So we stopped here as we saw other positive reviews. What a delightful, cute Argentinian empanadas restaurant! 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! read more

We placed a large order through DoorDash, over two dozen empanadas, for a group of people waiting at 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. read more

Amazing spicy empanadas. Service was speedy. Establishment was clean. We go often and can't wait for the next time. read more

Delicious piping hot empanadas, stuffed with filling, multiple varieties, and the service was lovely. There's a little seating area outside as well if you wanted to enjoy your empanada before you go. I thought this place was such a good find, a little gem. I tried a sweet and savory empanada and both were great, would recommend coming back. read more

There is an incredible selection of empanadas. I brought home the beef briskest, steak, chicken and mushrooms, spicy chorizo. Every single one was delicious and very filling. $4.50 each but they're large. The atmosphere is just takeout but clean. Service decent - helpful read more

Che! Empanada: A Love Letter and a Warning ​Rating: ​I went in for a "light snack" and left with enough empanadas to fuel a small army. ​The Crust: Flakier than my last three exes combined. Absolutely buttery perfection. ​The Fillings: The Beef Classic is a life-changer, and the Spicy Chicken has just the right amount of attitude. ​The Chimichurri: I'm 90% sure this sauce is liquid gold. I'd drink it out of a literal boot if I had to. ​Verdict: My waistline says "stop," but my soul says "get the Nutella dessert one for the road." 10/10 would ruin my diet here again. read more

Quick in and out at this location. Parking can be difficult if it's busy around the area. Empanadas are crispy and moist. They're tasty. We orders a variety of twelve from spicy chorizo, creamy chicken, beef, chicken, and spicy chicken. I'd have to say I think my favorite is the spicy chorizo--packed with the most flavor over all. They do have a few tables in this location and offer outdoor seating during the warmer days. read more

Oh. My. Gosh. So I work with a crew of Argentinians and they would have been so mad at me if I hadn't stopped in here to try the Argentinian empanadas. Omg omg omg omg OMGOSH. There's a reason this place was featured in the Boston globe. I got basically a chicken pot pie empanada and wanted to cry it was so warm, and yummy, and flavorful. If I wasn't in public I'd have licked the plate. I'm not even kidding. Wonderful. read more

Authentic empanadas. We sampled a few and they reminded us of Buenos Aires. The beef empanada had minced whole eggs, just like Argentina. The sauces were a great complement. The lady was very helpful with our selections. Quick grab and go place or a quick snack. Would be back if in the area. read more

The place is a bit small but nice. It has nice decorations. The empanadas are pretty good and they have different kinds. They are a bit pricey though. My favorite is The Messi which is bacon, ground beef and cheese. They also have vegetarian options available. The service is good. The staff are nice. There's usually one or two people working up front depending on how busy it is. read more

Crispy on the outside and warm and cheesy on the inside! I love the empanadas! I got them from Worcester Public Marker. The sauce that came with it pairs super well with the empanada. It is tangy and garlicy, lots of herbs which cuts down the cheese. Overall, this is a great snack on the go or get multiple because they can be filling! read more

Can I say FLAVORFUL?! Omg, very well stuffed and there are many different options. They will definitely see me a lot more! My first time and I am obsessed read more

I needed to feed a team of teenagers that had been on a sub and pizza diet for the past few days. The folks at Che Empanadas were able to pull together a great assortment of 5 dozen empanadas in a very short period of time. The staff was wonderful and helpful. They also took the time to write and define the empanada types on the boxes. I am very appreciative for their support. read more

Love the concept and variety of empanadas, especially the vegetarian and vegan options because they had more than I imagined. Very friendly staff and cozy environment. Definitely stop by! read more

This place is very cute. If it wasn't raining, the outside area would have been a lovely place to sit and enjoy our empanadas and the afternoon. The indoor tables are tiny, but they served our empanadas on a lazy Susan that made it easy for the three of us to maneuver the tiny table. Empanadas are $3.50 each or $6 for $20. The meat filled empanadas are large, but the vegetarian and vegan empanadas are tiny and they cost the same amount which is kind of a rip off, but that's part of the price you pay to be vegan or vegetarian, which makes no sense at all. The meat empanadas are football shaped in a beautiful fresh pastry with a roping at the seam in a variety of flavors including beef, chicken and pork. The vegetarian and vegan empanadas are like mini quiches made in a puff pastry dough. The vegetarian ones are very cheese forward. The caprese is like pizza in a cup shape. I enjoyed the spinach one the best. My table mate really liked the corn one. Che Empanada is in the area around the new stadium and it's really turned into a lovely place with lots of good options. Che Empanada does a brisk take out business. Before we come back here we'll most likely try one of the other choices in the area. read more

So yummy! Ordered online and pu was a breeze- will go back! Sampled 4 and two desserts - all amazing

There was a ROACH in my empanada!!! I tried reaching out to management to let them know and correct the issue but since they didn't respond I'll leave a review here. Even aside from that, the empanadas are not traditional Argentine empanada pastry, and the chimichurri is NOT chimichurri. The fillings are fine, so long as there are no bugs in yours. read more

Nice little takeout empanada place. Tasty stuff. Might stop here again if in the area.

