It's been a year since I last visited and still remains to be just as good as before. One of my favourite spots for empanadas in Toronto! Empanadas: Always fresh and hot! The flavours are still just as good as before. Highly recommend trying a variety of their flavours, especially the lobster and the braised beef. Most flavourful fillings and doesn't skimp out on portions. The Nutella empanadas are now the 3 smaller empanada. Churros: The churros themselves are amazing. It's unfortunate, though, the dulce de leche sauce that comes with it decreased compared to before, but it's still pretty good flavour wise. Overall, I highly recommend checking out The Empanada Company for delicious bites and at a reasonable price. The place is more of a takeout spot with not much seating but still worth the visit.
Ok so since my first review, I have been back twice! Having tried out the different flavours through their smaller menu empanaditas, we have now been ordering their fill size ones. I think I've tried ALL the flavours by now and their churros too. My latest visit, got the curry chicken, cajun pork, smoked chorizo, and bacon-gouda-apple. My favourite here is the fried bacon-gouda-apple. Such an amazing mix of flavours and the empanada dough is thin and crispy because it's deep fried. Definitely recommend trying this one. Don't know if you can tell from my pics, but these 4 empanadas all have different doughs for the crusts! Unique flavours in every empanada, AND dif textures and flavours on the outside too. The crusts of the curry chicken and smoked chorizo are more dry, but the filling I find has enough moisture. The cajun pork is spicy (has jalapenos) and kind of smoky - a lot of flavour packed into an empanada. Of these 4, I liked the smoked chorizo the least. Next time I will probably opt not to get that one. I think I tried the lobster last time and told myself I wouldn't order it again. Not sure if the lobster flavour was for me, I'd rather have the classic seafood one. I discovered this place through groupon, and am so glad I did! Delicious and has lots of variety. You can tell I'm a fan, as I've been back a few times already. They're currently cashless (which makes sense), and credit card is no-tap. I recommend calling ahead, and then picking up. If you don't live in the area, it's worth making a trip out of this! Head over to Marie Curtis park for a scenic stroll by the river.
Cute little spot with authentic empanadas - great tasting little snacks, a combo of at least 2 or 3 makes a good light meal For those that prefer a thinner "clam" vs a heavy thick encasing, you'll appreciate these. I got the Chilean Beef, Creamy Spinach, cheese & grilled veggies plus a side coconut shrimp! All tasty & handy for quick mess-free eating. *Sometimes they will have frozen empanadas available for sale - ask at the resto Features a take-out order booth with 3 small tables on their outdoor patio
First off, let me give a shout out and thank you to fellow Yelper, Mary T. for piquing my interest to try The Empanada Company. I was fortunate enough to find a Groupon after reading Mary's review, which saved me some $$$. This cute little storefront was a bit of a trek for us, so I waited for a nice sunny weekend to taste these little bundles! Parking is always a major concern, and plays a huge part in where we eat! A quick Google street view showed me plenty of parking right on the street. The two gentlemen at the cash were super friendly and welcoming. I read about the deep-fried avocado fries and thought heck, why not! We ordered the lobster, braised beef short rib, curry coconut chicken and Cajun pulled pork empanadas. Now what? Baked or fried? Decisions, decisions! I am not good with that, especially somewhere new. Okay, two of each, done! It didn't take long for our order to be prepared, and the moment I finished taking pictures and Yelping, I heard my name. The avocado fries were very delicate, and I would have preferred if forks were available. They fell apart easily. It's understandable; they are buttery little slices after all. Avocado is bland in general so they definitely needed a dip. The medium-spiced spinach and chipotle was divine, but I was concerned it might be too spicy for me, so we were given a second dip on the house (thank you). The mild artichoke and asiago dip was definitely up my alley. The dips were fantastic with the empanadas too! The deep fried empanadas were not greasy at all. I personally found the crust on the baked ones a bit on the dry side, but if I had to choose again, I would go for the deep-fried versions. Our favorite empanada was the braised beef short rib. It tasted just like homemade beef stew. If you're hungry, I would suggest two empanadas each, and one shared side dish. Oh, the 100% All Natural Pure Mango Juice was very refreshing, and the perfect choice to cut down on the richness of the meal. Curry Coconut Chicken - $4.00 Cajun Pulled Pork - $4.00 Braised Short Rib - $4.00 Lobster - $5.00 Avocado Fries with dip - $7.75 Mango Juice - $1.50 Disclaimer: Groupon - $9.00 for $16.00 worth of food was used.
