Stop what you're doing and run to Maya Empanada and pick up a chili relleno empanada and a mango sorbet to drink. So delicious!

Get the Almond and the mushroom empanadas!! The chaya is delicious as well! They are all SO GOOD! Service was speedy and the shop is quaint and cute. Perfect treat after a long day of hiking or a nice pocket size treat for the top of the mountain. We got a whole box and had a picnic on the CSU mall. Wish I could go back every week, but sadly i live in AZ. read more

What a delightful find! We had been to the previous location the last time I was in Fort Collins. We split 3 savory & one sweet. One of the savories was mushroom and cheese, another was the weekend special the name of which escapes me now but had pork and a black bean sauce. It was amazing! We got the caramel apple empanada and the flavor was good but the crust was so flaky it was really hard to eat and kind of overshadowed the filling. We ate at the little counter overlooking the parking lot which isn't much but was fine. The nice gent behind the counter was very polite and helped us choose which ones we wanted to get! read more

The best empanada in Northern Colorado. The sauces and empanadas and delish and fresh! The flavors are incredible and service friendly. I miss their old space to sit and people watch. The space is hot and cramped and not really an eat-in unless in a pinch. More of a take-out space now. read more

It was very quiet upon walking in as there weren't many customers, but the man behind the counter greeted me and was very personable and made many great suggestions for me to try. The Chaya empanada was amazing and so was the weekend special (a pork birría for this weekend). Definitely deserves more customers because it was great! Lots of juice selections at the front including horchata and hibiscus agua fresca. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite with kids after swimming. We were unprepared for how delicious this place is. The staff were both friendly and helpful in selecting a variety of empanadas. We'll be back! read more

They have a huge selection of empanadas. Everything from vegetarian or carne filled & sweet delicious delights. The empanadas are made fresh each day with real ingredients and paired with special sauces. My favorite is the Blackberry, Lavender sweet empanada. It is so smooth, just the right amount of sweetness with the mellow flavor of blackberries and lavender. They will become your addiction. read more

Hidden gem in FoCo! Try the pink sauce, it is amazing! The kale one is the best, we didn't expect it to be so delicious with just veg. Very cute location, with friendly staff. 1/2 off after 8pm! read more

Food: We had the Mushroom and Steak Empanadas; both were EXTREMELY hot and delicious! Then for dessert we split a cherry empanada--also hot and delicious! My drink was a Mango Sorbet smoothie...I've never had one, but woo! was it tasty. All in all, the food was great, and the young man that took our order was telling us--at my request-- the history of the decorations in the shop. read more

Our only problem with this place is that we couldn't stop eating them! The crust is so tasty they could literally serve them empty and they would still be delicious! We had chicken, pork, chocolate espresso, lemon curd, coconut, chocolate raspberry. I'd still be there ordering more if my wife didn't drag me out if their modest store front. But don't let the look of the place deter you! read more

I so look forward to coming here every time I'm in Fort Collins! My favorite empanada is the Ham & Cheese. They're tasty, well made, super cheesy, always fresh and super aesthetic. This time I got the hame and cheese (duh), kale, and the special chili relleno. My phone did not eat first, but I got a few pics of the kale. Service is always quick. Angel knows his stuff and can answer any questions and gives great recommendations. Thanks!! read more

Holy moly! Great food great service! The gravy chicken empanada is really really good. Very flavorful and moist. The Chimole Chicken is really good too! The sauce for the empanada is real good. You can use the green sauce for any of the savory empanadas. You killed it with the beignet strawberry empanada! It is one of the best sweet tasting empanadas I've ever ever had! read more

I have been in love with this place since 2020, it's a must-stop for me every time I'm in Fort Collins. Recent highlights for me include: the mozzarella, the pork, the espresso creme, the jalapeno 'burger' special one; but they're all so good that you have to switch up what you get each time! And I think the Campus West location is a much better fit than when they were east of campus. Our last time there, the man behind the counter was so nice. 10/10 read more

Maya Empanada - The front door with the weekend specials sign, taken 12/9/24 - Empanadas Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Finding My Empanadas can be confusing but it's 100% worth it once you get there! We went there today for the first time because I saw on Facebook that they had a Cuitlacoche (corn mushroom) special and I've always wanted to try Cuitlacoche. Unfortunately, they were sold out but we still got some delicious food! My spouse got the Cochinita Pibil (Mayan red pork) with pink habanero sauce. I got the mushroom with hot tomato sauce. Neither sauce was too hot for me on the empanadas (I am a spice wimp) which surprised me. And we got a peach empanada to share. They kindly offered to warm them up for us. I also got a horchata (not pictured) and my spouse got a bottled Coke. It was SO good! Excellent car food, too. We definitely hope to go back soon. read more

Have been eyeing this place. So many empanadas so little time Got couple savory ones the beef and chi mole Chicken it comes with little sauce. It's half cook so anyone can bake it at home which I did, I also have one almond empanadas - almost like dessert. The pastry crust are sooo good. All three comes like 17 dollars and change including tax. Not bad ! read more

This was our first time picking up food here and the gentleman at the counter walked us through the choices. We got some to eat, some to freeze, a mix of savory and sweet. Really delicious food. We could have easily polished them all off, but they really catch up to you about a half hour later, so consider using restraint. Definitely will be back. read more

