Been waiting for them to sell these again. I've also had the beef and buffalo which were delicious as well. They also include sauces but I can go without them because of all the flavor packed in one empanada!! YUM. They gave me the option to buy a pack frozen or freshly made (pre orders). I've had both options and loved the frozen option because I can just pop them in the air fryer or on a pan and whenever I'm craving some of their empanadas! Highly recommend getting trying their empanadas. Definitely will be a crowd pleaser at parties :)

It feels like a warm hug from your grandma when you're eating these, so I can understand why they are Buelas empanadas! My favorite are the ground meat ones and the buffalo chicken ones but honestly all of their flavors have been amazing! Their customer service has been impeccable each time I've ordered, and you feel good about supporting this business due to how great they treat you! These have become my go to for any potluck or get together, as they are a party favorite each time I've brought them! Please give them a try, you won't be disappointed! Ps: I wished they bottled their sauces because I'd slather everything in them! Haha

The customer service is excellent, very friendly and there was a town center movie night so the streets were shut down and they told me just where to park and how to get there.

It's a cute little spot that you will see an oven that does the heating empanadas right away. I…read moreordered three empanadas for $15. Cheese and Ham, Spanish and chicken. They didn't have some of the steak or pepperoni ones. So the choice is a little limited if there is a larger order before your order. Location : is a bit hot inside Patio: cute and open up where you can take a sit and watch outside while enjoying your empanadas Taste wise: taste is pretty good, a bit expensive for the size and the breading or dough is a bit dry for my taste. The front desk guy is pretty friendly. Out of the three, my favorite is actually the Spanish! It's pretty cheesy too. Just wish there are hot sauces that can pair up with the empanadas. I did tried their little red sauce..it's pretty much tasted just tomatoes sauce in a way. If there were some hot sauces it would had been perfect Overall: I want them to do well, a bit expensive for three of them, and I might stop by when I crave it tho, not the usual tho. Again for the price is a bit expensive for it.

Sadly, this touristing San Diegan Yelper was already full from brunch, but just had to try one...Beef & Egg! The musical medley of beef, egg, spices, and secret ingredients wrapped in lovely pastry was a perfect symphony of flavors and textures in my mouth. The extra chimchurri sauce was a perfect encore. Friendly staff, California eccentric surfer vibes, kept the interactions interesting. Will try to stop by again on my rare road trips between San Diego and LA or Disneyland.

1st time here! Friendly service and tasty quality handmade empanadas. Today I got 10 (variety). I…read moregot it through a special deal, so I plan to freeze them. I tried 2 (the veggie lentil one and the cheeseburger one). I was a fan of the cheeseburger. It was flavorful and just the right amount of American Cheesy. The lentil one had a dry texture and was too salty for me. I look forward to trying the chicken one and any of the other flavors I was unable to get this time. Note, this shop is located in a very busy commercial area. It is best to get to it by foot. Parking seems to be a real pain in this area. Tight street and packed parking. Thankfully, I was able to park in the small lot right in front of the store. Give them a try! 2 thumbs up!!

It's been awhile since we've been here - and the empanadas more shaped like the traditionally…read morehalf-moon made - - with the same awesome fillings. I kinda missed the old days when you got a treasure map of each filling within every empanada (see previous pict). The Caprese is full of fresh tomatoes and gooey cheese. Beef is not greasy - love the green olives. The lamb is a must-have. Especially if you don't like lamb. Seasoned and flaky - not gamey at all. And another big star for being the healthy empanada place - they are all baked. Excellent service as well - you'll be in and out in under 5 minutes during a rush. That is unless the one moron in line was staring at their screen when they should be looking at the menu!!

So I chose a mushroom for my main course and the corn for dessert. At just under $5 each, I enjoyed the change for my normal lunch menu. Service was quick and with a smile. Private free parking lot.

You can really taste the quality and care in each bite. The variety is great too so there's something for everyone whether you're in the mood for savory or a little sweet :) Service was friendly and welcoming. It's a perfect spot for a quick bite that still feels special. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to! Support your local businesses!

"You can't go wrong with Argentine empanadas! Growing up, my best friend was Argentinian, so I got…read moreto eat empanadas all the time--and I loved them. Ham and cheese, corn and cheese, beef, chicken... they made so many different kinds, and it was always a delight. Now as an adult, having them at Nora's Empanadas brought back so many great memories! I'm rarely in Temecula, but yesterday we were in town for a baseball tournament. We'd seen Nora's Empanadas on Instagram, so I made a quick side trip to grab some. I ordered the ham and cheese, pepperoni, and beef empanadas--they were all delicious! But the absolute winner was the guava and cheese empanada. It was overwhelmingly sweet, but it hit the spot perfectly!" So if you are in Temecula, Ca. And are looking for lunch spot look no further than Nora's empanadas!

