Empanada Factory…read more What a great little find! Empanada Factory is a family-owned and operated business, and that warmth really comes through in the atmosphere, the food, and the service. I first visited the location at 9320 W. Flamingo with a couple of friends. The moment I walked in, something about the place made me feel like I was back in DR. The cafe is beautiful, colorful, and has such a warm Latin feel to it that I immediately felt comfortable and welcomed. And then, of course, there are the empanadas! They have so many different varieties, beef, chicken, shrimp, egg, and many others. The three of us each ordered one and then got an extra one so we could share and try another flavor. I was surprised by how filling they are! One empanada can definitely satisfy you, and everything we tried was very tasty. They also have other Latin bites, including yuca and a potato ball filled with meat, along with pastries, sweets, cold drinks, iced coffee, and hot coffee. It's a great place to sit with friends, have a bite and a coffee, and try something a little different. The young ladies working there were also very friendly and added to the pleasant experience. I enjoyed it so much that the very next day, on my way to a doctor's appointment, I thought of Empanada Factory when I wanted to bring something for the staff at the office. This time I called their Town Square location, which was more convenient for me, and ordered a dozen assorted empanadas, two of each variety. They were a hit! Everyone at the doctor's office loved them and commented on how delicious and surprisingly filling they were. It turned out to be the perfect thing to bring and share. So whether you're looking for somewhere different to meet friends for a casual bite, want an empanada with a refreshing iced coffee or a pastry, or need something delicious to bring to an office, business, gathering, or someone you simply want to treat, Empanada Factory is a great choice. Great food, a beautiful atmosphere, friendly service, and plenty of variety. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Stopped here for the first time for an easy lunch and it was excellent! I tried a variety of the…read moreempanadas, and my favorite was the spicy beef. The empanadas are generously stuffed with your filling of choice and all were super flavorful. If I had to pick a least favorite, I would say it was the "pizza" as there was not enough tomato sauce. You can order the empanadas baked or fried. I got all of mine baked. The pastry/dough part of the empanada is great. It's not too bready and it is light, flaky, and crackly. I just wish there was some way to tell which empanada has what filling without having to cut them open, as they all look the same in the box. The restaurant is super clean and nicely decorated. Staff is very friendly and everything is made fresh to order! I will be back to try their pizzas and different empanada fillings!

We also tried the Cuban Steak and Fried Pork Chunk dishes with rice, beans, maduros, and tostones. Everything was wonderfully prepared and tasted delicious and I normally do not like beans. I have officially found my new Cuban spot and will definitely be returning.

YourPanadas has some tasty empanadas. I just found out about them at The Great American Foodie Fest…read morethis past weekend. Both the beef and spicy beef empanadas were delicious. The pastry was perfectly crispy and full of the meat filling. Their French fries had a tasty seasoning on top. The sweet plantains were really good with a nice crispy texture on the outside.

PARRILLADA MARTIN FIERRO (5/5): I like the variety of meats you get in this entree. It's more than enough to feed 2 people - maybe even 3! It comes with 2 sides of your choice to which I opted for yellow rice and mashed potatoes. Everything tasted really good and for the price, I think it's well worth the price. I'll have to come back to try their empanadas since I heard they're popular for those too!

I opted for the Vegan empanada--impossible meat, onions, peppers, green olives, gluten free corn dough. The sauce I opted for was chimichurri. For dessert I got the S'mores--Ghiradelli chocolate, marshmallow fluff, graham cracker crumbs. Both were prepared quickly. I enjoyed the them both. The vegan was flavorful and I acrually didn't need so much of the sauce. I loved the crispness of the outer shell and the flavors complemented one another. For the dessert, I also enjoyed the chocolatey goodness and the fluff. I also think they outdid themselves on these flavors. If I come across them again, I'd definitely want to try the other savory empanadas. Well done!

Empanadas 702 makes delicious empanadas! You'll find them at the Boulevard Mall inside El Mercado…read moreFood Court, next to 702 Churros. Inside has plenty of seating with TVs and good music. Menu is simple offering a small selection of savory empanadas for beef, stewed chicken, ham & cheese, vegetarian, mozzarella & oregano, and spinach. They even have sandwiches, fries, salad, and sweet treats too. I ordered Humita Empanada ($3.75), which is sweet corn, it's good and tasty! Empanada is baked crispy, very light and soft, inside has kernel corn with melted cheese, finely chopped onions, and red pepper, served with yummy chimichurri sauce. I tried Mini Sweet Empanaditas (3 pieces, $5) and chose Guava Paste & Cream Cheese, amazingly delicious! It has a lovely sweetness, exterior is delicate and crispy, airy and fluffy with yummy guava paste and cream cheese, so good! It's nice they come in threes. Other empanaditas flavor include quince paste, dulce de leche, and sweet potato. Service from Denisse is welcoming, courteous, and friendly! I like the mini empanaditas, they're a good bite-size, very light snack, and a terrific treat!

Decided to get the bowls which included, rice, protein and a side.. of course we got the Puerto Rican rice, roast pork and fried pork, and plantains. I wanted tostones, but unfortunately it was not available and then I found out the sad news after I asked if they didn't have plantains. I was told that the owner planned to close up shop on Sunday Sept 21. How sad! Decided to then order rellenos papa's and some.mofongo, as I would not get another chance unless I go daily the next 4 days. Everything was good as I remembered. I'm hoping the owner will be able to find another space. It's a cute little dining area. Lots of takeout orders and more diners came in for later lunch, I wonder if they know the place eas closing.

If I lived in Vegas, I would go here every day for dinner! This place is hands down the best…read more Puerto Rican food I've had. Even my Puerto Rican. Bestie says so. I always pop into this restaurant to eat when I'm in town, and I always seem to order the same thing... I ordered the pernil, which is roasted pork, arroz con gandules, potato salad, and trifongo. The roasted pork was so tender and delicious. I got some of the dark meat pieces, which are my favorite. The trifongo definitely wins the taste test. Trifongo is a Puerto. Rican dish made with green and sweet plantains and mashed together with pieces of fried pork and Chicharrón. My food was so delicious and yummy. I had to leave some of it on my plate, so I wouldn't go into a food coma. As always, the service there is on point and friendly. The host and server does not miss an opportunity to make sure to check up on you and provide water, or whatever beverage you're drinking. They're very sweet and run a pretty efficient shop. The cooks really I did themselves this time! The restaurant is always cleaned... The wait staff is always on top of cleaning the tables, and making sure everything is orderly. The bathroom is also clean. The restaurant has an open kitchen concept, so you can see the cooks in the back, preparing the dishes, including mashing up the plantains to make the trifongo. If you are in town, you must try this place. I recommend the roasted pork and the fried chicken. Of course, if you're looking for something on the smaller side, you can try the trifongo. Be patient though, if they are particularly busy, you may have to wait, and they may be out of some things. Over the years, I've learned to ask what they ran out of. Enjoy!
