Beautiful place in the middle of Gothic quarter. Offering a large choice of delicious empanadas. Freshly made, served hot. In contrast to our US empanadas, these are different and I like my US empanadas more.

Haven't had a good empanada since I left Buenos Aires. These are fantastic. There are many choices as well as options for vegetarian and gluten-free. I especially like the spicy meat or carne picante.

Delicious!! Found this little gem on my walk today. They had a beautiful selection. I had the one with mushrooms and cheese and the Thai chicken. Must try!

Holy-Moly... My first experience with empanjada... wow!!! It was VERY tasty... we got tried only one, but it was so PERFECT.. liked spicy tune empanjada!!

They have different menu options. The best deal is the 3 pastry and a drink.

I really liked the food and the guy was friendly and nice. He really did a customer service. The food is really good and there is a big variety of stuffing so everyone can find their thing. I really loved the place and I think the different stuffing makes it possible for people who vegan, vegetarian or pescatarian to eat something on the go. It is really hard to find sometimes to eat if you have special dietary. The only thing what I would change is there is no available seats and after a long walk it would feel good to have a little rest

3.5* More emapandas! Not expensive either. I ordered the spicy tuna with egg, the regular tuna with egg and the cheese emapanda. It was more dry than other empanadas I've had but it was a cheap snack and there are a lot of cool options. The dough was a little too much compared to the filling. Staff was friendly!

Got 3, caprese, spicy chorizo, spinach

Went here around 5:30 pm with a friend and the place was empty but all the empanadas looked great. I tried to order the Thai empanada but the guy said they were all out of it so I got 3 he recommended which was the spinach, caprese and spicy chorizo. My fav was the spicy chorizo but all 3 of my empanadas were hardly heated all the way through. They ask you if youd like them warmed up but when I started to eat them they were just slightly warmed up. Wish they heated them throughly through. Otherwise the place was good but not the best epanadaa I've ever had. A little over hyped with all the reviews.

Good empanadas at a good price! It's a great way to grab a quick bite of something hot. We tried the beef, mushroom and eggplant flavors and all tastes good. Not the best empanadas I've ever had (believe it or not, the best I've had was in San Francisco!) but decent, nonetheless. Very cute shop and friendly shopkeepers.

Ask them have it warmed. It's the best snack !

Im so impressed with the variety & designs of crusts. What a great place to get some snacks today take to Park Gruell. This is a perfect snack to have and the crust was so thin & crispy. I had the Thai Chicken Curry and it was zesty. Loved it ! Kids had the jamon y queso & ate it in the taxi. Grab a bunch and eat them on the run. Modern empanadas with friendly service ! I will return.

Chicken and beef with a bunch of add ins for flavour.

For a quick bite this was great. The prices were pretty reasonable at €5 for 2 enchiladas and a drink. The assorted options was great and they were all packed with a lot of meats and flavours. There are even veggie offerings. There are not chairs and a small bar to stand at if you intend to eat it there or you can get it as take away.

Stumbled upon this place on the way to the beach, and I loved the empanada's so much that I went to seek out one of their other locations in Gothic Quarter later that day. The shop is tiny but there is a lot of variety of empanadas. My favorite was the spicy chicken. The dough is DELICIOUS! I love that they weren't oily yet had a lot of flavor. I was also impressed by the ambience itself - everything is clean. This will definitely be one of my first stops on my next trip to Barcelona.

Excellent! Stopped in on our way back from the beach. Had a Thai chicken and a traditional beef with raisins. Both were delicious and we talked about returning a day later for more even though we were not staying anywhere close by. Price was fair at about 2.50 each.

I was drawn into this establishment by the wonderful aroma of fresh dough being baked into heavenly empanadas. Barcelona has a lot of places to satisfy the palate but... La Fabrica is definitely the go to spot in the Gothic Quarter!!!!! The dough is made fresh and the selections of ingredients to fill the empanadas is great!!!! I bought one to try and before I walked away I bought 12 more and had them packaged for me to take back to the USA the next day. This is a must-do while site seeing and is perfect walk-around food to enjoy. I highly recommend and most definitely will return here next year!!!!

