I am the first to admit that when it comes to Latin American food, especially South American, I am as picky and demanding as they come. I grew up eating the stuff, empanadas were to me what peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are to most kids. Its hard for me to find an empanada here in Toronto that impresses me, specially since my grandma's and sister empanadas are so delicious! Jumbo Empanadas is a small, dark and boiling hot restaurant offering three items: Empanadas (chicken,beef,veggie or cheese), Humitas, and Pastel de Choclo (Savoury Corn Pie). I came here with my mom totally famished and looking forward to some comfort food. To start, this place is crazy busy. The line to place your order is pretty long, and it doesn't move particularly fast. Once you get to the front of the line, you will be greeted by what is possibly the crankiest and most antisocial, too cool for school girl I have ever seen. This chick is totally pms'ing hard core. Anywho, I placed my order of one corn pie, one humita, and 1 beef empanada. I then went to sit and wait for my food to be warmed up and brought to me. About 5 minutes later the same sour faced girl came out and dumped our food on the table without a word. Whatever, I came here for the food. Now, the food... The humita was seriously horrendous. Humitas are made of fresh grated corn, mixed with fresh cheese and cilantro (optional) wrapped in corn husks and steamed or baked to a perfectly coagulated and doughy consistency. If made correctly, humitas can be addicting and delicious. This however was not the case at Jumbo's. Yuck, that's all I can say. We had one bite and left the rest. Totally tasteless and undercooked. My mom (the humita queen) should go and give the cook a few tips. The pastel de choclo was equally disappointing. Not as bad as the humitas, but equally bland and devoid of seasoning. When corn pie is made correctly it is sweet, salty, and smoky all at the same time. This pie was none of these things. It was one dimensional and boring. It is filling though, and I guess it is good if you don't know any better. However, I've had the real thing, and this just wasn't up to snuff. Now, the Empanadas. These were good. The filling is traditional (black olive and boiled egg included). These reminded me of my last trip to Chile and all the empanadas I wolfed down. Yummmm! The empanada was so good that I lined up again and got 4 more beef and 4 cheese to go. Hey, if something is good, you better stock up! Plus, these are great for breakfast. I'll definitely be getting more empanadas from here, however I won't ever be eating either the corn pie or humitas again. Next time I have a craving for an humita I'll just wait for my mom's yearly gigantic humita bake off. read more

AMAZING!! had a chicken empanada w a side of salsa. Cost me 6.22$ and I was full after. Empanada is a very healthy size and everything about it from the dough to all the insides was absolutely delicious. It is baked which I really appreciated. Dough is crunchy and tastes amazing, almost like a pretzel. Chicken filling was moist and juicy and so flavorful, salsa had great fresh flavour and a nice kick. I had never had empanadas before today but I will most definitely be back. Cannot beat the value and quality this place offers. You can tell everything is made with care and fresh ingredients. I am a fan. read more

SO DELICIOUS! I love this Kensington gem. It's one of those places that doesn't stand out too much, but is so insanely delicious. My personal favorite order: - Beef Empanada - Salad (to be shared with my dining partner) - San Pellegrino (Blood Orange, ideally). I can get this all for about $10 - a great value for a filling and delicious lunch! The only downside to this place (which is also a perk, in a way) is the limited seating. If you're going around lunch time, it can be totally packed, which makes waiting and eating a bit more difficult. I tend to go elsewhere if I'm there for a super busy time. Also a warning to fellow raisin haters out there: the beef empanada has 3-4 (yes, I've counted) GIANT (gross, bleh) raisins baked inside. Fortunately their giant-ness makes them easy to spot and remove! read more

Great staff. Fast service. Amazing flavors. I can't help myself when I walk past this place. I'll go in and just grab an enchilada for my walk home. They taste so good, you should definitely try it if you can. read more

Beef and Cheese Empanadas. Filling and good and convenient and held their shape well. Do remember to dip in that lovely salsa of theirs I'm definitely coming back to eat some other schtuff! read more

