Delicious empanadas! Mushroom is the best. Love all the vegetarian empanadus. The lady who was here tonight was so helpful and friendly! Loved the cajeta pastries. Yum read more

I don't know. Two delicious 4 inch empanadas (chicken and pulled pork) with sauces as hot as you would want along with beef stew delivered with tip for $23. As for the beef stew, one question, "where's the beef?!" other than a few morsels. I just don't know. read more

Always so good!!! My favorites are spinach, corn, caprese, and apple pie empanadas. Pro tip: order ahead and ask for freshly baked.

This place is great. I first came the day before Thanksgiving and it was excellent. I was surprised to see an empanada place in Riverside. I saw they were open for Thanksgiving and that became Thanksgiving dinner. I ended up coming here again to bring things for a friend and then again to bring a box back home to San Diego. I am not vegan, but those vegan spinach and mushroom ones are the best, nit sure what they slice it with thst makes them different from the others. In addition to empanadas, they have soups and gelato. read more

The food all seemed fresh and there is a discount in day old empanadas. They are friendly and quick to help. There are a couple of tables just as you walk in and a bench outside. There is not much flare, that is all in the food. They offer stuff to go frozen and ready to eat. Also nice to have vegan and vegetarian options. read more

They have a variety of options including vegetarian and no dairy! Flavorful! Prices have increased, but where haven't they. Their service is good too! Small place. We usually grab and go. read more

The food options at Brookfield Zoo are expensive and limited so I did a search and found Empanadus located closeby. Since then, we've picked up empanadas from them 5+ times. Our favorites are: buffalo chicken, pepperoni, vegan potatoes, and our toddler's friend devoured the mushroom one. They're sized a bit smaller than other empanada eateries that we like, but that lets us try more flavors :) They also have chutneys and alfajores available as an add-on. read more

These empanadas are excellent! The crust is very flaky, the filling was tasty. It is awesome that they have veggie options! Great service as well! read more

This is really a 4.5 star review but I'll round up because, I guess, because I'm dope. I don't get out here (Riverside) too often so when I do, I try to hit all the top spots and this place kept popping up for their empanadas. The empanadas, as you can see, are a bit smaller but are completely filled with tasty ingredients. The crust is on the thinner side so these are just the right sized hand pies if you want to eat 4 to 6 in one sitting. We went with getting at least 25 so that we could get the discount. I also got suckered into buying a $5 container of chimichurri sauce. My thought is, if I'm getting over 25 empanadas, I should be getting as much chimichurri as I need, agreed?? Not quite, I only got two small containers so I bought extra. Anyway, I loved the mushroom, the Caprese (bursting with flavor - more like a quiche), the Spinach, the Sausage, the Banana Nutella was a 10 star dessert quiche and the apple pie rocked. I liked the chicken and beef for being so flavorful and meaty. There really wasn't a bad empanada in the entire bunch. And - the chimichurri sauce was good too. :) read more

We ended up here on a whim, and I'm so glad we stopped. Absolutely delicious Perfect place to get lunch after a day at the zoo. read more

Empanadus - Great selection, courteous staff, and absolutely delicious! - Argentine Near Me - Riverside, Illinois

Absolutely the best empanadas and service. Taste just like those made in Argentina by my late friends mother during WWII! They fill you up and are so tasty that I take home a set. Thanks so much. read more

Found this place thanks to Yelp and so happy I did!! They have amazing selection of empanadas which were all delicious! I recommend the spinach and the corn empanadas. They pair wonderfully with the jalapeño/habanero sauce . We tried a few others and also enjoyed very much. The empanada itself was very flaky and not bland. I will definitely be coming back to try the ones they were out of AND their delicious looking selection of gelato read more

I bless the day I stumbled across them at a Berwyn festival when we first moved to Chicago 10 years ago -- I've been going to their Riverside shop since read more

Love this place! Really enjoyed the spinach and mushroom empandas. Workers are very nice and approachable. A lot of students stop in after school as well. read more

We ordered 10 different empanadas from here and all of them were unique and delicioso! The staff here is extremely friendly and welcoming when you walk inside, and they even gave us 2 extra ones since we had ordered 8 to complete it to 10. Super nice of them honestly! Our favorites were the buffalo chicken, spinach, and mushroom! Please give this place a chance if you're in the area (or not! Lol) because they are so good. Support local businesses y'all! read more

