice and beefy w a hint of olive taste. Chicken empanada: This was just ok. I don't think this was white meat though bc it had that chicken thigh "taste" I don't care for, but if you don't care what part of chicken it is, you might appreciate this. Cheese & jalapeno: I liked this one the best out of the three that I got. The cheese blend was delicious with a tiny hint of heat (wish it was a lot hotter). Spicy chimichurri: Herby and tangy, helped elevate the empanadas. This wasn't spicy at all for me (I have a very high tolerance for heat). Guy at the counter was super nice. The inside was very clean. They even have Argentine pantry goods you can buy. The empanadas are good and I appreciate that there's another empanada spot around here.

    I nearly drove by this place since it's located in a business center. This place has been on my bookmarks for a while but they're closed on Sundays and I usually try to go on that day. I did get 1 dozen of empanada ($51) for my family and I to try during our vacation. I chose 6 chicken and 6 beef, and with buying a dozen they give 2 free empanadas so I chose a pepperoni and a bbq pork each to try. It came with four containers of regular and spicy chimichurri salsa to eat them with. There was no wait and they packaged my order quickly. The pepperoni, bbq pork, and the chicken were my favorites. My family liked the beef more. All the empanadas were seasoned nicely and were filled completely. They have a few tables to sit, along with several Argentinian coffee and items to sell. The staff was nice and the place was clean.

    Surprised to discover an Empanada Shop in Murrieta and decided to give it a try for the night's dinner. Hoping to indulge in some tasty empanadas, with a salad, and a glass of sangria. Upon arrival I immediately noticed the establishment was well devoted to Argentina with Messi jerseys and photos; flags; various Argentina dried goods; and a Futbol match on the television. The staff were extremely friendly and customer service oriented. Purchased the six pack option with one additional empanada for free; Selecting two Spinach, two Chicken, one Beef, one Mushroom, and a Pineapple as the freebie. Visually the empanadas were very appetizing, but feel tragically short on construction and taste due to the thin crust and the fillings that appeared to be processed meats. The evening fell short of my expectations due to the mediocre empanadas provided and the house prepared chimichurri sauce was sour and tasted like pickle juice. At approximately $5.00 per empanada I would expect far better quality, and not factory produced frozen food quality.

We had some of their beef empanadas $3.90 each, and a gnocchi de la casa (House gnocchi) with chicken $17. The beef empanada was filled with beef, eggs, and olives and had a nice sweet and savory balance. The gnocchi was good although the chicken was a bit tough. We also ordered a side of their French bread, which was warm and soft. I dunked the bread into the creamy tomato sauce in the gnocchi dish. The restaurant offers inside and patio seating, and it has a casual yet cozy ambience. I would come back to try their other empanadas and maybe their pizza. They also have beef and chicken milanesa, breakfast items, salads, sandwiches, pasta, and even a case of pastries and dessert! I need to come back and try their baked goods and fruit tarts.

It was a late lunch so I called to see if a reservation is needed for 2 ppl. Not at all so we jumped into the car. Such a wonderful restaurant in an unassuming plaza. Lots of parking. There's an outdoor seating area and a good size restaurant inside. We were greeted as we walked in. Btw, the HUGE glass door entrance, I love. There Were a few open tables and we were welcome to sit where we wanted to. Two classes of water were brought to the table and a waiter came with the menu. My mom is vegetarian and I am not. I asked the waiter for his vegetarian dishes and he provided me a pasta dish. That was exactly what my Mom was wanting. Linguine with a light pink sauce with mushrooms and you can add zucchini, bell pepper and broccoli. I ordered a sangria. That was just amazing itself. And a linguine dish with shrimp. Warm, sliced French bread and a small dish of butter was brought out first that was so good. Usually the bread and butter that is brought at small restaurants like these could be just mediocre or not good at all. This was warm and just tasty. We also ordered a Caprese. The plate came out with big chunks of mozzarella tomatoes, and both were sitting on a marinated pesto covered set of basil leaves. That was so good. The combination of the vinaigrette, mozzarella basil tomato pesto was exactly what we were looking for so refreshing. Our entrées were huge for $20 a plate. We had to take 3/4 of it home. That was so not expected. Pasta and the pasta sauce were amazing. Very freshly made. Dishes were made to order only and not sitting around. I asked if they were doing something special for birthdays and I pointed to my mom next to you know, the waiter came out with fresh homemade Tim. They also sing to my mom wish she was so sweet. I am loving this place and will be coming back. Thank you so much for the staff for making my mom feel so wonderful on her birthday. The food was amazing Services amazing.

The parking is easy in a small shopping center,, we didn't even need to use Pym particles to shrink the car to fit into a spot. There is indoor and outdoor seating, so we chose outdoor seating, so we could dine in alfresco and the service was excellent. Both the main server and her assistant consistently checked in on us and made sure our drinks were filled. Service is very friendly and they basically had Spidey-sense for exactly when we needed refills. We ordered their chef special steak, which is an Argentinian grilled ribeye, but with an Italian sauce. We also ordered the shrimp, which is also a fusion of Argentinian and Italian. The flavor team-up was so good it felt like Tony Stark and Bruce Banner working together in the lab. For an appetizer, we got an empanada. This is one of the best empanadas we've had, as the crust was very airy and crispy, but not heavy and overly dense. Excellent texture and flavor,, honestly mighty enough to lift Thor's hammer tbh. Also, ordered Argentinian sausages. Excellent texture and bold flavor. It may not have a spicy kick as an Italian sausage, but quality meat and insides. Dr Strange would happily take us on a tour inside and out of this sausage with his yellow portal openers. Oh wait, we are the sausages, so guess he can't. Interestingly, enough, we didn't think that bread could be so excellent! We are big fans of French and Vietnamese style baguettes that are slightly crispy on the outside, but very light on the inside. The bread here was crispy on the outside, but also light and a little chewy on the inside, but in the best way possible. So it has its own flare and flavor. We asked, and they indeed bake this in-house, and you could definitely tell! They mentioned that they make their sandwiches with this baguette bread that is baked on premise and in-house, so we will definitely have to come back and try it again. That bread is basically the reality Infinity Stone of the menu. Excellent food, excellent service, and excellent ambience! Kinda as relaxing as chilling at the Avengers compound after a long mission.

