Delicious! The salteñas taste just like my Grandma's! Authentic Argentine empanadas. Chimichurri is excellent, too. A couple and a salad make a great lunch or dinner. Get a box of 10 frozen to take and bake for a great weeknight meal made easy. You won't regret it. read more

Excellent empanadas and fresh soups and sauces. Beef and mushroom were our favorite flavors. Great vibe and great service.

We were in LaGrange for an Art Fair and thought we would stop in for some empanadas. Outside they had a large menu with their offerings and it stated 3 for $15. When we went in we were told not to pay attention to the menu outside and they were not offering the 3 for $15. We wanted the corn empanadas, but it would have been a 15 min wait, so we tried the caprese and chicken. Both were very good. Sauces are extra. The food was good, but the menu is misleading. read more

The empanadas are always hot and delicious. The new saltena steak one was amazing with the jalapeno sauce. It was a party in my mouth. The service is consistent. The one empanada that I can never seem to get is Nutella and banana. They have many options to select between. Some may think they are a bit pricey but I celebrate smaller local shops. The ambiance is welcome but it's a plain seating area. I drop in at least once a month. read more

Trying this place for the first time after I heard they offer a couple vegan empanadas on the menu. I ordered the potato and bean one, but it wasn't already in the case, so they made a fresh one which took about 15 min. Good to know if you're just picking up to call ahead. It was really good and came with a chimichurri sauce. My favorite part was how they stamped "vegan" right on the empanada (see photo) so I didn't have to wonder if I got the correct thing! read more

Fun and casual little spot to grab a bite or carryout in downtown LaGrange. We stopped during the busy LaGrange art fest. The empanadas are tasty! Some are more traditional and some are modern and fun. We ordered an assortment to share. We liked them all, even the apple pie dessert one. Restaurant was clean and tidy. read more

Empanadas were delicious, but the lentil soup was even more amazing! The chimichurri (sp?) was very good as well.

Cute, clean little place. There's a wide selection of empanadas, served with a delicious, garlicky chimichurri sauce. Popular varieties are available right away from the heated case. Other flavors not available in the case can be prepared and ready in about ten minutes. Beverages available, as well as condiments like Cholula or my favorite, Siracha. Guy at the counter was cordial and polite. There are a few tables for indoor seating, and a small outdoor patio seating area in front. They offer frozen empanadas to take home, bake and enjoy; frozen empanadas can also be delivered for a fee. Empanadus is a good choice for lunch or a quick snack! read more

Friendly staff! Good lunch deals. Empanadas: Love that they are baked and labeled! Beef- didn't care for the olives in it. Wouldn't get again. Corn- my favorite, creamy and delicious Sausage- cheese and sausage deliciousness Bacon- my husband didn't care for Spinach- has tons of spinach in it. You have to really like spinach. Nutella and banana- so yummy! Tons of Nutella. read more

Delicious authentic & reasonably priced! I highly recommend this family owned local shop! They also reheat well so they are great catered for your parties read more

We were trying to find a snack to hold us over until dinner time and came across this shop in downtown La Grange. They had about 14 kinds of empanada. We tried the tuna, ham and cheese, pepperoni, and corn. All four were delicious, flaky, flavorful and tasty. Reasonably priced at $2.75 a piece, this was a perfect little place to come and get a snack or lunch. I did notice that you can buy the empanadas frozen and they also have soup you can take to go. I'm sure we'll come back to either get some for weeknight snacks or bring to a party. They're very versatile and authentic to Argentinian empanadas. read more

