I've been wanting to visit this place for a while, and my husband finally took me for a date day and it did not disappoint! Everything was amazing, but the cheese empanada was definitely my favorite. The service was outstanding, and the staff gave us such great recommendations that made the experience even better. A special thank you to Anna Gomes, the owner, who was so kind and involved! You can really tell she cares about her guests and the overall experience. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Great food and service! Everyone was so attentive and servicial Jesus was amazing. Will come back!!! read more

I stopped in after getting my hair done next door. First off this place is adorable! Intimate, like it would be good for a date night! There is also an upstairs area! The service was next level! Everyone I encountered was perfect and more than willing to take the time to explain everything on the menu. I ordered to go, and it was pretty quick; I maybe waited 15 minutes. On Tuesday they do buy two get one free for tapas so I took advantage! The chicken mango empanadas were fantastic! But everything on the menu looked good! Bacon wrapped dates were a win! Brussel sprouts were good, but a little too sweet for me and the bruschetta like thing was tasty! I would strongly recommend and will return! read more

I heard this place was good, but we have so many restaurants in Las Vegas it's hard to get to all of them. I bought a Groupon to remind me to go check them out. Oh boy, this one did not disappoint! From the moment you walk in the ambiance, the decor & the music sets the tone. The staff is so friendly & welcoming. We didn't try any alcoholic beverages this time, I wanted to save room for the food. But the drinks looked lovely. They have sangria & also by the pitcher. We started with Dates wrapped in bacon, & Popcorn Calamari with honey Sriracha sauce! Then we shared the Garlic Steak Entree with loaded rice & the Classic Empanada we chose it fried & came with a Chile Lime Chimichurri. We finished with flan & churros. It was way too much food but EVERYTHING was so good, we wanted to try this & that. If you are looking for a great dinning experience with everything made in house, come on down for a great & tasty experience. Leave room for dessert! The flan was so light & delicate. The churros had 5 good size, fresh & warm with Carmel & chocolate sauce. We MUST go back! Their happy hour is now only from 7p- close. They also have a special on Tuesday buy 2 empanadas & get 1 free. They also have brunch on Sat & Sun. Only got the dessert pictures. But the presentation of all the courses is fun! read more

Loaded Empanadas was a really nice surprise and an easy recommendation in Vegas. The standout was the Passion Chicken empanada--a great balance of sweet, savory, and tangy that totally works with the side sauces, and feels bold without being gimmicky. Definitely not what you expect, in the best way. The ambiance and decor add to the experience, paired with music that makes you curious rather than fading into the background. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, happy to walk you through the menu. Not a life-changing empanada, but a solid find for something quick, flavorful, and a little unexpected. I'd happily come back to try more. read more

Attend their Master Empanada cooking class and had a great time! Food, drinks and learning to make empanada all for $45, can't beat this deal. Class started at 6pm in the upstairs area of the restaurant. The owner and the head chef lead the class on how to make empanadas. They demonstrated how the dough is made, how to stuff the empanadas and then we got to take turns making empanadas to take home and cook. We also learned how to make their delicious bacon wrapped dates! While the cooking lesson is being taught you get an order of empanadas, dates wrapped in bacon, some drinks and desserts at the end of class. I had a great time and highly recommend this for a night out or a fun date night. read more

We've dined here 3 times with friends and the service is incredible! The food is always wonderful. We've met the owner each time we've been there.

One word: WOW. The food here was amazing! The service was great and the ambiance was cute. What we ordered as a family of 4: magic mushroom, veggie bomb, tropical sea, shrimp al ajillo, shishito peppers, crème brûlée empanada, churros and an order of chicken bites with fries. They said everything was made in house - even the chicken bites and fries (never from frozen). We were so surprised on the taste. The food was fresh, delicious and even my kids loved it. They are the biggest food critics. Our server gave us recommendations and always checked on us. They even gave our kids a cool ball game to play after we ate our food while we were ready to leave and pay the tab. I highly recommend supporting this restaurant. You won't regret it. Prices are above average when you think of empanadas, but they are in Summerlin and you pay for the experience. We ate everything. No food left for leftovers. We will be back!!! read more

I love this place and its varied settings. It has outdoor seating that's beautiful and romantic. Indoor seating that's classic yet practical. And they have upstairs seating for events. That's exactly what I had at their upstairs dining area. I had a wonderful HR event with a speaker. The owners of this amazing venue gave us full access to it that included microphones, surround sound, and even a screen to play any videos. The food is delicious and varied and not just empanadas. They also have amazing drinks. This is a great place for intimate setting, business meeting, or just meeting friends for an enjoyable happy hour. read more