I visited My Empanadas on a whim in January 2022 while in town for a wedding. You might notice that I am writing this review seven months after my first and only visit to My Empanadas. That is because I remember this spectacular food vividly. I dream of these empanadas. I am writing this review because I just checked the website yet again to see if there is an option to ship to Ohio. Unfortunately there is not. If you are lucky enough to be near this restaurant, please stop in and eat a few empanadas for me. You won't regret it. Everything is amazing, but I wake up salivating when I dream of those salted toffee empanadas. What a disaster that I am living over a thousand miles away. If anyone who works at My Empanadas is willing to ship some for me, let me know. I'll pay. read more

Wow! My Empanadas blew expectations out of the water. I highly recommend! It was my first time stopping into My Empanadas and definitely will not be my last. The girl working there was so inviting and very patient with us as we looked at all the offerings. While we were deciding, our mouths were watering as the smell of fresh empanadas filled the air. We ended up getting 10 different flavors to-go. Once you hit 10 empanadas there is a small discount! The empanadas were VERY nicely packaged. Came with instructions on how to heat them at home (or freeze them). The sauces were also all labeled so you knew exactly which sauce went with each empanada. The empanadas themselves were also marked in the dough which was which. After about 10 minutes in the oven, they came out perfect! Two empanadas easily filled up my very hungry stomach. There is a generous portion of filling in each empanada. However, we also got some dessert ones so I squeezed in 1/2 of a dessert empanada too. The Chimole Chicken and Steak flavors were our favorite of the savory flavors and we enjoyed the chocolate custard one most from the sweet selection. With that said, there weren't any flavors that we didn't enjoy! The downside was it wasn't the easiest to find, but well worth driving back around to get to. Plenty of parking in the lot. read more

First time buying any empanadas from here. Didn't realize after eating a half of one of the sweet empanadas, I realize both of our pastries were raw on the inside. Being 22 weeks pregnant, doesn't sit well with me eating a raw pastry. The flavors were not bad, I just don't feel great eating raw dough. read more

Excellent food and fast service. Small place, so good for take out. My family loves this unique place and cuisine. Highly recommend it.

Wow wow WOW! This place is incredible! We usually drive to Denver for empanadas but since discovering this little piece of heaven in Fort Collins, we're on cloud nine! The steak, pork birria, and mushroom were so delicious. The chef pairs a sauce with each variety and they all were a perfect complement to the fillings. The dough is tender, flaky, and super buttery. They make both savory and sweet empanadas. Don't skip dessert here! We took a peach and a pumpkin empanada to go and traded wows in the car as we devoured them in minutes. Highly recommend trying this Fort Collins gem. Wow! read more

SO DAMN GOOD!! I got a steak, chicken, ham and cheese, and an espresso chocolate and they were all delicious. The man at the counter was informative and kind. Took 8 minutes for them to cook them up:) read more

If you're craving empanadas, don't look further. This is the place to be. The empanadas are hand-crafted in awesome flavors. They're fresh and served piping hot. The sauces are to die for, and they've already paired it for you. They have some delectable sweet empanadas as well. The staff are the friendliest ever. I was going to get a Horchata, and he offered me a sample to make sure I like it before I paid for a full glass. The service was amazing. Pro-Tip: There's parking in the back of the apartment building for customers. There's around 5 spots. read more

The empanadas were good, a little different than the traditional ones I've had. But they were fresh, hot and hit the spot.

I've been to this nice little place twice now and have sampled a fair number of savory and sweet empanadas. Very tasty, especially the pork and chicken chimole. Make sure to use the pink dipping sauce! Their horchata drink is very good, too. read more

They are now only at the elizabeth location. They are consistent and their sauces are very good.

I can't say enough good things about My Empanadas. I live in Denver but would come to visit my best friend and we'd order empanadas for delivery frequently. The online ordering is easy to use. We've now been to the store front and love the vibe and the available outdoor tables. The pink habanero onion sauce is delish (and pretty) but could use a bit more spice. In fact, all of the sauces could use a little more kick - personal preference though. Also, get half baked empanadas to go. You won't regret it! They bake up well at home too! Pro Tip: if you're driving to the store front, you actually need to turn into the parking for the condos/apartments. They have a couple of reserved spots in the back for the restaurant. read more

This is a great addition to the Fort Collins food scene! If you know what empanadas are, you will be pleased with what this restaurant has to offer (the shells are crisp and delicious), they have a variety of flavors (mostly savory with some sweet), and the dipping sauces that go with each empanada are spot on. If you don't know what empanadas are... don't look any further, you should head to this sunny, casual eatery. Only complaint is about the parking scene--we parked in the large (and poorly maintained) parking lot just East and had a quick 2 minute walk over. Not ideal, but not terrible. Anywho, we loved this place and can't wait to come back! read more

I saw My Empanadas driving down Prospect and had to try it. We got the party platter so we could try all the empanadas, which was enough for two meals for our family of 3. Absolutely delicious! The empanadas are generously stuffed, and the meat is seasoned nicely - flavorful but not spicy. They come labeled with a letter on each to tell them apart. The piquillo sauce was far and away our favorite, but the Hatch green salsa paired well with chicken empanadas. They announce weekly specials via email and just started offering limited runs of Mayan tamales. We can't wait to order again and try some!