Not sure why this place is called "Jumbo Empanadas" when the real name should be "Fucking Delicious Corn Pie"! Those crazy Chileans. First off, the empanadas are good. Really good. And cheap ($4). However, the size of the empanadas (I swear) has shrunk over the years. I don't know exactly, but if they cut the size down 10%, you can see the cost savings this amounts to spread over years. I think it's an empanada conspiracy. This is good reason for you to opt for the corn pie instead. It's like a sweet corn Sheppard's pie consisting of chicken and beef (yummers), raisins, olives, and sweet corn . As one friend put it, it's Boneriffic. LOONIE & TOONIE RECOMMENDATION: $1.99 for a cheese empanada or $1 for a mini-empanada. Oh yeah! read more

Someone else said it already, "The food is good but not spectacular." The menu is pretty basic (chicken, beef, or cheese empanadas). We ordered 1 beef and 1 cheese. With two drinks, our food came out to $11. Jumbo Empanadas is a good stop in Kensington Market for cheap eats especially if you don't want a heavy meal. They're also good for sharing. I preferred the cheese empanada by far. I'm really surprised that a place that has "empanadas" in the name doesn't have a bigger variety or do something a little more creative. The cartoon empanada painted on the door is adorable though. read more

Dear, Jumbo Empanadas, Yes, Please. I adore this place. Looking to eat on the cheap? Perhaps dazzle your jealous co-workers with your lunch on a given Tuesday afternoon? Jumbo Empanada delivers. And I love it. You will too, if you give it a try. The beef empanadas are a good size. I'm not a fan of white doughy foods, and sometimes the crust is a bit hard, however, the book I'm judging holds ground with what's inside. What is inside, you ask? Nicely spiced ground beef, mixed in with some surprising (atleast to me) treasures - a few plump raisins, black olives, and chunks of boiled egg. It works. Dip it in the salsa. Love it. The salsa is so good, I just want to rub it all over myself. But I don't. I save it for the empanada. Duh. Happy times, friends. Happy times. Oh - I picked up a corn pie one day, and it fed me for four. How's that for a bargin? read more

BEEF EMPANADA totally wonderful. for $3.99, you get a big empanada that's stuffed with beef, onions, olives and chunks of hard-boiled egg. the empanada is flavourful and juicy. i love the way the egg balances the flavours with a more mild taste. it's a must-get. CHEESE EMPANADA meh. it's tasty. i mean, it's melted cheese inside fried dough/pastry. but that's the thing: that is exactly what it tastes like - melted cheese and fried dough. nothing too special. but i went today and the person in front of me ordered 10 of them. and the person before him ordered three of them. so...give it a try. it's only $1.85 or something close to that (it's a mini empanada). CHILEAN SALAD lettuce, avocado, onions, tomatoes, dressed in a cilantro and olive oil dressing. don't order it unless you just need to have something refreshing and light. it's nothing special at all. i could not taste a bit of cilantro in the dressing, which was really disappointing because the cilantro was a big part of why i ordered the salad. also, the description for the salad on the wall said that there was going to be broccoli; nope, no broccoli in my salad. for $5, i wouldn't order this bland salad again. THE SALSAAAAAA this place makes fantastic salsa! i can't get enough. it's got this wonderful kick to it. it's spicy and sour. they sell the salsa in containers (S, M, L). everyone loves their salsa. i don't know why the counter people always ask if the customers want salsa because it's one of the reasons i go back! CONS 1. gets very hot in the summer 2. pretty slow service (not a good combo with #1) 3. basically no waiting area (lots of people take out), which makes it awkward and squishy (also not a good combo with #1 and #2). read more

Jumbo Empanadas is one of few places I often come back. I tried many different places, but there are only a few places I always come back. I like their beef empanadas, which mixed with eggs. Sizes are big and it is only $5 or $6. Inside the restaurant, there are decoration from South America and they have Chilean TV show. I often take out, but I can dine comfortably there. Even one person can dine fine. I love Jumbo Empanadas. read more

Tried the corn pie here... twice. Think of a shepperds pie with sweet corn mixed into the potato mash that is normally on top. It's a unique, rich blend of sweet and salty and if you have an appetite, you'll be very tempted to eat the whole thing. read more

The cheese empanada was to die for. Soft. Warm. Gooey. I can eat them all day, everyday. The beef empanada was so so. I didn't find it that amazing out special. read more

