    11 Fresh Mushrooms 3 Steak 7 Spicy Chicken 12 Spinach & Cheese

    Super tasty empanadas within the edgewater public market! In my limited experience, these seemed on the smaller side, so I ended up ordering 4 and it was the perfect amount to feel satisfied. I went on a busy Sunday afternoon & the workers were friendly and had my order up within 10 minutes. Unfortunately they were out of two of the empanada options by this time, a drink option, as well as the avocado sauce I really wanted to try! I ended up ordering the steak, spicy chicken, spinach & cheese, and the mushroom. I would get them all again! They were very hot on the inside so I ripped them all open a bit too cool. Sometimes chicken empanadas can be dry, but this one was great. The mushroom one was the messiest because there was a lot of moisture/water within the pastry. The chimmichurri (spelling?) sauce was delicious and I wish they gave me more! Maybe 1 sauce per 2 empanadas???

    Yum!

    First time to Edgewater Public Market and Lazo caught our eyes as we made our round. It was a rainy late afternoon, so it wasn't as busy which we liked. The exposed ceiling and open concept is always nice ambiance, but sometimes it can get quite noisy, but it was a perfect day. Minimal noise and plenty of seats. Great service from the host, she was packing some empanadas while we waited for her. My boyfriend and I both got a combo. I had two empanadas - Spicy Steak and Chorizo with chimichurri sauce, and a Pellegrino, while he had Steak Quesadilla, ham & cheese, and ground beef with avo sauce and soda. Spicy steak - wasn't my favorite. I didn't taste the spiciness and it was quite liquidy. The chimichurri sauce did not go well with it. The sauce tasted more like Italian herb in oil rather than parsley & cilantro. Chorizo - loved it! I didn't taste the chorizo, but the melting cheddar did it. I definitely did not put the sauce on it lol Ground beef - it was decent per the boyfriend Steak Quesadilla - wasn't a big fan of it. It was very watery and didn't taste like a quesadilla Ham & Cheese - this was his favorite. Can't go wrong with ham & cheese anything! I think at this point, anything with cheese is good. I personally can't say too much about the steak quesadilla, but all in perspective. Would come back for the Chorizo empanadas though.

    Spicy ground beef empanadas!

    Everything about the Edgewater Public Market rocks, and Lazo Empanadas is no exception. I love the setting, and the entire venue is all minority-owned businesses. Kind, quick service combined with a variety of empanadas choices in a well-laid out menu makes for a positive experience. I enjoyed their Spicy Ground Beef (#2 on the menu) and Chicken Caprese (#8) along with the green avocado medium spicy homemade sauce!

    I tried the spinach, mushroom, and cheese and a chorizo, egg , and cheese with a side of chimichurri for dipping. Both were very tasty, especially the pastry. I got a little tired of all of the cheese, but that was probably because I ate a few bites of my sons macaroni and cheese while I was waiting on my empanadas. I'd definitely go back though- yum!

    Lazos is one of my go to spots for empanadas especially if I want something that's not corn based shell. It's pretty pricey for the size of the empanada but it's worth it in my book. The beef and spicy versions are very flavorful and goes well with the sauce they have. It's the right amount of saltiness and slight sweetness. The empanada shell is very flaky and boy it's temperature hot when it's ready! The staff is always amazing, and the Edgewater location never fails us. It's the perfect snack after our softball games at Citizens Park!

    Can't go wrong with a light dinner! This place is quick when it's right before dinner rush. Very friendly staff and there is a menu with each ingredient listed for every item on the menu.

    Really good empanadas! The dough is very light, fluffy and flakey on the outside. I found Maria empanada to have dry dough and it's not as fluffy as this place. The dough here is almost like pastry dough which I prefer. It's perfect to allow the steak quesadilla filling to shine. The chimichurri sauce was a nice compliment as well! A bit on the pricey end at $4.25 an empanada but they do a great job here! Not pictured was the fresh mushroom which was very good! The spinach cheese was good. If you're in the area, definitely come by!

    8. Chicken Caprese

    I will start this review by saying I am not an empanada fan. I have always found the dough to be super heavy/thick, and the filling so heavy - that I have never enjoyed eating them. Lazo may have converted me...or maybe I have just experienced poor empanadas (or both)... I had the chicken caprese empanada and it was flavorful, oozing with cheese, and the dough was very light and tasty. The person behind the counter was very helpful and made the recommendation for the chicken caprese. I am excited to come back and try more empanadas...and also really love this location at Edgewater market!

