Chicken mushroom
Shreya G.

These empanadas were great! I loved the green sauce to go with them, and the hot sauce at the table. I went here today with a large group and we were easily able to find a table and sit comfortably. There were a ton of empanada choices- it was hard to pick which one to get! I ended up getting the mushroom chicken one, and the eggplant one. The woman working asked if I wanted them heated up, and if I wanted cheese on top of the eggplant one which I thought was a really nice touch! She seemed to be the only one working but was able to give each customer a good experience. She even brought our food out to the table which was really nice. Chicken mushroom- the crust on this empanada was not as flaky as I would have liked, but it was still good. I liked the sauces with it but I'm not sure I would get this one again. The flavor was good, but when I get an empanada I like to have that flaky shell. Eggplant- this empanada was delicious! The shell was flaky and the filling was outstanding. I would totally get this again. Overall I liked this spot! I'll definitely be back to try the MANY other flavors

Unique and interesting, delicious empanadas abound here. Service was fast and friendly. We asked for extra warm / crisp and that's what we got. There's limited outdoor seating but it's never full. Overlooks a busy intersection so quite noisy and bustling.

Haven't gotten a chance to go in person yet, but we had a small variety of empanadas and we loved. Will definitely go here/order again. We had: Chicken Classico Beef Tango Chicken and Mushroom Spicy Chicken

Pricing is on a small board on the right side wall

I came to this place because I went to Grandma's Kitchen (few doors down) and the wait for food was soooo long despite calling in ahead of time. I was glad to see several new restaurants opened on this block. Ambiance: This place is pretty small but very cozy and looks clean and bright. Its a comfortable place for very small parties to dine in, but there is also a table right outside. The display showing all the empanadas had labels telling you the name of each, but it was hard to decipher what was inside (to me). Pricing: Reasonable. Check the little blackboard on the right side. I took the 3 piece combo for $12.99. Empanadas were decently sized for the price and a 3 pack would make a nice meal for someone. Food: I asked what was popular and the messi was something new. Its beef and onions inside and to us, tasted like a steak and cheese. It was the best one. I also had a spicy churro, but it tasted similar and I can't really tell the difference or distinguish the two. I also got the classic chicken and that was dry and not good. I wouldn't recommend that one but the other 2 were good. I wished they had a plain one with just chicken and cheese inside. Many of the options seems to say onions and peppers, so if you like that stuff, then you'll have plenty of options. If you're with someone that likes plain-er food or are picky eaters then this is something to consider. Service: Very friendly from the single person running the show. She was communicative - greeted me and offered to help pick out what I wanted. She offered to heat up my empanandas, which only took 40 seconds. Parking: Plenty of street parking outside.

Love these Argentinian empanadas! The shop is small but they have TONS of different kinds of empanadas to chose from. Im a savory person and my fiance is a sweet person so I tried the Beef Clásico which had ground angus beef, onions, red bell peppers, scallions & egg. He tried the Beef Criolla which had ground angus beef, onions & raisins. Both were super delicious! Looking forward to trying more.

It was ok. Not in a hurry to go back. The dough was good but the fillings were lackluster. A little pricey.

Mari was fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and struck that perfect balance of checking in on…read moreus without being intrusive. Our drinks were always refilled, she made sure we had everything we needed, and she helped make the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. It's easy to find a good restaurant, but great service is what makes you want to come back. Mari's positive attitude and genuine care for her customers really stood out. We had a great evening and she was a big part of that. Thanks, Mari!

I haven't been here in years, but my memory was that it was generally worth the high price tag…read more After this last visit though, I'm pretty confident I don't need to come back - not even in another 8-10 years. A large group of us went for Dine Out Boston and although some ordered drinks, we didn't opt for any food upgrades, and I wonder if that had something to do with the poor service. We were served the "filler" meats pretty quickly - chicken and sausage, followed by the lower quality beef cuts. Eventually, the better cuts made their way around, but after about one round of each, we barely saw the servers again. Even when we specifically requested certain cuts, we waited long stretches of time before they came around. My memory was that as long as your card was green, the meat just kept coming. This time, I didn't even need to flip my card to red because we were served so infrequently. The cheese bread on the other hand kept getting refilled without our asking, even though we already had multiple baskets on the table. And this is relatively minor, but when you sit down, they ask whether you want still or sparkling water. If you don't want to be charged for every round, you have to proactively ask for tap. On its own, it's not a big deal and it's certainly not unique to this restaurant, but combined with everything else, it contributed to the overall feeling that the business model is a bit of a scam. Unfortunately, the food and experience just didn't justify the price this time around. **Update: I reached out to customer service as they suggested, but unsurprisingly, I never received a response.