We've been loyal diners at Via Brasil since almost the beginning and love the food, service, and hospitality so when Anna and Adam opened Loaded Empanadas, I knew we had to try it. Well they did it again! The food is very high quality. The service and hospitality are fantastic. Make sure that you have dessert too. We recommend Via Brasil to everyone we know that lives here or visits Vegas and now I'm adding Loaded Empanadas to the must go to places in Las Vegas! read more

Loaded Empanadas - Empanadas - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I've been wanting to try this place for ages and finally got the chance. It is a cute, if somewhat narrow, restaurant with a small order counter. When I was there for my to-go order, they were hosting a speed dating which entertained me for a few minutes while waiting for my food to be ready. The pastry is light and flaky on the inside but crisp on the outside, so it won't fall apart but breaks open nicely. An order for between 10 and 15 dollars gets you two decent-sized empanadas. I ordered the Maze Balls - It was stuffed with Meatballs, Manchego, and caramelized onion with a sweet chile marinara sauce that comes on the side. There was plenty of meat inside, but not too much that it all fell out after a bite. The meatballs were spicier than expected or hoped, but it was a good mix of flavor. The sweet chile sauce made it work, though. I also had the Philly - Beef Short Rib with Peppers, shallots, mushroom and cheese. The flavor was the star, though be warned, it can get messy dripping (ie, don't eat it in the car as I did.) Still, it was my favorite of the three I tried. Finally, we had the Veggie Bomb, a tasty mix of broccoli, asparagus, carrot, mushroom, and cheddar. The Asparagus Sauce is good if you like asparagus. Not everyone in my family did. It is great that they have at least two vegetarian-friendly options. They also have a few tapas and several other empanadas, which I will definitely sample when I go back. For dessert, we ordered the churros. They were thick and crunchy and a delicious finish for the meal. They come with caramel sauce and a chocolate sauce. Also, they have a $5.00 happy hour menu from 5-6 p.m. and a full happy hour menu from 7 p.m. till closing. Sangria is 20% off during the evening happy hour. Tapas Tuesdays - Buy 2 tapas, get the 3rd free, and Sangria Sundays (50% off all Sundays) are other regular events. read more

Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 9/10 The empanadas are absolutely divine! The spread alone is worth every penny. It's so soft and flavorful. The passion chicken was my fave. They are also freshly cooked, so they arrive HOTTT! Be patient before eating them. Service was fantastic. Everyone was very attentive, kind and personable. This place excels at presentation and design the interior design is very unique and fills very authentic to the cultures that they're representing and I am a sucker for a kitchen gimmick so I loved the flame sticks that came out with each order. I will return when I visit Vegas again! read more

Probably one of the best meals I've had in a long time. We walked by just to see what this place was and I was so impressed. Service was incredible and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Everything on the menu sounded incredible... we ended up trying the mushroom one and the tropical fruit one with shrimp. Both were outstanding with fresh, homemade dipping sauces!! Not to mention the adorable decor and setting with great music. Also... $5.50 sangrias on sundays?! It's like they were paying me to drink it. I can't wait to go back and try everything!!! read more

I was planning on just having the Tapioca Cheesy Dice which would have been fine because they were Yummy with a capital Y!!! They are gluten free fried cheese cubes. I couldn't believe I was also able to order an empanada. The Philly has Beef Short Rib, Peppers, Shallots, Mushroom and Cheese. It's served with a Spicy Tomatillo Sauce. All empanadas can be made gluten free for an additional charge. The dough was amazing. It's hard to believe that it was gf. The filling was so delicious, creamy and cheesy with tender beef. The Garlic Steak has chimichurri marinated tri tip in a garlic sauce with caramelized onion. This one is another winner. One dessert that I really miss is Chocolate Mousse. It's a dessert that's outdated. It was very popular in past decades but you don't see it much anymore. Even when it is on the menu it isn't really mousse. It's too heavy. Not at Loaded Empanadas!! Their Chocolate Mousse is the real deal. Light and fluffy and topped with whipped cream. It was so good I would go back just for dessert. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. I am definitely putting this one in my regular rotation. I can't wait to get through the rest of the menu. Thank you for a fabulous meal. read more

We absolutely loved our experience at Loaded Empanadas! We were walking by and were promptly greeted by our server who came out to say hi to us and invite us in. How could we say no? We were seated immediately and given the run down of the menu. The inside is really cool, with a photo booth downstairs and entire bar area upstairs. Our server was super nice and attentive the entire time. She also made all of our drinks! They were amazing. I got a lychee mocktail and it was really cool, it came with lychees garnished with edible glitter and it was also super refreshing. We got a whole bunch of empanadas to try, but my favorite was the Cubana. It was basically like a sandwich in empanada form, but it was delicious. I also really loved the Philly. Both had such great flavor and paired nicely with the sauces that were brought out. The presentation of everything was awesome. The empanadas came out on a platter with a giant sparkler on top. It was pretty entertaining. All in all service was 10/10 and so was the food, so I'm definitley looking forward to our next visit. read more

