I have been meaning to try this place out for a long time now and am SO glad I did!! I called ahead as I wanted to make sure I could get in and out quickly, they answered the phone took my order and were ready to pop my empanadas in the oven when I got there. They were deliciously warm. I recommend trying the sauces also (but honestly the empanadas are delicious on their own) as they have some sauce packets that come with your order if you want. I got chimichurri and chipotle mayo. We got an assortment of beef (everyone liked this best), chicken (I really liked), pork (this one is a bit sweet with a subtle BBQ sauce). This makes for a super fast, but filling lunch. I would definitely recommend this place. Service was excellent. Parking is free. There is a lot of construction around the restaurant. I would say carry-out is probably best (I can't remember but they may have had one or two small tables inside- maybe??). They are located right across the street from Guernseys (little plaza that has Jets Pizza). Yum, can't wait to go back! read more

A small place with a couple of tables. Plenty of free parking. You could either have them heat the empanadas or you can do so at home. If they heat them, they recommend eating them within 30-minutes. That's what we did - we ordered the six pack with three sauces to take home. We got the beef, pulled pork, chicken, humita, mushroom, and caprese. The empanadas are pretty big. They don't really need the sauce. Good flavor. They also sell pop, water, and juice. It's not a place I would go to regularly but I'd definitely order from them again. read more

Yum! Authentic empanadas made with love. Are they a little pricey? Yes. Are they worth every penny? Also yes!

Small family owned business that serves some of the best empanadas I've tasted. Smacked on the Northville/Novi border on Novi Rd. Their empanadas are Argentinian and it is my first experience trying empanadas of that origin. Super well seasoned and so filling. I tried the beef, chicken, pork, and mushroom flavors. I got the 6 pack with a free empanada and it was just such a good deal. Lovely woman gave my order right when it was supposed to be picked up and just great service overall. Def try them out. The chicken is my fave! Soooo soo delicious! read more

Great filled patties with a vast variety of flavors to make either breakfast, lunch, dinner or just in between meals.

Lunch for three to go. Bought the box of 6 which gets you a 7th for free. Beef, chicken portuguese, and spinach and cheese. Still fantastic empanadas. Chicken portuguese is a little bland but the chicken is super tender. I still think the beef is my fave. Did not call ahead so we did have wait for things to get cooked. But so well worth the wait. Still a go to place in my book. read more

The empanadas are amazing. I tend to order them when I'm entertaining because they are the perfect finger food. You can serve them as a light appetizer or you can serve several and make a whole meal out of them. I also stock up on the frozen chorizo to grill out. They are nice, mild and super juicy. Argentine chorizo is not the red oily chorizo you may have seen elsewhere. Get chimichurri to put on it and serve it in a slice of baguette. Also, ask them how to grill provoleta. I stock up on that too. read more

I got to try these at the Saline food truck festival. I got the vegan and the beef. The vegan was so creamy, with creamed corn and pumpkin filling. Very unique tastes. The beef was amazing, nice and hot, with the perfect balance of beef and veggies. I'll definitely hit them up to try the pulled pork and mushroom. read more

I'm not gonna make this a long or super in-depth review, this is hands down THE BEST empanadas I've ever had in my life. From the dough that manages to be soft and crispy at the same time, to the beautifully packed and flavorful fillings, these are truly a work of culinary masterpiece. I got one beef, one chicken, a vegan empanada and finally one with apple compote. Not that they needed it, but the two sauces I received definitely complemented them (esp the chimichuri). Also the gentleman that serviced me was very warm and passionate about the product that his family puts out. These are the types of businesses that deserve recognition! read more

First time visiting. I had a few questions and they were so amazing and helpful with what I was looking for. I tried a beef and a chicken empanada and they were delicious!!! I then ordered 3 of each of the beef and chicken empanadas. You are able to get them half baked if you want to finish baking them at home or on another day within a week. Baked and served them for Bookclub and they were a huge hit! I will definitely be going back in the near future. read more

The food is amazing. It's not easy to get to with the road construction, but definitely worth it.

It's very small place, but there empanadas are great. If your in the area and what to try something different stop in.

