Empanadas is their specialty, and boy, are they spectacular! Words cannot describe how delicious the empanadas just are! Between my husband and I, we tried the beef, chicken, beef & cheese, pepperoni & cheese, and Philly cheese steak. All of them were uniformly amazing! You can't go wrong at La Empanaderia! Highly recommended, and we most definitely will be returning! 5/5 read more

This place is simply delicious! We were walking by from getting boba when we got a whiff of what can only be described as sweet spicy! We walked in and it was clean and inviting. There was only one person working that day and she was incredibly friendly. We got an apple cinnamon and a pinadelphia a sweet and creamy empanada filled with cream cheese! My personal favorite was that one and they heated it up so the cream cheese was so soft! We got a few of us all try to and we all loved them. I especially appreciated that it's the first location while the other two are located in Mexico! read more

Food and service was excellent! We got the 1/2 dozen and got 6 different ones and they were all delicious. The chimichurri sauce and chipotle sauce are also good. read more

It's 12:20 on a Wednesday. How are you out of so many types of empanadas. Also why is everything premade??? Walked out without ordering.

Wow this is way better than anticipated! So right now there is terrible construction going on right in front of the store so it is not easy to maneuver into the parking area, but it is well worth it. They have many choices of fillings that are beautifully wrapped in a delicious pastry and branded on the top so you know what is what. My favorite was the hamburger in the big, round empanada crust. My other favorite was the pineapple- not overly sweet like the ones you get at a bakery- this was just right. The price seems steep at over $4 for an empanada, but they are much larger than the small ones at some restaurants. Everything I got was so good. Tip: if you don't want to try to drive there with the construction, some food delivery services do deliver from there- sweet! read more

So happy to see a good empanada restaurant in town, even if it is on the other (west) side of town! The menu has lots of variety to choose from and is very clear with detailed descriptions for each! So many delicious pockets of baked food goodness to choose from! Dropped by and was happy to see so many "Ready to go" options available! Tried to get one of as many that were available to see what we liked best! Opted for (BCH) Beef & Cheese, a (CHO) Chorizo & Cheese, (PP) Pepperoni & Cheese, (HBC) Ham & Bacon & Cheese, (PH) Philly Cheesesteak, (BBQ) BBQ Pulled Pork from the MEATS; (S) Spinach & Cheese from the VEGGIES; (SH) Shrimp & Chipotle from the SEAFOOD and one of each of the SWEETS - (N) Nutella, (AC) Apple & Cinnamon, (LQ) Leche Quemada, (PN) Pinadelphia. One family salad came with the order of a dozen. The salad is coleslaw style. We loved all of the empanadas - no complaints about ANY of the options we had to choose from! Some of our favorites included the Philly Cheesesteak, BBQ Pulled Pork, Pepperoni & Cheese and Beef & Cheese. All of the desert options were very good too! Looking forward to going back again and trying the options we didn't get to try this time around. Highly recommend this place for tasty baked empanadas! read more

Delicious empanadas. I got a combo with 3 empanadas, one sauce and one drink and I paid a bit over $11. The first one I had was the beef habanero. The beef was good and the habanero gave it a nice kick. Not overly spicy at all. Perfect balance. The humita is vegetarian and it was good. The chimichurri sauce is oil with vinegar and spices like oregano. It is a traditional Argentinian sauce. Good choice for the beef habanero empanada. The third one was the pinadelphia, it has chunks of pineapple with Philadelphia cheese but I expected more filling. It is not overly sweet, so a good way to finish to my meal. Glad I was on the west side of town to be able to stop here. Even though i live on the east side, I will be making special trips to get me some empanadas. Good food! I did go back for more empanadas and tried different ones this time. The best one was the chicken Buffalo. read more

7 Walking in to a new "restaurant" is always tough especially when you have high expectations after reading good reviews of a place. There is seating for about 22 individuals in this establishment I asked the cashier for recommendations and didn't show much interest in any of the options. I went ahead and ordered the Beef and Habanero, Pepperoni and Cheese, Mushroom and Cheese, Pinadelphia. All ok, possibly not going back. read more

food is overpriced, they literally heat it up in the microwave in front of you, the female stood around talking the whole time, no sides available, the guy had a don't give a shit attitude. Sides took longer than the empanadas and the empanadas weren't even that great. I've never had red Mac and cheese, must be an El Paso thing. read more

So you have to be really into empanadas. They do have several different types of sweet and regular food ones. My wife and I tried the dessert ones. I had the Piñadelphia. I liked it. The dough flavor is really good; the filling was pretty good but I feel like the fruit should be mashed a little more and a little bit more cream cheese. My wife had the Leche Quemada. She really liked it. I tasted a tiny bite and it was pretty good. They have a bit bigger menu when you go to the place but the ONLY gripe I have is that the empanadas are not big at all. I figured for $3.69 each it would be a little bigger. I would pay 2.50 for them. I will go back to try the other ones but not something I would get often. read more

