King's Empanadas - Food Trucks Near Me - South El Monte, California

They had a food truck at the DTLA South Park Farmer's Market on Saturday. Their menu display was quite appealing and caught my eye over the other vendors. After scrolling through their 10 empanadas selection I landed on their spinach & cheese along with their Lomita Salgado (steak). They were both so freaking delicious and full of flavor! Their other options were the following: Veggie Empanada Chorizo & Egg Pollo Saltado Ground Beef Pepperoni & Cheese Ham & Cheese Mushroom & Cheese I want to go back and try the rest! read more

My husband got the spinach and cheese empanada at the Studio City Farmers Market and while the taste was great he did bite into a rather large and very sharp plastic piece. It was in the filling and could have easily been swallowed. Extremely dangerous if a small child were to eat this as it could easily be a chocking hazard or even cut something up in the digestive system. Finding something like this makes me wonder how safe and clean their kitchen is. I worry that there are more pieces out there that could potentially be very dangerous if ingested. Writing this review in hopes that it helps others. read more

I saw that this place at the Kaiser Ontario hospital farmer's market. An empanada is $6. I chose to get the majority of their flavors; the ones I liked were the lomo saltado and ground beef. The ground beef came with chopped onions, raisins, and a sliced egg mixed with the seasoned ground beef. The lomo saltado was filled with sliced beef and onions. My aunt liked her ham and cheese and had plenty of melted cheese. My brother liked the mushroom empanada with the caramelized onions and parmesan cheese. The two guys working there were nice. $0.50 charge for card use. read more

I love empanadas so had to give these a try. They were located at the Monrovia Farmers Market on Friday. I got the Lomo Saltado empanada and I thought the filling was super tender and tasty. The dough was not bad and overall so was satisfied. $6 is on the high side so solid 4/5 for me. read more

I picked up some of their empanadas from the Kaiser Baldwin Park Farmer's Market. Service was quick and they have all the ovens there in the stand which was pretty cool. They were $6 each and there are a lot of flavor options. My hubby got the chorizo-egg and spinach-feta ones and he was really happy with them and they were fully packed with filling. I ordered pollo saltado and the ham and cheese. While I loved the pollo saltado because it was packed with filling and hot and full of flavor, I was so disappointed with the ham and cheese empanada. It tasted fine, but there was barely any filling inside and the cheese was barely melted so it definitely wasn't worth $6. Not sure if I got a dud, but if I get any empanadas next time at Kaiser I'm avoiding the ham and cheese. read more

So good!! Tried the steak, shredded chicken, group beef and the spinach/cheese. They were all amazing! Love this guy!! Sundays he's at Brentwood farmers market. Thursday Woodland Hills Farmers market. read more

Was at Kaiser Ontario and stopped by King's Empanadas booth at the main entrance. (The Farmers Market is every Wednesday from 10am-2pm). Each empanada is $6 but well worth the price. There were many different flavors to choose from such as mushroom, beef, chicken, and veggie. I decided to go with the spinach and cheese. The empanada was hot (fresh out of the oven), had a generous amount of spinach and feta filling and packed with flavor. I was given a jalepeno sauce and it complimented the empanada nicely. I'm glad I stopped by and gave them a try! Highly recommend, also the gentlemen at the booth are knowledgeable about their products and welcoming. read more

Their empanadas are sooooo good! I catch them at the Farmer's Market @ Kaiser Panorama City on Wednesdays when I can.

Love them! We go to the farmers market every week to buy the empanadas. They have a complementary really good green too if you like spicy.

The beef empanadas were the best I've had had, I ate one and walked around I had to come back and buy 6 more to take home

Found them at the Sunday farmer's market on Ventura and Laurel Canyon. About the only gripe I had against them was their price. $6 per empanada. $1 lower and they'd be at the sweet spot. I digress. These are BOMB. Better than Nona's by a long shot. The casing/empanada husk has a nice thin, crunchy exterior and reminds of the dough that Jamaican spots like to use, just crunchier and charred a little. Still great. I tried 3; --Chorizo/Egg: 7/10. What'd you expect from a chorizo and egg food. --Spinach/Cheese: 8/10. Nice chunks of cheese cubes throughout and MOIST, copious, nicely seasoned spinach. --Lomo Saltado: 9/10. Perfectly executed pork with caramelized onion. Not salty, but flavorful. read more

Used to love getting these at the Marina desk Rey farmer's market but unfortunately I don't think I'll ever get them again. Last time I got them one of them tasted like exhaust. Decided to try one last time again today and the shredded chicken empanadas had something in them that was crunching in my teeth. Looked like large pieces of salt but tasted like nothing. Honestly felt like I was biting into sand. Now my jaw hurts. read more

I come here every Friday at the Kaiser Baldwin Park Farmers Market, right after my mom finishes PT. The empanadas are so good! We always get Lomo Saltado, Pollo Saltado & Ground Beef. Gotta have the hot sauce too! read more

Had these today at the Kaiser Woodland hills farmers market. The best beef empanadas i've ever had They are packed! Flavor is great, crust is perfect. I'm shocked this vendor doesn't have higher reviews! DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY OFFER CATERING? read more

Tried their empanadas at the ARMC farmer's market and it blew my mind! I had the lomo saltada empanada.