While out running errands we decided to find a spot to cross off our list and Loaded empanadas was at the top. We had never been to the Boca Park area and we were pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. The parking lot was pretty full and we had to drive around a bit to find parking, even with it being mid week. We walked in and to our surprise it was empty, Ana greeted us right away and was very nice. We sat down and she was on it and attentive. She explained all the happy hour options along with answering any of our questions. We started with the potatoes bravas which were tasty, could have been tad more crispy but still good. We also ordered some empanadas, the passion chicken and the magic mojo. Both were very good, nice flavor and the sauces were excellent. The mango salsa was really good. Overall we enjoyed our meal and we were happy we gave it a try. It's a journey from Henderson but if we are in the area we will definitely make a stop. read more

Celebrated my birthday here with my girls and had a great time! Service was amazing the moment we arrived. We met the owner, Anna, and she was so sweet and very welcoming. Food is tapas style so we ordered a bunch of different plates to share and try. Each dish comes out with a cute sparkler for presentation. Everything we had was delicious. The Garlic Steak tapas and The Philly empanada were my favorite. Don't forget to try their desserts! We had the dessert tower and everything on there was amazing! Lots of tapas, empanadas, champagne, desserts, and laughs were had here! The vibes are perfect for a date with the girls! read more

Great food - all 8 of us loved our food. Will I go back? No. There were two tables of two in the restaurant. And us, table of 8 separate checks. Waiter brought six entrees out and said, "Sorry, I gave two of your dinners to the wrong table." WTF so, six of us ate and the missing entrees showed up after dinner. Me? I would have offered 10% to the two people left out. Then, time to pay the card-reader would not read my Visa. Three times. Then the card reader would not read my Debit card twice. Super embarrassing in front of my tablemates. Waiter brought a different card reader to the table and this time it worked. Not good behavior. read more

Our server was the sweetest. We took our kids ages 4 and 7 and this place has ruined other restaurants for me. Usually we get some crayons while we wait. Here they brought the kids cookies to decorate while we waited for our main courses, then baked them while we ate and served the kids the cookies they had decorated for desert. It was so creative and fun. The kids also got an empanada lesson with the head chef and they sent us home with the empanadas the kids made. The food and drinks were both delicious. The lycee sangria was fabulous. Oh and also it's super affordable with lovely ambiance. I wish we lived locally so we could go back. Omg and the cheese balls. It was like being back in Brazil. read more

Listen, mi gente... I went to Loaded Empanadas and let me tell you these empanadas are so good they almost made me call my abuela to confess I've been cheating on her recipes. I walked in thinking, "Okay, una empanadita, a little snack." Nah, bro. These things are LOADED. They're not empanadas, they're food trucks disguised as pastries. I took one bite and said, "¡Asere! ¿Qué cosa es esto?" My taste buds started doing salsa, and I'm pretty sure I heard Celia Cruz in the background yelling "¡Azúcar!" The fillings? Ridiculous. Juicy, seasoned like someone's tío who grills all summer long. The dough? Perfect crunch on the outside, fluffy on the inside like the Cuban sandwich's younger, more attractive cousin. By the time I finished, I was full, happy, and ready for a siesta. Only downside? I didn't order more. Rookie mistake. Next time I'm bringing una maleta (a suitcase) and just filling it with empanadas. Verdict: 10/10. If you don't like these, I don't trust you probably the same people who put pineapple on pizza. ¡Dale, go get some empanadas, chico! read more

Out and about running errands and stumbled upon this place in the summerlin area. Place is really colorful, playful and inviting. We were in for the coffee and thought they had it. True enough, they do have coffee, and more was to be explored. The place definitely boasts of Spanish food. Can't say enough good words with our server Jesus. He is such a vibrant and pleasing personality. He served us very well, attentive and the food service did not take that long. They also offered us samples. The manager very accommodating. So, I ordered the pineapple chicken with mango sauce. I was told the sauce is also blended with pomegranate. It immediately is my favorite empanada. An order normally comes in two empanadas. Partner ordered the Philly. This empanada is inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak; this empanada is a must-try. Both empanadas were not greasy, very crunchy, filled enough for the yumminess. We also tried the churros, oh my, the caramel dip and chocolate dip is astounding! you must try this too. We had leftover churros; I air fried it and good as new for tomorrow's snack. Can't forget to mention...they have happy hour!!! check out their website. read more

