I saw this spot after visiting Downtown Pizza Grill next door. I had high expectations but was disappointed with my visit. Although the location was spacious and clean, the service was lacking. The person behind the counter seemed bothered and unwelcoming, which was a bummer. The empanadas were small and not the best I've had. The guava and cheese lacked, add the guava flavor but it was incorporated and was just a slice of guava with melted cheese. The meat empanada is made with ground beef, it was only okay. Compared to other places, these were smaller and slightly burned. Sadly, I won't be returning. There are plenty of better options in Broward! Still, try them out. You may have a better experience.

Lovely little spot for delicious empanadas. Lazo Empanadas has the friendliest owner who is also a plant enthusiast. He always welcomes us with a bright smile and positive attitude. The empanadas are so delicious here. They're flaky and hot and filled with the most delicious fillings. We love the chorizo, chicken caprese, spinach & cheese, and the fresh mushrooms. If you love empanadas it's worth stopping by here. You'll leave happy!

We decided to check out this place after driving by dozens of times... We walked in and the guy behind the counter looked at us with a "not so friendly face". When we said we wanted to read the menu before deciding, he just walked away to the back of the store. Finally we came out again...we placed our order and asked if they could be heated so we could eat in ... He said....."You want them heated ??!?!!!".... Like we were asking for his first born... True Argentinian empanadas are big ... these were tiny.... We ate our empanadas and I found them salty and full of MSG. I had to go home quickly after.. the empanadas just went right through me.... Next time, I'll go to Publix...about the same size at about 1/3 of the price.

Decided to give this little spot a try. Fantastic empanadas. They were out of the ground beef and spicy ground beef which are the ones I wanted. After the family decided they wanted more they said that they had one spicy beef left. It was my favorite that I tried. We will be back next time that we are in Fort Lauderdale!

I saw Lazo Empanadas when I was pulling up to one of my favorite spots to grabbing lunch. It is a pretty eclectic little spot that sells nothing but, as the name implies, empanadas. There was only one attendant I could see , and he was wearing a mask. There was also hand sanitizer for patrons to use. I was the only customer in, the attendant was very nice, he let me know they had packages and so I picked one of them. I got a Nutella/banana, guava and cheese They were good, the only thing I didn't care for as much was the burnt spots on top. As for my savory picks, I got: Chorizo (which I didn't know had egg in it) a spicy steak, steak and ground. They were out of chicken. Favor was great, but I couldn't tell them apart. They labeled them, but as far as texture and flavor, I didn't feel a big difference.. Overall though, i liked the concept, service and flavors. I can definitely see myself coming back for more.

Was excited to try these empanadas because they are vegetarian which i feel is hard to find. I ordered two of the mushroom (based on the cashier recommendations) and one of the spinach. I found the pastry was over done (had too much of a burnt flavor) and the portions were pretty small for the price. Mushroom one was better than the spinach empanada. The only problem is that there was too much moisture left in the empanada so there was a lot of juice dripping out. The spinach was decent. I appreciated the packaging and labeling of the empanadas.

I love this place! Best empanadas ever! The server was very kind! Beef, quesadillas and Nutella empanadas the best ones!

Had a quick weekend getaway to Miami and really wanted to grab some empanadas. We walked into this very nice, clean establishment and the gentlemen behind the counter was wonderful. He explained the flavors and quantity orders. There were 3 of us and we wanted 3 orders of 3 that we would pay for separately and he suggested to just order the 9 pack and it would come out to less. He made sure to label all of the different flavors. They were still hot when we got back to our hotel room and all of the flavors were really good. We had the BBQ Chicken, Caprese Chicken, Steak, Steak Quesadilla and Ground Beef. All tasty and unique although the Ground Beef could have used some cheese The filling was seasoned so well and none of the flavors of the ingredients were overpowering. The crust was really good too! I'd recommend stopping by for a fresh hot Empanada.

Amazing food and service! Owner is fabulous. I wish he would open one in Corpus Christi.

The place is bomb! Tried them out after my best friend recommended them since she's here just about every week. It was a perfect stop to satisfy the morning hunger. I ordered 6 empanadas:spicy steak (since they we out of spicy beef), spicy chicken, and dulce de leche. The marinades in the meat and chicken were perfect and juicy with just a slight hint of spicy. The dulce de leche was perfect when you want something for that sweet tooth. They were so good I wish I ordered more. But that just means I get to come back for the rest on the menu and hopefully the spicy beef. I stopped in shortly after opening hours. These were made hot and fresh to order!