This place tastes like childhood. Allow me to explain. My mother is Chilean, in turn, I have had a lot of Chilean food in my lifetime. I have also been to Chile, so I can vouch and compare fairly. Jumbo Empanadas is spot on in authenticity. I'm obsessed with their classic beef empanada and plain cheese empanadas. But my boyfriend ordered the chicken empanada and like it! He also loved the humitas, which I have never been a fan of. They also make an amazing salsa which is served with everything. It's fresh and spicy vinegar-type of salsa. Their dough is spot on! Anyone who loves empanadas know that the dough makes it! Oh and their Chilean pastries are DIVINE!!!! I can only imagine that anything else here is equally as good and authentic. I haven't strayed far from my usual suspects here. I'm a touch bias because I haven't tried any of the other empanada places in Toronto yet. That just goes to show HOW GOOD THESE ONES ARE! Give them a try! I dare ya! read more

Everything I've tried here is delicious. I am always flabbergasted by its tastiness as it seems to keep improving by the second & with each ravenous mouthful. Consistent, undeniably exceptional quality home cookin.' I've been here quite often with my boyfriend. He took me here on our first date back in Saturday, October 26, 2013 & I was hooked. So far, I've tried the Beef Empanadas, shredded Chicken Empanadas (kind of dry, but still good), Humitas, Corn Pie, Sopaipillas & Manjar/Dulce de Leche-filled pastries. All of the above I've tried at least twice & are very reasonably-priced, spectacular & worth the splurge! If I go on some crazy detox diet, I think I will end up breaking down their doors first thing. Also, their Chancho en Piedra (Chilean Salsa) is especially good & complements the cuisine flawlessly. I think they should bottle it up & sell it! Cannot say enough good things about this place. Now I know why food is a drug & addiction to it is a very real & fatal possibility. I've been to restaurants that are 10x more hyped up/expensive-- and went home digestively distressed & eternally regretful for having spent so much dime on paltry idiotic portions of mediocrity in comparison. To this day, boyfriend & I are still going back for more divine gluttony! Very highly recommended! read more

Just a word of friendly advice: you may develop a craving for these empanadas, so try at your own risk! The beef empanadas are perfection, flavorful with a good portion for the price (although if you're not a fan of olives or raisins like myself, you can just pick them out), and the salsa, like others have stated, is divine. I would recommend the corn pie, but ideally it should be shared between 4-5 people, not just because of the size but because of its sweetness. Only downside: very limited seating with tiny tables, so it's probably not a good idea to go during prime lunch or dinner time. read more

I love places that know what they do well, and keep it simple. It's called "Jumbo Empanadas" for a reason. Think of this as a factory for empanadas. (expecting more is not recommended) So just walk in, order a beef empanada, and eat it. Be surprised by olives, egg, and other healthy surprises. Delicious, right? De Nada, Empanada. read more

Tried the chicken and cheese empanadas. The cheese one was about half the size of the chicken. The cheese filling was tasty, but I wish there was more filling inside. The chicken empanada had a flaky crust and a nice creamy filling. This is a great snack spot if you're craving empanadas while walking around Kensington! read more

I finally got around to trying this place out!! I wanted to order the veggie empanada and was wondering what was inside it. The girl at the cash didn't know but took the time to ask one of the other people and told me a list of everything in it. I was mainly wondering whether it would be full of potatoes, which would make me not order it, but it was full of spinach and other veggies so it was yes for me! I was happy with it and it came out fresh so the outside was really good. The pastry on the outside is pretty thick. I had heard so much about this corn pie, so my friend and I decided to order it after we finish our empanadas. The lady said it would take a bit of time to serve it, which was cool. WOW, totally didn't expect it to be as big as it was. This is a filling dish for one or a good dish to share. It was sweet, but there's also meat filling at the bottom which is weird, but strangely tastes really good!! Great place to come for a cheap meal. read more

Again with the spanish food! So taking a stroll around kensington we tried to eat at the spanish place across from this one but they stopped serving! so in a dizzy we ended up here and good thing we did. Small (very very small) mom & pop shop. We waited too long for the food but it was well worth the wait. The Empanadas were just excellent. And the Pico de Gallo......so good! I tried to emmulate the recipe at home and was not successful in creating the same Pico :( non the less it was still good! overall this place is good for a quick (not so quick) bite to eat! yumm! read more

