    This place is absolutely gorgeous. The music. The ambiance. The food and drink selection. Also, don't forget pastries. They have it all. The empanadas have a number on the crust...it's to show you what each one is when you get them served. Give this place a try. It's delicious. We got the following: Traditional: 7/10 Ham & Cheese: 8/10 Chimichurri Chicken: 10/10 Chorizo potato: 10/10 Sweets: Lemon coconut + Dulce de leche 10/10

    Traditional and chicken chimichurri

    My GF and I have been wanting to come check out the empanada club for a bit, today We had the traditional #1and the chimichurri and chicken chimichurri #5 ... they were both outstanding, although I'm a little biased towards the traditional one. The young lady at the counter was very friendly and welcoming, so the service was great ambience. It's just normal for an empanada place. The owner Nora came out and talk to us for a bit and she is very charming and warm. But the empanadas are pretty good Believe me, I know, empanadas, I have many Argentinian friends in Houston, and the dough is to die for not to mention the fillings!

    The food and services are just as good under new management. Their baked empanadas are amazing! Head on over for some fútbol, a glass of wine, and a couple empanadas.

    Pros- Beautiful interior, clean & spacious. Great Empanada choices & sweet options as well. Friendly staff. Good location & plenty of parking. Foods were packed with care. Empanadas were beautifully crafty, perfectly heated temperature & delicious. I had the Italian sausage and cheese. Good balanced flavor, not overly salty. The lemon-coconut scone was buttery & tart. Everything tasted fresh! Cons- Wine & beer prices are listed, but no food items had prices. Very odd, standing inside of the store, I needed to open their website to see the prices and hope they were still current. Owner stated to me that a lot of places don't list prices. What‽ However, they do have prices on their beer & wine. After that conversation, I enquired if the sauces on display are included with an order. I was told they were an extra charge. Then dead silence as I looked at them and said, "Do I need to ask the price on those too"? Sign out front says, "No Public Restrooms". I'm the Public. I'm a paying customer, but you don't have a restroom for me? But I did noticed a restroom. Maybe for customers only, but then the sign should say that, not none available. Verdict- Would I return? The empanadas were good & the pricing fair, but I won't be standing there pointing to each one and asking its price.

    #1 Traditional Beef Empanada

    Wow. Who would've thought that you would be able to find empanadas in Idaho that make you feel as if you're in Argentina. They were flavorful, crispy, not greasy, and all of them were stuffed full. My family is from Argentina and I would happily bring them here. The chocolate chip alfajor was an interesting twist on an alfajor and was very tasty. It also didn't seem to be too sweet. I could come here everyday. This restaurant is way better than the other empanada places in the area, and more authentic. 10/10

    Empanadas! Fresh, hot and delicious.

    Excellent customer service. Pleasant ambiance with very clean restroom. Delicious food! We tried several different empanadas (beef, chicken, potato chorizo) and liked them all, the chimichurri sauce was excellent. Ordered the chocolate chip cookie sweets but was too full to try them. We will be back.

    I'm always on the hunt for something different in the sea of sameness and driving through Meridian after visiting the Post Office, the The Empanada Club logo caught my right eye. I wasn't even sure if it was what I thought it was. When I arrived home, I quickly accessed my Yelp app to look it. Sure enough, The Empanada Club was listed and I was able to look at the pictures and check out the menu. The Empanada Club offers a variety of tasty empanadas. If you're not familiar with Empanadas, they are baked turnover stuffed with deliciousness. The Spanish verb, empanar loosely translates as ' embedded' They got that right. There's a lot of tastiness embedded in these empanadas. There are 10 different empanadas to choose from. There are the traditional meat choices ranging from Carne Picante - Spicy Braised Beef to Chimichurri Chicken. They also offer a vegetarian and vegan options Woohoo! The vegetarian option is the Portobello Mushroom with onions and cheese delightful stuffed inside the empanada. The vegan option is the Vegan curry. Fresh roasted vegetables in a coconut curry sauce. I reached out to the owners via Yelp Messaging to ask if the pasty / dough was vegan and if it stayed vegan during the baking process. Sometimes with baked breads, eggs and milk can be used. The owners quickly replied and reassured me that the dough was vegan and remained vegan throughout the process. I made my plans to stopped by at the beginning of the week and get a variety of empanadas. I entered TEC and its is bright, welcoming, and the empanadas are separated out by types and clearly labeled. Behind the counter is some amazing tile work and wine bar. There's also a nifty Empanada toaster machine. Check it out! One can order the empanadas as they are or warmed up. It doesn't take but a couple of minutes to warm them up as they travel through the toaster machine. The empanadas are a good size and reasonably priced at $3.50 each. It is possible to order dozen. Doing so saves you some ' DOUGH ' ! If you order a dozen, which is highly recommended, you may wonder how to tell which ones are which. TEC has it figured out. Each empanada flavor has its own number baked into the corner. There's no mix up a Carne Picante and a Vegan Curry. When you want to eat one at home, toaster ovens are recommended. 375 for about 7-8 minutes. My daughter used the microwave, kids these days. Arrgh! and while it was hot and tasty, the empanadas really love the heat from the oven. There are also Tartes and Mini Tartes. These are like pasty pies. They look fabulous. TEC also offers baked sweets and goodies plus dipping sauces. So make sure to check it all out. The owners are super sweet and very welcoming. Lastly. If you can't get over to their shop, you can order online at www.MyEmpanadaClub.com Have some fun without going to Buenos Aires just go to The Empanada Club!

