    Stopped by Empanada To Go while in the area definitely worth a visit! They offer both baked and fried options with a great variety to choose from. Each bite is packed with flavor, and don't skip the chimichurri sauce (it's extra, but worth it!). Portions are on the lighter side, so be ready to order more than one if you're hungry. Solid spot for a quick, tasty bite. Tell then team Smiley sent you.

    "Empanadas to Go" offers a tasty Argentinian treat and we've tried almost all their offerings. On our most recent trip, we ordered dozen plus two, along with some extra Chimichurri sauce. All were made fresh as we waited (ten-fifteen minutes). The waiting area is kind of small and the staff was mostly in the back working. But the wait is worth it. See the photos. Look at those toasted beauties.

    My family grew up eating Empanadas To Go, and I'm so happy to say the restaurant is still doing well! The empanadas were so delicious and filling, as always :) We had the beef, spinach&cheese, corn&cheese, spicy beef, and saltena- all baked. The dough/breading was soft yet still had a nice crisp layer. The inside was completely stuffed with ingredients (no air pockets)! The chimichurri sauce was perfect! Service was excellent! The cashier and the cook were both friendly and happy to help us. And our empanadas were ready within 5-10 minutes It's so good to be back :)

    3% charge on all card transactions. Wow, can't believe I never tried this place until now. Grab and go spot, no seating. We got all of our empanadas fried and they weren't greasy to the touch at all. Texture of empanada shells are perfect; chewy but soft and not too dense while the outside was crispy. Chimichurri is really good but mostly oil. About 3/4 of the 2oz is oil and only the bottom settled portion is the other stuff. I prefer scooping my chimichurri with a fork to avoid most of the oil, I usually grab 2 for myself for every 3-4 empanadas. Saltena -so flavorful. Loved that the chopped steak added a different texture. Spicy Beef -olives added just the right amount of saltiness. Eggs are hard boiled and added some texture back into the ground beef. Spicy Chicken - less salty than the spicy beef but just as good. Carnitas -soft and tender.

    Off the bookmarks. Out and about one day I looked up and the store was right in front of me . Located in a strip mall . It is a grab and go type of place . They have a few seats available for waiting outside . I spoke with another customer who had ordered a box full of empanadas. When I asked what they recommended they said it was their first time also and they bought based on word of mouth. Yes, word gets around about this place . I ordered 3 empanadas . 1 fried (dulce de leche )and 3 baked( spicy chicken and dulce de leche).The wait was not long at all. They were packaged in to go containers and tied up in a bag. I only tried the baked ones. The spicy chicken was good . The empanadas will come hot. There is no dining area so you might be like me and eat it in the car in their lot. No regrets. The empanadas come in at around $3 each. I also tried the chimichurri sauce and it paired nicely with my empanada. The dulce de leche empanada was as sweet as you'd expect it to be with a caramel undertone.The empanadas are small so keep that in mind when ordering .

    Love this place. Great service. Chicken and beef empanadas that are baked are delicious. I love both fried or baked but these are better baked actually. Get the chimichurri sauce. Perfect pairing. Last minute orders they can do so fast! Great for parties. I highly recommend this place.

    We can't say enough wonderful things about Empanadas To Go! They went above and beyond to prepare our order on a day they were actually closed over a holiday weekend, no less. That level of dedication and customer care is rare and truly appreciated. Not only was the service outstanding, but the food was phenomenal fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. We ordered Chicken, Beef, and Vegetarian Empanadas, and they were an absolute hit. You can taste the quality in every bite. And the pastries Arrollado, Pepitas, Canoncitos, and Palmertias were just as amazing. Thank you, Empanadas To Go, for exceeding expectations. You've definitely earned customers for life!

    A Must-Try Spot for Fresh, Flavorful Empanadas! I had heard great things about this place, so I finally decided to give it a try--and I'm so glad I did! I ordered the Steak & Cheese Empanada and the Salteña, and since everything is made to order, it took about 10 minutes to prepare. But trust me, it was well worth the wait. From the very first bite, I was blown away. The crispy, golden-brown crust gave way to a burst of rich, savory flavors and perfectly juicy fillings. The steak & cheese was incredibly satisfying, and the Salteña was packed with bold, delicious flavors. Hands down, one of the best empanadas I've had in a long time! The inside was spotlessly clean, and the man who served me was incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you go, I highly recommend getting a side of chimichurri sauce--it pairs perfectly with the empanadas! I'll definitely be coming back to try more menu items. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! Don't hesitate--go give it a try!

