This is exactly the kind of place our communities need more of. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their food. Every empanada is made with care, and the attention to detail shows in every bite. It's a small, convenient shop that's easy to overlook, but once you try it, you'll understand why it's worth coming back. If you're looking for a delicious meal while supporting people who take pride in what they do, spend your money here. Small businesses like this add character, create local jobs, and make our neighborhoods more vibrant. They're the kinds of places that deserve to thrive. I highly recommend stopping in and giving them a try. I'll definitely be back. read more

Overall a total miss, I really hoped for more. Beef - not much filling. Filling tasted fine but there just wasn't much of it at all. Exterior was way too thick and overall not great. Apple pie - not good. Not much filling and wasn't a tasty crust at all. Mexican chocolate - so burnt, didn't taste good at all read more

I tried the Birria beef and the picadillo beef. They were both very small compared to other empanadas I have had. picadillo beef, honestly had more potato and veggie than beef. It also lacked in flavor. The birria one was tastier and had more meat. The green sauce on the side was tasty. They warm up well. I can honestly say I will not be going back, based on value and flavor. read more

Ordered a pack of empanadas for pickup today. The chicken empanadas didn't have much flavor as before, but I did enjoy the apple empanada which was still warm when I ate it at home. My husband enjoyed the Mexican chocolate one. There was a variety of empanadas in the glass display case. I could see workers behind the glass partition preparing them. Store has a few chairs out front for dining. Might be worth another try. read more

The stars are for the friendly customer service. However, I will not return. Empanadas are overpriced. A dozen is $55 !! I've never spent that much on a dozen elsewhere. Plus, the filling is not much, here. My spinach Empanada had lots of air in it ( not much filling ). The Empanadas were bland . No flavor at all ! read more

*I came in here 3 different times before updating my review. * Service has improved so much!! I just went yesterday and now they have three people working. The young girl in the front was very welcoming and friendly. There's always a crowd because that's just how good the empanadas are. I always get the potato empanadas and potato and lentil. They are 10/10 They do have variety which I love, because sometimes I just don't want meat but there's birria, chicken, and picadillo. I will definitely keep coming back!! read more

The Empanadas are scrumptious! In Dec. of 2024, we got a 12 Pack of Empanadas for $55.80 plus tax. You save 10¢ per each when you buy them by the dozen or a 6-pack. Hubby picked them up and brought them home for us to eat together. Our son & his wife liked them, too! I do wish the stamping on the Empanadas were consistently legible. It was difficult to determine what some of them were. There were 12 flavors which include 10 Savory and 2 Sweet ones. These are the ones we got: *Chicken Ancho Cheese *Bean & Cheese *Birria Beef *Chicken Chipotle *Picadillo Beef & Cheese *Lentil & Potato (Vegan) *Potato Rajas Cheese *Ham & Cheese *Chorizo & Potato *Apple Pie Churro *Mexican Chocolate Goodness Unfortunately they were out of the Spinach & Cheese, so I didn't get to try that one. I don't care too much for Chorizo, but hubby likes it, so he got an extra one to substitute the twelfth flavor. I sampled seven of the empanadas. The bread surrounding each savory empanada has a nice chew with a little crunchiness around the crimped edges. So good! Each empanada is full of flavor and so tasty! They have a Cilantro Sauce and a Salsa Roja to accompany your empanadas. If you join their rewards program, you will earn 1 point for every dollar spent. And when you sign up, you'll earn 25 bonus points! There are also other incentives posted on their website. We need get some more soon! I still want to try the Spinach & Cheese Empanada. It sounds so good, the spinach cooked with garlic & butter! read more

I am so excited that this place is open again to go in and order to eat or to order big and take home! I've been wanting to come back in here for a while, but I had moved to a different town and usually don't come by here when they're open. But today, although I wasn't planning on coming in, I saw their sign on the sidewalk I said that's it I must! There are so many choices of flavor combos. It's really tough to decide. But since I tend to eat more vegan now, the choice was easy and I went with the potato lentil (with additional red sauce). I did also choose a churro apple empanada For both of them, the chunks of filling are so satisfying and distinct that you can taste the individual items but at the same time, the flavors blend together so well. I love the empanada shell too - it is thin, but flaky and holds together perfectly! No tears or leaks! If I would've stuck with one, it would be the perfect amount to hold me over to my next meal, but since I both it was a satisfying meal! I probably could have even eaten two entrée empanadas. It was such a beautiful day. I sat right outside the restaurant. Since it was a Sunday there wasn't that much road or people traffic, so it was a nice break! read more

Absolutely loved this place! I was in the area for an appointment and the empanada shop caught my eye due to its distinct red store front coloring. Once I realized it was a sole empanada shop, I was super thrilled since I loveeee empanadas lol. When I walked in, I was greeted by a staff member and could see the number of empanadas they offered. You have the option of either ordering your empanada with a cashier or at the kiosk located inside the store. The staff member I spoke to was great and due to the restaurant having so many options, I asked which one he would recommend. I ended up ordering the Birria Beef empanada and it was hands down delicious. Inside of the empanada, the chucks of beef inside were delicious and flavorful. The empanada itself is a pretty good size as well and the chimichurri sauce gave it the perfect additional flavor boost. I definitely plan on coming back to try more options! read more

Been passing by this place. The server was nice and pleasant. Bought a dozen variety flavor. Definitely enjoyed the Birria. But the spinach, bean, potato and even the apple empanadas were not worth it. It said it had cheese but it didn't have it. Unlikely coming back. No picture of the rest of the empanada as the kids took a bite and threw away read more

