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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

beef empanada (interior)

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

Pizza ,  Chicken  and Soychorizo filled Empanadas
RoseMary F.

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. Sincerely, Rosemary

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!

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.

Chris C.

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

Raymond G.

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!!!

Dessert empanadas menu. Highly recommend saving eo for them!

Street parking can be tough during peak hours, but there are public lots nearby.  For the past 12 years, this has been our go-to spot, and their Guava Cake is the ultimate family favorite! This past Mother's Day, Mom wanted that exact cake. We stopped by in the morning to pick one up as usual. However, the lady at the counter informed us they would not have any ready until 2 PM and was quite dismissive and short with us. I was next in line, it was now the second person at the counter helping me, ( male ) once he knew I was looking for a guava cake, he immediately went to the back going out of his way to check and ensure we took a fresh guava cake home right then and there. He saved Mother's Day !!! I must also mention Danny and Lissette are amazing every time we order cakes for family events. It's always a great experience, and we'll definitely keep coming back for their goodies.

I ordered the chocolate ganache cake for Mother's Day based on the chocolate ganache cake I ordered…read morea few years ago from them for my Grandmother's Birthday. Something clearly changed between then and now because the version I ordered on Saturday was horrible. The cake was mostly dark chocolate, as described, but it had the thinnest layer of raspberry to the point where it was hardly noticeable - which is the main reason we ordered the cake (chocolatey but a fair amount of raspberry for a palatable contrast). The way the cake is made, it's hardly edible. The layer that is supposed to be chocolate cream is clearly just chocolate frosting! I've never had something so inedible. Plus the cake has non-edible decorations on it unbeknownst to us....on sight we assumed they were edible sugar crystals but they were not! Someone could've gotten hurt! We should've at least been forewarned! Lastly, we were scheduled to pick the cake up on Saturday afternoon at a specific time. And of course they were busy due to Mother's Day weekend but we stood in line for at least 15 minutes and received no help! The woman behind the register was counting out both registers without offering an explanation or speaking to any of the customers! Plus there were at least 5 employees standing around doing nothing! No one ever asked if anyone in line were here to just pick up a prepaid order. You don't need the register for that! We finally inquired what was going on and stated we had an appointment to pick up a prepaid order. A young woman employee caught an attitude but hustled our order which hadn't been boxed or bagged though it was past our pickup time. Very disappointed in Merengue. Not one employee offered an apology or an explanation. Just attitude and nonchalance. I work in retail and know how hard and frustrating it can be but this is a service industry and customer service is very important. I'm not asking for anyone to jump through hoops just respect as a customer. The terrible part is my mother was the one waiting patiently in line for 15 minutes and I had to jump in to ask the staff about their service because my mom and these other ladies were being ignored by Merengue's staff as though they weren't standing there. I DID NOT appreciate the treatment of my mother or myself once I spoke up about the crazy wait. No one treats my mom like she's just part of the furniture especially after we've spent money at this establishment. They certainly weren't giving anything away. My mom and the other ladies were being patient and nice. But I had to get to work and the cake was supposed to be picked up and out the door at 2pm....it was 230! It should've been waiting for us and the staff should've been inquiring with the line about prepaid orders. Instead there were 5 people standing behind the counter doing nothing while a line of people are wondering what's going on! I will not be ordering from Merengue again and will be taking my business down the street to the Paris Baguette Bakery where I should've gone in the first place.

It is good. It is the same price at the beef version but understandly so. The chicken meat was grilled tenderly, and the slice of ham it came with added the saltynesss the sandwich needed. Simple but effective. Also chilies adds great flavor too. You can ask for it on the side to adjust spiciness to your preference. Capicollo, one of the cold sandwich, was fine but nothing to write home about. Atlas or wings ($11.99/lb) here remind me of the ones I used to get when I was younger... I like how the spicy version is still deed fried and not saucy. (Personally prefer dry rubs.) The heat can creep up to u after a few.

The ube cookie was absolutely divine, moist, chewy & not too sweet, so darn scrumptious. And it's a mouthful, what intrigued me, the Tamarind Kalamansi black Sesame roll was no slouch, Jeff warmed it up & it took it to 'nother level. Love this spot. Friendly, welcoming & the goods speak for themselves. Great place to grub & meet, just chill. Located inside Blossom Market in Sam Gabriel, a communal dining hall offering, multicultural foods from different vendors. Outdoor & indoor dining available, free parking. Great for solo ding or groups, fun & cool vibes. Music playing overhead. The second floor is great for quiet times & art displays.

Baking with Ish knocked me out! (I'm literally so full and sleepy) I got the Pistachio Kalamansi,…read moreSpam Egg and Cheese Pandesal, and an Ube Cookie around 12 PM on a Friday, which totaled to about $28. The cashier and owner were friendly and seemed a little nervous, but I think they can be successful here. The Pandesal was an extremely rich sandwich with a cheesy, garlicky egg and two spams. It was delicious but so heavy and so rich. I wouldn't recommend this if you have a busy day ahead because this was so much to consume. The Kalamansi, on the other hand, was perfect. The pastry was heated up, so when I opened the box up in my car, the warm, nutty scent wafted out and filled the space. My husband and I love this pastry and will definitely be getting it for others as well.
