Jose Bandong
This is a small restaurant with modern design that we rate 4.5 out of 5. The empanadas were on point and the salsa verde pairing was perfect. We ordered 3 empanadas beef chimichuri, pork bbq and all were tasty. The staff were nice and professional. The design is modern. This was a good experience for us.
Lou Shoger-Hall
Such a yummy stop! It was easy to order and we were quickly served. They had two gluten free options and both were excellent! We go the hibiscus lemonade and it was sweet but quite yummy. If you’re in a hurry, they can get you in quickly! We had the chips and guac which were both tasty and we’d get again. The ... plantains were sweet and filling! Read More

The food was rated 10/10 by my kids. They absolutely loved it. It is a small, typical, strip-center small dining room. It is fine but nothing special. But all savory and sweet empanadas were delicious, as well as the sides and drinks. We tried mango and horchata drink. There are NO keto options here, by the way. Just ... be aware if you are trying to eat low-carb. You shouldn't come here. Read More

The Empanada House has one of the BEST Empanadas I have ever had. We were helped by K.J. who was very kind to inform us of his favorite selections. I highly recommend the Pork Al Pastor and the Chicken Buffalo Jalepeño!