No brainer five star. Called in Sunday morning because I'm an early bird, guess what , they said they are open at 11 and actually were! Amazing! Dude was super cool said call in your order because not everything is readily available. Order dozen empanadas mixed and they were ready within 15 minutes! Got there no wait! Also tree sauces. Everything was amazing! Every empanada was delicious and all the sauces. Beautiful lunch! This is how you take care of business! I'll be back often!
We got an assortment of mini empanadas and they were all fantastic. We got them to take to the park with us, but these guys would also be great for a cocktail party. The mini ones are the perfect finger food to accompany drinks. No mess, easy to share, and each filling gives you a different flavour. We are very happy we found this place. Enjoy!
I have a love for empanadas. The first time I had one was in Miami. My friend and I got a couple each, and I got hooked. It has come to the point where I like picking up a pack of beef or chicken empanadas from Longo's because I love them so much. I got a few Groupons for The Empanada Company. I have used half of them recently. I am thankful for hearing about this eatery. Otherwise, I would be deprived of this fabulous place. The Empanada Company is a convenient drive down highway 427 from my workplace to Lake Shore Blvd West. I can get my fix after work. Yay! You either park on a residential side street or along Lake Shore Blvd West if you can snatch a spot. I parked on Branch Avenue the first time, just off Fortieth Street, which is where this eatery is. Yesterday, I parked on Lake Shore Blvd West, steps away from Fair Grounds Cafe. The place is a small converted house. There is an equally small patio area. Inside, there is a long table with four stools. Yes, it's tiny, too. I fit in just fine, thankfully! There are TVs where I would think that the menus are supposed to be displayed. However, they were all off. I rang the bell on the table and a man instantly came over. Ah, if that were true and so simple to get a man to appear that fast in real life! Anyway, I grabbed a paper menu and looked at all the empanada varieties. I used my first Groupon towards four empanadas and got the following: - Braised beef short rib - Lobster - Smoked chorizo sausage - Curry coconut chicken I returned yesterday and got two: - Chilean beef - Braised beef short rib I got two different guys behind the counter who helped me out during both my visits. They were helpful, friendly, and personable. Some empanadas come fried only, such as the lobster and braised beef short rib. You can also get some varieties baked, which I did with the smoked chorizo sausage and curry coconut chicken. If you have the option for either baked or fried, and don't know which to get, you can simply let the staff decide for you. These empanadas are large and generously stuffed with filling. The only one that I didn't love as much was the smoked chorizo sausage, simply because it had mushy chunks of potato that I didn't want and the chorizo wasn't yummy to me. However, the other flavours were outstanding! The lobster is like a creamy pot pie in a compact form. The curry coconut chicken is to-die-for delicious! I have been in love with the braised beef short rib from the start that I ordered it again. I typically eat more chicken than beef. However, I tried the Chilean beef and it is so good that now I am conflicted. I love it just as much as the braised beef short rib. The empanadas are incredible. This tiny gem of a place also serves beer, such as Corona. It does take some time to make the empanadas. I was fine waiting there. It took between 8 to 15 minutes for me. Otherwise, you can call in your order and pick it up later. When I ordered four empanadas, they came in a box that couldn't be closed. They were securely taped. It didn't matter. I tore into one as I drove home. Yesterday, I got two, which came in a paper bag. One word: yum! I am sold. I don't need to go back to Miami for my empanada fix. The Empanada Company will feed my ongoing empanada addiction. (157)
Loved the empanadas and Tamales! Empanadas - Tried the chicken, coconut curry chicken and the buffalo chicken which were awesome. The creamy spinach was just good not outstanding. Tamales - Being a fan of tamales had to try them out - They were out of the chicken tamales. So tried the portobello and black bean which I loved. Also the asiago & asparagus one but did not enjoy the flavors the way I loved the black bean. This is a takeout place mainly with few seats outside. It was a 15-20 mins wait time for takeout. Definitely coming back to try the other options!