I've been living in Pompano for 5+ years and did not know about this place and I want to kick myself especially since now I'm moving on the opposite side. I was warmly greeted by the owner Nicholas, who let me Peuse the menu when spoke to me about some of his suggestions, which was awesome. I had the following with the following Guava and cheese-4/5 Spicy chicken - 3/5 Spicy steak -4/5 Spinach and cheese - 5/5 soooo good Steak quesadilla - 5/5 omg Chicken caprese- 10 to 5. This was so good. I didn't even take a picture. I will definitely be back for more because I'm already thinking about it for the next day read more

WOW what a good find...friendly family run empanada cafe in a strip mall. 5 stars all around 5 star food: the empanadas were amazingly good...flaky crispy and chewy all at once. I'm a huge empanada fan, generally and these were among the best I've ever had. Spicy chicken, spinach and even Nutella ( with a Diet Coke LOL) were all terrific. 5 star service: the smiling woman at the counter was super friendly and we chatted a while about our mothers' cooking. (Hehe mine couldn't but hers could). Surprisingly she also cooked everything. 5 star ambiance: its clean and bright inside with cool art and little low tables. The fun Argentinean pop Muzak is cool too read more

While at the 62nd Street Plaza picking up my hen soup from the small Latin grocery store down the strip, I spotted this empanadas place. I wondered if they were Argentinian empanadas. Nailed it! Oh so good! It was mid afternoon and fortunately not very busy because they are prepared while you wait. You can also buy them frozen to heat & serve at home. The attendant was very helpful and shared a little about the family-owned business. Then he went back to the kitchen to fill my small order of one caprese, one BBQ chicken, and one spinach empanada. They were delicious and I will return! read more

I had an interesting meal here. I ordered the spicy beef, ham & cheese, spinach & cheese and guava. There's nothing fantastic about these empanadas, but they aren't terrible either. The guava and cheese had a thick slice of guava, the same guava you can buy at the grocery store that is completely granulated. Very odd texture. Wasn't melted enough & it was too thick - the empanada was burnt. The spicy beef was sweet. I guess it's the raisins, but I was looking for a spicy kick and didn't expect opposite. The ham and cheese was good. The spinach was loaded and probably my favorite. For the price I don't think it's worth it unless you're looking for a quick bite. The gentleman working had a few customers come in while I was waiting - could've been an off day, but he was cursing in the back extremely loud. Just unprofessional - turn up the music or get more furniture. It's a bit "open". read more

Not too bad. Not too bad. When we visited Buenos Aires we hit up about a dozen of the best empandada shops in town. That's just to say we're spoiled... These aint that, but they were decent.

Really tasty and flaky crust. The empanadas are also quite full. It's a nice amount of stuffing. I really like their beef and chicken. Spinach and cheese is also delicious they are a really nice size too. Three really fill me up. I usually call ahead and place a to go order of a dozen and they are always quick with their service. Love it when they cool down a little and it a perfect meal with a nice cold beer or smooth glass of wine at home. read more

These are definitely not classic Argentinian empanadas, but they're super tasty! I highly recommend the steak quesadilla (very untraditional but so good). The empanada was very cheesy and flavorful.

This place was recommended by a friend since I've been obsessed with empanadas lately! I'm SO glad they recommended it because it was AMAZING! I'm pretty sure the owner was there when we went and he was so friendly and helped us with menu recommendations based off of what we like. Honestly, they have SO much choices, inclusive of vegetarian options, that it was hard to choose on my own!! I wish I had time to go back to try more flavors before we left. We got the chicken caprese empanadas and the ground beef. They were both wonderful! The outside had the perfect crunch and the inside melted in your mouth. Perfect flavors!

After moving to Ft. Lauderdale from Miami it is so hard to find great latin food... especially empanadas. This place is so so good. Restaurant is super clean, prices fair for the area too. Conveniently located in a plaza right off Cypress. I ordered the bbq chicken, chorizo, beef and ham and cheese empanadas!! Oh my lanta!! All are made to order so they aren't just laid out like most places. The crust is soft but, crunchy. All flavors were bursting wonderful vibes into my mouth. It truly filled me with so much happiness!! My fav was the bbq chicken. Explosion of deliciousness!! Ham and cheese was gooey and had loads of cubed up sweet ham! Yummy!! They have about 12-15 flavors including all veggie items and dessert! Offer various sodas/drinks as well for an extra .99 when you purchase 3 or more. Say yes to this empanada restaurant if you truly want legit latin flavors!! read more

I really liked this place. The guy that served us said that this is a family owned business. He was personable and helped us make up our minds with our selections. We each had 4.5 empanadas which was fun because we got to try several of the flavors. I liked the steak quesadilla, spicy ground beef, and the spinach/cheese one. Well... Let's face it, I like them all. I finished with a sweet empanada filled with Nutella and bananas. My husband let me try his guava filled one. both of those were great too. The other wonderful thing is that it is walking distance from the Westin hotel we stayed at. Loved the flaky dough filled with deliciousness!! read more

Considering the lack of fresh baked empanadas in NYC, I should be grateful to encounter an empanadas takeout... but to be honest they were meh.. We ordered 6 - 2 beef, 1 caprese, 1 steak (basically a salteña) 1 chicken, and 1 spicy beef. Its not that they were bad but they werent great. Maybe they lacked seasoning.. I cant call it. The beef empanadas had raisins - which made them sweet and more similar to filipino empanadas - i prefer olives.. read more

The best empanadas that I've tasted in sooo long. It was just what we needed and down the street from the Hampton Inn. It's a nice and small personal restaurant with a few seats to sit in and enjoy your empanadas. Prices were moderate for some really tasty empanadas. Spicy beef & Steak were the best in our eyes because of all the flavors and spices but all were edible and good. I definitely recommend this place. read more

From the Business

Specialties

Lazo Empanadas are traditional Argentinian pockets of perfection stuffed with mouthwatering savory fillings, nestled in flaky dough, and baked with love. We have 14 flavors - our most popular include Ground Beef, Steak, and Spicy Chicken. We also have a veggie line of delicious Spinach & Cheese and Mushroom and Cheese.