Is there really a need for me to post a third review? Yes, there is. Once again, empanadUS does its thing and does it very well. These small crusty filled items are delicious and are a welcome change from the typical "fast food" places. I'm not putting down the two leading burger and fries purveyers, I like them as much as anyone, but these empanadas with their wide variety of flavors can't be equaled by a burger. While empanadUS generally has a stock of ready to eat empanadas, I dig it when I'm told there could be a ten to fifteen minute wait for my order. That guarantees my food is going to be hot, crispy and fresh, and they don't disappoint. The restaurant seems to be kept clean and the bright decor, sans any advertising posters, gives off a good feeling sort of vibe. There are restrooms for customers, also kept clean. Of course, prices have gone up a couple of times. What used to sell for $2.79 is now priced at $3.29, with canned soda and bottled water going for $1.80. Our two person meal today which included seven empanadas (two to take home) and one can of soda came to over $27.00. A bit steep I thought but these days it's easy to drop a minimum of forty to fifty dollars on lunch. One last thing. This would've and should've been a five star review. After dining, my friend and I wanted to sit outside for a spell before moving on. The restaurant has three compfortable benches and a wrought iron table that customers (I assume) leave in shambles. Spilled drinks, napkins and food bits are traces left behind. We sat for a moment until my partner couldn't stand it any longer and I felt the same as she. The owner needs to pay attention to that because it's what greets you when you're about to enter. Mind you, this is not a reflection of either the food or interior. read more

Killer! They have all kinds of amazing Empanadas, even Vegan ones! All delicious... read more

Amazing empanadas. We stop when we are in the area and get a selection of empanadas but always include mushroom, spinach and ,new favorites , caprese and beef. Make sure to include the chimichurri sauce. It is extra but totally worth it. read more

We were in the area and I wanted to try this place for a snack, but ending up having lunch here. The guy was very nice and helpful. I chose the chicken empanada and spinach empanada lunch special. Very cute how they have what is stamped on there. The chicken was good and the spinach one was okay. I also got a banana nutella dessert which was good. I also got a alfajor. I ate that later, but thought it was a bit dry. My guy got the BBQ Pork empanada and Pepperoni Empanada lunch special. The BBQ Pork one was good. He said the pepperoni one was meh. Not a bad snack for some, but for me it was a meal. read more

Tried this place for the first time. They sell pretty much just empanadas and they have a pretty good selection. I had beef, cheese, onion, caprese, and banana/Nutella. All were very good. Only reason for not giving them a 5 star review is the empanadas are pretty small, and a bit pricey! Joe says, "Just because you can put a whole one in your mouth doesn't mean you should." read more

I had the mushroom spinach,chicken and a sweet apple empanada. I didn't like the mushroom spinach but the apple one made up for it . Overall, avergae experience They do sell frozen if you want to heat at your home. read more

So sad I don't live closer! I had a perk from Grubhub and decided to try out this place and glad I did. The menu is simple and straightforward with all kinds of varieties of empanadas--14 in fact, including a couple of vegan ones. I ordered 3--ham and cheese, chicken and a vegan spinach and mushroom. Was thrilled to also see different types of alfajores on the menu too! I could see that they had coconut, milk/white chocolate/nutella, I ordered a coconut one and was excited since I have lived in Argentina before and always crave those little desserts especially when freshly baked. When I came in for pickup the smell was heavenly. I could see freshly baked empanadas in a glass case along with freshly made alfajores. I was also impressed with their refrigerator with a couple of items including boxes of empanadas you could take home with you as well as a couple of premade soups from the fridge. I also see that they deliver for a cost of five dollars! Worth it in my opinion if you live in the area. As for the flavors of the empanadas they were excellent--flaky, lots of flavor, filling. Cute how they printed the type of the empanada in the crust. However, after the empanadas were over, I eagerly looked in the box and bag for the alfajor and it was missing. :( I was so bummed! By then I was nearly 50 mins away from the location and couldn't go back. I was sad that my order which consisted of only 4 items didn't make it. I might them again but am a little bummed by this lack of detail and had to knock off 2 stars for my disapointment. read more

The fillings were hot and really good. We ordered 10 to try the variety. The nutella/banana was soft and gooey deliciousness. The corn was like eating corn chowder in a baked dough. Yum! The beef and chicken were good. We also liked the tuna. Mushroom empanadas were also tasty. We have not eaten the apple pie. Next time, we'll try a different variety. The stew looked really good, too, and we want to try that next time. Since we bought the 10, the price was $2.25 for each, including the dessert emanadas. It was worth it. I used Yelp to order online, and I had to wait a few minutes for the order to finish baking. Parking is usually hit or miss, but I found a spot just outside the store. The smells of the baking alone drew me into the restaurant. There was a couple eating in, but I saw several orders to go leaving, too. read more

Delicious! When you go be sure to get the mushroom empanada and get the chimichurri sauce!