I stopped here while traveling and they were So Tasty! I loved all the different flavors. My favorite was the chicken pot pie

These are the best empanadas I've ever had! The filling is generous and the dough is so soft. I ordered 3 beef empanadas and 3 fatays, which totaled to about $21ish after tax. All of the empanadas are stored in a glass case so you can see what you're buying. They also offer to heat up your order for you if you're dining in! Seats are limited indoor but there's a lot more outside. Street parking is available nearby as well. read more

Argentinian empanadas in Worcester, MA... YUP! My wife is Cuban/Dominican and these passed her taste test! Highly recommend giving them a shot when you're in the area! read more

I have ordered food from this place on a few occasions. Every time I received my order the empanadas were cold on the inside. The flavor is good but cold empanadas are NOT it. I placed a Grub Hub order yesterday and ordered a six pack of beef empanadas and a variety of other ones totaling 12 of them. I got half my order. I called and they were polite enough, but I said that they ones I got were cold too and she kept says "it's OK". I said no they are cold on the inside. She again said "it OK." I was at a loss for words. Long story short a lot of co workers didn't have a lunch and a lot of them ate a cold empanada. That's at least 12 people NEVER going to this place again. But i guess its OK...... read more

I just finished my empanadas and I had to tell someone how good they are so I thought I'd share here!! Happened upon this place when doing an errand in Worcester. I was lucky enough to find street parking nearby and went in. The staff was very helpful talking me through their many empanada options!!! It was hard to decide but I'm the end I got one beef, one chicken with mushrooms and one corn with cheese! I honestly am not sure which is my favorite!! Gonna have to have more to decide!! Probably gonna be leaving with a few to go... read more

Che Empanadas - Corn and cheese is the round one, and the other two are beef and then chicken with mushrooms! - Empanadas Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

I am originally form Argentina and even make my own empanadas. So, I am a little picky. However, these fellows make excellent. empanadas! I tried the clasicas (tipo salteñas), las dulces (cordobesas pero sin papas) y de chorizo. All terrific! These are probably the best empanadas I have eaten outside Argentina. The service was cordial and prompt. They also have several different fillings for vegans, of course, I did not try them ;-) read more

Che Empanadas - Empanadas Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Really great tasting little empenadas. Tried a few savory ones, and a few sweet ones. All good. Highly recommend banana and Nutella for dessert, creamy chicken for savory, and the caprese empenada, which I could eat 1000 of. Really small inside area, but they make you feel welcome to dine in and plate the food in a cute way. Will return here! read more

The tuna empanada was delicious, moist, and flaky albeit tiny for the price. The beef criolla empanada was bland despite the green sauce. The pianono cake roll was too dry and the dulce de leche filling was also bland. The individual wrapped Alfajores cookie tasted like chocolate mallows and not the Alfajores that I know of. read more

It was a bazillion degrees outside and I thought. Mmm. Empanadas. Great little spot right in Newtonville. Perfect size menu. We had several but the classic chicken was our favorite. Like hotdogs. Two is probably enough. But when you try for three you can do it with some belt stretching. read more

I had takeout for Che Empanadas and I loved everything I got! 10/10 would definitely do take out again.

Loved the empanadas I had. Repeat customer! Homemade, cute presentation in box, great filings, great crust.

First time in to try the empanada. Great selection to pick from and lunch deal (3 plus soda and chips). I would have liked them to be hotter, but they were still very tasty! read more

Owned by an Argentinian family, this establishment is an absolute gem and a great addition to the vibrant Worcester food scene. They dish out dozens of different, scrumptious empanadas. Each unique and delicious. Some savory, others sweet. Don't skip their chimichuri sauce to dip 'em in and make sure to leave room for desert: they import Argentinian chocolate & dulce de lecie cookies that are too are delicious. Stellar. A++ read more

I think Che's is great! The flavors are nice and the staff there was kind when we went. The store front is very modern but the inside has a much older ambiance. I also come from a town where empanadas are popular. With that being said, I think the empanadas were small for their price. The flavors were bright yet well balanced, but I feel like the experience on each pastry was cut short. I will be back again eventually. I will certainly have to buy more than one of each :) read more

Delicious choices of empanadas. The spicy chicken was my favorite and the chimichurri was delicious too. The owner of the store was very kind and gracious with their time. Can't wait to return! read more

Amazing. Authentic, but creative too. My family came in for one night to Worcester and needed to get food quick. It was super quick and unbelievably delicious. All my kids found something they loved. Highly recommend the eggplant and spicy chorizos. Also daughter loved the creamy chicken. So worth it. read more

We live in Hudson first time going we ordered 6 for lunch dinner time around and wanted more so we made the drive again All the chicken ones are excellent chirizo was also really good read more

I had the beef clasico, creamy chicken, and chorizo empanadas. They were all delicious but my favorite was the beef clasico. I like how they tell you the prices for half dozen and full dozen like it is a discount if you purchase more. The price per empanada is the same no matter how many you purchase. I think they would be able to sell more if the half dozen were 1 dollar cheaper and the full dozen was 2 dollars cheaper. That being said, it is worth it and you should make your way to this spot. read more

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Che Empanadas. I stopped in for the lunch special of three empanadas, chips, and a drink. The friendly owner shared her recommendations as well as other places to explore on my walk around Worcester. I had the spicy chorizo, creamy chicken, and beef. All were delicious, and I went back in and ordered a take out lunch special for my wife. I highly recommend experiencing the food and hospitality of Che Empanadas. read more
