These are some of the best empanadas in the Cinci! A cute quaint little family owned shop with a selection of empanadas, arepas, and Venezuelan side dishes that are always made fresh to order. Their empanadas are HUGE! The cornmeal dough leaves a super crispy exterior. They fill them with plenty of meat (or beans and plantains) with some great homemade sauces. This time I tried the Tequeños (like a cheese stick wrapped in pretzel breading) and let me just say: these will change your life. They are like friend Mozzarella cheese sticks on crack. read more

Super friendly guy running the place tonight! My sister and I ordered four different empanadas: chicken, pulled pork, pabellon (shredded beef, black beans, white cheese, plantain), and cheese plantain. The pulled pork filling was juicy and barbecue-flavored which I enjoyed. I always love anything plantain, but do wish there was a little more! I think that some flavors are just more filled than others. We were surprised that the empanadas were deep fried! I've only ever had the smaller kind of empanadas with thicker, bread-like outsides but these were thin and crispy. The man working told us it is because they use cornmeal instead of wheat, so they're gluten-free. I loved the light crispiness! They came with some kind of garlic aioli on the side--delicious! Each empanada is also stamped with a number that correlates to filling label on your receipt and I love that extra helpful detail. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is some seating both inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

What in the world is this place?! I cannot believe how amazing it was! I had it bookmarked for like a year and I regret not trying it sooner! The ricotta and spinach empanada changed my life!!! Loved the chicken empanada and the arepa I had too. Couldn't eat these all in one day of course because the food is insanely filling. I loved the steak in the arepa. I love the creamy cilantro sauce they include with everything. I love everything about this place. So happy I finally tried it! read more

Strip mall spot. (I love these) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small seating area, but well served.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Order at the counter & they bring it to you. Looks like these folks do a lot of festivals. (I'll assume there's a truck aspect here) The Empenadas are very big. I'm a big guy & I could only finish one. All 4 that we tried were excellent, but the straight beef version was by far the best I've ever had. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Delicious!! Homemade and a lot of choices. Great prices. Great hidden gem !!! Always my go to for empanadas

Absolutely delicious, fresh and piping hot even though I didn't eat until I got food home. Greeted by friendly staff who prepared food quickly to order. So flavorful, chicken and shredded beef and cheese Empanadas were awesome, crispy on the outside but not at all greasy. Dipping sauce was bussin' must try. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little joint in a strip mall area, with a few tables inside and picnic benches outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hubby got the chicken salad arepa which was fantastic, while I got three empanadas (cheese, goetta, and chicken). They were way bigger than I thought they would be (like a calzone!) and made to order deep fried. Great taste and love the trio of sauces they serve it with. Amazing value and great quick bite! read more

Great food and awesome service. The texture and taste of the empanadas are out of this world! Thought we would get soggy empanadas if we take them home as take out - we were wrong - they were absolutely still the bomb when we had them at home. Crispy and tasty as it was when we dined in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is casual and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Absolutely delicious and fresh empanadas. The beef and plantain is delicious. My favorite is the shredded beef. The meat filling in the plantains have good flavor, but tend to be on the dry side. All in all, still one of the most tastiest empanadas around town. Plenty of parking. There are a few tables and chairs inside for dine in. Friendly staff. read more

Hearing the story of CCS Empanads Venezuelan owner added so much to my dinner visit! The shop boasts flavors from more than 1 country. Tables are available outside the shop as well as a few inside. The jamon (ham) and cheese fried empanadas was good, but I've discovered I much prefer baked empanadas over fried. My second empanada boasted lentils. Based on the size of the empanadas, I only needed 1. Fruit chilled drinks of mango or blackberry are available! read more

We loved the empanadas. They are huge, one is more than enough for lunch and one and a half for dinner. The churros were delicious too. The restaurant is small with maybe 4 tables, mostly meant for takeaway but we did enjoy dinner on site there. They have a couple picnic benches outside the venue too. I think my favorite was the plantain and cheese but we liked all four varieties we tried. read more

CCS Empanadas - Churros w caramel and chocolate - Venezuelan Near Me - Loveland, Ohio

Best in town. Even better than the empanadas we had in Central/South America on vacation. Owners are super friendly and eager to please.

