    I happen to see the sign as I was driving by and of course I had to stop for empanada! It's in a business Center. It isn't very obvious where it is. They are either moving or expanding into Temecula. I just love a place that has pictures of Messi and the Argentinian flag everywhere! It must be authentic. Problem is the staff didn't know if the coffee is from there. She knew the cold brew was though. I tried it and it had a very weird after taste. My teen loved it though. My teen also loved the pepperoni empanada and the chicken empanada. I had the spinach empanada. It was crispy on the outside. I love that it was made fresh right there.

    Found this little gem when looking for fun foodie places in the area- my son loves empanadas so it was a must try during our day out. We got the 6 pack, mix and match, and the spicy and regular chimichurri sauces. Our favorite was the chicken and spicy cheese, after that it was the ham and cheese and pepperoni- we didn't particularly care for the beef, but that is probably personal preference, and the chicken was a clear front runner for us. The flavors were great, everything was fresh and we enjoyed trying them. They also have frozen ones to take home and bake, which I thought was super cool. Service was good- she was patient and friendly, and everything came out quickly. The place itself is very small, with limited seating and one group of 4 took up both tables for some reason, but thankfully there were a few seats at the window left. We enjoyed it and would definitely go back.

    Good food for good price. $15=2 Empenadas, soda can, chimichanga sauce, and chocolate-mint gelato dessert. Not too shabby Super clean shop. Two tables inside to eat w a long window table for singles. Table outside. Clean bathroom. Plenty of parking. Near courthouse, airport, and Winchester. The empenadas themselves were tasty.

    The place is small but ideal for takeout, DoorDash, etc. For eating in they have a few small tables to eat at and the place is very clean. Before I start out with my review my family is from New Mexico and was brought up making Empanadas for the holidays. I had no idea that everyone makes their dough differently. I now that everyone fills them with their own family recipes but I assumed the dough would be the same. That being said I was really not a fan of them. I was brought up with a sweeter dough and more filling. But on the other hand my husband who was brought up in California absolutely loved them.

    Great tasting empanadas, I had chicken, beef, bbq pork all were super flavorful. The chimichurri sauces were also very good, I had the med heat and spicy heat. The dough was also very good on the empanadas. The girl at the front with colored hair was super friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is clean and kept up, I highly recommend this spot and I can't wait to go back and try some of the sweet empanadas.

    I was driving by and saw an "Empanada" sign. I thought that was weird being that this area is basically an Industrial Park. Stopped by to check it out and got the 3 empanadas for $13.25, 1 beef, 1 cheese & jalapeno, and 1 chicken (which I had asked if it was white or dark meat and the guy said it was white meat). Beef empanada: Nice and beefy w a hint of olive taste. Chicken empanada: This was just ok. I don't think this was white meat though bc it had that chicken thigh "taste" I don't care for, but if you don't care what part of chicken it is, you might appreciate this. Cheese & jalapeno: I liked this one the best out of the three that I got. The cheese blend was delicious with a tiny hint of heat (wish it was a lot hotter). Spicy chimichurri: Herby and tangy, helped elevate the empanadas. This wasn't spicy at all for me (I have a very high tolerance for heat). Guy at the counter was super nice. The inside was very clean. They even have Argentine pantry goods you can buy. The empanadas are good and I appreciate that there's another empanada spot around here.

    I nearly drove by this place since it's located in a business center. This place has been on my bookmarks for a while but they're closed on Sundays and I usually try to go on that day. I did get 1 dozen of empanada ($51) for my family and I to try during our vacation. I chose 6 chicken and 6 beef, and with buying a dozen they give 2 free empanadas so I chose a pepperoni and a bbq pork each to try. It came with four containers of regular and spicy chimichurri salsa to eat them with. There was no wait and they packaged my order quickly. The pepperoni, bbq pork, and the chicken were my favorites. My family liked the beef more. All the empanadas were seasoned nicely and were filled completely. They have a few tables to sit, along with several Argentinian coffee and items to sell. The staff was nice and the place was clean.

    Surprised to discover an Empanada Shop in Murrieta and decided to give it a try for the night's dinner. Hoping to indulge in some tasty empanadas, with a salad, and a glass of sangria. Upon arrival I immediately noticed the establishment was well devoted to Argentina with Messi jerseys and photos; flags; various Argentina dried goods; and a Futbol match on the television. The staff were extremely friendly and customer service oriented. Purchased the six pack option with one additional empanada for free; Selecting two Spinach, two Chicken, one Beef, one Mushroom, and a Pineapple as the freebie. Visually the empanadas were very appetizing, but feel tragically short on construction and taste due to the thin crust and the fillings that appeared to be processed meats. The evening fell short of my expectations due to the mediocre empanadas provided and the house prepared chimichurri sauce was sour and tasted like pickle juice. At approximately $5.00 per empanada I would expect far better quality, and not factory produced frozen food quality.

