Always a great meal! Ordered the lunch combo for $10. Comes with 4 empanadas (2 flavors) and 1 sauce. Menu changes so that's always fun to try new or returning flavors. This time I picked the Carne Asada with corn and cheese and the Seminole Cuban. These were absolutely fantastic!! I picked the cilantro aioli, which paired perfectly! read more

The food was not ideal for me. I usually eat Colombian empanadas and they are yellow. These were brown and super oily, my stomach became ill after my 2nd empanada due to excess oil in the empanadas. They didn't quit catch the complete delish flavor they are suppose to taste like, because of course the excess oil and maybe flavor not quite captured in it. Got the Yuca fries and not how Latin do them. They were salty and breaded...Disappointed after being excited to find a place in the area. Service not very welcoming by anyone when I walked in wasn't sure where to go as I was looking for a pick area. The lady at the counter annoyed told the menu is over here on the wall. I looked at her and said I'm here to pick up. She then seemed a bit embarrassed. Tried to fix it and was trying to be nice but I was not happy how I was greeted. They looked more overworked and annoyed. Not a great ambiance. Left unsure and skeptical as confirmed once I ate the food. Not a great experience. Very disappointing. read more

I ordered the 21 different empanadas to bring to a work lunch. Everyone loved them! It's a bonus that they are all gluten free, I have a few co-workers that are gf! The fillings were all so flavorful and the sauces were all amazing. Loved the jalapeño ranch and the cilantro creme so good. They were light and crispy. So yummy! Everyone was happy. They have dairy free and vegan choices too. Highly recommend. Thank you. read more

Soo this place is so close and I had to check it out. Upon entering the customer service is fantastic and parking is pretty good. They are quick to make the order and it's definitely a must try. Here is my order: Chicken and cheese goes best with aji and jalapeño cream ( honestly they all go with these sauces) I got the cilantro sauce and it has a bite to me but I'm spicy sensitive. Pineapple pork with the habanero sauce. Beef and potato is soo delicious, I could just get this and be happy. Goes great with the aji and jalapeño ranch. Philly cheesesteak empanada - okay wasn't my favorite but was still tasty. read more

Empanada Brothers - Buffalo chicken empanada - Empanadas Near Me - Seminole, Florida

Wowowow I was really so impressed with this place! Colombian style empanadas are already the best type of empanada, but their take on flavor combinations makes it all that much better. I think the prices are super fair, especially their combo/lunch special options. Even without, it was a great price for a three empanada lunch. I ordered the Cubano, Beef/Chorizo/Rice and Bean, and the Chicken/Potato. The cubano was by far my favorite. But each one tasted fresh and flavorful. What really sets this place apart is the service. I appreciate the time they took to talk me through flavors and help me choose my order. I also liked that they hand label each plate with the names of the empanadas so they are easier to eat. The owner noticed that my group couldn't fit at any of the tables available so he brought a chair out from the back to make more room for us without us even asking. We were also there near closing and I believe they had some leftovers fries in the fryer so they brought us a basket free of charge while we ate. The inside is very tiny and simple, with small business charm. Probably ideal for takeout though. The employees are truly so kind and love what they do! If I lived in the area I'd be here all the time. read more

Very tasty empanadas from a charming place with super nice employees and great service. If you like trying different types of empanadas there is a lot of variety here, and they also seem to change it out frequently. They seem to have some sort of loyalty card that gets you some deals too. The employees were very friendly and helpful (setting up table to eat, helping with order details, etc) The pork & cheesy rice empanadas were very good with the cilantro lime sauce. The yellow rice and beans that come with the Saturday special weren't mind-blowing but a nice addition. Maybe not the best idea to get a rice-y empanada with a rice side. The place lacks seating, but it's best suited as a pickup place anyways. I'd stop by frequently if I lived nearby. read more

Empanada Brothers - Saturday special with pork&cheesy rice empanadas - Empanadas Near Me - Seminole, Florida

I stopped at Empanada Brothers on the way home from a spontaneous St. Pete trip and we will 100% be back. Full disclosure this place is tiny. 4 tables and always packed. We ordered 2 $10 combos, a large fry, and 2 cheese empanadas. It was about $30. They did take a little to get the order to the table 15/20 minutes but it was well worth it. The empanadas are gluten free and made with corn that they boil, grind, and season in house. Everything we ordered was amazing perfectly seasoned, crispy, piping hot. read more

