    The Bacon and egg empanada with Chimchuri was fire!!! The Carne Asada not bad, Pepperoni and Cheese reminded me of a hot pocket and the chicken well i wasnt happy with that one seemed to soggy for my taste. There are many more fillings i think 19 in total, but for 4 I was already at $22.00 before tax so i stopped my taste testing...A bit pricey for my taste when it comes to empanadas but hey to habe a space at the he Americana probably isn't cheap. The staff were friendly and they get you in and out pretty fast. Overall tastes but pricey!!!

    The empanadas in the display looked so mouth wateringly good, that we had to stop by and try it! Seemed to be pretty popular - we picked up a few different flavors to try: chicken alfredo, philly cheesesteak, samosa veggie & mac n cheese!

    We stopped by the Americana for some Christmas festivities and started off our journey with some Nonna's Empanadas. You can't miss it, because there's proabably a line for it and you'll see the glass display of all of their empanadas. They have both sweet and savory ones which is great because most of the time, I want a savory empanada. Around 5pm on a Saturday evening, they still had a majority of flavors left. We got the Samosa Beef and the Chicken Mushroom & Cheese and both were great. The empanadas were loaded with filling which was nice because some of the emapanads i've tried were mostly dough. My favorite was the Chicken, Mushroom and Cheese. The only downside is that it's quite expensive for $5.44 a piece.

    Get the beef and jalapeño empanadas! And get a whole lot of them. Nonna's has all kinds of other flavors but the beef and jalapeño are easily the best. They make a super easy and super tasty lunch on the go.

    I had high expectations with this place. I ordered a variety of empanadas and wished I only bought one. They were all dry and salty beyond belief. I granted. I only ordered the savory ones. I'm not sure how their sweet empanadas are. They may be great. I also wished the lady working was a bit nicer to patrons. She was short with the group ahead of me and I was under the impression I was taking up her time as well.

    Saw the stand while walking in to Din tai Fung and made a note to come back. Asked when they closed and she said 8pm. Came back after dinner and ordered 5 empanadas. Disappointed that they ran out of chicken and mushroom but got the spinach and cheese, chicken, beef, carne asada and Cuban. Was ready quickly and costs like $35. Brought them home for me and my hubby. Ate the Cuban the next day, hubby had the carne asada. Very yummy. Had the spinach the next day and enjoyed that one as well. Hubby tried it the third day but it wasn't very good by then. Still, good place for empanadas, just don't wait too long to eat!

    Chicken salsa verde = OK. Good flavor. But dry beyond belief. Shouldn't chicken have some moisture? Chicken = gross. Like someone else said.. skip the regular chicken. The seasoning/flavor is just not good. At least this one was a little more moist.. (a little).. but it just didn't taste good. Over $11 for two empanadas. I'm not sure how much they SHOULD cost elsewhere, so I won't hold that against them. Maybe I just ordered wrong? I have had Nonna's from Ubatuba Acai (mid-city) before. They were just DRY from this location. Note: I visited just after 11:00 a.m. on a Sunday. 2023: 8/100

    Look, I'm not the authority on empanadas by any stretch of the imagination. I rarely if ever have them but I've had Nonna's twice lately - once from Ubatuba Studio City and most recently at their little outpost at the Americana. These are absolutely scrumptious!!! They have SO many options, sweet and savory and while I'm most always a sweet person vs savory - I adore the mushroom option here. It is soooo good! I highly recommend Nonna's empananadas. The more I think about it the more I think these are the perfect item to bring to a pot luck or gathering. I'd say they are more or less single serve and you'd need to cut them to share but bringing a dozen or two if needed would be so nice. Perfect little snack to pick up while shopping in the area. Service was great.

    Nice Building!!

    Great service!!! The empanadas are actually really delicious and very yummy too!!! I definitely will be coming back over there again in Glendale, California when I get the chance to!!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!!! Much love and support forever!!!! Five stars!!!

    Busted open empanadas
    Cheven L.

    Not only is this level of empanada dry on the edges and partially flavorless on the Carnitas. But the gentleman that is here on June 6, 2024 at 5:30 PM is literally smoking his vape and has it on work surface areas as well as painting and eating food right in the window. And then when we order our empanadas, he doesn't even put on gloves. Nor did he even wash his hands. And I had to ask him why he had a vape on a work surface area in a kitchen where food is being served as well as paints, and he didn't wash his hands before handling my empanadas that we pay so much for. Then he hands us empanadas that are broken and busted open. We are up for two combos at the price that is posted. I hope that the management reads this and reaches out to me. All we will bring in the health department and show videos and proof of what is happening over at this property at Americana in Glendale. Wake up!! You are serving people food. Take your personal life out of the establishment.

    Philly cheesesteak and Chicken alfredo. // Philly cheesesteak was bomb.com

    Got the chicken alfredo & philly cheesesteak. Chicken alfredo was dry & disappointing. Philly cheesesteak is a winner. It was phenomenal. You're welcome.

