I've been wanting empanadas for some time now and saw the reviews on this place as i was driving around the area. This is a very small hidden little restaurant at the corner of a strip center, so make sure you keep your eyes out! I had a craving for wings, so I had to go ahead and order their 6 piece wings with one chicken empanada and 1 beef empanada. Took no more than 15 minutes, and everything was cooked fresh. The only negative thing for me is that since I grew up mexican, I am very used to spices and spicy food. When taking my 1st bite, it was hot and crispy. Crisp to perfection! However, there wasn't a lot of flavor in their sauce in meat. (Again, I'm used to spicy) Their habanero wings were okay too and were actually surprisingly spicy, just not much flavor. I would definitely go back and try some other dishes.. They make everything fresh and recommend ordering their platter to try a little of everything. read more

A wonderful experience for authentic empanadas! I got 5 chicken and 5 beef. The beef has a sweeter flavor to it, they are wonderfully crisp and delicious. The chicken ones were amazing as well, packed with flavor. Their cilantro cream sauce is chefs kissed inspired! I wish they were open on Sundays as I was wishing to go before Super Bowl, but they deserve a break for all their hard work for these delicious little master pieces! Can't recommend them enough. My friends and I constantly crave them and will be back! read more

Their $2 empanada sign caught my eye as we were driving down 1960 and I had to make a stop. The empanadas are huge and come in chicken, cheese, pork, and beef. They were all good but my favorites are the cheese and pork. The cilantro green sauce pairs well with them. The wings are decent (6 for $5) but watch out for the hot bc that habanero has some serious heat! Sweet plantains were solid as well and we really liked the meaty fried pork that came w the delicious garlic oil! The owner was very nice both times I've been and the restaurant was clean if you opt for dining in. Overall this place is serving affordable, unique food and we'll definitely be back again to support this local restaurant! read more

5 star alert!!!!! Wow this is a really good spot! Everything was amazing! Food: empanadas were simply amazing. I got the cheese, chicken and beef. My favorites were the cheese and beef. The beef are good as well too. The habanero hot wings were very tasty too. The ranch is really good too. The cheese empanadas have so much flavor. I say try every one of them just so you can get the taste from all of them. Also, the fried pork was simply amazing! Full of flavor and very tasty. All of the sauces that came along with the meal are so good as well. The are extremely nice and doing such a great job at his hidden gem on 1960. The manager is super nice and very personable. I will definitely visit this spot again! If you are in the area I highly suggest you give them a shot. You will not be disappointed. read more

If you like empanadas, this is the place to go. We love them and their sauces are so good that accompany the empanadas. I like the MDA sauce. My daughter loves the cilantro cream sauce. My favorite are the chicken empanadas. My daughter's are the chicken and cheese empanadas. She also loves the pineapple ones for dessert. The red beans and rice are really good. We would highly recommend it, but would suggest you order ahead as it can take a little while for the order to be ready. read more

I really like the Empanadas I've had at Austin's food trucks , so after driving by this tiny location, we decided to give it a try. We ordered the Mix platter. $25 with tax. It's a lot of food but all of it, except for the 4 empanadas, was inedible and thrown away. Even the empanadas were dry, over cooked and without flavor, but we ate them anyway. We waited 42 minutes for our order in the small front area which had a leak that was causing the ceiling to collapse. For this excessive wait, we were given a coupon for one free empanada ($2.75 value). I seriously doubt we'll return. read more

They come with a delicious green sauce like Churraacos uses on their salads. These were a steal - $24 for a dozen - can't even find bad frozen ones for that price.

Followed a Google recommendation for this place, nearby & sounded good.... The place is small and sparse, menu is pretty straightforward, worker behind the counter was nice & helpful, I expected the food out a little faster since it's 'to-go' but it wasn't too long, good prices & portions, didn't skimp on filling, wasn't prepared for the sweetness of the meats but it balanced well with the spicy sauce (to me cuz I'm a wimp), beef & chicken were way better than the pork...