Don't mind me, just updating my review to 5 stars because I dropped by last week and finally got myself a lobster empanada! The cheesy goodness was a long time coming, but so worth the wait. The restaurant seems to be doing pretty well in the circumstances given their focus on takeout to begin with, and that's a relief because I don't know what I'd do if this place ever shut down. I was able to place my order over the phone and pickup was hassle free. They are allowing only 1 customer in the restaurant at a time due to space restrictions, which I can appreciate. I should also note that I ordered churros on a whim and they definitely hit the spot! At this point, I don't think there's anything on the menu that's not worth a try.
Yum yum! Found this place through Groupon and what a deal! $16 off. Got 2 dozen mini empanadas (one chicken and one cheese). Many great reviews, friendly and seems like they've been doing this for awhile.
Place was found via Groupon originally and the first couple of times going (pre ordering) there were no issues. When attempting to order the same thing again (Fried beef empanadas) they keep telling me they don't offer when I had not only seen others order no problem but was also even confirmed through their social media page. Highly disappointed and HIGHLY do not recommend! Especially in customer service, they've totally dropped the ball and I hope they drop too as there are many businesses who would have accommodated such a simple request (of diverging they already make and do daily)
First time having empanadas that aren't home made and I was really impressed! They have take away options and we were happy with the fast friendly service. As it was our first time trying this place we asked for recommendations from the server. He said the pulled pork and short rib were pretty popular and we went with the leek and prosciutto and bacon and cheese one. All four were really flavourful. Would definitely go back again when I'm craving that crispy pastry with delicious fillings!
This is one of those times I don't care how authentic these empanadas were, all I have to say is the empanadas from The Empanada Company were just so tasty!!! Choices if you want traditional: Chicken, Seafood, Cheese and Chilean Beef or if you want to have something with a twist: Curry Coconut Chicken, Grilled Veggie/Goat Cheese, Sweet and Spicy Beef or even Philly Cheese Steak or Pulled Pork?! Baked or Fried??/Dips on the Side? I left all these choices for my Yelp Friend while I just relaxing on the patio...daydreaming..... I want one of those houses down by Lake Ontario... 2 cute fat little empanadas just appeared in front of me! Sweet & Spicy Beef and Curry Coconut Chicken both really tasty!! Baked or Fried whatever but the fillings were so tasty! Freshly made and pipping hot!! especially the beef, I still could not get over that it has sugar snap peas, water chestnut, baby corn and broccoli inside!! They are just like little pocket of goodness and wholesomeness!! Hey!! But where is my Churros?? someone didn't get me Churros? How can that happen!! I felt so incomplete without my dessert........... now I have to come back for more!!
This a small take out only place with small standing room inside and a couple of tables and chairs on the outside. There are a ton of variety. I tried their special (elote) , and the braised beef short rib. The empanadas are fairly big, and I love the thinness of the dough and that it's well stuffed. They were also tasty. I'd go back to try other flavours. read more
Delicious fried and baked options and even mini corn dogs at times! Highly recommend pre ordering or wait times are 20+ mins for walk in orders. The fried empanadas are light & flaky and not at all greasy and the baked feel lighter and maybe a little less airy. I loved the baked spinach with oats on top, so flavourful. Mini corn dogs are only available for walk in or call in orders, not through apps. If they served this with an apple jelly it would take me back to a fair. The Chimchurri is delicious and they have other dips but honestly, the dips aren't necc in my opinion, the food is very tasty on it's own read more

If youre trying to be healthy, but looooove fries - you should visit Empanada Company. Their AVOCADO FRIES ($6.75) ARE TO DIE FOR!!!! They make this fresh to order. They do have variety of dips to choose from - i.e. chipotle, and chimichurri dip (which I definitely recommend) And if you wanted to try their empanadas, you shouldnt miss out on the empanada that has BASIL, PROSCIUTTO & MOZZARELLA !!!!!! All of these together with PHILIPPINE MANGO JUICE in can ($1.50 each), and you got a perfect afternoon snack!!! Their located 2mins away from Marie Curtis Park so you could enjoy eating your empanada there too!!!! read more

We tried the Bacon, Smoked Gouda and Green Apple Empanada and also the Lobster one and they were both delicious! They pack the empanadas with a lot of meat and ingredients so you definitely get your money's worth and they are really filling. The lobster bits were very generous and both empanadas tasted really fresh. They also were able to make them the perfect amount of crispiness, while it was still soft and didn't dry out. Overall really good and definitely would go back. read more