This is a very cute little hole-in-the-wall place and I'm so happy I discovered it a few years ago! The prices are very good and the empanadas are incredibly delicious. There isn't a ton of seating inside but these can easily be taken to go as well! The service was absolutely amazing, each person working was so friendly, helpful, and made sure we had the best experience possible. They set up a table for us, helped with choosing our orders, and checked on us multiple times throughout the meal. Every flavor I've tried here has been delicious and I love that they have so many unique and rotating options! Definitely a perfect lunch spot in the area. read more

It was very hot that day when I got there. Seems like the AC wasn't working, but it doesn't bother me because I got takeout anyways. It was my very first time there and they were super friendly. I got a lot of different flavors to try, and they were all very good. However, so far my favorite one is pork and potato, and also the guava mozzarella. read more

Second time stopping in and we love this variations they offer. The owners are their to assist with any questions or concerns with allergies you may have. They are made fresh upon order and don't sit under a heat lamp like most places. They also offer a variation of sauces to go along with empanadas. It's a small places with a few tables and chairs. Will recommend to anyone traveling thru the area. Menu items go quickly so make sure to go earlier in the day to avoid missing out. read more

So good! Hubby picked up 3 different flavors and brought them home for lunch so I did not get to go in so I can't comment on the place or service but hubby said it was great. The empanada were fantastic. I had the Reuben and the Cuban and both were yummy. Excellent filling to pocket ratio. Ready to go back! read more

My husband went today to pick up an assortment of flavors for us to try. We live in Carrollwood so it's a hike to get there but I'd been wanting to try since I'm gluten free and had been craving empanadas. The kids and I submitted our "orders" to my husband to bring home. Unfortunately they were out of several varieties but did a great job of substituting options. They were brought home cold so we could reheat them tonight for dinner. We put them in the oven at 350 for about 18 min and they came out perfect! Buffalo Chicken, Beef&Chorizo and Zesty Italian were the favorites for my family. The sauces were all amazing as well. I'll definitely be convincing my husband to make the trek again. (Sorry no photos as they dug in immediately after arriving home from swim practice) read more

I don't like giving any small business anything lower than a 5 star, but I don't understand people saying these are freshly made in front of you. I saw them more than once go outside and come back inside with bags of frozen empanadas. There was a Spanish lady making them in front of you, but those are not the ones we got. She was making a bunch and when you put 2 and 2 together: making a bunch and then seeing frozen ones coming in-I'm sure you're getting the previously frozen ones. That really threw me for a loop! However, I did like that they were very tasty (not like my aunt's from Central America) and I did like that they had many flavor options! The ambiance was just ok, too. It's in a strip mall and there are a few tables where you can eat from. Keep in mind, that the ONLY thing they serve are empanadas. They did have a great deal that you can get 4 empanadas (2 flavors) with 1 sauce and a drink for $10. The sauces are delicious and I LOVED that there was plenty of filling in the empanadas! Sometimes you go somewhere else and the empanadas are mostly dough. One more thing about the dough, I highly doubt these are made with real MASA. I don't know what they used, but it wasn't MASA. Nonetheless, they tasted good. Maybe Venezuela makes them without MASA? I don't know. I say try this place for yourself. That's what I did. read more

FIVE STARS I can't say enough good things about this place! Milo, the owner, is super responsive and did a FANTASTIC job of providing rice and beans and over 200 empanadas that were a TOTAL HIT with my guests! My guests were super impressed with the food, and I was glad to serve something that was tasty, flavorful and filing, but not just tacos like you usually get at parties. You will love using Milo for catering, but if you go in to get empanadas for your meal, make sure you get a desert empanada too. They are so incredibly good! 5 STARS read more

To look at the place you wouldn't think much of it. Ah-ha! You would be wrong. Delicious corn empanadas with many delicious flavors. Unlike another reviewer I did not find them to be oily or greasy. A simple place where you get your food and drink from the fridge but the empanadas! Don't expect fancy. But the empanadas. Yum! I had to go twice while we were there and no one in my family complained. They also had guava and cheese dessert one. I know doesn't sound ummm.. good.. but it was fantastic! Do yourself a favor and go! read more

As always, the friendly staff is so helpful. They are quick and efficient, especially on large orders. All of the food is fresh, hot and delicious! read more

Recently back from vacation in Clearwater beach. Had the absolute pleasure of eating at Empanada Brothers. They had a ton of filing choices and different sauces. Plus, my wife is allergic to gluten and nearly all of their empanadas were gluten free (only a couple of fillings had gluten ingredients). We tried varieties (2 each) and they were all very good (best was the cheese burger). They also had gluten free fries (a regular order was huge). We left stuffed, fully satisfied and no issues with gluten. We'll definitely be back on our next visit. read more

Service and food where absolutely amazing. Def recommend. They have the traditional empanadas and some with a twist.