I saw their pizzas which got my attention, but when I visited, I opted for one of their Argentinian (sausage or choripan) sandwiches and an empanada. I thought both were very tasty and the bleu cheese empanada I got was interesting. Never had one with bleu cheese before - at least from what I can remember. The bread on the sandwich was great! Not sure if they bake it in house, but it had a nice slight crunch and chew. Just note that this place operates as Furnos and Guido Deli & Pizza. As I understand it, the old name is still up as a homage to the previous owner who served the community for a long time. The space itself is pretty chill. It's pretty tiny, so I believe most of their business is take out. There are a few small tables outside if you want to eat there though. I really enjoy small, family operating businesses like this and will continue and try to support these type of businesses as much as possible. Also, just a great spot to get some quick eats at a more than reasonable price. Definitely want to explore more of the menu and for sure want to try their pizza soon.

The market is small and cramped and packed to the gills with Latin American and Spanish goods. They have good looking produce, a nice big butchery, multiple freezers and refrigerators filled with specialty items that will make your brain work on overtime. The way the deli works for buying their prepared food is different from some. You must first place your order at the back counter. You will receive an itemized ticket which you must take up front to the cashier. Then, you return to the back to show your proof of purchase receipt and then you get your food, bagged and ready. The total wait for us was about 10 - 15 minutes, not bad. I get it, why they have to do it this way, but it is time consuming and inconvenient at best. We did get some empanadas. They are fried, not baked, so have an extra good crunch with every bite. There are two ground beef fillings, i.e. two different recipes. Three were the wonderful filling that has green olives (my favorite), and one that was described as spicy beef (that really was not all that spicy). Both were delicious, and their dough was flaky. This could easily become one of my favorite destinations for a reliable empanada. Besides the deli empanadas, there was a nice selection of empanada disc's (round pastry wrappers) in the freezer section if you are inclined to make and stuff them yourself, and frozen empanadas made by Goya in yet another freezer. I also convinced myself I needed to buy two tamales. One Guatemalan, the other Peruvian. These are sold frozen and are ordered at the deli counter. Haven't tried them yet, but I am excited because they are not so easy to find. Other products that caught my eye included a fascinating collection of sausages, chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage), Spanish linguiça, Spanish chorizo, smoked meats (Corte's brand), smoked herring, quail eggs, and other imported delicacies. Perhaps I will not need to drive all the way to La Española in Harbor City anymore for Spanish imports? They sell a very comprehensive list of Goya brand products and prepared foods. I grabbed a bag of ready to eat sweet plantains from the freezer as well. All so tempting. By the time I had perused the whole store and was headed to the cashier, my guard was completely down. There it was... freshly baked goods critically placed next to the cashier so you can't miss them. Soft crust baguettes and rolls in baskets, and small, sweet pastries and cookies in their bakery case. There were several pastries that looked very special, some featuring custard or quince filling. We, of course, had to buy some. I have already tested the one filled with the quince and topped with finely grated coconut. It was outstanding, not very sweet. The dough was lightly brushed with egg yolk for a rich, beautiful finish. These were super fresh and very tender. The baked goods are delivered fresh from an Argentinian bakery in Burbank. This is a great find! Not your usual small neighborhood grocery. I am very excited to return.

I have…read moretried chimichurri sauces from Whole Foods and Trader Joe's but they aren't really very authentic. A friend recommended seeing what El Gaucho might have, so I visited the next day. The market is easy to spot with a big street sign out front. There are only two parking spots in front, one is a handicapped space. There's plenty of parking around the back though. When you walk in, you will see the main market with lots of items and brands I've never seen before. Slightly to the right is their deli counter with lots of meats, cheeses, and other miscellaneous items. To the right of the entrance is a dining area, and another counter where you can order sandwiches, empanadas, pizza, French fries, and drinks. I was laser focused on getting the chimichurri and leaving since I was short on time. It is in plastic bottles in plain view on on top of the deli counter. I purchased the regular variety, but they also have a spicy version. I could already tell this was going to be way better than the other two sauces I tried. I've had it on a steak, and on my breakfast scrambled eggs, and it's in a whole different league from the grocery versions I tried. It looks just like a restaurant chimichurri, oil based with lots of herbs and spices. I just had a nice filet mignon with chimichurri at a good Argentinan restaurant last week, and this chimichurri is about 90% as good. I moved it from the plastic bottle it comes in to a glass jar which will hopefully help preserve it longer, and store it in the refrigerator. I now have no reason to look elsewhere for chimichurri. My friend visits here periodically and says the sandwiches are excellent. I'll have to return again to try one, get more chimichurri, and explore the market and deli to see what other goodies they have.