great experience with friends…read more we arrived at 7pm and didn't leave until 1030p, so that should give you a little hint on whether we liked it to not. ambiance - the entrance is located down a little alleyway. once inside, you are surrounded by stone in an old, cave like building. the lighting and styling make it a cozy space to enjoy a wonderful meal. the service - our waiter (Daniele) was on point. incredibly personable, attentive, and funny! the food was timed incredibly well. they gave us plenty of time to enjoy, instead of rushing things out one after another. we had a group of 11, so we had to do the prix-fixe menu. let me tell you though, the amount of food was easily enough for 15 people. the starters - these were shared with the table, but they definitely brought more than enough. crispy bread with tomatoes and olive oil pesto infused burrata with roasted tomatoes tuna tartare with crispy plantains brioche topped with Catalan sausage, truffle cream, and crunchy mushrooms each of these was tasty. i'd say my favorites were the tuna tartare and the brioche. the mains: each person selected their main. cod cooked 2 ways with trinxat (mashed potato, winter cabbage, rendered pork fat), iberian ham, and figs argentine angus tenderloin Iberian pluma (cut from acorn fed pig), smoked sweet potato i got the last one and it. was. AMAZING. cooked to a medium and was deliciously tender. others reported the angus tenderloin was good, but needed some kind of sauce with it. desserts (pick one): variety of chocolates cannoli filled with goat cheese cheesecake and berries ice cream - passionfruit and raspberry with a white crunch for 65 euro per person for the prix-fixe, this was a great meal to share with friends! drinks - very reasonably priced bottles of wine (around 28 euro per bottle), so we kept well hydrated throughout the experience. others in the group got cocktails and said they were really good as well. i've never spent 3.5 hrs in any restaurant, anywhere, but i would go back here in a heartbeat. i fully recommend checking this place out if you're in Barcelona!

We got lucky with a walk-in and sat at one of the tables in the front. The waiters here are very…read moreattentive and the restaurant is beautiful. We mainly came in here for cocktails and tried some tapas, but definitely will be back to try more food our next visit to Barcelona!

The seating is all high chair so just FYI. It was a bit awkward with a family of four facing a wall. We ordered a special they had going on, for 31€ we got about .8 KG of meat, bread and veggies. The flavor of the meat was simple but very tasteful. The meat was also tender to the bite. While there, we also tried a few different empanadas which were the spinach, chorizo and meat (all were great). I wish we were staying longer because this place would definitely get a repeat visit.

A block off Rambla del Poblenou, Tierra del Fuego is hidden from most people who are walking by…read more Set up with the grill in the front, you can watch food being grilled in the Argentinian style before entering/sitting down for a meal. Not a particularly large dining area so reservations may be necessary. Simply decorated The serve was friendly and at least one spoke English well. We ordered meat empanadas to start and then grilled platters for the main course. Excellent empanadas, could make a whole meal of those. Everything was grilled perfectly. The sausages and chicken were the best. The cuts of meat were not particularly tender and the grilling toughened them. There is a good selection of wine available and the Malbec was a good choice.

Chalito ended up being such a good find. My friend and I stumbled across it after watching a…read moreflamenco show near La Rambla, and I'm glad we did. Chalito is a chain restaurant in Spain that specializes in Argentinian milanesas, which are thin breaded meat cutlets topped with all kinds of good stuff, and I knew I had to try one. I ordered the Milanesa Mallorquina with sobrasada, Mahón cheese, honey, and a mozzarella base, and it was absolutely delicious. The mix of savory and sweet worked so well together. I also tried a slice of my friend's serrano pizza, and that was really good too. Another thing I liked was that they offer their own special aiolis to choose from. As somebody who loves extra sauce on the side, that was a huge plus for me. The food impressed me so much that I ended up going back to a different Chalito location in Madrid just to try the sausage and chili oil pizza, and it was just as bomb. Their portions are so huge I didn't have room for dessert on either of my visits, but their cheesecake looks amazing, I'll have to grab a slice on a future visit The service was excellent, and I appreciated that they had menus in both Spanish and English. The restaurant is also very spacious, which made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. You do not really have to stress about getting a table or making reservations, which is always nice when you are traveling. Overall, Chalito is a great spot if you want a satisfying meal in Spain without all the hassle of planning ahead. I would definitely recommend it whether you are visiting or already local.

Great alternative to carb heavy pizza. Friendly service…read more Thin crispy chicken cutlet topped like a pizza. Very good. Will try other flavors soon.
