I went with the Chicken Little, mostly because the description sounded like comfort food...chicken breast, potato, carrots, peas, and sweet onion in a golden crust. It sounded like a chicken pot pie you could eat with one hand. It's one of the milder options on the menu, so it's a pretty safe pick. It's halal and dairy-free which is what drew me in since I haven't had real dairy in 10+ years. Overall great spot!

The parking lot is on the smaller side, but there's plenty of street parking nearby. There are a few tables to sit at inside, but it also works really well for takeout. I've tried a few flavors and, in my opinion, there are no bad ones. My personal favorite is the chili chicken because it's flavorful and actually spicy, not just a hint of it. I would also recommend the Philly and chicken pesto for more obvious/predictable flavor profiles. Their horchata is good too; it's very creamy, and the cinnamon flavor is strong. I've had it on its own and as part of the latte, and would recommend both!

Their rotating vegetarian option is also vegan. I think the week I went was a miss, it was bean and something crunchy. Missing flavor, but the salsa really helped it. Everyone who got a meat option said it was really good. They loved everything that they got. Next time I would better check their vegan option, but it is nice that they always have one ready for you. Service Came here on a Thursday mid-day and needed to grab food for a customer. The woman working was so sweet and happy to assist with me getting nearly two dozen empanadas and giving a nice variety. She labeled each one and gave me salsas and napkins. Ambiance A hole in the wall for sure. There is nowhere for you to sit, but these are portable little triangles so easy to walk down 18th or Columbia. On a nice day I would take these to the park.

Unfortunately my experience this time was not as good as the last…read more Placed an online order and headed to the store about 20 minutes afterwards, and was informed my order was still not ready. I thought 20 minutes would've been enough time to make my order since it was not very much food and it wasn't too busy in the restaurant, but I stepped out and came back to pick up my food about 10 minutes later. I was honestly unimpressed with the food I received. The cheesesteak empanada was not very cheesesteak-esque. It had cubes of steak, lots of roasted peppers, and a small amount of cheese. As someone that doesn't like peppers at all, I was a bit surprised to see them in there since there is no description of the fillings. I also grabbed a corn flour empanada with shredded chicken and potato filling. I loved the flavor of the corn flour much better than their regular empanadas, but there are so few options for fillings with the corn flour!! Also, I found a hair baked into the crust of the empanada. I just picked it off and ate the empanada anyway, but it was a little gross. Finally, I grabbed some tostones, which were pretty over salted. There was a solid amount of them though! I couldn't finish all of the tostones they gave me. Not sure if this experience was a one-off mistake, but I was definitely a little disappointed.

Argentine empanadas are a favorite and this shop makes plenty! I ordered chicken, chicken cilantro, ground beef and steak & I ordered Chimichurri & Garlic Sauces on the side. The empanadas were hot when they arrived and there were two of us for lunch. These empanadas are cocktail sized empanadas - really between a normal sized pie and one you would serve as an hor d'oeuvre. Generally, Argentine empanadas are filled with carne cortada a cuchillo (hand-cut, not ground beef), combined with onions, hard-boiled eggs, paprika, cumin, and olives. The flavor is not wimpy! And all of that is in a delicious crust that is baked. Fried was not an option. The crust is flakey and warm and improves with a sauce. The pie crust was the star! Of the four ordered, the two beef empanadas were the best. Lots of flavor, but no onions, egg, olives or enough spices, etc. The chicken were disappointing. Not enough flavor. Very pedestrian. There is talent in this kitchen, as the fillings lack the flavor one usually finds in authentic Argentine empanadas, but the crusts were exceptionally good! Value: The price for one empanada is $5 - for a very small empanada. About 1/2 the size of a traditional Argentine Empanada. If Empanadisimas works on the filling - these could be terrific. Right now, not so much. Also, sauces come with all empanadas, but the website does not mention that - so if you order delivery don't order additional sauces. They are included. Sides: . Popular sides in Argentina traditionally include a simple salad, yuca fries, or arroz con gandules. I would have liked a nice side salad - maybe tomato - to accompany these pies. The savory sides at Empanadisimas are lacking. An avocado salad would have been welcomed. We passed on ordering desserts because they were all very expensive. I wish this place well, because if they tweak a few things (fillings & pricing), it could be a good product. When they update their website and work on reasonable pricing, I will give it a try again, but for now - I am staying away! And we are still hungry - on our way to get lunch!