Delicious and authentic Chilean food - an institution in the Kensington Market according to locals/papers etc. I had heard about it in the "lunches for $5ish" review in last weeks Now Mag and decided I'd try it out. I was not disappointed. They now have mini empanadas for $1/each so you can sample all three - beef, chicken or vegetarian. I went for the "jumbo" chicken empanada stuffed with a mixture of chicken, egg and green olives and a small side of spicy salsa. It was piping hot and delicious but I did think a heartier side of salsa would have been nice. Next time I go I'll ask for a double shot! They also have beautiful looking avocado salads, corn puree wrapped in leaves (forget the name but it's on the chalkboard and sounds fantastique) and the classic coconut dipped dulce de leche cookies in glass cases on the countertop. I was staying inside to keep cool but they have a really sweet patio out front for prime people watching. read more

By far the best chilena Empenada I have had including south america. Notice the size has shrunk recently and quality is not the same but worth a visit. We Like the Chicken, Beef and cheese. read more

Jumbo was Yum-mo! My boyfriend has been meaning to bring me here for the longest time because he knows I enjoy trying new foods. Upon walking in, you can really feel the heat of the ovens in this little place, I can't imagine working here in the summer! It's just a little place but there is a patio outside which I hope to enjoy soon. We had a beef empanada, cheese empanada, and a corn pie. The empanada were not bad, what I really really reallly enjoyed was the corn pie! It's basically a Shepherd's pie but instead of mashed potato it's mashed corn. There were so many little treasures in both the corn pie and the beef empanadas (i.e. raisins, hard boiled egg, chicken, and olives). To top it all off, there's a mini side dish of fresh salsa! I wish they gave bigger portions of it. I can't wait to come again and feast on a corn pie! read more

My one star is for the pico de gallo. Which in comparison to everything else was DELICIOUS! This is not my first time eating an empanada, it's not even my fifth time. I love empanadas, but what I ate from here was not an empanada. Sure it had a boiled egg inside, raisins and other goodies. But what was with the beef?! It was like pureed baby food wrapped in the thickest empanada ever. I wanted to love it after all the reviews but it just plain sucked. I'll be trying my luck elsewhere in Kensington Market. read more

I'm not gonna lie, before I hit up JE in Kensington Market last night I had already completed a fair amount of research on the joint. A minute into my online recon, it became quite apparent that I was not going to find a negative review on JE, only individuals boasting about the solid nada. The owner, Irene Morales, moved to Toronto from Chile way back in the day and used to bake empanadas for the Chilean community as a part-time gig. They became in such high demand that she subsequently purchased a hot dog cart and began to sell them out of the cart on Augusta St. now full-time. With the continued success of her pockets of love demand rose and she was able to purchase the venue she currently operates out of. When I had first arrived I sat out on the patio which could seat up to 20 people. To order you run up the stairs to the actual storefront where you fill find a couple tables look over the patio and another couple inside. Over all the venue is very small but clearly a high turnover demon. In fact as we were ordering and eating there were constantly people coming in and out getting empanadas to go. You may be asking yourself, what the hell is an empanada? What is so good about one? Well, Irene's delicious empanadas are a perfect pocket pastry stuffed with meat and a medley of olives, raisins, onions and I even found a hard boiled egg in mine! I tried both the chicken, beef, and cheese empanadas. Although the chicken was moist and seasoned well the beef definitely took the cake, it was spiced to perfection and I could have eaten 3 and subsequently taken a nap. The cheese empanadas are minis and I highly recommend getting at least one to accompany your sizeable empanada. They are pre-made and take approximately 3-4 minutes to bake. With each empanada comes this holy homemade salsa screaming citrus and spice. It's the type of salsa that makes you want to learn how to make salsa.. properly. It's served in a small clay dish and by the end of the meal I was licking every last drop that I could from the little bowl, it was that good. In fact right now I'm hard fiending an empanada, it will definitely be on my to do list for this weekend. If you find yourself in Kensington or not, do it. read more

I've been here a few times, I really like it. For $5 you get a fresh empanadas, chicken/veg/beef. I've always had the chicken, never disappointed. And for healthy eaters like myself, this is a good option! They are baked, the filling is light but well flavoured. I like the little dining area they have. Its comfortable and great for a casual/drop-by lunch. The service is always very friendly :) Warning! The salsa is spicy (little dips at a time is suggested) read more

