Best Latin American Restaurant in Dallas

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

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.

Had such a great experience at The Empanada Cookhouse in Dallas that I actually went back the next morning before heading home to Louisiana just to grab a 6-pack for the road. That alone should tell you how good they are. The empanadas are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked with a great crispy crust and delicious ... fillings. What really stood out though was the owner — super friendly and welcoming. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and takes pride in the food he’s serving. That kind of passion really shows in the quality. If you're anywhere near Dallas, do yourself a favor and stop by. Amazing food, great people, and definitely a spot I’ll return to whenever I’m back in town. Read More

Every variation of empanada that we ordered was delicious as was the rice but I have to say that the guacamole was AMAZING! My 10yo who has always hated guacamole actually ate my whole order. This is the best guacamole I’ve had in TX in almost three years of living here. The establishment is clean/neat, the service is ... fast and welcoming. I highly recommend! 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

Ya’ll this was actually pretty good, as a Mexican I wasn’t sure if I’d like it, but the empanadas are actually fully filled with the protein you choose. My favorite was the chicken buffalo✅ the beef/potato empanada was okay I don’t really care for ground beef The Tamarind/Pork was the one I was a bit hesitant about ... butttt in my opinion it tasted like bbq pulled pork, so it was good The rice was good and fresh What’s crazy is that I didn’t eat these in 1 sitting, but took me about 3 days to eat these and the bread…stayed fresh, it was still soft and eatable 😭🙏 I was so glad and impressed, I’ll be ordering again Read More

Quick and efficient ordering from a touch screen. You can pick up and eat in house or take it to go. Lots of flavors and salsa options. The tamarind pork is delicious and the al pastor is yummy. The spinach is a bit dry, but no bad. Everything came out fast and very hot.