Covid review- This south american savory pastry is so good when it is good and my friends it was fantastic here! We got five, many of them the last of the day, around 6 pm. They were in no rank: 1. Bbq pork- rich and meaty, like asian chasiu 2. Broccoli- most surprisingly delicious, buttery 3. Mushroom- complex, would pair well w sherry 4. Buffalo chicken- snacking i'd prob eat 10 by halftime 5. Caprese- different than the others/ felt french. Delicious. Best were the buffalo chicken and mushroom but we'd try other new flavors in a heartbeat! read more

Food: Tasty but over priced and tiny. Not for those who really want to have a proper meal. A soda and 1 empanada is almost $10. Service: Basic. Ambiance: Mids read more

The Empanadas are amazing!! Very well done. Great flavor. So many options and each of them with unique flavor from mushroom & spinach to bbq pork to ham and cheese. I've tried many of them and they are really good. I also appreciate that they have gluten feee options because of a family member with gluten allergy. read more

Empanadus, you surprised me. We had parked to go to Quincy distillery afterwards thinking they were on the same street. We most definitely parked on the wrong street, but so glad that we did that we got a chance to walk by YOU empanadus. Crispy empanadas with a delightful bite with the ones my gf and I bit into (buffalo chicken, 4 cheese, mushroom, and broccoli). The mushroom and buffalo chicken was the most savory and mouth watering of the four, although I would definitely have the others again. I would definitively go again. Let's go! read more

Fantastic selection of fresh, tasty empanadas. Everyone in my family is able to find flavors they love. I'm a big fan of the chimichurri sauce. Also, this is my son's favorite ice cream spot (mango gelato, actually). read more

Wow - excellent food! Much better than I expected this place to be. It's a little grab & go spot, nowhere inside to sit down. I tried the chicken and beef empanadas and I was not disappointed! Lots of flavor and the chimichurri sauce was great too. Will definitely swing by again to pick up lunch when I'm in the area. read more

Well, I do enjoy this place and I do recommend it. I will see how I feel. It's a bit over priced for simple empanadas.

Very good food especially the guacamole Clean cozy and great service Nice to have it in the neighborhood read more

After taking a few bites of one of the empanadas I had, I saw a bug crawling on the rest of them out of the corner of my eye. I immediately went back to the establishment where the lady did not apologize ONCE and thought I wanted MORE of the food I was just given with a bug. I had to ask for my own money back. Said absolutely nothing to me. DISGUSTING read more

Empanadus - A bug on my empanada - Argentine Near Me - Riverside, Illinois

So I use to stay in Berwyn and I always use to pass this place but I never decided to stop in because I had another Argentine place that I use to buy them from. Now the other place drop the ball and I now live in Orland Park so my wife was I want some empanadas....so bam I stopped by yesterday and let me tell you they are so good and more selection. The only problem that I had was that I purchased 12 empanadas and $2.88 and I only received one small container of chimichurri sauce....yes one for all 12 empanadas, I asked the young lady that was attending me what was that about and she reply's managers rules. Now they have a little jar maybe 2.5 oz for $5 bucks...and this other big one....I just didn't want to ask for the price but I bet it was maybe like $50 bucks or something like that. Anyways that is why I'm giving them 4 stars the other one I'm keeping for managers rules. I know the pandemic and everything but cmon man....12 empanadas one small container....like the one you used for extra ketchup. Will I come back yes....but I'm going to learn to make my own chimichurri. read more

After spending the day at the zoo and avoiding overpriced food we decided to use Yelp yet again to find our next meal/snack and that's how we stumbled upon Empanadus. I loved everything about our experience, yes they only have two tables on the inside, it's honestly a tiny building but it's totally worth it. We ordered the bacon, sausage, buffalo chicken and caprese, they were all bite sized but packed so much flavor in every bite on top of the chimi churro sauce they give with the empanadas, this tiny spot was just divine. And the little town it was in had so much character which made this stop that much more enjoyable. read more

Today I order 50 empanadas as a treat for my staff. I go to pick up the empanadas and was told because it was one order I would only be eligible for 1 free 2oz chimichurri sauce. It was explained you get one per order regardless to the size of the order. This is ridiculous! I guess going forward I will inconvenience the staff by placing individual orders! Actually I can say I will be back. The employee says,I understand what you are saying"I just work here." Good grief! read more

