I got the beef empanada. The chimichurri sauce complimented it so well. It was so airy and crispy, and the dough was not too thick like other places. It was filled with so much meat! Very tasty and full of flavor. read more

It was the second of our five stops as part of our Downtown Denver Food Tour, and it was amazing. The Empanadas were flaky, flavorful, and so delicious. The chimichurri sauce added so much to the taste. This Argentinian Empanadas restaurant was started by two brothers who didn't see their homeland empanadas in Denver so started their own just when Covid hit and survived, a testament to how good they are. The place is not very big with less than a dozen tables, but it seems the bulk of their business is to-go anyway. read more

Tasty but pricey!! A bit small for how much you pay. Place is clean (but bathroom was not and possibly shared with other businesses?) and within close distance from other places to go in the area. Staff seemed annoyed to be there, and appeared annoyed when I asked them about the bathroom. read more

I came to pickup a pre-scheduled catering order that was scheduled for 10:45 am. The young lady that was working was very rude and unapologetic as she told me that it would be at least another 20-25 minutes when I arrived. She provided horrible customer service. When finally received 25 minutes later, no "thanks for waiting" or "thanks for your patience". Zero common courtesy. This was on a work afernoon. (Wednesday) read more

Such a quaint place with delicious flavors. Stopped in for a late night bite. I wanted to try the spicy beef but the raisins in it made me reconsider. I decided on the spicy chicken and the chimichurri sauce.The sauce is fresh and has a nice kick. The empanadas were so delicious with a flaky crust. If I could I'd get more to take back on the plane. read more

We were in town recently for 4 days and loved this place; we ended up going twice. They were open 10am to 9pm most days. It was nice that they served beer. We were able to get a couple empanadas each with a beer. The service was friendly and quick. The place was clean and well kept. We loved the chicken caprese and the ham and cheese. We didn't try any others. We were sad we couldn't get these delivered to Michigan! Highly recommend you stop in if you are in Denver. read more

Lazo Empanadas - Spicy beef empanada - Empanadas Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Despite its small size, this eatery boasts an impressive array of 12 empanada flavors, masterfully blending sweet and savory elements The menu, though limited, is quite varied with unique combinations. Their made-to-order empanadas necessitated a brief wait, but it was definitely worth it. Three expertly crafted sauces complement the offerings: Chimichurri, Red Hot Sauce, and a mild Green Sauce. The green sauce being my favorite. They offer take out, the value for your buck is either the appetizer or regular sizes of packs of 10 or 20 which you can mix and match. Pair your empanadas with a refreshing salad and indulge in a sweet dessert. I recommend the flan. Beverage options encompass Malbec and Chardonnay wines, draft beer, and soft drinks. To optimize efficiency, online ordering is recommended, unless a wait is feasible. read more

Empanadas were amazing. Different than another empanada i've had the dough on the outside was thin, crispy, flakey, and the spicy beef on the inside had the perfect amount of spice. Also the customer service was amazing had a great conversation with the worker that told us about the background of the store and how they were made. read more

I used to love this place, the empanadas were really dry and old, and the door was breaking up, so disappointed

I've lived close to this location by coors field for a few months now, the empanadas are good. But the service not so much, I've come in enough to be waited on by most of the staff. Each time I come in the girls working here are kind of rude, shy and act miserable. I don't think I've ever seen a smile in here, and in the 2 months of coming here I've never seen another customer besides myself. Ambiance is cute and it seems to be kept relatively clean read more

Wishing you shipped!!!! Best empanadas I've ever had. I grabbed a 3 pack while on a work trip and was pleasantly surprised! read more

Found this little treat while sitting in another restaurant eating dinner. We decided to go there for dessert. The menu looks enticing. We ended up getting the chocolate filled empanadas. Next time, we will get a full dinner. It smelled so delicious inside. The staff were helpful and friendly. They have a good take out business. Parking is on the street or in a garage. They have good hour and reasonable prices. Handicap friendly. read more