On Christmas Eve, my family and I decided to go out for dinner even though it wasn't planned and after trying 3 restaurants that we had called ahead to confirm they were open but in fact said they were closing early, we accidentally came across this place and let me tell you, best accidental find EVER! We got a wide variety of their empanadas to try everything and I loved that they stamp on the top the initials of what you order. Makes splitting everything so easy. My kids and husband loved the chorizo, Buffalo chicken and the pepperoni empanadas. I didn't even get a chance to try them because they are them so fast lol. I got the ham and cheese, and the Philly cheesesteaks which was so good with the chimichurri sauce. That sauce was so delicious! We even got desert and I loved the leche quemada and my kids loved the Nutella. All in all this is a great place, nice staff, delicious food and sauces and was a great adventure trying Argentinian empanadas. read more

They sell baked not fried empanadas. The ingredients are fresh and made daily. They offer 18 different fillings. They are crunchy but soft in the middle and it feels like you're eating a pie. All of them taste really good. I tried almost all the flavors. They also stamp them so you know which one you are eating. They have daily specials so check them out. You can sit and enjoy them there or take them home. They have seafood options, sweet, savory and even vegetarian Empanadas. Yummy read more

First and foremost, the price is very over the top! I come from a place that has Portos and Tropicana which do not charge as much as these empanadas and are way better tasting and size wise much larger. El Paso must not know much bout empanadas from the high ratings I see on yelp. Sorry but this isn't it! Definitely feel ripped off after ordering these for delivery on door dash. Had to try them out, but those that know Portos and Tropicana, be aware you will be disappointed as well. read more

Super good! The empanadas kind of reminded me of the ones grandma makes in the fall. She usually makes camote or sweet potato and pumpkin. Both sweet potato and pumpkin taste similar to me. Anyway...I ordered four empanadas. The leche quemada empanada (burnt milk) sort of reminded me of a sweet potato/pumpkin one. It was really tasty. Keep in mind I'm not really a pumpkin or sweet potato fan unless it's inside empanadas (empanadas are somewhat similar to turnovers). It wasn't what I was expecting but it was still great tasting. For some reason, I thought it would be more like tres leches, meaning milkier and sweeter. I don't know why I was thinking of that! Note to self: Tres leches and leche quemada are two different things. The dough tasted really fresh and savory in each of them. I liked that very much. I also enjoyed the crunch in every bite I took. I ordered a pepperoni and cheese, along with a philly cheesesteak. I liked both of these. The only thing I didn't like about the cheesesteak was that it had too many tiny, chopped up onions inside of it. The meat had a great taste. Bland anything was out of the question with these empanadas. I also got a Nutella empanada but I haven't tasted it yet. I'll probably warm it up and eat it later on. I got a combo and it came with two empanadas, a salad, a dipping sauce (I chose Ranch dressing) and a drink. The ranch complimented the empanadas perfectly! With the two other sweet empanadas, the total came out to $18 and change. I felt that the empanadas were a good size. My dog wouldn't let me eat one in its entirety! I shared the pepperoni and cheesesteak with him. He loved them! He devoured them within two minutes! He's kind of picky with food so that's a good sign if something tastes good or not. The salad was more like cole slaw. It was pretty good too. It had chopped nuts on top of it. That was different in a good way. La Empanaderia has four locations. Three are in Mexico (Chihuahua) and one is here. The customer service was great. The young lady who was helping me out was really friendly and helpful. I told her it was my first time visiting. She told me they offer specials/promotions everyday except for Saturday. The day I went, it was 10 percent off my order. That's pretty cool! Would I come back? YES! Try it sometime, El Paso peeps! read more

We ordered takeout last weekend, and ended up throwing most of the food away. The empanadas were very hard and the Mac and cheese was dry (threw out the entire container). I don't like to leave a negative review - perhaps we just caught the last food at the end of the night but it was bad. read more

GrubHub delivery, which arrived promptly with the food still warm. I love the variety of options on the menu. The coleslaw was a treat--crunchy with just the right amount of sweet. I also love that it's made with yogurt instead of mayonnaise. I look forward to trying more flavors as well as sweet empanada soon! read more

La Empanaderia - Spinach & Cheese Empanada, Beef Empanada, Coleslaw Salad - Empanadas Near Me - El Paso, Texas

This place has delicious empanadas and a variety of options to choose from. It was our first time there and honestly wanted to order one of everything. Being a family of 5, I personally thought that it is a bit pricey for each empanada. Other than the price, we cannot complain. The place is very clean and the customer service we received was great! read more

They serve tiny snacks as empanadas. I was really looking forward to trying these empanadas at this new place but was soooo disappointed in them. I tried the nutella, cheese with pepperoni, and beef habanero ones and to begin with they were all tiny (see picture) and tasted "so so". I would never return. I'm especially disappointed in the size to price ratio. At close to $4 each this is really sad. But I wouldn't even return if the size was bigger. Only if they also changed their recipes. read more