I was happy that we decided to try Jumbo Empanadas today after a long unsatiated desire for some good Mexican. El Trompo simply wasn't really cutting it in terms of quantity. In retrospect, the at food at Jumbo Empanadas really was delicious! This place was a cafeteria style dive where you go up to the counter to order and grab your own cutlery. Not sure I'm a huge fan of that but or the fact that there is absolutely no AC here, not even a fan pointed our way. Anyways, having read the reviews I ordered away. We got 2 Chilean salads, 2 beef empanadas, and 1 humita. The salad...well, it wasn't good. It sounded like it would be right up my alley with avocado, tomatoes, and cilantro...and only $4.50. The lettuce was more like the garnish leaves you'd get with your brunch at a diner. It was a bit bitter and tough in texture, no crunch, but instead was topped with just some lemon juice. I had to add salt and pepper to make it edible. The empanadas. They were a perfect size and filled with delicious beef stew like mixture with hard boiled egg, onion, olives, and the delicious sweetness of some raisins, which were a nice compliment to the flavor. the crust was thick and crispy on the outside, but could have been sore and more doughy throughout and in the middle as the corners were a bit dry. This was taken care of with their little side dish of hot homemade salsa (though I'm a spice pussy so I couldn't enjoy it). The last thing that we got was the humita, which was absolutely perfect. It was tasty cornmealy and moist. My mom wasn't eating much of the empanadas. At first I thought it was some sort of dieting technique but I soon realized that she just wanted there to be enough for me! Lol...I ordered a third beef empanada since they were so heartily delicious! All three if us were stuffed and it was all for under $40 with a drink and tax included. Definitely very reasonable, however, being the stingy half Asain Jew I am, I was a bit disappointed to see their menu prices had been marked up from 3.99 to $5 for the empanadas and drinks were no longer included in any combo deals. Next time I will certainly try the corn pie. Though they're more expensive at $8.50, they looked filling. knowing how delicious the humita was, it would be foolish not to get one of these instead of the tasteless Chilean salads. Bottom line, stop in for a bite to eat. The food is great. read more

Holy hell. My eyes were much hungrier then my stomach since I ordered a beef AND cheese empanada - but it was well worth it. I devoured them all and I suggest that anyone who is in the market do the same. It's a small place, boiling hot, but the food (and the fresh salsa on the side) makes up for it. I can't wait for summer to come around again, because they have a nice patio perfect for people watching. Please go to this place and try it out. Seriously. The food is quick, savory and made with love. read more

5 stars!! I didn't realize that a lot of the eateries in this area close at 8pm so my friends and I were trying to find a place to eat before heading back to our hotel. We arrived after closing time, but the cashier was nice enough to serve us! I am glad she did because I was so hungry! She was so nice to us. We were having trouble distinguishing the coins and she was happy to help us sort through the currency (unlike the sourpuss Chinese lady at a bakery over in Chinatown). I ran a family coffee place for a while so I really appreciate good service. Now onto the empanadas! I've only ever had Filipino empanadas which are meaty but have a sweetness to it. I ordered the jumbo veggie empanada and it was fantastic! I'm not a complete vegetarian but I would say that 70-80% of my meals are meatless so I was happy to see an option for me. The veggie empanada was filled with mushrooms, spinach, and a bunch of other stuff. All very delicious! The crust was great and very chewy. My friends ordered the beef and chicken empandas and they were both very happy with their choices. I really regret not ordering a mini beef since it seems quite popular among reviewers. As for the salsa, very fresh and spicy! My friend gave me hers so I actually used two servings for mine. I love spicy food so I'm not sure if everyone would like the level of spiciness. I will definitely make my way back here if I ever travel to Toronto again. read more

This place is pretty good, its more of a quick bite type of place instead of a sit down restaurant though. The dining area is pretty small and its right across the street from another empanada place. I got the chicken one and it was flavourful and I didn't expect all the ingredients inside of it. Will probably be back if I'm ever in that area again, but I wouldn't outright venture out there for it specifically. If you're close to the place, it's worth a visit :) read more

Jumbo Empanadas - Chicken empanadas - Latin American Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Muy bueno!!! Oddly enough I woke up last week with a fierce craving for an Empanada (my dad used to make them for me when I was little). I started researching where to find the best ones in Toronto and came across these great reviews for Jumbo Empanada. I arrived there mid-afternoon and the line-up was to the door way...this was my first clue that I was in for a treat! By some miracle my friend and I were able to get a seat on the patio. Our empanadas came up super-quick and the staff was super friendly! I am going to tell you right now that this was hands down THE BEST $3.99 that I have ever spent. The egg, roasted onions, olive, ground beef and cheesy goodness packed inside of the doughy yumminess that was my beef and cheese empanada was beyond delicious. Also, the homemade salsa was so fresh and delicious that I had to purchase my own for home. I am sorry dad but I want Jumbo Empanada to adopt me now... Enjoy! read more