So we stopped here as we saw other positive reviews. What a delightful, cute Argentinian empanadas…read morerestaurant! The lunch special is 3 empanadas + beverage + chips for $16.04. We tried 6 empanadas between us and they were flavorful and fun. I was happily surprised that the three were enough for a meal-I was smiling as I finished them. The spicy chorizo had a noticeable slight pepper to it, the chicken mushroom was fun with bechamel and the beef with cheese and bacon reminded me of a great Philly cheesesteak. The spinach was surprising in its deep flavor and light flaky crust. Definitely worth trying! The kind woman who helped us was pleasant, knowledgeable, and promptly prepared everything. The ambiance is cute with the coffee cups having angel wings. If you are in the area, it's worth stopping by!

We placed a large order through DoorDash, over two dozen empanadas, for a group of people waiting…read moreat home. The dasher picked up the food and then canceled the order. I called the restaurant immediately to explain what happened and try to find a solution. The person in charge was not interested in hearing any of it. He kept insisting I had canceled the order, blamed me repeatedly, and refused to move past that point no matter how clearly I explained the situation. He eventually got rude and hung up on me. Yes, he actually hung up. When a restaurant chooses to partner with DoorDash, they take on some responsibility for how delivery problems get handled, particularly on large orders. The right response is not to interrogate and blame the customer while a ready order sits on the counter. There was no attempt to help, no offer to make it right, just defensiveness from start to finish. We ended the night with nothing. A large group of people, no food, and an experience that left us worse off than if we had never ordered at all. If something goes wrong with your order, this is how Che Empanadas will treat you. We will not be ordering from them again, and I would strongly encourage others to think twice before doing so.

Solea in Waltham is a tapas bar with a warmly decorated interior and a format built for sharing,…read moreand when the kitchen is on, it makes for a genuinely enjoyable night out. We walked into a space divided in a way that gives tables a sense of privacy despite the larger dining room, and the atmosphere was lively without becoming overwhelming. The tapas format rewards ordering widely. The ceviche is fresh and well balanced, with enough acidity to make it a strong opener for the table. The lamb meatballs and lamb chops deliver on the richness that lamb focused tapas should bring. The beef tenderloin is a reliable anchor for anyone who wants something more substantial, and the shrimp and calamari are both worth adding to a spread if you are building out a fuller table. The paella is massive and feeds more people than you might expect, with the chicken and chorizo version being the more reliable order for flavor consistency. Where the experience gets uneven is in the consistency across the menu. Some dishes land clearly while others fall short, and the kitchen does not always execute at the same level across a large tapas spread. The ceviche and lamb dishes worked well on our visit, but a few other plates did not quite match that standard. Service held up well, though it can stretch thin during busier stretches. Our server was attentive and helped guide us through the menu, but the pacing slowed a bit as the dining room filled. For a tapas dinner in the suburbs with a good selection and a comfortable setting, Solea is worth a visit when you go in knowing which dishes to prioritize.

A bewildering culinary experience. The portion sizes for these tapas are colossal. The beef skewers…read moreare massive, and the chicken empanadas might be a light lunch all on their own. But putting that aside, the hit-and-miss nature of each dish sucks the fun out of it. I would not recommend the beef skewers to anyone. While they looked gorgeous, they were downright chewy, with no tenderness or rendered fat to help me out. I almost always eat every bite of a meal, but I couldn't finish them. In contrast, the spinach had crispness, flavor, and raisins for real balance and a decent flavor profile. My spicy Solea (house) margarita was too strong, but worse, it was spicy as in hot, rather than spicy as in flavorful. It was like pepper was coating the back of my throat. On the other hand, the Basque cheesecake had great texture, on the outside and inside, and it was sweet and creamy. I found the service cheerful, and the space is great for large friend groups or for solo watching the World Cup. All in all, though, don't come here for the food.