    I was looking for a restaurant I hadn't been to before that had a good deal on filet mignon, and I…read morecame across Cambalache. I visited with a few friends to have dinner. Their cuisine is a mix of Argentine and Italian. The restaurant is located at the end of a strip mall with plenty of parking available. Seating options include the patio in front which has heat lamps, a small bar area, and tables in the main dining room. You can make a reservation either on their website or by calling them on the phone. Our server greeted us promptly and brought out a generous serving of warm, fresh bread which was delicious. We ordered a few beef empanadas ($4 each) and a side of chimichurri ($2.50). They came out hot and were very flavorful. We also ordered the Scampi al Vino Bianco appetizer. The five jumbo shrimp were large, and the white wine garlic sauce was good. There was no question about what I was having for my entrée, the Medallon de Lomo, a grilled 10 ounce filet mignon (only $43!). It may not look like 10 ounces in the picture, but it is a thick cut, and was grilled to a perfect medium rare plus as requested. The steak was flavorful on its own, but it comes with its own side of chimichurri sauce which I love on steak. The vegetables were good and seemed fresh, not frozen. This was definitely the best deal I've come across for a 10 ounce filet mignon and a side. One of my friends had the Parrillada Mixta ($68) which is a large serving of various meats including skirt steak, flap meat, short rib, Argentine sausage, blood sausage, and sweetbread. It's served on a big cast iron platter with a flame underneath to keep it hot. It's an entrée for two, but he ate most of it on his own, although we did give him a little help. He said he would pass on the sweetbread next time, and substitute one of the sausages for more meat (extra charge). It also came with a large serving of roasted potatoes. Another friend had the Paella Mixta ($32). It was a good size with a mix of clams, mussels, calamari, shrimp, vegetables, and rice. Our server Fred was very friendly and took great care of us. Their menu is large, I would definitely return to try other items or have another filet mignon. The only negative is that they close somewhat early at 8pm on Sunday and Tuesday through Thursday, so plan accordingly.

We parked in the lot and came for an early dinner at 5PM on a Wednesday so did not have to wait. The restaurant got busier as the time got closer to 6PM. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal, truly stellar. Many servers were bilingual in English and Spanish. There were also a few foods and goods for sale. The interior of the restaurant is reminiscent of a wooden house/cabin. As for the food, the complimentary hot bread is very tasty, and we enjoyed the Ensalata Argentina also. We ordered the Parillada Mixta for two (comes with side choice of fries, roasted potatoes, salad, or sauteed vegetables and we chose vegetables), as well as the Risotto Don Juan de Marco. The parillada came with a substantial amount of meat kept warm on a grill, accompanied by a chimichurri. The short rib meat was a bit tough but still tasty. I felt like the risotto was good but not outstanding. We finished with a creme brulee for dessert and someone also ordered a coffee (cortadito). The meal was solid though came out to $150 after tax and tip.

I've had Furnos on my own before, but never got around to writing a review this time, they absolutely deserve one. I ordered the pizza sampler with Margherita, onion, and pepperoni, along with both the cheese and meat empanadas. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The crust had a great texture, the toppings were generous without being overwhelming, and each slice had its own distinct flavor. The empanadas were a standout perfectly baked with delicious, well-seasoned fillings. Safe to say Furnos will definitely be part of our regular office rotation from now on. Consistent, delicious, and perfect for a group lunch. Highly recommend!

I saw their pizzas which got my attention, but when I visited, I opted for one of their Argentinian (sausage or choripan) sandwiches and an empanada. I thought both were very tasty and the bleu cheese empanada I got was interesting. Never had one with bleu cheese before - at least from what I can remember. The bread on the sandwich was great! Not sure if they bake it in house, but it had a nice slight crunch and chew. Just note that this place operates as Furnos and Guido Deli & Pizza. As I understand it, the old name is still up as a homage to the previous owner who served the community for a long time. The space itself is pretty chill. It's pretty tiny, so I believe most of their business is take out. There are a few small tables outside if you want to eat there though. I really enjoy small, family operating businesses like this and will continue and try to support these type of businesses as much as possible. Also, just a great spot to get some quick eats at a more than reasonable price. Definitely want to explore more of the menu and for sure want to try their pizza soon.

I have…read moretried chimichurri sauces from Whole Foods and Trader Joe's but they aren't really very authentic. A friend recommended seeing what El Gaucho might have, so I visited the next day. The market is easy to spot with a big street sign out front. There are only two parking spots in front, one is a handicapped space. There's plenty of parking around the back though. When you walk in, you will see the main market with lots of items and brands I've never seen before. Slightly to the right is their deli counter with lots of meats, cheeses, and other miscellaneous items. To the right of the entrance is a dining area, and another counter where you can order sandwiches, empanadas, pizza, French fries, and drinks. I was laser focused on getting the chimichurri and leaving since I was short on time. It is in plastic bottles in plain view on on top of the deli counter. I purchased the regular variety, but they also have a spicy version. I could already tell this was going to be way better than the other two sauces I tried. I've had it on a steak, and on my breakfast scrambled eggs, and it's in a whole different league from the grocery versions I tried. It looks just like a restaurant chimichurri, oil based with lots of herbs and spices. I just had a nice filet mignon with chimichurri at a good Argentinan restaurant last week, and this chimichurri is about 90% as good. I moved it from the plastic bottle it comes in to a glass jar which will hopefully help preserve it longer, and store it in the refrigerator. I now have no reason to look elsewhere for chimichurri. My friend visits here periodically and says the sandwiches are excellent. I'll have to return again to try one, get more chimichurri, and explore the market and deli to see what other goodies they have.

Never had a Milanese sandwich, so no idea what to expect. To me the sandwich lacked a little flavor so used the sauce from the empanada on it.

Not sure i would go out of my way to eat here but if I crave empanadas I would get the beef again.