The empanadas are decent but I made the mistake of ordering a turkey sandwich. It didn't have any lettuce like the description, the turkey was oddly very fatty, and absolutely the worst sandwich I've ever had. For $8.50 you'd expect somethinf edible but a single bite made me gag and lose my appetite. Tell me if the pictures look appetizing. read more

Best empanadas ever!!!! Go to Kaiser Woodland Hills farmers market every Thursday to load up for the weekend. Great service always fresh!!!

The food is great, but the customer service is awful. The two guys that run the stand at the Westwood location are rude. I love the food, but the service is so bad that I'd rather not buy anything from there. read more

These empanadas were delicious! Three of us were all pleased, and look forward to going back to the Sherman Oaks Farmer's Market to buy more. I ate the just-right-spicy veggie empanada that had just a little bite to it. The dough is amazing and has a bit of sweetness to it- a surprising and perfect flavor!!! I have never had an empanada this good. My husband and son ate the Chicken empanada and both gave it a rave review. To prepare our frozen empanadas, we put them on parchment paper in a baking sheet, and then into a 400 degree oven. We found that the 15 minutes that was recommended wasn't enough in our oven, and got them just right at 20 minutes. We highly recommend these wonderful tasty empanadas, and look forward to going back to stock our freezer with more next week. read more

Can someone told me how to get to this business? I went to 2112 Santa Anita Avenue, El Monte, CA this morning but cannot find the store or truck or food stand. Call the number in yelp but no one pick up the phone . I used to buy their delicious empanadas at Kaiser's Farmers market before the pandemic. Thank you read more

Jessica called me back after she read the letter I sent. She apologized and gave me a refund via Venmo.

Today we went to the Monrovia farmers market. The Empanadas look delicious on the pictures, so we ordered one, when we sat down to eat we opened the box and it was frozen and to make things worse the guy was rude. read more

These empanadas are good an there a nice size. I wanted chicken but they was sold out but the beef did the job.

These were a huge scam. I paid $5 each for 5 of these and the breading is super thick and not crispy at all. Bland and terrible.

After disappointment and rage from not having a Spinach Feta Wrap from STARBUCKS, I walked by the King's Empanadas stand and was greatly surprised. I got the veggie and the spinach with cheese empanadas. Boy howdy were they delicious and not greasy at all. Very satisfying and wonderful. If they're back on campus (HSC USC) I will be sure to come back for more :) read more

I get the empanadas in the farmers market at work , delicious, my fav are the chicken , I recommend them to my co workers

You have not lived until you have tried these amazing empanadas. My favorite flavor is the lomo saltado. The meat is tender and seasoned beautifully. You can find their delicious Peruvian cuisine at various farmers markets throughout so cal. Don't sleep on their soups either. Be prepared to become a repeat customer. read more

Today (3-8-2018) I just bought a dozen empanadas at the stand located in the kaiser hospital in Woodland Hills and the man in. Charge of the booth did not give me the correct ones. I asked for 4 beef, 4 lomo, 2 chicken, 2 spinach and cheese. When I came home he gave me instead 2 lomo 2 chicken and and 6 veggie. This is NOT a what I ordered and he charge me for a dozen. I'm very disappointed and I feel completely ripped off. Waste of money read more

Terrible catering service! I ordered 250 empanada for work and they showed up late! When I called at 2pm, Fabricio said they were 15 minutes away. 2:15 nothing, kept calling. By 2:30 Fabricio finally answered. He said they were six minutes away and when I asked what time they left he said 1:30.. After that, he stopped answering my calls. The delivery ppl arrived at 3:10. When I asked them what happened, they said they were at a different event until 2:00. So the owner just kept lying when i called. We will never order from them again. Subpar food, and high stress from the late delivery was not worth it. read more

I've tried these empanadas because they are at the farmers market at my work. They're yummy & crispy. I've tried the mushroom, spinach & cheese, lomo saltado. They have fair prices $4 each. read more

Worst tamales I've ever had! I bought all 3 flavors, pork, chicken, and cheese! First, I could tell just by the feel, it was way more masa than filling (hard and dense). Once I opened it up, my thoughts were confirmed! SO LITTLE MEAT, with so much masa! For $3.50/tamales, it was a waste of money, but I had to try it. read more

these are THE BEST Peruvian empanadas i've ever had!!! (next to my dad's, of course). Found them at a Farmers Market outside the Ontario Kaiser a few weeks ago when i had a doctor's appointment and had to take a drive today JUST FOR THE EMPANADAS!!! They are there every Wednesday and i'm thinking i will be too! Seriously, delicious!!!! (the beef one is my favorite) read more