    I wish I would have taken a pic of the inside of each, but I was starving and my 5 yr old niece ate all of the mushroom one. haha! Empanadas are filled completely which is nice. No room for air like you might find in some. The mushroom one was our favorite. I ordered the jalapeno beef and it was good but really oily. The guava empanada was a nice ending but definitely a whole lot of guava. I wished it tasted more like a guava cheese roll from Portos. Def one of the better empanadas I've had and a great snack while shopping or waiting for your table at DTF haha.

    Beyond veggie empanada, Samosa Veggie Empanada, chik'n Salsa Verde Chicken Empanada, Dulce de Leche Empanada
    Jeff T.

    Really nice for a quick bite around the corner! The variety of empanadas is amazing. Though I love meat, I also love to try vegetarian dishes as comparisons, I must say how the Beyond veggie empanada almost taste like beef! The other vegetarian empanadas are good but don't taste as meaty. Best to end the meal was the dulce de leche empanada. It wasn't too sweet. It was creamy enough to melt in your mouth every bite! Though seats are limited, the convenience of grab and go is great! I would come back again to try the rest of the empanadas!

It's not just a butcher shop, it's a mini Argentinian embassy for my taste buds. Walk in for a quick fix and walk out with enough freshly made empanadas and high quality meat to feed a small village. The selection is fantast and the staff is very friendly. ​The real danger of this small little shop, is the dry goods section. I can't just "shop" there. I have to gaze at their wall of snacks like a culinary historian. Seeing all those Argentine brands and dry goods triggers a massive wave of nostalgia for all the goodies my family would bring back in overstuffed suitcases every time they visited Argentina. I inevitably find myself surrendering to some alfajores. ​The main reason I drove here was for the sandwiches de miga. The ham and cheese is our household "fix," and I'm pretty sure my family would trade me for a fresh stack of them if given the opportunity. I always make sure to grab a few empanadas to go too. I left happy, fully stocked, and already planning the next haul.

    I finally had the pleasure of trying World of Empanadas and I'm honestly so impressed…read more First of all, their horchata... SO good. Like genuinely one of the best horchata I've ever had, it was super creamy and flavorful but not overly sweet. I tried one of their desserts being their banana and Nutella empanada along with other savory empanadas. Everything was amazing. The Nutella + banana one was definitely a standout for me because they did not hold back at all. It was packed with chocolate and banana in every bite, which I loved because I'm a huge chocolate person. It didn't feel skimpy or dry at all, just super rich and satisfying! For the savory options, I tried the chile con carne, Santa Fe chicken, the breakfast, and the beef & potato. Every single one was delicious, seriously you cannot go wrong with any of them. BUT my favorite was for sure the Santa Fe chicken!! It had so much flavor and tasted really well-seasoned. You can tell everything is made with care. Their green chimichurri needs its own praise. I've tried a fair amount of chimichurris from different restaurants and grocery stores, but this one!!! This one is done perfectly. I can't describe the flavor to you, you just have to try it haha. It goes so well with any of the empanadas! Also, the empanadas came out HOT. Like actually steaming when I opened them, which made them that more enjoyable. Everything tasted really fresh. On top of that, the service was so sweet. The girls working there were really kind and welcoming, which just made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back because I'm already craving that horchata and Nutella banana empanada again!! Thank you so much for having me :)

Really enjoyed the first experience and so when I saw the truck again today after an early morning walk in Descanso Gardens, I stopped again to get their empanadas. This visit confirmed my initial impression which was/is that the empanadas from La Puna are "fantastic"!! I ordered four empanadas, the corn and spinach, as well as their chicken. Also ordered one called the Arabe. All four were superb!! The corn empanada was a combination of sweet, salty, and creamy. This was the result of using good quality corn and a combination of both cream and either jack or cotija cheese. The spinach empanada was equally delicious. It had a unique taste profile prompted by the really smart use of a hint of nutmeg. The combination of spinach and the nutmeg, along with whatever they included, have the final product a "wow" factor. Chicken empanada was slightly smokey and very flavorful, and the "Arabe" was a wonderful combination of ground beef, onion, red bell peppers, with spices that offered a distinctly Moroccan taste. Really outstanding. The thing that tied all these different empanadas together was the dough they use to make them. It was firm while still light and flaky with a mouth feel that was soft but not mushy. It was the perfect compliment to the filling. Like eating a really,really good pie where the filling and the crust are harmonious. The food offered by La Puna Empanadas reflects attention to detail, the use of really good product, and most importantly pride in their Argentinian culture and it's food. If you enjoy empanadas or are curious about them, I encourage you to try those offered by La Puna for all the reasons I've outlined here. One final note, the women who own and run the truck are very nice people whose passion for what they do is evident in every bite of their food. !!!
