We live a few blocks away from this location and walk over once or twice a month to pick up…read moreempanadas. We've generally loved the food and service, but I'm worried that something has changed as we've been disappointed the last two times. 10 days ago we went with company in town, and my niece and I each got the caprese empanadas. Everyone else's order was fine but my caprese had green olives in it, which is not ever an ingredient in caprese anything and isn't listed under caprese in the empanola menu either. My niece's didn't have the olives, so I chalked this up to a random mistake and let it go. I did drop a quick note to the company on their "contact us" button just as an fyi for quality control, just in case it was a more regular mistake they should address, but I also said it wasn't a big deal, I just wanted to make them aware. Tonight we ordered 8 empanadas but only had 6 in the box when we got home. My husband drove back over quickly as they were about to close. I texted him while he was there replacing the other two missing empanadas, to let him know there were green olives yet again in the two caprese empanadas. The staff were very friendly and helpful and assured him that green olives are not in their recipe and asked for pictures, which I sent. They replaced my two caprese with the only one they had left, and threw in the next closest thing, which was spinach and artichoke, though I don't love that one personally. Anyway, the replacement caprese also has green olives in it now too, so I'm going to go make myself something else for dinner and now don't feel like ordering my caprese favorites anymore from there, as this is apparently an ongoing and regular mistake. I'm really bummed about this as the workers are very friendly and we've had lots of great experiences with this place that's so convenient and easy for us to walk to also. We love supporting all the great neighborhood businesses around here, of which Empanola has been high on our list for quite a while. I hope they get this sorted out, and I hope that there's a way I can know when the issue is fixed as I've now paid for three (and got two more free, for a total of 5) empanadas that were not actual caprese and I didn't like. It's most disappointing to my tastebuds, but it's now a risk I don't want to keep taking with my money either, as I'm paying for this continued disappointment. My husband will still continue to order with the kids when I'm not home, but we won't order as a family anymore for a while. I can't wait til this is hopefully cleared up again though so we can go back to loving this place!

The cashier greeted me immediately and was helpful with any questions I had regarding the menu. I ordered a six-pack of empanadas for $27 (otherwise it's usually $4.95 each), and they definitely do not skimp on the ingredients. Every empanada was stuffed to the brim, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I tried two Argentine Beef, Ham & Queso, Asian Dumpling, Gumbo, and Peruvian Chicken. And honestly every single one was delicious in its own way. The drink I got the Honey Bun Latte, they use torani syrups so I'm familiar with the flavors. It was sweet, cozy, and paired perfectly with the meal. Imo, way better than the typical honey bun lattes that I pride in the past. Overall, this is a great spot for a quick bite that still feels high-quality and satisfying. I'll definitely be back!