Amazing! My sister told me about this place. I go every Friday after work and order the personal platter. Love the chicken with cheesy rice, buffalo chicken, philly cheesesteak. They have several different sauces to go with the empanadas. Everything I've had is delicious. They warm up well so I get extra for the weekend. Staff is super friendly. read more

We visited Empanada Brothers after stumbling upon them through Yelp/Google Maps while in Florida. They had great reviews, so why would we not check them out. This place DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Simply delicious! We decided to do their 6/$14 (you pick 3 flavors). They're were so many options that it was a hard choice.. but decided on spicy beef with cheesy rice, Cubano, and mango habanero chicken. The owner was so wonderful and helped us with the perfect dipping sauces. We also had a Arepa (it's like an open face empanada) deeeeelicious! While we were eating the owner brought us a couple more empanadas to try!! The broccoli cheese & roast beef w/pepper Jack. Again, wonderful!! The owner was soooo welcoming, friendly, and definitely makes sure your visit is deliciously satisfying. I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out!! We will be back! read more

Each & every time I am amazed at the variety & combos that just have me saying OMG with a full mouth. You have got to check them out, I now go at least once a week to get my fix. Everyone is kind and friendly, service is 5 stars and the "Star Wars" posters had me at hello. Small place inside but trust me that doesn't matter. It's a flavor wonderland! I always think I over-order, but believe me, I only think I should have gotten at least 1 or 2 more empanadas. Don't overthink it just go for it and know that you're getting an amazing meal. Trust them on combining your sauces to make it the best experience you have ever had! Thank you guys for always making my mouth water! you're the best!!!! read more

I remember my AP lit teacher saying something about the power of brevity? I will do my best to try, but there are so many emotions and words buzzing in my head after this takeout treasure. My review of Empanada Brothers begins with a phone call. I checked Instagram to see their latest menu post, to call in the order to go. Ashley answered the phone on the second ring. Her voice was like actual sunshine. She clearly explained what was available and what had already been sold out. After making our selection she asked what time we would be there to pick it up. We were about 16 minutes away. She told us she would coordinate the cook time to make sure they were perfectly fresh for us (excuse me I'm sorry I didn't realize I was calling the Four Seasons!?). Once we arrived, I masked up, entered the store and sitting there hot and fresh were my 3 empanadas. Ashley totally delivered. The shop was empty except for her and the owner. The empanadas are labeled on the box from left to right. The teriyaki was my favorite, the Cuban was super cheesy, and the buffalo chicken was surprisingly mild in heat. There are so many yummy sauces, it seems you can really customize your flavor by experimenting with the different sauces or by adding heat like Tabasco even! I had so much fun chatting with the two of them. They indulged us by sharing secrets about their favorite empanadas as well as the origins of the tasty twist on a Colombian tradition. Things I learned: -Columbian empanadas are traditionally made with a white potato in the filling -They refer time that as "grandma style" here -The buffalo chicken is the owners favorite, it's also one of the ORIGINAL menu items -They sell out FAST. Most popular ones to go are Philly cheesesteak and others like that! Things you should know before you go: -These little suckers are TASTY -You'll want more than 1 -They are a steal at $2 a piece -There is an $8 minimum card charge (they also take cash) -You can order a platter of empanadas for a family or a gathering (whenever we can have those again) that's right, step aside pub sub platters -They are starting to sell delish desserts by a local baker, I tried the baklava YUM I can't even recommend this shop enough. They have been around for a while and for good reason. Can't believe it took me so long to go. Definitely everything I needed in a #FirstTasteFriday read more

So I came here during the Corona fiasco. It's a little hole in the wall specialising in obviously empeñadas. THEY are homemade but frozen and then fried to order. $2 bucks for a tasty empi is a great price. Service was excellent and very friendly. Not sure if you can sit inside or not The empeñadas themselves were all excellent and served with pride. read more

The empanadas were freshly fried and absolutely delicious. He even added a bonus empanada (rotisserie chicken & muenster)! read more

Where to start...well, how about with the customer service. It has been a really, REALLY long time since I had the high level of customer service that I did here. The owners passion for empanadas and the compassion for the customer absolutely radiate from him. We talked about his business and menu offerings for a good 15 before placing our order. They have a giant list of empanadas that they make with a certain number that circulate weekly. Although frozen, the empanadas are handmade and come paired with amazing sauces. We couldn't decide which ones to try so we made the most logical decision - to get all of them! Honestly, there was not a single empanada that I did not like. My favorite may have been the pepperoni pizza, but it's a tough call. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. read more
