The Empanadas were okay itself but with the sauces is what gives it flavor. I had their spicy asada and the beef empanada. Their spicy asada was plain and I thought it would be spicy inside but it was not. They gave on the side what tastes like a mild taco salsa. The beef empanadas had what looks like bits of potatoes or onions and maybe some red chilis but not spicy at all. It tasted plain. I liked the chimmichurri sauce more than the pastry. I liked that it was hot and fresh. Im not into the deep fried for mornings but maybe baked would have been nice.
It was the heat of the moment Telling me what my heart meant The heat of the moment Showed in your eyes... 4.75/5 Food The spicy asada was also very juicy with a little spiciness but add the red saucefor more spice. The NY Cheesecake was tasty! Made me think i was eating a slice of cheesecake. 5/5 Service Great service! Unsure on the size of the empanada? They have a little pink paper empanada for reference. They have water right next to the register if you are thirsty. They have a cozy indoor seating a bit limited in space. I do recommend ordering ahead to avoid waiting. 3.5/5 Parking Limited parking right next to the restaurant but you can park across the street. Cozy interior but I'd recommend to order for pick up.

Going to a World Cup party, thought about getting food from Lord Empanadas. Of course the hostess already had the idea and told me she already ordered pretty much everything on the menu from this place. Times three! We tried beef, chicken, beans and even their banana and Nutella dessert empanadas. I was afraid it was going to be too sweet but I brought all the dessert leftovers home. They were great. Naturally sweet bananas. Didn't taste artificial at all. The beef empanadas were definitely the most popular. I still prefer the flaky Asian meat pies but this is still good. The dough is quite dense. We had enough leftovers, my partner brought several savory for lunch.
Yummy! I enjoyed how they had so many savory and sweet empanadas. I think my favorite was the chicken Alfredo but it was a close call. I'd say 4 was the amount for someone because they are pretty large.
Wow! Delicious! Everyone needs to try the empanadas here! I ordered the caprese sandwich along with some pizza, black bean corn, and apple empanadas! 5/5! Amazing customer service as well!
Nice little empanada spot by the freeway in Monrovia. Only got to try the chicken and breakfast sausage (wished the breakfast one had more sausage) but the chicken paired with the hot sauce they give was solid! Definitely need to come back and try the other flavors!
Decided to try a Birria empanada and Breakfast empanada w/ chorizo. I absolutely loved how crispy and stuffed both of these empanadas were! It is always such a disappointment when place give you soggy tasting empanadas. The spicy chimichurri was more like hot sauce and neither of us enjoyed it. However, we loved their regular chimichurri! The breakfast one was better than I expected, but it didn't taste like there was chorizo in it. We think they may have accidentally given us soychorizo instead. The birria empanada was really flavorful and had great quality meat. However, the consomme was bland and didn't add much to the overall flavor. I ended up getting a local pastry beer from here, which I didn't like and was insanely sweet. However, it did kinda taste like a marionberry pie, which was impressive. 3.5 overall. I wouldn't say it's top 100 worthy, but it's not disappointing.
When you're 39 weeks pregnant and craving empanadas! The beef, spinach and cheese, spicy asada, and mushroom empanadas all hit the spot. And the filling is generous and not overly salted. The space is small, but plenty of parking across the street by the old train station.
Lord Empanada stays winning. Came back for a second visit and grabbed a dozen empanadas with six different flavors--perfect for mixing it up. The beef is just as good as I remembered--savory and satisfying. The birria is deeply flavored with a nice smoky richness. Spicy asada has a great zing to it, and the steak stays tender. The mushroom filling is creamy and earthy, the spinach is cheesy and comforting, and the chicken alfredo is rich, buttery, and melts in your mouth. Brought them to work the next day to share, and they still held up incredibly well. Everyone loved them--definitely a crowd-pleaser. Safe to say this spot is consistently delivering.
