Too Expensive for Empanadas
Garrett Lynn from Citysearch   2009-09-20T11:20:23-07:00
I lived in Argentina for two years so maybe I am a little picky about empanadas, but to pay over 2 dollars for one empanada is ridiculous. Over 30 bucks for a dozen? No thanks. In Argentina you can get a dozen for about 5 bucks. My…
Delicious

Had a beef empanada for lunch today. Was a very lovely combination of spices with ground beef, boiled egg, olives (love olives mmmm) & white onions. The flavors went great in harmony, in particular thought the sweet of the onions…
Great comfort food

After reading about this place in a guide book and on Citysearch, I decided to try it as I love empanadas. My first hint that the food was going to be good/authentic was that Argentineans actually were eating there. That said, I was…
Oohhhh EMPANADAS!

My coworker and I checked this place out one night in December to see if the empanadas would be good to have at our company's holiday party. After sharing a plate of about 6 different kinds, we were HOOKED. The delicious little dinner…
Love It

We love this place for a quick bite to eat. The whole menu is empanadas, but their salad is good as well.
another location

they've got an outpost on ventura blvd in tarzana too. criollo is great but i really like the chicken too. moist and tender inside this flaky crust.
the only place for REAL empanadas

my parents have been taking me here since i was a kid. we'd go into LA or they'd visit me at UCLA and while we stuck in traffic on the 405, wed order and our food would be ready to pick up by the time we'd exit (the restaurant is right…
GREAT Empanadas!
patata0680 from Citysearch   2005-11-05T14:46:49-08:00
I tried all the empanadas except those with beef and I must say they are all delicious...I loved the one with ricotta cheese in it. I'll be back to this place!! A little expensive though because the empanadas are pretty small and u need 3…
Empanada's Place
Kathy M. from Judy'sBook   2005-09-16T16:59:07-07:00
The empanada's are fabulous and there are so many options--2 menu pages to choose from. They are very inexpensive at under $3 each, and they are delicious. They have the traditional chicken and beef, but there is also a potato and…
great food
L. L from Insider Pages   2005-03-22T18:15:00-08:00
This is the best little resturant around. The atmoshphere is very quaint. The food is very reasonabley priced. I reccommend the spinach and cheese or broccli and cheese empanadas. The salad is also very good. In addition the tea is the…
Lordy, lordy, they're tasty
brynnnn from Citysearch   2005-03-15T03:18:55-08:00
Heavenly fillings wrapped up in flaky pastry and cooked to a crunchy golden brown. Faves include corn, potato and cheese, criollo (seasoned ground beef with egg and raisins--sounds weird, tastes awesome). Get the cocktail size (only…
amazing food
pamela a from Citysearch   2005-02-26T16:00:00-08:00
i have been coming here for years and cant say enough positive things about the place- try the arabe- my friends and i get ridiculous cravings for this lemon-juice soaked amazing beef pastry- the original criolla (spelling?) are very good…

Great take-out empanadas.

Gavin W from Insider Pages   2004-11-03T11:19:00-08:00
I love the empanadas here-- the beef and onion is my favorite, but the potato and spinach ones are great, too. The prices have gone up a bit, but I'd still go and order their "dozen" special anytime.

A small family-owned chain of restaurants, this Argentinean eatery is known for the variety of empanadas it serves. The variety of empanadas includes vegetarian options and for those not into fried fare, there are also sandwiches and a…
Nice owner/host
citycat from Citysearch   2004-02-29T16:00:00-08:00
For first timers, like me, Empanada is a deep fried flour shell filled with something. There are plenty of meat and vegetarian options, but little or no options for vegans. If you are like me, you may be tempted to get 3 empanadas, but…
A taste of Argentina
lhoye from Citysearch   2003-08-08T10:39:18-07:00
I love the Empanadas here, of course, but if you're missing Argentina this is such a nice place to go - the decor, the various types of dulce de leche for sale, the alfajores, it's all great. Everyone has been friendly and welcoming to…
Short on Taste, Long on Attitude
waitingforgoulet from Citysearch   2003-02-10T05:46:57-08:00
Decent empanadas, but wild horses couldn't drag me back to this place again. Not only was the service non-existent, the counter person was downright rude. I asked for mate and was condescended to and I wasn't even given the watery…
Almost as good as moms
theonlylizardking from Citysearch   2002-07-13T08:26:46-07:00
The closest i've had to homemade. the just about as good as moms . But nothing ever compares to moms cooking.
I've Had Better
taradelis_citysearch from Citysearch   2002-06-28T08:35:04-07:00
If I didnt know any better, Id think these were the best empanadas in the world. Too bad Id already tried the empanadas place in Monrovia. These pale in comparison, though if you live/work on the Westside and youve got the craving, then…