    Small place, perfect name -To go- they could perhaps have small tables outside, got several to taste, spicy chicken was the best one, tuna was second best for me - it didn't even taste like tuna so that was Good, I didn't like the ground beef ones because it has strong seasonings. They're good but they definitely need to be eaten there on the spot, not on the go so that they're nice and crispy when they go in your mouth'

    Who said you can't review a closed restaurant? I checked Yelp's policy, and there's no restriction…read moreon reviewing a closed one. But why am I writing about food from a restaurant that has already closed? Let's begin the story. It was January 2023 when I walked into the restaurant. A Messi poster in WPAP (Wedha's Pop Art Portrait) style was hanging on the wall, and a FIFA World Cup Trophy sat on the counter. It was less than a month after Argentina won the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with Messi as the team leader. They were also selling thermos flasks and phone cases painted with the Argentina football team. I had known this was an Argentine restaurant for a long time, dating back to 2016. I used to live in Glendora Village, just a ten-minute walk to the restaurant by crossing the railway. I didn't know the word "empanadas" before I came to Rika's, even though I had eaten similar food before. In China, there is Uyghur/Muslim food called "baked dumplings," stuffed with seasoned minced lamb, which are almost the same as empanadas. Compared with deep-fried empanadas, Rika's baked version was less oily, with more wheat flour aroma. Their empanada wrap also had a hint of sweetness, which made it very special. The first time I walked past the restaurant, on a random afternoon in 2016, I ordered four different empanadas to take away. At that time, they were $2.35 each. The restaurant was so kind that they wrote the flavor names on the food box. I still remember the experience-those empanadas were hot, aromatic, cheesy, and well-balanced. I was too full to have dinner that night. Later, I brought my family and friends to dine there. Not only were the empanadas delicious, but the deep-dish pizza, salads, and other dishes were also excellent. Let's talk about the empanadas. They had 16 different fillings, from simple ones like beef, sweet beef, spicy beef, ham & cheese, blue cheese, and onion & cheese, to more unique ones. What was interesting was that each filling had its own shape. Regular beef was half-round, sweet beef had both corners folded up, spicy beef had only the left corner folded up, and so on. FATAY (Arabian empanadas) were triangular, while bacon & prunes were square. I tried almost all the different fillings, and they were all good--never disappointing. Even after I moved to Pasadena, I still went back there. Then COVID-19 came. The restaurant closed for a short while, then reopened for takeout only, no dine-in. By June 2022, the price had risen to $2.85 each. By January 2023, it was $3.10 each. By June 2025, they closed permanently. I miss Rika's empanadas. I hope the chef is still baking them somewhere else. If so, please let me know.

    Rika's Empanadas is a great Argentinian restaurant specialized in Argentinian food and pastries …read more It is located in Grand Avenue Plaza in Glendora. The parking lot is shared with other businesses, but it is easy to find a spot. Rika's has different varieties of fresh and delicious empanadas.  Their savory menu includes cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, pizzas, calzones, and salads. They also have both savory and Sweet crepe. The restaurant is clean and has a cozy vibe. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. I ordered the following to go; One Dozen Empanadas; -Chopped beef    5/5 chopped beef, onions, bell peepers, chopped potatoes, boiled eggs and green olives - Fatay:       5/5 The filling is ground beef, fresh tomatoes, lemon juice, bell peppers, onions, garlic and parsley -Bacon and prunes;    5/5 the filling is bacon, prunes onions and mozzarella cheese -Chicken   5/5 It has chopped chicken, onions, egg and olive -chicken and mushrooms  5/5 It has chicken, mushrooms, leeks, green onions, chopped almonds&  parmesan cheese -  ham and cheese 5/5 Just ham and mozzarella cheese Beauty is in simplicity and this was perfect! All empanadas we tried had perfect crust and the filling was delectable and scrumptious. - A beef  milanesa sandwich  5/5 breaded fried aye of round beef (mayonnaise lettuce, tomatoes. The sandwich was both  huge and delicious. - A Four seasons pizza; This pizza was divided into four quarters with four different toppings ; the first quater was Ham & pineapple, the second quarter was pepperoni, the last two quarters are ham & red bell peppers then tomato garlic and mushrooms with green olives. The toppings were generous and very flavorful, and the crust enhanced the toppings. This Four Seasons Pizza was perfect and convenient. Everyone in my family got what they wanted.Finally, I got  nutella Sweet crepe (5/5) for dessert. It had nice texture and the chocolate hazelnut was rich and creamy. We enjoyed our dinner ,verything was delicious and flavorful.. It is a great food to try! I definitely recommend Rika's Empanadas.

I saw their pizzas which got my attention, but when I visited, I opted for one of their Argentinian (sausage or choripan) sandwiches and an empanada. I thought both were very tasty and the bleu cheese empanada I got was interesting. Never had one with bleu cheese before - at least from what I can remember. The bread on the sandwich was great! Not sure if they bake it in house, but it had a nice slight crunch and chew. Just note that this place operates as Furnos and Guido Deli & Pizza. As I understand it, the old name is still up as a homage to the previous owner who served the community for a long time. The space itself is pretty chill. It's pretty tiny, so I believe most of their business is take out. There are a few small tables outside if you want to eat there though. I really enjoy small, family operating businesses like this and will continue and try to support these type of businesses as much as possible. Also, just a great spot to get some quick eats at a more than reasonable price. Definitely want to explore more of the menu and for sure want to try their pizza soon.