Tried a dozen empanadas here and no regrets. (I think you do have to buy 2 min for each chosen flavor for the dozen.) Singles are about $3.95 while the dozen is $42 before tax. I'm basic and liked the mushroom the most, but be sure to eat this one warm so the cheese and mushrooms blend in just right. Don't forget to dip in the spicy salsa sauce and house made chimichurri! All the beef flavors hit the spot too: Reg. beef - had raisins but didn't taste them besides some hints of sweetness Birria - came with consomme Spicy asada - just like the taco but not spicy imo. Also tried the chicken Alfredo (white meat), and spinach and cheese (had unique herbs added, maybe fennel?), and the mixed berry cheesecake (good but can get a bit dense). p.s. Lord Empanada seems to be going though some construction/remodeling atm so parking can be limited to the street. But there's a public parking lot diagonally across the street.
Background On Visit: I've drove by this place many times on my way to old town Monrovia, but never tried their food until last Friday. Credit Card: They're accepted. Restroom: There's a small restroom is in the back of the shop. Location/Parking: Located between E. Evergreen and E. Pomona Ave. on S. Myrtle Ave.. Parking situation is a bit tough, but you can park along Pomona Ave.. Ambiance/Decor: Doesn't really look nice from the outside, but it gets better when you step into the shop. Neat ambiance with modern furnishings Service: Tonya was very nice, attentive, friendly, informative, and offered great suggestions. Empanada Of Choice: Had two empanada's ($3.95 each). The beef and the spring roll. Loved how it wasn't dense as other empanadas that I've tried at other places. The crust was crunchy and flakey. Their housemade chimichurri sauce was quite good also. They include 2 for every 2 empanadas. If you want more, it will cost you extra. Dessert Of Choice: Got the Triple Berry Cheesecake. Thought it was very good. Cheesecake lovers will defintely love them. Lord Empanada For Thought: Would love to come back to try their beef stroganoff ($20), Choripan or Tri-tip sandwiches, or other empanadas.
We came in to Lord Empanada to redeem our deals from the SGV passport. The offer was for buy any 6 empanadas get 6 free. An insanely good deal! I was excited to finally come here and try these empanadas. The location is on a busy street and parking is very limited. The alley is tiny and fits maybe 5-6 spots at best. Location has a handful of booths for dining and complimentary water. They sell their Chimichurri in a jar for anyone interested. The staff here were amazing. So very friendly and accommodating. I appreciated the time to answer all our questions and explaining our redemptions. Since we could order a dozen total we ordered pretty much what they had to offer that day. We saved $20 in total and the dozen empanadas came in a cool pizza box which each empanada in a labeled sleeve. All sauces were inside such as the chimi and birria consume + a hot sauce. They were deliciously addicting! Each of them was so unique with flavors. You can't go wrong with any choices. Their chimichurri pairs well. I loved the crispy edges and flakiness in each bite. Lord Empanda's style of empanada is one of a kind and memorable. If I had to pick a few favorites after the one visit. I enjoyed the Birria, Beef and Pizza. We're coming back again at some point to try more. They live up to their hype and high ratings! This is a MUST TRY in the SGV! Thanks, Lord Empanada! ( ^_^)b
Chicken Pesto with mushrooms and tomato is delicious. Spicy Black bean empanadas are my usual go to but I also like to try their new seasonal ones, they are all yummy and freshly made to order. Chimichurri is so yummy and goes good on anything, I like it with their fries. Cheeseburger was cooked perfect with an egg on top, amazing. Staff is always super friendly. Truly a Gem.
Fried to order empanadas were delicious I had the traditional beef and birria. Both were good but I liked the regular beef one better. They came with chimichurri and salsa on the side and both paired well with the food. Cucumber and lime agua fresca was a nice refresher and I found out that chia seeds go really well with it. Staff was also very nice and friendly. read more