Definitely worth the five star rating they have so far. You have a choice between beef, pork, chicken, cheese, veggie, and pineapple empanada. Service was quick and I felt that they were priced well for a good sized empanada. On weekends they have a 12 for $20 deal that allows you to choose up to five options. We tried 4 (beef, chicken, pork, and pineapple). Its hard to say which I liked most but it was nice to close out the meal with the pineapple empanada as dessert. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended. read more

Almost passed this place but the $2 empanada sign caught my eye. When I pulled over (yes, they have a parking lot) I went inside and it was very clean. There were plenty of tables to sit and it had a "cool" vibe to the whole place. The empanadas are made fresh and aren't just sitting in a warm case. I ordered the chicken and a beef. It took less than 10 minutes to make. The staff was very friendly. They were some of the best, if not best empanadas I've ever had. The filling was delicious on both and you can see the individual ingredients, it wasn't just a meat paste. Both were tasty, but the beef is my favorite. It comes with a huge cup of cilantro green sauce which just elevates the already delicious taste of the empanadas. They're available on most food delivery services, so will be ordering again.. read more

OMG, 1st the prices are cheap and the portions are great. The fried yucca was cut thin so they were nice and crunchy on the outside.

I love to eat at El Bolillo Bakery. It all started because my boyfriend really loves their conchas,…read moreso he was the one who introduced me to the place. I've always liked bakeries, but I try to eat on the healthier side, so I usually avoid anything that might tempt me.But I am a sucker for cinnamon rolls, so when I saw they had them, of course I had to try one and they are so, so good. Now we actually go there about once every two weeks because we love it that much and I look forward to opening the front doors and smelling the sweet smell of baked goods Recently we also found out that they have cheese & sausage kolaches, and oh my gosh, they are delicious. They are really, really good and were such a nice surprise when we tried them. The location closest to us is the one on Airline Drive, and we usually go in the afternoon so we can avoid the after-work crowd. That time of day works really well for us because there aren't too many people, which makes it easier to grab bread and look around without feeling rushed. The ordering process is pretty quick and simple. You grab your metal tray and tongs, open each little door, pick what you want, and put it on the tray. When you're ready, you go to the register where the ladies count the breads, ring everything up, and bag it nicely for you. We're usually in and out pretty fast, which we really like. We love going to El Bolillo, and at this point it has definitely become a staple for us. We honestly can't get enough of it.

Always the freshest Mexican bread. Options for everyone and reasonably priced. You won't break the…read morebank like your typical trendy bakery/pastry place. Grab a tray and tongs and load up. It can get busy but people move through quickly. I'm a sucker for the conchas and definitely ate one in the car on the way home.

Cute little spot in League city! Almost easy to miss but look for the little white building,…read moreparking is limited but loop right in. Love that drive thru is an option as well! Went for the first time with a group of 7 and got a table on the back patio. There's plenty of seating on the inside, the front, back and bar patio! Tried both savory and sweet options and was not disappointed! Also enjoyed the selection of specialty lattes. The staff was super attentive and friendly! We felt welcomed even though we were a larger group. Even with it being a walk up to order spot, they still came to check on us constantly and helped clear our items and bring stuff out in a timely manner. Can't wait to come back and try more! Top favorite was the original and the guava empanada! MUST ORDER!

The customer service is always awesome. I appreciate the…read morehospitality every time. The empanadas are very well filled with meats they're not stingy at all! Always fresh to order

This Argentinian grill and market has been on my radar to stop by for the past few months…read more It is easily located in Spring Branch off Hammerly and Gessner. We came for the specialty market to buy some items from Argentina. This place was packed with every table taken and several people waiting on a Sunday at 3pm so it must be really good. We saw homemade alfores which I absolutely love and they even had the crackers we love at their small market. With pictures of Argentina and Messi on their walls you tell the warm friendly atmosphere although busy. Will definitely return for lunch or dinner after reading the Yelp reviews. This place looks legit !!

Oh.my.goodness. I LOVE THIS PLACE!…read more To be honest, we discovered it by accident since we were in an area about 30 minutes from our home. Needless to say, those 30 minutes are worth it and I've already been twice! There is free parking which is always a plus. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you are in Latin America. The decor is pretty neat and they sell traditional Argentinian candy, snacks and chocolates. We tried the Argentinian empanadas (because of course we had to) as well as the choripán and they were good but my favorite by far was the Chinchulines (small intestine a.k.a. chitterlings). Yum! Service has been great both times. If you are interested in having an alcoholic drink, call ahead of time to inquire as you are able to bring a bottle of wine but there is a corkage fee. I will DEFINITELY be back!