Located on 22nd St & Larimer St. I'm not sure what the parking situation is since we were introduced to this place while on a food tour. This Argentinian lil' spot has the best beef Empanadas I've ever had! Perfectly flaked. I tried their Beef Empanada with a glass of red wine. With my empanada, I had their 'Chimichurri' sauce which consists of oregano, vinegar, olive oil, and possibly other ingredients. I had never tried this type of sauce, and I'm so glad I did because I'm obsessed. They also serve coffee, dessert, beer, wine, salads & more. Lazo's is the perfect spot for that light, small quick bite, and very satisfying. Overall, we had a great experience at this location. read more

I came here on a weekend during lunch hours when it was empty. I am a huge fan of empanadas and was excited to try some local flavor. I was a bit disappointed how burnt it was on the outside. While I see from others photos it is supposed to be quite baked, some of the empanadas were nearly completely black all around. The size of the empanadas are also quite small. I think the flaky outside contrasts well with a very moist inside. I decided to forgo sauce and I think that was a fine choice as it was already quite messy. The employee recommended the most popular beef. If there was a chicken option or chorizo only option (without the egg and what not) I would go with those. I think I preferred the chorizo one. For the price relative to the size and how filling it was, I think it could be cheaper. It's a bit pricey for a snack. They also gave me a huge bag with no handles and big box that was partially opened for just to small empanadas which was not a very convenient way to port them around. I suppose if you were around after a game and were looking for a unique bite and willing to put some money toward the flavor, it could be worth a shot. I probably won't be returning though. read more

My first time here and I've wanted to try them for a while. My first experience was with the person behind the counter. "Do you have specials or is it just by piece?" Her reply: "By piece or we sell them in groups of 10." As I'm placing my order I see that they in-fact do have specials; in this case they are listed as promos. Was a bit irritated but I got over it - just a speed bump. What made me go was the price of a can of coke. Thank goodness it was included in my PROMO. A 12oz can costs $5 (you didn't read that wrong)!! Now the almost 17oz bottle of Coke costs $4. More product for less money ... absolutely doesn't make sense. Their handout menu has a can at $3.00 (that is still high but makes sense). The food ... I ordered the Steak Quesadilla and a Spicy Chicken. You can't tell which is which so we dove right in. I got the queso first it seems. Squirted cheese all over the place. Think of like a thinner nacho cheese sauce and NOT queso in say a quesadilla traditionally. Another speed bump. It was good but messy. The Spicy Chicken was good. Overall the shell was perfect!! I'd come back and try some of the others (Chorizo, Cheese & Egg and the Spinach & Cheese look great. The Nutella and Banana also looks great. Take your time w the menu and don't order a can of soda a la carte. read more

Walking around the ball park area and wanted a small bite to eat and stumbled upon Lazo Empanadas. Glad we did! We were the only ones in there when we arrived, the gentleman behind the counter took our order and recommended some of their sauces to go with. We ended up getting one spicy steak, one spicy chicken, and one spicy beef. They were all fresh and piping hot. Great flavors and crunch! We got the green and red sauce and both went well with the empanada flavors! I like how small and fresh it is. Inside was very tidy and homey. read more

Very quick service. The empanadas are already made so they just heat them up. The insides were a bit liquidy but tasted great! The real winner is the crust. It's thin but sturdy and so flaky and delicious. I got the BBQ chicken, chicken caprese, and spinach and cheese. My favorite was the BBQ but they were all good. I tried the chimichurri and avocado sauces. Neither were very good. The empanadas really didn't need extra flavor either so I would definitely skip the sauce next time. I also got a dessert empanada: milk caramel, cream cheese, and peach. I wouldn't get that again. It was really liquid and covered in powdered sugar and I wasn't a fan. read more

Keep your eyes peeled. This is a cozy spot and if you're not looking you might walk past it. It's a great concept: Order empanadas. Eat empanadas. Wash it all down with a delicious beverage. (Adult options are available.) The menu is easy to browse. There are empanadas, sweet empanadas, sauce options, desserts, soda and beer. Promo dinners (2 empanadas + drink, etc...) are an option, if you're interested. read more

Delicious food at a reasonable price - came here on a food tour and came back to get some empanadas to take home. The chimi sauce is yummy!