This place deserves more business fr ! tucked away on the side of a busy road, parking is pretty bad but there's plenty of free parking around the area and you can walk across the street towards. This place is sooo good! I'd definitely recommend getting their empanadas (emphasis in the name). They have a pretty good deal with buy 10 for $42 so great to split with a bigger party. Each one was so good and flavorful. the service was just as good, very friendly! I'll be dreaming of this place read more

I really like empanadas for a variety of reasons. They can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert or for a snack between meals. Lord Empanada has perfected their selection. Not only for empanadas, but they have a full breakfast menu, sandwiches, and pasta too. This was my first visit, I ordered a variety of empanadas: Pizza (pepperoni, mozzarella and marinara sauce), Soyrizo (vegan), Chicken Breast with secret sauce, and Pumpkin Cheesecake (topped with a drizzle of caramel and powdered sugar). The size is perfect, full of flavor, I don't know which I liked the best. I can see why they are so popular. I bookmarked this place for a future visit to try their Chili Verde or Grilled Chicken Club, they also have loaded Chili Verde Fries on the menu (I'm drooling just thinking of this combination). This is a nice family owned and operated business. You can dine in, take out or delivery service is available. The average price is $4 each or you can order a dozen for $48.

Had no idea about Lord Empanada until I got the invite for the recent Yelp Elite Event. But hey, I'm always in the mood for a good empanada! Ordered the beef, chicken, and birria empanadas. The dough was crispy on the outside, but flaky on the inside. Had plenty of meat inside as well. Liked them all, but I definitely liked the birria the most. Even came with a side of consome! Very good. Staff here are very friendly. Parking situation however is quite dire. I wasn't about to try and parallel park in this narrow corridor of a driveway, so I ended up parking on the street. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

First off the parking is absolutely terrible. It would be easier just to park across the street and walk. It's a small restaurant, very limited seating, Quite cozy though. Staff is very friendly, I called in my order because the empanadas are made fresh. I got two beef empanadas for the ride. Nice and crispy, I wish I tried the sauce but because it was stop and go traffic I didn't want to spll it in my car. I need to come back to try it again with the sauce and maybe some sandwiches read more

I stopped by Lord Empanada and decided to try the Alfredo empanada and no meat breakfast. It was so good and definitely exceeded my expectations. The Alfredo chicken was very good. Every bite was warm, comforting, and satisfying. The empanada itself was cooked perfectly with a nice texture on the outside and very crunchy. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. The food tasted fresh, the empanada was delicious, and I left wanting to come back and try more flavors. If you're looking for something different and flavorful, I definitely recommend giving the Alfredo chicken empanada a try. read more
Parking on-site is rather limited, but we've gotten lucky the last couple of times we've ventured here for their empanadas! Bf and my absolute favorite is their mushroom empanadas, which has huge pieces of mushrooms inside. I definitely also found a second favorite in their new chicken Alfredo empanada on this last trip there, which reminded me of a warm chicken pot pie! We also really enjoy their beef and chicken empanadas, and we adore their chimichurri dipping sauce! The staff working here are always so nice, friendly, patient and helpful. The place itself is super cute and cozy, especially with all the Christmas decors up presently. We got the empanadas to go this last visit so we can share them with friends, and I'm still incredibly impressed by how well they packaged and clearly labeled our order! Thank you! Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

The spinach is my new favorite!! We come here all the time since we live so close. My only complaint would be they're always so busy and it's hard to find somewhere to sit but other than that everyone working is always so nice and the service is great. read more

I was staying at a friend's house and they were making fajitas for dinner. I was on my way to their place, trying to figure out what I should bring. I was coming from the Santa Anita mall headed East on the 210 fwy that didn't move. While sitting in horrendous traffic, I Yelped to see if there were any empanada stores nearby. Lord and behold, there was one at the very next exit! Boom! The place was tiny and the parking lot only offered a few spots. Thankfully there was a spot for me. I went in and a lady greeted me. Ordered a dozen and waited a few minutes for them to make it fresh. It came in a pizza box, which was really cute. Each flavor I ordered (chicken, beef and soychorizo) was inserted in individual snack bags with their name stamped on it. Chimichurri and hot sauce was already in the box also so it made take out easy. Our favorite was the soychorizo. The chicken was different and not our favorite and the beef was good. All were perfectly fried and stayed crispy during our 45 minute drive to Upland. I don't recommend the flan. It was very bland. read more

Met up with a long time friend and we had a great time and good foods here! The place was easy to find and just parked on the street. We ordered a TriTip Sandwich and 4 different Empanadas to share. The Empanadas were chicken, beef, spinach & cheese, and birria. The TriTip was cooked perfectly and all the Empanadas were so tasty! My favorite Empanada so far was the birria with the consommé. We had great conversation and were not rushed. Service was good! Very clean place. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

This has been on my bookmarks for a while so when the new metro station opened up near me, I decided to try this place. It's a block away from the Monrovia station on the LA metro A line. The parking lot is small and they have a few tables inside. I decided to try a dozen empanadas, half chicken and half beef for my family and I to try. I also got their nutella banana and apple pie dulce de leche empanada desserts for myself. The wait time was not long and it was packaged securely. The pizza box that contained the dozen empanadas plus the chimichurri sauce containers was taped shut. The desserts were in a bag and it leaked a bit during the subway line back home. They gave around 5 regular chimichurri and 5 spicy sauces for the dozen. My family and I prefer the beef empanadas than the chicken which were a bit too try. The filling was seasoned nicely and they didn't skimp on the filling. The desserts were sweet and I did like the apple pie empanada, than the nutella banana. The staff is nice and the place is clean. read more