Large variety of Empanadas flavors including 2 flavors for dessert! Not greasy and very full of flavor - can't pick a favorite but don't forget the chimichurri sauce! read more

Just the fact that there exists a dedicated empanada shop in the burbs makes this a five star place for me, but I'm happy to report that it also involves amazing flavors and friendly service! I was thrilled with all the veggie options. Being a vegetarian can be pretty sad when it comes to Latin American food in the suburbs, but at empanadUS there's as many veg items as meat items: caprese, spinach, mushroom, corn, onion, broccoli, and apple. I ordered the mushroom, corn, and spinach. They were all very good, but the flavor of the mushroom was by far the best. Pretty sure I could actually feel the endorphins shooting into my brain as I devoured it along with their excellent Chimichurri sauce. My partner heartily enjoyed the sausage and BBQ pork. Note: You get as much of the Chimichurri as you want when eating in, but when taking out, they only give you one cup of the stuff for every 3 empanadas. I found that I pretty much needed one cup per empanada, so we had to get a few extra at $.50 per cup. Can't wait to return! read more

I don't know much about empanadas, but I do know that these empanadas are excellent. I crave them. I could never say no to an an empanada from here, even if I'm already stuffed. I've depended on EmpanadUS for a quick and affordable lunch. For a mere $2.50 per empanada, you can really load up on a bunch of empanadas for a fairly cheap price. My favorites are probably the sausage one and the ham one, but you really can't go wrong with any of them. I enjoy the vegetarian-friendly ones, too, in particular the corn, spinach, and onion ones. There are also a bunch of beverage options and, somewhat recently, they offer gelato, too. I haven't tried that yet, so I'll have to do that when it gets a little bit warmer out. There is some seating available--a few tables with two high chairs each. I wouldn't count on there necessarily being somewhere to sit, especially during prime eating times, but it's can be nice if you're in the mood. Whenever I've been here, I typically choose to order to go. Also, my review would be remiss without adding that the customer service is really great. Everyone with whom I've interacted with has been really friendly and pleasant. I highly recommend this business to others regularly and I'm glad I can now also recommend EmpanadUS to the Yelp community, as well. read more

Empanadus - Always a good snack. Not pictured a banana Nutella dessert empanada with Gelato on top! - Argentine Near Me - Riverside, Illinois

I've had empanadas all over America. These are truly the best I've ever had. I had EmpanadUS last year at the Do Division festival and was blown away. The mushroom empanadas were amazing. I went back to Do Division today and damn near cried when I couldn't find EmpanadUS. There was another popular restaurant there, and I had to pass. The best I've ever had. read more

The food is great very authentic delivery service was precise and they contacted me to make sure everything was correct I will definitely be ordering again thank you so much for your professionalism read more

This place has fabulous gelato. My family has a thing for pistachio gelato and there's has chunks of pistachios! If you're in the area and looking for a cold sweet treat don't hesitate! read more

My dad surprised us with a bunch of empanadas from here a few days ago. The mushroom and caprese empanadas knocked it out of the park. WOW! I can't wait to come back again. And again. The flakiness of the crust and the savory, yet not overwhelming interior "guts" are the perfect amount of savory. Eating one of these between lunch and dinner as a snack to tide you over would be the absolute perfect time to go over to empanadUS for a taste bud party. Delish! read more

Delicious. Cute spot. Empanadas and gelato...we could live here. I really like the beef empanadas. It has olives in it that bring out the juiciness of the meat which complicates the crispy shell. So tasty. Definitely get the sauce even though it costs a little more. The only thing is that it doesn't have a bathroom. There are about three bar tables as seating. We easily found a table on a Tuesday night. Parking lot is adjacent to the store. Frozen empanadas available and they can deliver to your door once a month. read more

Happened by this place by chance. What a great find! Super delicious empanadas which are hard to find in Southeastern Georgia. They ship thankfully read more

Well worth the trip! Really liked the savory and sweet empanadas. Would definitely go back again.

Hand pies with a South American flair. Made fresh, so try to control yourself from eating them as you leave the storefront. Delicious and well seasoned. Several options for the vegetables forward crowd. read more

Pass by this small shop all the time, really glad I stopped. Great selection for whatever you like, meat or veg. Really enjoyed the fresh fruit (apple) read more
