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

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

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 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

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

*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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Empanada Shop The Empanada Shop is serving up 11 different types of empanadas, so of course I had to try them all My sweet tooth won out & I vote that Mexican chocolate was by far my favorite. As far as savory goes, I'd go with the picadillo beef. Try them out yourself though & let me know what is your go-to??

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

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

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

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

Delicious empanadas with helpful/decorative labels. More vegan options please! The dessert ones could be made easily with vegan butter. Loved the green chimichurri-like sauce & spicier orange sauce. Very nice staff, easy parking. 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

This is the real deal. A good assortment of ingredients are constantly being made so hot empanadas are always available. Reasonably priced at $4/each. Credit or debit cards only! 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 originally gave them a 3 in my original review, because they were not open when they were supposed to be, but my hangryness was tainting my emotions. This place is good, bumped it up. Don't forget the hot sauce. read more

I preordered 36 empanadas in the morning and they were ready the moment I showed up! I didn't try them all, but I did try the chicken and it was really good! The spinach and potato were not my favorite only because it seemed like it was just all spinach and all potato, I couldn't taste anything else...that said, all of them were packed with filling and the others that ate them really enjoyed them. My favorite part was the orange salsa. Unfortunately, they were out of the chimichurri sauce by the time I came to pick up the empanadas and I do wish they would have saved some for my order so I could have tried it but there's always next time. The apple empanadas were really good, I wasn't hungry enough to try them the same day, but I popped them in my air fryer the next day and they were really good. Reminded me of an upscale apple pie from MD's. All in all, I was really happy with the order and they were super prompt and super friendly! I also appreciated that they label them so you know what you are trying, right on the dough. Will be returning for sure! read more

So I placed an order to take to a Super Bowl party and picked it up Saturday. When I arrived at the superbowl party on Sunday I had noticed that out of the three types of empanadas I order two of them were different but it was kinda late to do anything. Everyone at the party loved them and the once I didn't order we're actually very good. So I saw on my order email It asked how satisfied I was with the order. I explained that I didn't get my order as I requested and nothing was said about the substitutions when I picked up my over. Within minute I had received a call and text message explaining they were sorry and would refund my purchase price which is not what I was looking to get but totally appreciated the fact they wanted to make it right. I totally respect An owner who stands by their business and will definitely continue to go back for the empanadas because they are so dam good. Please try this place and don't enjoy the great food read more
