Like many other reviewers, food was excellent, Tony is great with all the customers and the cafe is quaint and very clean (i just loves the napkin holder). Highly rate this cafe, give it a try. Pictured is the "seared ahi tuna sandwich" and "vegetable soup with flat bread" Enjoy read more

- THE SOUP GETS BOTH OF THESE STARS - As much as I had hoped to agree with everyone here, I felt the empanadas were probably passable for someone who had never had absolutely delicious empanadas before. All of the selections were severely lacking in flavor. And Jesus H. Christ were they dry. I went through 2 large glasses of water to get it all down. Awfully pricey for the "meal" portions, too. You'll get 2 little empanadas and a small cup of soup for $12. I have owned a restaurant, and that is not a very good deal (at all) for the ingredient and labor costs. And the three of us were a bit hungry again only 30 minutes after we ate, so yeah: not returning. More hype than value. That soup, though? That was really good. read more

This place has been open for a bit now and my daughter had been trying to get me to take her, but I had not been in until today. That was a mistake on my part, because I should've been eating here the whole time. Inside is nice and clean. Lots of two-tops and a couple fours. Not a huge place but plenty of seating. Ordering is done at the counter and they bring it out to your table. Food was amazing, truly loved my meal. It's the best meal I've had in a good while. Everything is very fresh tasting, my salad was awesome, the empanadas were perfect. Restaurant staff is very friendly as well, and I was able to sample their house soup, which was so amazingly good that I am 100% getting it next time I come here. Which will be very soon. read more

Empanada Stop - The Empanada Meal with Tinga Chicken Empanadas and Caesar Salad - Burgers Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Had a great early dinner at The Empanada Stop...absolutely delicious! Everything was made with fresh ingredients, and the service was incredible. This place is truly a hidden gem. We ordered a garden salad, empanadas, and a pastrami sandwich with house-made chips. They also let us sample the house soup and the ice cream and baklava, which were both amazing. We loved the soup so much we took some home for later. The prices are very affordable for the quality of food you get. Highly recommend! read more

The menu was so big and everything sounded delicious so I did the American thing and got a burger. It was absolutely delicious and I really enjoyed the different bread for the bun! It was super juicy and moist and flavorful. Didn't love the tiramisu but that's alright, the chips on the side of my burger were good instead, super smokey instead of salty which was new! read more

Amazing food and service. Chicken tinga and cheese empanadas were the best. Servers were very kind and attentive!

Great Experience! Tony owner/manager/front of the house and team took care of business Clean, nice space Empanadas were good.. I would've preferred a little more flaky.. the beef was the best.. dipping sauces were a red sauce and an olive oil base Soup sample was perfect.. nice broth with cauliflower that tasted as if you were fine dining Baklava Ice Cream was outstanding.. perfect portion, flaky Baklava with creamy vanilla ice cream Will be back to try their sandwiches and burgers.. they look incredible read more

It's hard to imagine how a place can get such high reviews until you try it and then it all makes sense. Stopped by recently and immediately knew it would be a favorite of ours. Pastrami sandwich is one of the best sandwiches in all of Portland, definitely one of my favorite meals in town. We've also had the tri-tip and the prime rib, both were amazing too but the tri-tip had a nice bright flavor with the delicious aioli and peppers. Everything is always fresh and house made, all of it super flavorful. Beef empanadas are incredible with a fresh chimichurri. On top of all that, they're always super nice with great service. Can't recommend enough! read more

The owner was so friendly and explained everything was made there from scratch. He gave us samples of the delicious cashew cauliflower soup after we ordered empanadas and salads which were delicious!! The garden salad was definitely different from the usual fare and the empanadas were amazing with two great tasting sauces- the chimichurri was our favorite! The ice cream and pistachio baklava was perfect !! Highly recommend!! read more

The cauliflower soup is so good! Unforgettable! The customer service is also great. Highly recommend! read more

This is the 2nd time we've eaten at Empanada Stop. The food is fantastic! The 1st time we were given a sample of the house soup (cauliflower & cashew) and also the baklava. After that sample, I knew I would order it this time. It is so creamy & smooth, and tastes like a light cheese soup. So yummy on a cold PNW day. The beef empanadas are so good, lightly seasoned and not at all greasy. The chimichurri sauce adds a little herby spicy kick to it. They now have a butternut squash soup which we tried. Also smooth & creamy and mildly spiced. The owner is very warm and friendly. Service is very fast and the dining area is bright and clean. Restroom is clean as well. We enjoyed all the food and will definitely be back! read more