I like how many options Lord Empanada gives when it comes to their empanadas. This was our first time so we wanted to choose the most unique ones. Mushroom - pretty good vegetarian option Spinach - very good starter, Birria - ok, the dip was not flavorable Beef - classic plain good for dipping Tuna melt - one of my favorite most flavorful This was take out so we werent sure how dine-in service would be but the inside was dim small and cozy read more
I received my delivery at 3:30pm and the empanadas tasted like they were prepared during lunch time and been kept warm since then. Wrappers and filling warm, but chewy and dry. Birria - the only one I enjoyed. Saving grace was the consommé that came with it Black bean - the driest of them all Pizza - could use some tomato sauce Beef - very dry, filling didn't taste fresh I might give it another shot during peak hours. read more
You know it's great when you're driving away and you still have all of the wonderful flavors like a post meal encore! Second visit, this time dined in. Ordered two breakfast empanadas, the sausage and bacon and a couple of Birra with consommé tacos. The salsas on the side are great. The pastry was a beautiful golden brown, crisp and delicious. The two breakfast empanadas were hot and gooey in the best way. The staff is kind and there's a great vibe here. read more
One of those restaurants that once you've found it, you'll be happy to bookmark. Great service, empanadas, and chimichurri to bring the experience together. The parking lot is small, and the shop from the outside is easy to miss but there's a decent amount of tables to enjoy your empanadas hot. Tried the breakfast, birria, spicy asada, beef, chicken, and mushroom. When you can't decide you just end up with a bit of everything, but it's worth it. read more

Dude, bomb. Come try these. They have these unique flavors. 3 of us ate 2 dozen and we had to take some home but after trying the first dozen we got another 12 to try the other flavors and get the ones we liked again. My favorites were pizza, spicy black bean, beef (traditional style), and summer special tuna melt (I'm a sucker for tuna melts). The hot sauce and the chimichurri are really good too. They got some dessert ones too that I thought was fine but I like savory stuff more so I might skip them next time. The beef stroganoff was surprisingly good as well. Restaurant was a cute mom and pop vibe and clean. The staff were super friendly and answered all my questions. The parking is a little hard so keep that in mind. I'd come back for sure. read more

03/31/26 I am so shocked with the quality of savory empanadas we received. For the record, the multiple times that we've had people order for the office we've had the sweet ones & They've been excellent! Which is why I convinced my husband to get 2 dozen savory and 2 dozen sweet ones for the upcoming family gathering... because I was sure that if the dessert ones are good the savory ones should be too....... HOWEVER, in his usual fashion, my husband decided he wants to try them first before fully committing to such a large order for the upcoming Easter weekend---In hindsight, I'm glad he did cus I wouldn't have heard the end of it :D For starters, the service was indeed courteous. The ambiance of the restaurant or the lack there of, was off putting. The dining area was dark, no outside light, just very dim & no customers, looked like they were prepared to close- although, it was between 5p- 5:30p. Not sure what time they close. We did see one person walk in for a pick up order while there. One of the tables had light fixtures on top- idk, maybe they're remodeling ? I know their parking lot is getting redone... so maybe? As I was standing waiting for our small order, I can glimpse in the kitchen and it looked messy/disorganized, I could also catch a glimpse through a mirror they have in the dining area...... I noticed the young lady (who I believed pack our order) throw the empty box onto the counter before placing our "fresh" empanadas inside. Also, I think I saw her wearing only 1 glove..... anyway, When our order was ready the other girl very nicely showed us the box and showed us the sauces that go with each empanada and they looked and smelled amazing. I did mention above, that the restaurant was dim. We live 0.2 miles from this place.... We drove there and straight home. We got spinach, black bean, birria & spicy asada. We open the box under our bright natural lighted kitchen and the empanadas were not GOLDEN looking, more dark. As if the oil was old, maybe overcooked? or they were RE FRIED. Definitely not fresh and golden. The spinach-had a taste of mint not sure what's inside but description was spinach and cheese. Black bean was the only one that was ok. Birria shredded beef one was really dry even after dipping it in the "consomé" which had a strong flavor of something that we couldn't describe but def not the consomé we are used to. The spicy asada was not spicy in itself, the beef was tough & dry even with the red "salsa" or the chimichurri. we got pieces of beef cartilage or some chewy rubbery fat stuffed inside. Needless to say- I lost this battle. My husband was relieved he didn't just go with my recommendation before trying for himself. I urged him that it must just be a one off; he's not convinced. I think if I ever go back it'll be for dessert empanadas- AND I guess, ALONE. [LOL] 3 stars for service and their sweet options. read more