You might expect a traditional South American spot when you hear "The empanada shop," but this place is so cute it instantly puts you in a good mood. You order from a kiosk, and each empanada is around $4-5 -- but honestly, one is never enough. The fillings and sauces are so good that you'll swear you're stopping at two... and somehow end up eating three. Adorable place, delicious food, and guaranteed good vibes. read more

So glad I noticed this place on my walk to Starbucks the other day. It's a cute little shop in North Redondo, Great neighborhood gem. They have a selection of sweet and savory empanadas. The birria was by far my favorite! read more

I was here yesterday 6/13/26 around 11:30am. I wanted to buy empanada that is available on display and the guy in store said he cannot sell anything because he was so behind of the orders. I don't get it because i only need 2 empanadas and there was still alot on display and that he said he was by himself only. He told me to come back at 1PM. Im not coming back anyway.... read more

Tucked away and a great find. All the empanadas were delicious. Favorite was bean and cheese. Loved them so much took a six-pack home to the bay area Travels well and definitely get extra dipping sauces. read more

Was there a different location across the street years ago? Anywaaayyy I've been meaning to stop in because I love empanadas and tried many shops in the area. You can order at a kiosk or with the associate, who was friendly and offered recommendations. He said the birria was the most popular so I got that, pork chorizo potato, and spinach cheese. They were all SO FLAVORFUL! I wish I got more lol. So I guess that means I have to come back for these flavors and try the others too. Pro tip - sign up for rewards! read more

I live in the neighborhood and I often stop by for dinner on my way home from work. The Birria beef is our favorite empanada but we also like the Ancho chicken. We usually order the apple empanadas for dessert. All fresh and delicious! I have started ordering online in advance. Really quick and easy. I love this place! read more

Amazing empanadas! Come and try the ancho chile packed with flavor and delicious sauces

They have a self-serve kiosk and a cashier. The person who helped me on this particular day, wasn't paying attention and gave me all beef birria empanadas. The place is small and unassuming. The food was decently ok, the dough was a little thick. Tasted more like a pot pie. read more

Seriously over this: every year I receive an email directly from them with a 'Happy Birthday, $10 off code', and every time it's an issue. Today's response was 'I will have to call my boss', and helped two other folks first. WHY DO YOU SEND OUT EMAILS IF IT'S ALWAYS A HASSLE?? Two stars because they are delicious, but this is the last time I will be driving out of my way. See ya Empanada Shop. read more

My go-to empanada spot--hands down. I order from The Empanada Shop at least once a week for the office, and every single time, it's a hit. These aren't your average empanadas--each one is packed with bold, unique flavor that keeps you coming back for more. From the savory chorizo, beef, and chicken to their surprisingly amazing vegan options, there's something for everyone. And don't even get me started on the apple cinnamon dessert empanada... it's like a warm hug wrapped in flaky pastry. Delivery is always prompt and reliable, which is a lifesaver during a busy workday. Whether you're feeding a team or just craving something delicious, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend. Your taste buds will thank you. read more

This place is very good and I love it go get some empanadas (I didn't wanna write a long review but yelp is forcing me to)

They don't take cash... They won't be getting my money ever.. I went here with my sons to get a tray of empanadas and pulled out a stack of money happy to pay but she informed me they don't take cash so I smiled and said thank you and walked out.. I will not be going back, And will recommend to everyone I know to steer clear of this place read more

Good place for empanadas. I think most of the flavors are pretty nice. Some of them were sweet and some were sour. It's about $4 each when I went. But if you get a lot of them it's a discount. Street parking was a bit hard to find. I got a spot across the street. read more

Lackluster very commercial tasting, even though you can see them making them. I took mine next-door to the Starbucks to eat on my first visit this elderly couple said they looked good, but they couldn't buy any because the place only takes debit or credit cards NO CASH I wish the owners would, understand how much business they are losing because they don't take cash judging from the reviews and the response not listening to the customers and it's a shame because small businesses need all the help they can get read more

This little shop is a hidden gem. Very good spinach empanada. Will be returning for another round! Thank you!

This place has two things going for it: 1. The name speaks for itself. It's a pretty straightforward operation--you know exactly what you're getting into. 2. The empanadas were made with love. And by love, I mean they tasted like they were made by someone who'd beat my ass with a chancla. 8.4/10 Will be a regular. read more

We came here around 6:30 PM on a weekday and they were sold out of a lot of the empanadas. We tried the lentil & potato and a chicken empanada ($4 each) -- they were solid but I thought they could've had more flavor. If I was ever craving empanadas in the area, I would come here again, but I would probably want to try other places if the option was available. read more

I always pass by this place and I keep saying "I need to try it". Today I finally did. I ordered a dozen. I got every flavor. These are not your small empanadas. They're a pretty good size and they are stuffed. I read from other reviews that when they got theirs it was hot....mine were definitely not hot. They were room temperature at best. Also not sure if it was an off day (I was the only one there) but the customer service was not good at all. The person at the counter seemed annoyed, she just said "what do you want". I was pretty quick with choosing my selection and I felt a bit rushed. So I gave this 3 instead of 5 stars due to customer service and all 12 empanadas being room temperature. Total cost (including tax) for the dozen was around $62. read more

We love this shop. The empanadas are delicious and the price is reasonable. We are so glad they are part of our community

Little Empanada shop that sells Mexican empanadas! Friendly staff and just two small tables to eat outside. I like their orange sauce but the green sauce not so much. The empanadas were good. My favorite was the chicken with cheese and the chorizo with potatoes. I'll definitely come back for these again! read more