Good variety of empanadas and arepas in small, casual restaurant in a shopping center. I recommend the Veg Beans empanada but the spinach and ricotta was also good. I would have preferred baked vs. fried, so wish I had tried the baked arepas instead. Fast, friendly service. read more

I'm so excited to see a wonderful empanada place up in the burbs! Normally I have to go all the way downtown to be able to get a delicious empanada but look no further than here for all of your empanada needs! The food is spectacular - the empanadas are so flavorful and definitely hearty. They are much bigger than a lot of the empanadas that I have ordered before so don't let the price deter you - it is an extremely generous portion and you will likely only need one or two per person. I tried the shredded and ground beef and they were both phenomenal. The people working there could not have been kinder and it is a cafe style where you walk up and place your order. The empanadas came out pretty quick but I would say this is mostly a to go place since there's not a ton of seating inside. Absolute must try in Loveland! read more

After the closing of Empanadas Aqui I've been searching for a new place. CCS Empanadas has just entered my list for places to eat! I got a shredded chicken and a shredded beef empanadas. I ordered them to go. They traveled very well! The empanadas both come with garlic sauce. So yummy! I really enjoyed both empanadas. The cashier who took our order was very quick and kind! The building is small so you can't always plan on eating in as there are only two tables. But perfect opportunity to have a little outdoor picnic! The restaurant offers several products to purchase like candies, drinks and snacks. The cost is great. $4.99 per empanada. Everything seems to be made fresh to order. Highly recommend if you are looking for a different option! read more

Excellent Empanadas. I'll be back to try other menu items. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Limited indoor space, order at counter, some outdoor seating too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very friendly service. read more

Small business, local empanada place. There are a few tables inside and outside of the restaurant for seating. Staff was very friendly. We inquired about the Agua Fresca's and they gave us generous samples of each flavor. My husband got the sugar cane and I got the BlackBerry. Both are very good. We ordered 3 empanadas. One cheese, one chicken, and one ground beef with plantains. My husband loved the chicken and I my favorite was the ground beef with plantains. The empanadas are a generous size and cost about $5 apiece. The empanadas appear to be made to order. They were very fresh, even after the drive home to eat them. Very tasty. Highly recommend. read more

Try the Cowboy Empanada! It's so amazing! The food came out fast and lady that took the order was nice as well! Can't wait to go back again! read more

Wow. The empanadas here are amazing and big. My wife and I usually get three and split them. We are vegetarians, but they have a lentil one, a black bean one, a cheese with plantain one, and a ricotta spinach one, so there are always plenty of options. Our boys rave about the meat ones, too. Take out is easy to order on Yelp and fairly quick. There are only two dine in tables and two picnic tables outside, but we have eaten there a time or two. read more

Excellent service and delicious food. Tried 6 different empanadas and really liked the spinach and cheese, chorizo, beef and chicken! Was not crazy about the goetta. Get the churros! Icing on the cake! read more

What a great hidden jewel! Made from scratch empanadas and arepas that are so delicious. They even have a nod to Cincinnati with a goetta empanada (haven't tried it yet, but what can be bad in that?!). Hearty, wholesome and crazy good. Service was super friendly. There are a few seats inside and a couple of picnic tables outside. I see this easily becoming one of our favorite carry out & delivery spots. read more

This place is fire. For most people, a single empanada is enough for a meal. So, $6-7 and you're good. Service is fast. We called in our order, and it was ready in 10 min. Got the pabellon and chorizo empanadas, and both were great. Will be back soon -- maybe even today. :) read more

Delicious empanadas! We would call in food and it would be ready in under 10 minutes, nice and hot. I tried the pabellon, chorizo, and cheese and plantain. They were all delicious. I would say one is enough for a meal, they are generously sized. It's definitely worth checking this place out which is tasty and affordable. read more

Food is fantastic. Staff is welcoming. Cannot recommend enough! I've been 3 or 4 times. Everything I've tried is great.

I was alerted to this new-ish empanada restaurant in Mason and had to try it out. The menu was small, but yet enough. There were several types of empanadas- including vegetarian options. My favorite was the cheese and plantains! Between the two of us we ordered 4 empanadas and 2 canned soft drinks. There are 2 small tables inside and 3 picnic tables outside. We chose to eat outside. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We drove 30 to get there, but will definitely be back! read more

Had CC's empanadas at the Taste of Cincinatti this past weekend and went back for more, but we were too late.

These are such a yummy meal and gluten-free to boot! Highly recommend! read more