I've been wanting to try this place since they opened, but my family isn't willing to try new…read morethings so I came by myself and ordered the Lomo Saltado ($17) for lunch. It was made to order (not sitting around on a burner all day or made the night before). I REALLY appreciate that because I know it's extra effort. It was very good. Needed a little salt and I forgot to ask for some sauces to go with it (assuming they have sauces for this). It was quite warm inside, but not surprising considering it was around 100°F outside (WTF) but I noticed they have lots of seating and lots of food options on the menu and in the display cases. Will definitely come back!

What a wonderful surprise to have found a Peruvian/Colombian restaurant in the heart of Oceanside…read moreCalifornia ! My daughter and I were on our way to find some food and by our luck we saw the billboard Casera! We looked at the menu and were taking it back it was a Colombian/Peruvian restaurant it had messed up both worlds ! Lomo Saltado , Bandeja Paisa, Arepas, Alfajores, Buñuelos, Pilsen Callao, Postobon, Inka Kola! Every Peruvian in Colombian dream when it comes to food! We had a Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian staple! They knocked it out of the park! A lot of places miss the Mark but this place got it just right the flavors were great the meat was just tender with a side of rice and the fries it was just perfect! Had an Arepa con Queso because yes! Pilsen Callao to wash it down with! Also had a chat with the owner who had a similar backstory like mine half Colombian half Peruvian from New York and now resides in San Diego! So if you're in Oceanside and you want a great place to have lunch or dinner, look no further than Casera!

Felt very meh about this place. I visited with some…read morecoworkers at lunch. There was only one employee working and she was very rude! Was not friendly and did not care about the way she conducted her service. I ordered a corn and cheese empanada and a spicy beef one with a side salad. Side salad is totally not worth it, do not get it! Tastes like a regular Costco salad with some walnuts. Both empanadas were good and fresh but nothing to rave about. The spicy beef one was the best one. I don't think I'd recommend this place.

It's most certainly a bright spot. The staff there this Sunday morning when I visited was cheerful…read more Lovely. And super warm. She / They made the visit pleasant. I thought the food was above average. I think it's great for a quick snack. I think it's great if you're just passing by. But I wouldn't go out my way. I got two this morning. One lamb. One mushroom and cheese. Torn on which one is better. I think without the chimichurri sauce, the lamb was better. It was savory and rich. It felt well put together. But I added the sauce and it switched the flavor profile of it a bit too much. The mushroom and cheese one was the opposite. It didn't need the sauce but the sauce enhanced it quite a bit. The sauce was okay. I got the spicy one and it was more mild. I can only imagine what the mild version tasted like. Plenty of seats. Can fit maybe 30ish people inside and outside. It's a warm atmosphere / ambiance with it being yellow and white.

Today, we were quoted 60 mins wait which we agreed to but after about 30 mins after our order was…read moreplaced, we were told that the potato balls that we ordered were out of stock and that we can get something else or a refund. We waited another 50 mins before I asked for an update after waiting for more than 80 mins, Cas came out of the kitchen and snapped at me saying "what's the problem here?" So I said "well I'm just asking for a status of my order." First of all, I wasn't even talking to Cas and she didn't even know what was going on before she took it upon herself to yell at me. Kila, which was the person I was talking to originally was extremely friendly. She apologized for the delay and even offered us some pastry which we did not care for after Cas inserted herself into a conversation that had nothing to do with her. It's ironic how as a paying customer, I was using a polite voice to ask for status and got snapped at by an employee. Got our refund and took our business elsewhere. There are plenty of options here in old town Temecula.

Seeing as it's focused on its coffee just as much as their empanada, I ordered their empanada and…read morecoffee deal. Sadly, they didn't have decaf coffee so I was given some teas to select from. Looking back, I think I overpaid when I switched to a tea. The empanada tasted good but I wasn't impressed with the pastry - it was tough and greasy. The flavor of the filling was close to some of my favorites yet not quite there. It's a nice midday snack, but I don't know if it's worth coming back to since it shares the small lot with The Taco Stand.

Lol Sweet corn basil needed more basil. But ratatouille empanadas. Nailed. That thing with chimichuri sauce. I will travel to get my hands on those. I felt some empenadas scores higher than others. But overall, I think this place is worth another visit.