History

Established in 2018.

Over lunch one afternoon, my cousin and I shared a vision of serving high quality delicious food in a simple to eat way; of course we were dreaming of delicious empanadas served out of quaint "hole in the walls" across the country. In 2016, Lazo Empanada was founded with a mission of creating Empanada fanatics everywhere. In 2017 we brought a new brand of Argentinian style baked empanada to South Florida. After many farmer's markets, festivals and special events, we opened our first South Florida location in Oakland Park, Fort Lauderdale. Come on by, they may very well be the best empanadas you have ever tasted.

After coming here for over eight years, this place continues to satisfy my Brazilian food cravings…read more The team at Pampa Gaúcho hasn't just maintained their standards; they've raised the bar in both service and variety. They have added grilled pineapple, which is perfect for cleansing the palate between meats, and a grilled white cheese with honey that is delicious. The polenta is no longer served at the table, but it isn't really missed. The salad bar is well-stocked with fresh greens and several savory sides that are always plentiful. The meats are served frequently and are always cooked to your preferred temperature upon request. For dessert, my favorites remain the passion fruit mousse and the brigadeiro cake--they even brought me the mousse with chocolate sauce when I asked! The atmosphere is private and cozy. It isn't ostentatious, yet it feels special enough for a celebration or a nice casual dinner. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

We asked for water so they brought us a bottle of water while we were at the salad bar and then charged us for the bottle. We would not have drank it had we known that there was a charge for it. 6. The restaurant was way overpriced. The price was comparable to restaurants on Las Olas and the quality of the food was not nearly the same.

There was nice decorations on the wall and I couldn't find a single crumb anywhere! The staff was also friendly and told us where to go to grab the food we ordered. I decided to get the skirt steak and it was cooked to perfection. I will say the chimichurri sauce was a little underwhelming as it didn't have my flavor and only tasted like oil to me, so I didn't use it. The steak was flavorful and the portion was more then reasonable for the price! The rice was also very well done as well, cooked perfectly! I will for sure be coming here again in the future to try more of their food they have to offer and grab a couple drinks!

It's a cute setup, though it looks like the furniture could use a bit more care. Animals and weather will always take a toll on outdoor seating, so I'd recommend they start covering it to keep things fresh. That said, I didn't regret sitting there--it still added to the experience. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from an Argentine steakhouse, but I was pleasantly surprised by the drinks. I had both the cucumber gimlet and an espresso martini, and both were excellent. So good, in fact, we went in for a second round with no hesitation. To start, we had the shrimp appetizer, and it was very solid. The shrimp came in a buttery sauce with some bread on the side, and it hit the spot. The table bread itself was also a win--fresh, warm, and well-baked. For entrées, we had the steak with a side salad. The steak was fresh and cooked well, and the salad was crisp. However, the sides overall felt a bit underwhelming. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out either. We also ordered the lobster ravioli, and that dish didn't quite land. The filling inside the ravioli was good, but the sauce tasted like plain cream and butter, it didn't really complement the dish or elevate the flavor. It was edible, but forgettable. Maybe this is more of an appetizer and drinks place for me and not dinner.

The ambience is simply delightful, striking the perfect balance between cozy and vibrant, making it an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The service here is top-notch. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and attentive, ensuring that our needs were met without being intrusive. It was refreshing to see how quickly our food was served, allowing us to dive into our meal without a long wait. Now, let's talk about the food! We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality. The steak sandwich was juicy and flavorful, while the burger was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of toppings. The sirloin steak paired with creamy mashed potatoes was a highlight, showcasing the restaurant's expertise in handling beef. The grilled chicken, tender and well-seasoned, was complemented perfectly by crispy fries. However, the true star of the meal was the beef empanadas. I can confidently say they were the best I've ever tasted! The flaky pastry encased a savory filling that was simply divine. I could have eaten dozens of them! To top off our dining experience, we indulged in the tres leches for dessert, which was absolutely delicious. Its rich, creamy texture and perfect sweetness were the ideal way to conclude our meal. Overall, the Argentinian Grille exceeded my expectations in every way. With its inviting atmosphere, outstanding service, and delicious food served promptly, it's a place I'll be returning to often. If you're in Boca, don't miss out on this gem!

My son went straight for the Milanesa con Papas Fritas a Caballo--a crispy breaded steak topped with two fried eggs, with fries perfect for dipping into the yolk. For dessert, the Panqueque con Dulce de Leche was the perfect sweet ending (though this time, he ate it all by himself!). The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with the owners always making sure everything is perfect. The owner even came over to greet us, which was such a nice touch. Without a doubt, the best kosher meat in Miami. We'll definitely be back!