I'm not a huge empanada eater but these definitely changed my mind. The crust is slightly flaky and reminds me of a cross between filo dough and pie crust. They serve it so that it's piping hot and crispy. I got one steak and one chicken and both were so flavorful and had a juicy filling. I am surprised at how tender the meat is in their fillings. I would 100% come back for a quick snack on the go. read more

I have tried their empanadas several times and I do not have many complaints about them. They are fast, the fillings are always on point, and the crust is delicious. I wish it was a little flakier but it's still a solid empanada. I do not feel the same about their sweet empanadas and other desserts as I've always feel they are not the best. The ham and cheese empanada is the unsung hero of their place! Service is always very pleasant and so is the ambiance read more

Very good empanadas, just know that if you're used to Colombian empanadas these are quite different. They are more flaky and less crunchy/deep fried tasting than the Colombian ones. A nice change. The sauces were good and service was friendly. read more

Food: 49/50 Service: 25/25 Ambience: 25/25 Total: 99/100 Absolutely delicious empanadas. I subtracted one point on food because they are not hand braid the empanadas, but rather the empanadas are clamped with a machine that has the different braids to differentiate flavors. I ordered the spicy steak, steak and spicy chicken. UUUFFFF. Sooooo yummy. The spicy chicken was well seasoned & the spice was good not too spicy. If you're wondering, "do I order that?" The answer is Yes. It was my favorite. Definitely will be back for some more Juicy flaky thin crust empanadas!!! PS. The alfajores in the window looked sooo soft and crumbly... but I got the flan with dulce de leche instead. NO REGRETS. GET IT! read more

Came here for some empanadas to go while in Denver earlier this year. I was intrigued because this place specialized in Argentine style empanadas, which I'm quite fond of, having been born in Argentina and having grown up with those types of empanadas. They have a decent sized menu, and I opted for one of their fresh mushrooms, one of their dulce de leche & chocolate, and one of their ground beef empanadas for the SO. I also asked for some chimichurri on the side. The dessert empanada was pretty good, as was their mushroom empanada. The SO thought their beef empanada was fine. The chimichurri was fine, albeit a bit on the oily side, and if anything, I just wished their food packaging was a bit more secure as I ended up getting powdered sugar from the dessert empanada everywhere. Still, not a bad place to get Argentine style empanadas in Denver. read more

I was staying at the Sheraton on business and couldn't wait to try this place around the corner. I have been used to homemade empanadas for decades, so I wanted to try this place and compare. It DID NOT disappoint. It seems a little pricey at first, but the size of the empanadas makes it totally worth it. I was pretty hungry (lunchtime, haven't eaten yet that day) and their meal of 3 and a drink was a perfect size. I had the steak, spicy steak, and the chicken. The meat combined with everything else they stuff in that light flakey crust hit the spot. I can't wait to try the other flavors. Highly recommend. read more

Empanadas had a good assortment to them. A little on the smaller side and a lot juicier than anticipated (came out scorching hot which is good that it was fresh but it stung a little!). Service wasn't terrible, just no frills and not really too talkative other than getting our orders which isn't bad. No frills shop, just empanadas. read more

This was amazing. The food is very delicious and worth the price.

They are good, good size but I think they're a bit pricey for my taste. 3.75/ea but they do have some great flavors wrapped in a phyllo dough pastry. They offer different combos also under the name of Promo (A-D) where you can get 2 or 3 empanadas, sauce and beverage for anywhere between $10-$15. They are pretty fast and service has been nice. While I wouldn't go out of my way to come downtown for an empanada, I do have to say that is worth trying at least once to see what the hype is all about. There's also sweet options :) Doesn't hurt to give them a try and see for yourself :) read more

I could kick myself! We stopped in here as part of the "Delicious Denver" walking tour (HIGHLY recommended, by the way...) and sampled the steak empañadas. They were absolutely terrific, and the accompanying chimichurri sauce was a flavor explosion! Paired with the house's Malbec, I was bowled over with the experience. The reason I could have kicked myself is that I made a mental note to stop by on the way home because they have frozen-to-go 10- and 20-packs. I planned to pick up some for later dining and completely forgot! Dang-it!!! Not the end of the world; I'm in Denver for a couple more days, but now I need to go back downtown! #FirstWorldProblems Highly recommended! read more