Exciting new place in Northville superb, family owned and friendly service. Clean little place with some Argentinian sweets to buy and Messi poster on the wall. They have 4 types of empanadas with different meats and 4 types with no meat. Also an apple empanada as a dessert. The dough was perfectly flaky and fillings were plentiful. read more

Love the place. The empanadas are served scalding hot, as they should and are rich with flavor and the perfect texture. The aroma alone is enough to make you ravenous in an instant. If you are ever wondering what should you take to the next meet with friends, this place is a great option. Kudos to the team working weekends, the are great. read more

This mom and pop shop is the best. The whole community knows of them and we all try to support at least once a week. !!! This is a Northville staple and we love all the employees ! The owners are amazing and really go above and beyond for every order. I love brava empanadas! read more

Who would have thunk that a little tiny place in a non-descript strip mall in the suburban desert of Northville would contain the most delicious empanadas? My goodness are the tasty bundles of goodness. Fantastic service, easy pick up with a smile. This place rocks. read more

Delish! We live to snag some hot and extra for the freezer. The owner is absolutely wonderful. Love supporting local gems like this!

I love a good empanada! Whilst Visiting family here I saw Brava wasn't far at all. It's a small but very clean and calm space Just three tables but I gather it's predominantly a carry out spot. Regardless, the empanadas are excellent and VERY fresh. I had the pork and potato along with the traditional beef. Both are were great tasting warmed up. Prices I consider very reasonable considering I've paid more for slightly smaller ones else where. Definitely coming back before I leave town. read more

I had a chance to try them on Yelp event. There were two options available, spinach and cheese and vegan corn. I only could eat the vegan one and it was very good. My husband tried both and he liked them too but said the corn one was better. read more

These empanadas are insane. Brought 24 to a tailgate recently and they were inhaled in about 45 minutes. Tried the beef, chicken and mushroom and loved all three. They've still got a bunch more I need to try, but I'm sure they're phenomenal. Awesome little spot off Novi road, great staff and wonderful service. Make sure you get both sauces. read more

Unique empanada restaurant for the area. Based on limited seating availability this is primarily a takeout place. We tried a variety of empanada including beef, chicken, ham and cheese, corn, and mushroom. We all agreed the beef is the best although I would have preferred to try it with the chimichurri sauce. But they forgot it in our order but they did ended up crediting us back for the dessert empanada we also had. I would definitely try again. read more

This place is amazing! The lady working there is beyond friendly and is so passionate at what she does and boy does it show. The Empanadas are amazing! I got the chicken, beef, and pulled pork. I must say, the beef and pulled pork were the stars of the show. Highly highly recommend if you're in the area. Will definitely be coming back to try the other empanadas they have! read more

These were really good! We tried one of everything. I had beef and spinach. Both were really good but I think the spinach was the best. Dough is thin, flavorful, and the right amount of crispy vs chewy. read more

Awesome to see this in our neighborhood. The empanadas tasted good enough, but pricey

This place is just wonderful. This is a great choice if you're looking for something different from the typical cuisine around this area. The flavors are different, but subtle and not in your face. I tend to go with the traditional beef, but I've had several others and they were fantastic. Staff/Owners are top notch as well. This is exactly the type of place we should aspire to have more of. read more

My husband and I picked up a dozen empanadas to go. Tried three different kinds, all were delicious! Mushroom was outstanding!!!

I ordered two dozen empanadas for a birthday party and they did not disappoint! We ordered some of each flavor and each was balanced and cooked well. The chicken empanada with the spicy mayo sauce was a collective favorite. The service is always fast and friendly. Very clean inside with a variety of Argentine snacks, treats, and drinks to try as well. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Delicious food and great service! Loved the pork empanadas and the spinach! Would love to see sturdier chairs in the dining area.

Best empanadas in the area and I have been back multiple times to try every kind they have here. Highly recommend for those who are looking for something new and homemade. read more

I fell in love with empanadas during an extended holiday in Buenos Aires and have relied on an El Salvadorian variety (very good at El Guanaco on Livernois in Troy) to take care of my cravings. My wife and I stopped by after savoring a coffee ice cream cone at Guernsey Farms Dairy (directly across Novi Road) and bought a selection of 4 varieties for dinner. We enjoyed them all, but decided the beef filling was our favorite, though I also liked the mushroom/cheese, pulled pork and chicken varieties, as well. We'll be back for a dozen since they freeze well and only take a few minutes in a hot oven to get them ready. read more

Have ordered twice for parties. Everyone loved them. Even the small kids. Great service, always fresh. Ordering a batch for NYE.

Definitely a carry out restaurant. We purchased 5 flavors--3 with meat, 2 without. We split each one i& agreed they were all delicious. The PPP & the spinach were our favorites. Will definitely go back again. They came in a white bakery box so nice to take as a hostess gift or potluck. read more

I got a couple empanadas at their food truck and they were delicious. Reminded me of my trip to Argentina!