We've been to restaurants throughout Boca Park and finally tried this place to see how the empanadas would be like compared to other restaurants around Summerlin with the same delicacy. We were greeted with that welcome energy one looks for in a good restaurant. The interior was clean and spotless. Our waitress Ana from Brazil was so helpful in explaining their various dishes and selections. The Empanadas were a good size and the food inside them were exceptionally well cooked. The shrimp inside the Tropical Sea empanada was cooked perfectly. The Classic empanada was also delicious. Never had a bacon wrapped heart of palm and not disappointed at all. Overall, the ambiance, food and most of all, the service was A-okay. I would recommend Loaded Empanadas anytime,anywhere. Be back for sure. read more

I finally went to try Loaded Empanadas after driving past several times a week. There is an excellent selection of various empanadas and side dishes. You can get them either baked or fried. I ordered baked veggie empanadas with the tomato soup. They were delicious, especially when dipped in the chimichurri sauce. I need to try the mushroom empanadas next time. The service was good, and the restaurant was rather quiet as I went when few people were there. The most challenging part of the experience was the parking. The lot is shared by several businesses in Boca Park. I will be returning. read more

Went with the classic, fried. The empanadas were solid. They were a little sweeter than I'd like, and maybe a little juicier than I'd prefer (squirting out with each bite), but really good none the less. read more

I stopped in here when they first opened, but had already ate next door so I just checked it out. I definitely bookmarked it and was excited to return. Fast forward I met my fellow Yelper and friend Joanna V. for brunch on a late Saturday morning. They had just opened and we were greeted with warmth and friendliness from the staff. The interior is decorated with such a flair. They have seating both down and upstairs. Due to visiting during the holidays, the restaurant looked very festive which made our experience that much better. We took a few minutes viewing the menu and I asked for recommendations from the staff on what their favorites might be. They serve a variety of empanadas along with tapas, soups, salads, and some interesting sides like Magic Beans...hmmmm I must try these in the future. These empanadas provide flavors from Spain, Cuba, Argentina and Brazil along with a unique Sangria Bar. I decided to try The Philly (a recommendation) which consisted of Beef Short Rib, shallots, mushroom and cheese with a spicy tomatillo sauce and I also was able to try one of my friends Magic Mushroom. Both of these empanadas were so tasty, but I truly loved The Philly. Flavors were so on point. We also tried the roasted cauiflower featured cauliflower, garlic, paprika and chimichurri sauce. Parking can be a challenge as they are located in the busy Boca Park Fashion Village. Service was excellent and we were checked on several times. I look forward to returning and trying out more empanadas along with eating The Philly again. read more

We really enjoyed our experience, here. Loaded Empanadas is a unique eatery that offers a one of a kind experience. The store front is decorated with everything heart and love which makes it an inviting place to celebrate a special occasion with people that you love. The empanadas come in an order of 2. We ordered 4 different empanadas and split the 8 of them. My favorite was the beef because it was closest in flavor to a traditional empanada. Many of the flavors are non traditional, in example the others we ordered we seafood, Cuban, and chicken curry. 06-28-2025 read more

AMAZING!! The absolute best empanadas I have ever tasted! The crust was flakey and flavorful I could eat it on its own but the filling was even better, I tried the veggie, chicken, philly & cheese empanadas and you can't go wrong with any of them but my two favorites were the philly & veggie! The veggie empanada filling almost reminded me of a veggie pot pie it was so hearty and filling. Philly was made with short rib and so tender and flavorful it was like no other empanada I've ever tasted. The Drinks were great as well they make each drink so cute they add these cute little lights in them and edible glitter and some of the sangrias come with fruit toppers. Literally everything about this place was perfect, they pay such attention to the little details that make everything special. They even bring out all the empanada trays & desserts with a sparkler & bubbles. I can't wait to go back to this place it's going to be my new weekly spot. read more

First time trying this beautiful restaurant. Upon entering we were greeted with elegant salutations. By the woman from the counter. She was extremely knowledgeable with the menu. As my wife and I decided a sample of one of their empanadas, we've decided with the Veggie bomb. Just like this lovely presentation, it was an explosion of flavors on my palate. Then to add the Chimichurri sauce, was the icing on the cake!! Perfect pairing for those lovely empanadas.. The server was extremely attentive which we decided to go with the empanada tower for my wife & I's picnic for this afternoon... I totally recommend this great restaurant...! Thank you to all the wonderful staff that was extremely helpful & generous. Added more photos of what we are having for our picnic dinner. Delighted & delicious. read more

Wow...loved the food! You can get empanadas baked, fried, or gluten free (+$3). We got tha classic baked and gluten free. I thought the baked ones were terrific, but then I tried the gluten free--out of this world!

The flavor selection is awesome. read more