    Nice Argentinian café and lovely ladies behind the counter. As the name of the place indicates, they specialize in one thing: empanadas, a variety of them. I tried three of them; the traditional (ground beef, hard boiled egg and olives), the Carne Picante (spicy beef) and the Chimichurri Chicken. The three were good, although the Carne Picante was too salty. I can't say it enough, the two ladies running this café are absolutely amazing, they are a large part of the experience, thank you.

    Lots of open seating

    Yes please! I felt like I was cheating on Tango's but now I'm happy to say that I'm in a polyamorous relationship with both establishments. :) This place is so awesome. I loved the set up. Clean, open and modern. Lots of fun Argentinian touches. The star of the show is the empanadas. We had so much mixing and matching the flavors. We tried the beef, chicken, chimichurri chicken and ham and cheese. Everyone (even the picky 2 year old Hurricane) enjoyed all the flavors. Next time we are ordering double so we can all have our own. I love green olives so the traditional flavors were my fave. The little people enjoyed ham and cheese and my old man wanted more of everything! We really loved that these were baked. The grease was non existent and we think they traveled really well. The queen of Yelp Boise (she's a triple black - you know who she is) says that the uncooked pockets of goodness freeze and bake up at home super well. I'm definitely going to stock up for a quick and delicious weekday dinner. Well done to this little business!

    Italian sausage Empanada and FUEGO dipping sauce! Most people like chimichurri sauce, but then again, I'm not most people!
    Brian H.

    I live this place! Empanadas are top quality and lots of variety, and the rotating tap is always interesting! When you order, don't forget the Fuego or Chimichurri dipping sauce! Don't want to eat here?? Take them home! A++ awesome!

    Friendly staff, clean facility and a good selection. Empanadas are pretty generic tasting compared to other places I've visited.

    Good Apple is what you call the definition of "your neighborhood bar," but without the feeling that…read moreif you're not a local you're not welcome (if that makes sense). We've been going here for a little over a year now and all of the staff is just so incredibly friendly. I mean I love being able to just walk in and ask "Andy what are we drinking?" And he knows exactly what hazy to get my husband and cider for me. They have a good amount of seating and when it gets a little busier they open up their event room for extra space. When it's nice out they also have outside seating. There is plenty of parking on the premise, even when it's been busy we've had no problem finding parking. They don't serve food, but you can order from uncle bobs in the same complex, pick it up and bring it over. They used to have a food truck that would park in the back but I haven't seen one in quite some time. During the week they also have events like live music, paint nights, etc. Definitely a great centrally located place in Meridian without always something good on tap!

    Came last night with a girlfriend for music trivia night and the owner decided he would scold me…read morelike a child in front of a full bar of other patrons. His statement to me was, "you're on thin ice". I was like dang what did I do? He said to me, "you hit your vape and left trash at the end of the bar, I have a picture if you want to see it". I can admit to hitting my vape in there, but I did not see anything that said, "NO vaping" and I've hit my vape in there before. The first time that he told me, I never did it again, so it's not like I continued to defy him at all! A different friend and I had came maybe two weeks earlier and ordered pizza from Uncle Bob's and ate it while we played trivia. The gentleman that I was with said he would throw away the trash when we finished and I did not even take notice to where he put it or what he did with it. If the owner would have just mentioned it to me (instead of discussing his discretions with other patrons after I left), I would've apologized (which I did) and made sure that it didn't happen again. There are too many other options with friendlier staff in the area to ever step foot in this establishment again!!! There is a way to speak to people and not be a dick!