First time in. Super clean. Order at counter. Host very friendly and helpful Pastrami sandwich. Homemade bread, delish. Good pastrami. Plenty of sauerkraut. Because the bread is so fluffy, could use more thousand island, maybe. Comes with homemade barbecue chips. Good Smash burger. Again, homemade bun. Well cooked burger. Very tasty. Chips also. Host brought a small serving of pistachio baklava with ice cream. Yum. Like most other reviewers, no complaints read more

My friend and I both had the empanada meal with cashew cauliflower soup. The soup was delicious and unique. The chicken and cheese empanada had flaky crust and ample meat and cheese. It was an upscale gastropub level of meal. We had the pistachio baklava with ice cream that was very tasty and the right amount of sweet. Quick and pleasant service. Highly recommend. read more

Freshest and most flavorful pastrami sandwich I've ever eaten! Enjoyed the taste test of Creamy Cauliflower soup, regretting not getting a bowl! I will be back for more. The surprise pistachio treat and vanilla ice cream was a grand finale to the meal. Tony was phenomenal, best customer care I've had in a restaurant in a very long time. Thank you read more

We've been meaning to come here for a while. Because the place looks intriguing and well organized. We finally made it in and it's as clean and organized on the inside as it is on the outside. Everything we sampled was delicious including the baklava. Customer service was excellent, friendly, and helpful and explained everything to us in detail. There is enough seating that you shouldn't have an issue finding a seat, and plenty of parking outside. There are so many items on the menu that look delicious, that I will be back multiple times to try everything. read more

Far exceeded our expectations, so pleasantly surprised! We were traveling and beleaguered and stopped in with a 5 year old not expecting much and we were all delighted at how good everything was. My daughter loved some cheese and beef empanadas. They're flaky and thin with really flavorful and robust fillings. I got a super healthy and really delicious bowl with quinoa and roasted veggies and fresh avocado and a smoothie. They even brought out some complementary ice cream and baklava for us for absolutely no reason and were so kind and welcoming. Highly recommend, we'll definitely be back. read more

The E-Stop is worth your while to check out. Great care is taken with your order; everything is scratch made - even the hamburger buns, and sandwich bread. (Not the ketchup or mustard though, said Tony! ) The empanadas are just a nice flaky hand pie, with good flavors. The smash burger is a giant flavor bomb. The macro bowl is this healthy meal for you. Terrific. We're trying sandwiches tonight - grilled chicken & a tri-tip. I'll let you know. Tony and his family are wonderful hosts; friendly, and he remembers return customers. His café is always very clean. If you want some wholesome, well made food, this is the place! PS. The sandwiches are amazing. Homemade bread, pickles, potato chips! Delicious. read more

Quite a few of my friends and colleagues recommended stopping by here. They offer so many great vegan options. The food is VERY fresh tasting and well made. Everything I tried was incredible! The owner Tony is a very pleasant person who made sure to speak with and great all of his customers. The location itself Is very clean and you can tell they care about it the way it looks. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by! You'll be happy you did! Headed there now for my second time already! This place is EXACTLY what Gresham needed :-) read more

Service: fantastic, the guy at the counter was friendly and helpful! Food: dear god I was not expecting this. The cashew cauliflower soup was creamy, delicate and balanced. With that quality and flavor I'd expect to see a Micheline Star on the wall. The steak sandwich and chips were superb! They said everything, including the bread and chips, were made in house and I could tell. My only complaint is that I live half an hour away so I can't eat here every day. read more

One of the best places in town! A hidden gem. We've been back 4 or 5 times! They always give us a little treat or dessert on the house. The empanadas are fantastic. Everything is made from scratch (even the breads and the chips!) it's fantastic. Try the soup too! read more

Ok I just have to give the biggest shoutout to Empanada Stop on Stark and Hogan in the shopping mart near Harbor Freight. Everything was made fresh including their bread and they were handing out samples of their Autumn soup along with dessert. Homemade baklava and ice cream.