If you frequent Woody's Burgers you may know of the little place right behind if you've ever had to park on 40th or nearby when the angled parking on Lakeshore is full. This place is basically a counter where your order and can possibly eat your treat inside or if you prefer more room you can go to the deck right outside and have it there. The Empanada Company has quite the range of flavors and ingredients which basically make it so they have something for everybody. Like bacon or chorizo or something traditional? The menu has what's traditional and what are more diverse choices for Empanadas. What's that? You ordered 4 different kinds and you don't know which is which? Look on the Empanada itself. I had one with chorizo and it was "marked" with a spade so you can tell which is which. Others have other symbols on them so you can tell. I sort of wish the Pie Commission did something like that because taking home frozen pies and not knowing which is which is sort of a bummer. My Empanada was ordered with about 3 minutes to close on a Friday. It was served steaming hot with a flaky crust and a nice taste. For about 4 bucks it's not exactly good bang for the buck but they do have Empanaditas (mini) that you can order by the dozen for about a buck each or so. Also on the menu they have chicken tamales and churros. Overall I like Empanadas as a snack but if you're hungry this place won't fill you really unless you have at least 2. Still they well constructed, not overly crusty and taste great. All around this little place has a lot to offer if you're taking it out or taking to go. They recently had a Groupon offer as well which looks interesting. read more

Delicious empanadas, but the shinning star of the place is the avacado fries. I don't know how they do it but they are delicious. We had the curry, braised beef, and buffalo wing empanadas, all every good. read more

Yet another spot that I revisited since it was still cold out, but I'm only now writing a review for. The Empanada Co. is located right 'round the corner from Fair Grounds/Woody's Burgers. So if you feel like a snack or light meal pre/post coffee &/or burger...you may have a tapeworm! Anyway, I noticed that they got rid of their "combos" since my last visit. They no longer have 2 Empanadas + dip/drink for $4.99. :( Now most of their empanadas, depending on their filling, are in the $2.75-$3 range, with the lobster one at $3.75. You only get a "deal" if you buy like 3+. They also added tamales for $4.75, but I wonder how big those are?? Empanadas come either baked/fried and they're slightly smaller than a beef patty. I guess they're cooked beforehand 'cause when I asked for my Smoked Chorizo empanada baked, guy behind counter said it was only available fried. Friend ordered Pulled Pork. Although both empanadas tasted fresh, we both agreed that they were a bit bland. Lacked SOMETHING along the lines of spice or other seasonings. Bonus for hypertensive/obese peeps tho'! Pastry is more or less tasteless. Minus stars for removing the combo deals. I understand slight increase of prices, but it irks me when restaurants take away deals completely...at least deals that make sense. I am not buying another empanada just to get $0.75 off! read more
My bf decided to take me here since I wanted to go in the area for a few things and wasn't sure what to expect, but actually ended up enjoying the range of empanadas! I decided on the chicken, and the seafood empanada. The seafood and chicken empanadas were packed with flavour and filling! For our sweet tooth - the chocolate banana empanada which was very filling and oozing out with melted chocolate! You really can't go wrong with this place since there's none quite like it. If you're in the area I'd definitely recommend! read more
This is my absolute favourite empanada place! I've pretty much tried everything. From empanaditas to tamales, churros and empanada dessert! I love them all. I've been coming here for years. The place is really small and it has limited seating place a bench and stools inside and a tiny patio out in the front. The only thing I will complain about is that it does take a bit of time to get your food - that's why I give it 4 stars. So if you want your food right away I would suggest calling before hand and placing your order. read more
Just tried their Queso Fresco Tamale: "Pockets of corn dough stuffed with queso fresco, roma tomatoes, corn & baby spinach. Served with Chimichurri sauce. This dish screams fresh flavour and their chimichurri sauce is the best I've ever tasted, now I'm craving it again! This dish is vegan and Gluten Free , the only vegan option on the menu but I think I'll be back and order it again and again, it was so satisfying! I hope one day they'll make vegan empanadas, would love to try them. read more