Tasty Chilean empanadas. They really are jumbo. The carne (beef) ones are typical Chilean style, were stuffed with ground beef, black olives, hard-boiled egg and even a few raisins for a bit of sweetness. Freshly made. I also tried a salad which was huge, healthy and delicious. A bit acidic but otherwise nice, lots of avocado, lettuce, tomato and broccoli. Not much in terms of decor inside but it's functional and does the trick. Good for take out. read more

Yum! I was shopping in the market this weekend and all of a sudden realized I hadn't eaten anything yet that day, so decided now is finally the time to try Jumbo Empanadas. It's a small place, and not exactly upscale, but who cares? The ladies behind the counter are so nice and friendly, the wait is short, and the end result is delicious. I had the chicken empanada. Salsa was served on the side, and I was out the door for around 5 bucks. I ate it as I walked around the market and on my bus ride home. The complexity of flavours was surprising. There was also some heat, which I appreciate, but not too much for anyone who is sensitive to spice. Another plus is it's really easy take-out food and perfect for strolling the neighborhood. Muy bien, jumbo empanadas! read more

The quaint and small Jumbo Empanadas restaurant serves up delicious and, you guessed it, JUMBO Chilean empanadas. These were probably the cleanest, non-greasiest empanadas I've had. read more

I'd heard much about this place. I think it's probably fair to Jumbo Empanadas to say I made an error in choosing a vegetable Empanada as opposed to a meat one. Had I been a hardcore vegetarian, I expect I'd have really enjoyed the empanada I was given. It was filled with mushrooms, spinach (I think) and other vege delights. The crust was nice, with a crisp bite. I was given the option of taking it away as it was (cooled) or having it heated up. I went for heated up but was good to know for future reference that I can get it to go and heat it up for dinner or whatever. Service was fine. They were busy but efficient and friendly. I know I really ought to have gone for a beef empanada. And I shall, next time I visit. Jumbo Empanadas, I look forward to returning and sticking to what I know and love. read more

much like other folk whove reviewed this place, i stumbled upon it and decided to jump on for the ride. well im not sure if i ever had an empanada either before this experience and i thought it was delicious. i was actually very excited when i spotted this on yelp because i had forgotten about it. the salad is very fresh, with a great dressing and filled with avocado - a great simple alternative to boring salads you get at most places that dont care too much about vegetables. the salsa, and i am not usually a fan of it all, was delicious and i was wanting more. now i usually have a tough time deciding on a menu choice no matter where i go, and so the same went for here except for the fact that i did not resign to settling for just one menu item. i took home one of the best pies ive ever had. there was this corn and beef pie that was juicy, tangy, meaty and delicious. im going to make a point of going to kensington again right away just for this place. read more

See all

Never had an empanada before. The beef one I had at Jumbo Empandas hit the spot-savory ground beef mixed in with chunks of onion, egg, raisins (ooh!) and olives kinda of a mixed bag of goodies in a doughy shell. The salsa was terrifically tangy and spicy, a good condiment if only they could give a little more with each portion! I also had the salad cuz I was hungry and it is a big portion with big slices of avocado and some tomato. Inside is not much to look at, but the staff are friendly here and you can be in and out in a pinch for less than $10. read more

I've got to be one of the longest term customers here. Discovered Empanadas in 2002 before I even lived in Canada. I am an aficionado of all things South/Central American. So, the empanada's here are Chilean style, different than I first expected. It's still not my preferred style because the vegetarian options are either deep-fried cheese or spinach and mushroom. I need some variety, so I started getting the broccoli and avocado salad. Spunky! They've got flavour, and spice. See if it is your style. read more

Family owned business for as long as most remember. Absolute true taste of home. We mostly get take out but there is some seating and a patio that does transport you to Chile. Quaint, simple and delicious. read more

Was a little disappointed that everything was taken out of the freezer and reheated and both empanadas were still cold in the middle. The taste was great, just wished it didn't seem as cheap as it actually was. Given the price and taste I would probably go back to give it another try. read more