Love this place! Wanted a quick bite to eat during lunch and this was the perfect stop. Plenty of vegetarian options- both the spinach and the mushroom was really good. I'm looking forward to trying the Nutella dessert treat sometime soon. Highly recommend this spot especially for their fast service! read more

Are they good? Yes, my daughter enjoyed them. Portion wise, they're dessert-sized. I liked them but it's merely a snack paying 4$+ a pop. The apple one was good and the chorizo was a real hitter. Try it out. Don't order from here if you're starving. The box was very light meaning you gonna stay hungry. read more

Cancelled my Uber ears order after waiting for an hour... why post on Uber eats if you're going to cancel an hour after I place the order. Ugh. read more

I saw this place advertised on Facebook so I checked it out for a quick lunch bite. I had the Chorizo, Philly and the Humita (rajas, corn and cheese) also if you sit in they serve 4 different sauces including Chimichurri. All 3 were exquisite. I couldn't distinguish which I liked the most. Definitely recommend for a savory bite. They also have sweet assorted empanadas as well. read more

La Empanaderia - Empanadas Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I ordered a variety to sample at home and the six-pack of empanadas came with two free dressings. My first impression is that they do a great job getting the crust to be the right texture. Nice and toasty and a little bit crunchy. I still haven't tried all of the different empanadas, but the beef was super tasty. Very savory and not at all greasy. The chorizo and cheese was also good, with just a little more spice. I also tried the pinadelphia (pineapple & cream cheese) for dessert and that hit the spot. The business is nice and clean on the interior and they ran a pretty efficient operation behind the cash register. I'll definitely go back. read more

Amazing! I've tried a few of the empanadas and they are absolutely delicious. They have a nice variety of empanadas and sauces

I came here because the reviews were good and I wanted to try it. This place is solely based on the "hype" and is very aesthetically pleasing. I got the chorizo and spinach empanada. The chorizo was BEYOND disappointing. Very dry and you can tell the dough isn't made from scratch. It has a very weird taste. To my surprise there wasn't any cheese in it, just chorizo. So just bread and chorizo. Not very good. Moving on to the spinach. It had very small amounts of cheese that was burnt on the inside of the empanada that gave it a very chewy texture. Not very good either. Lastly, I decided to get the Pinadelphia just to see if this place can continue to be consistently bad. Wellllllllll, the pineapple inside is canned and is mixed with cream cheese. Nothing special. Terrible place. Surely the owner will reply with "I'm sorry" and please come back and ask for the manager. But no. Don't waste your time time people. read more

The empanadas are delicious but the customer service is horrible. I've ordered from them before and they got it wrong. Today they put me on hold forever and when I called back they wouldn't answer. very disappointing because they have a good product but the business will not succeed if they do not get better employees. read more

This is probably the worst experience I have had at a restaurant. I had been there previously and enjoyed the empanadas. I brought my sister so that she could taste them and consider them for catering. The service was a JOKE. We had been waiting for 45 minutes when we went to ask how much longer our order would be it seems they misplaced it. A "sorry we misplaced the order" and "we will get it out to you" would have been enough to solve the situation. Instead, we got multiple excuses as to why it happened. When we pushed for a resolution, we were told we could choose from what was ready-made in the case (there were maybe two empanadas left) instead of what we ordered. I like the product but will not return or recommend this place anymore as the experience was horrendous. read more

Quite small especially for the price and just not good. I ordered the beef habanero and there's no spice or seasoning, it's literally ground beef cooked in a pan and placed inside the shell and I couldn't even tell if there was habanero. The dough was strangely sweet and soggy and it split open down the middle after the first bite hemorrhaging its contents all over the wrapper. The chimichurri sauce was some kind of oil mixed with what tasted like Italian dressing. In fact the vegetable and herbs look like what you would find in a bottle of italian dressing from the grocery store. I honestly felt like I was eating at a middle school cafeteria, but now that I think about it, any middle school might do a better job than this place. read more

Way overpriced and the size and portion are tiny!! I had way better Argentinian empanadas. Over rated

It is fast food place for empanadas. Some are tasty some are very dry. I guess your experience will vary depending on what you order. But these empanadas are not what Argentinian empanadas are supposed to be read more

I'm sorry I need to explain in greater detail. I bought half a dozen empanadas. Again, the empanadas were not all all tasty. The dough was very dry and very thick not soft flaky and buttery as one would expect an empanada to be. We tried the apple cinnamon, Nutella, pinadelphia which barely had any cream cheese I'm assuming that's what is supposed to be in those. At almost $4 each not worth the price at all. We paid almost $23 for 1/2 a dozen empanadas that we were expecting to be delicious but were not good at all. Don't waste your money folks. read more