    I'm giving Lazo 4/5 stars for taste and 3/5 for price. Each empanada was around $4-5 but was slightly bigger than a dumpling IMO. However, these empanadas came out piping hot and were extremely flavorful. The pastry was crispy on the outside and chewy but flaky to the point I could peel back the layers! I chose the spicy ground beef, spicy steak, and egg & chorizo. I was a fan of all three, and the spicy ones definitely had a kick! The Edgewater Public Market is enforcing COVID guidelines including wearing a mask and social distancing. With plenty of patio space, your best bet is to bundle up and eat outside or take your food to-go.

    Came here on a whim out of supreme hunger, and I am glad at how convenient and tasty this experience was! The staff was very sweet and kind at explaining the flavors. I ended up trying the spinach and cheese, steak quesadilla, and chicken caprese flavors. Each of them was so tasty and the sauces made it even more flavorful! Would definitely come back to try the other flavors next time.

    Empanadas are great, but the staff is always rude and seem like they'd rather be anywhere else

    Delicious empanadas. The dough is more of a puff pastry and the sauce was delicious. Tried the ground beef.

    This place is the real deal for Venezuelan food. I had the $16.50 lunch combo special which…read moreincluded a carnitas empanada, three cheese sticks /tequeños appetizers and a beverage. The empanada was huge--one was plenty for me. A friend ordered two and could only finish one! We also shared the Yucca Root with cheese and fresh avocado appetizer. Everything was simply made and very delicious, especially with one or more of the sauces provided in plastic bottles for the table. The service was prompt and friendly. The ambience is strictly plain, but the outdoor tables with umbrellas would be great on a nice warm day. I'll be back!

    As a person who passionately write reviews on Yelp, finding a restaurant many call a hidden gem is…read morea prideful moment. Last Sunday (on the day many were getting ready for their Super Bowl gatherings), I was busy running some errands in Sunnyside neighborhood. All of a sudden, the thought of eating to entertain my 70% empty stomach hit me, I searched for the word "empanada" as I wanted some finger food and this restaurant came up in my search. Upon finding out that it was about 5-10 minutes away from where I was, it was a no brainer to me. This is a Venezuelan restaurant with almost 5-star review. Not knowing much about Venezuelan cuisine, my first thought was that they might have similar dishes as the surrounding South American countries like Columbia do. But most of all, I was so eager to try their empanadas. I've had Argentinian, El Salvadorian, Columbian and Nicaraguan versions of empanadas in the past. I wondered how different Venezuelan ones would be... I was warmly greeted by a young lady upfront upon arrival. This is a small/family style restaurant. The number of tables is very limited but you can sit outside as long as the weather permits. There was a large table of 7-9 people having a birthday party. I think I hit the place during the peak lunch time. Their empanadas are priced at $8 range. This was a bit pricey to me at the first glance but since I didn't know what kind of portion size they'd be made in, I thought I'd give them a try. I got me Reina Pediada, Sweet Domino and Fish. The total came to $27 with some change. Yup, you usually don't pay this much for a few to several empanadas but hey, like I said, I decided not to judge at that point. The young lady who took my order impressed me with some careful attention to detail. I placed my sunglasses at the ordering counter where the space was very limited. She had to move them just a little when she placed the credit card receipt for me to sign it. "I worked in the optics before." is what she said when she gently placed my sunglasses a little to the side in a very careful way. What a kind/considerate gesture that was! This kind of minor and yet incredible care didn't escape my notice. Thank you!!! When my food was ready, the same young lady handed me my bag. It was quite heavy. As soon as I got to my car, I opened it and there they were; my beautiful empanadas were large and dense/heavy!! They appeared to be all deep-fried so I wonder if Venezuelan style empanadas are all that way? Not sure. Anyway, I was on my way to a job duty so I had to eat quickly. I started to take a bite out of each one and ohhh yes, they were dense with a lot of fillings inside. Although I must frankly say that I like the flaky baked kind of empanadas more, these Venezuelan ones were equally impressive. Yes, this was a surprise find. I will definitely stop by here when I'm in the neighborhood for sure.