Delicious as a snack or as a meal. My favorites are the beef and chorizo. My first time there I had their lentil/quinoa soup and it was delicious but I haven't seen it there since. Wish they could bring them back. read more

Came here on opening week. The only reason I found out about this place is that I received a flyer in the mail...and if your bring the flyer in you get a free empanada! This place is very small and like someone mentioned the seating is all wrong. Good thing I was taking it to go. If you do plan on taking your order to go they actually sell the empanadas frozen where you can heat them at home yourself. I didn't order them frozen though. I ordered: Mushroom (My Favorite!) Chicken (very stuffed...I was surprised on how stuffed it was...very good!) Corn (ehhh I wouldn't order this one again) BBQ Pork: (it was okay) I definitely want to try a few more soon.. I am so glad that there is something new like this in La Grange! read more

Why have I been craving these things....when I never had them before? Probably too much food network but being that this was my first experience with empanadas. I'm glade to cross this off my food bucket list. I took a chance on coming here vs. the original location over on Riverside despite them both being about the same driving distance. The only difference I think it is the gelato is packaged in containers. (not sure if this is franchise or actually the 2nd store.) but either way this location is great area and the employees were very welcoming when I walked in. Although I'm not a starbucks fan sitting at table with a computer. Did notice the free Wi-Fi sign and could see coming here and people watching at the window or in front of the bench outside. Came in around 7pm and only had a few empanadas in the window but told me that they would make whatever I wanted. Got a variety between bacon, beef, BBQ pork, chicken, Came with chimichurri sauce on the side (which needs to be shaken constantly before pouring them on as the oil rises to the top and spices drops fast to the bottom.) They reminded me of mini calzone. Bacon wasn't what I was expecting as this is more for breakfast time item. chicken was excellent. Beef although good to many olives. BBQ pork was good wish a litter better BBQ sauce but would ordered it again. Products had a nice thin flaky crust despite that were delicious I'll be trying the mushrooms and caprese next time. read more

Ordered empanadas for work and they were pretty amazing. When we called in the customer service was horrible but the food made up for it. Got to try a little bit of everything but personally my fav was the one that tasted like a pizza! The outside of the empanadas are to die for! Defiantly want to order from here again! Make sure you eat them while their hot... If you don't they can taste a little salty and not as good! read more

Tasty! Nice variety of empanadas. Don't worry about ordering more than one type of empanada- they either have the filling stamped into the sealed edge of it, or it has a unique shape. They were open for barely a week when I went in. The menu isn't visible until you are literally at the counter. There was nothing else on the walls, so I hope thay add a little excitement and hang up something soon. read more

Just stopped here real quick and grabbed a spinach and chicken empanada. Great customer service. The guy at the counter was quick to get me checked out. And when I mentioned I was eating in my car he offered me some chimmichuri sauce. The food and sauce was so delicious. I devoured them. Thank you empanadUS for the pleasant experience. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors. read more

What a great find! To be honest I never had one before I came into this restaurant and I was blown away by the simplicity of the food packed with so much flavor. I asked the person taking my order of they had any caprese and he said they are the most popular and it would only take 10 min to make some. This was near closing time. Great customer service. They were so good. I also got a spinach empanada and it was just as delicious. The dipping sauce of garlic, olive oil, and a few herbs complimented the empanadas. The decor well very well lit and had a Spanish pavilion feel to it. I'll be back when next in area. read more
