I'll be honest - I haven't tried their empanadas (I'm usually eating Tocabe) BUT I always stop at this location for their orange juice. They have a Zummo machine that squeezes fresh oranges and it is the best! I fell in love with the Zummo machines in Germany (I found them everywhere) but this is the only one I've seen in the US. It's well worth the stop! read more

Maria Empanada at the Denver Airport was a great find while waiting for my flight. The service was fast, efficient, and friendly, making it easy to grab a quick bite without feeling rushed. I appreciated that all of the empanadas were clearly labeled, and most varieties were available when I visited. There was plenty of seating, both at the bar and at tabletop seating areas. I also liked that they offered to wrap empanadas for travel, making it easy to take extras home. I tried the Miso Chili empanada. It was served hot and fresh. While there were a few chewy pieces, the meat was overall tender and flavorful. I also sampled the Banatella empanada. It was tasty and satisfying, although it didn't quite have the rich flavor I associate with real Nutella. Maria Empanada was a fast, convenient, and delicious airport dining option. I'd definitely stop by again for a quick and tasty treat before a flight. read more

Super cute empanada spot! It looks really clean and modern. I appreciate the Argentinian vibe here with the Maradona memorabilia. The empanadas also have names like "Argentina" and "Diego" They have a variety of empanadas including breakfast ones with eggs, potatoes, etc. I chose to try the "Diego" which has braised chicken, chimichurri sauce, peppers, and onions. It was delicious! Service was fast and friendly! Definitely a great spot to get a quick bite. read more

I had heard nothing but great reviews about Maria Empanada in the Denver International Airport from fellow flight attendants. After also seeing how many great reviews they had I decided to give them a try and they did not disappoint!!! Located near the A gates, ME is a cute, bright, super clean space staffed with friendly people! There are tons of flavor options along with sauces and sweet treats. I ended up trying the Spinach, Diego, Beef and Argentina (not all on the same day-lol!!). The spinach and cheese talked like fresh spinach- the Diego was chicken and savory, the beef was full of flavor and filling- but the stay here for me was the Argentina (a had been sold out in my first visit) it's filled with steak and veggies- with the red sauce I got to go with it, it was AMAZING!!! If you're looking for a quick bite to eat and you're in the DEN airport, DEFINITELY give Maria Empanadas a try!!! read more

Maria Empanada - Argentina and Spinach! - Empanadas Near Me - Denver, Colorado

These empanadas are the perfect airplane food! I got an egg and potato, and a bacon egg and cheese empanada. As well as one of the Alfajor cookies-- traditional flavor. Loved how the cookie was individually wrapped. And how the empanadas are stamped with the flavor. The empanada were soo good. Not greasy, and a great little handheld for on the plane. The cookie was yummy. But I probably wouldn't get it again for on the plane. When I started to eat it, it kind of was crumbling a little bit. Which was a little awkward. Not horrible, I'm just being picky. I'd get it again, if eating in the terminal, because it was delicious. But next time I'll get one of the dessert empanadas for on the plane. Thanks for providing great food at DEN. Staff was also very friendly-- and it was early. See you next time! read more

Absolutely delicious, 100% recommend! There were so many flavors that let all of us get something different that matched our taste buds. We ended up getting three for roughly $21 - Italian, mushroom, and bacon & cheese. The empanada was so well made with the perfect pastry crust that was fluffy and amazing! I ate the bacon and cheese and I can speak for all of us when I say the flavors were top notch! Not dry, but also not soggy, and just the best portions of different spices and flavors. We opted to eat them plain but there are four different sauce flavors you can dip them in. Staff was patient and checkout smooth, super easy and quick. If you're able to, highly recommend, you won't regret it! read more

10/20/25 & 10/28/25 What a great addition to DEN airport. Located next to Gate A24. Great for me connecting through here! Maria Empanada has something to accommodate almost everyone! Quick and easy. Empanadas are $6.25 each and sweet empanadas are smaller at $3.35 each. They have just the right amount of filling. I have tried the Argentina, Sierra, Chorizo & Egg, and the Mushroom and Spinach over my last couple visits on my back to back travels. They are room temp warm vs hot. I definitely prefer them hotter in temp. This lil spot is gaining traction over the week so there is a line when you first walk up but it moves pretty fast. Service is fairly quick and easy. There is seating available if you have the time to sit and enjoy them. read more

I was heading to my flight at the Denver Airport and noticed this these cute pastries. They were small enough that I could pick two before my next flight. I ordered the Chorizo, Eggs and Potatoes, and the Eggs and Potatoes empanada. They were incredibly fresh, nicely filled, and the pastry was very flaky. I wish I would have gotten the dipping hot sauce as it would have added a little bit more complexity and moisture, but they tasted great. Each Empanada was $6.25 and they also offered sweet empanadas as well. Great service! read more

I stopped in at the airport location to get something to eat before my flight. I had the Argentina and Mushroom empanadas. They were up[ very quickly which made me wonder how good they would be if they were just reheated, but there was no reason to wonder. These were delicious. Hot, crispy with just the right amount of filling. They were fairly large portions for the price which is unusual for the airport, haha. I will absolutely come back and try the others. What a great edition to DIA! read more

Delicious empanada spot in the Denver international airport! We had a 1 hour layover and there are a lot of dining options in the United Airlines terminal but the showcase of empanadas caught our eye!! Grabbed a Breakfast Egg&Potato, Diego, Chorizo, and Argentina empanada. Cortadito and cappuccino were fantastic compliments to our breakfast. Spend the $1 for extra sauce!! It's a nice taste of Argentina before we go home. read more

For dessert fans, be surprised by a simple empanada. Maria's has Nutella/banana cake filled empanada. Perfect outside empanada shell, toasted with the cake hot inside. Priced at around $3.85, Maria does not know their worth. This is a clean little black and white tile stop with a lot of seating and a staff that was unusually conscious while I was there.

Best food in the airport. Particular fan of the Corn, Chorizo+Potato+Egg and the Mushroom.

This is a great place to catch a bite between flights. The empanadas were delicious. I had a tasty wine as well.

Too good to be true, but it is. Try their salsas with the empanadas you will be ruined for life
