Ordered a pack of empanadas for pickup today. The chicken empanadas didn't have much flavor as before, but I did enjoy the apple empanada which was still warm when I ate it at home. My husband enjoyed the Mexican chocolate one. There was a variety of empanadas in the glass display case. I could see workers behind the glass partition preparing them. Store has a few chairs out front for dining. Might be worth another try.

These were so good!!! I love all the options. I wish the spinach had more cheese. But all the other wows were so good!!!!!!!!!!!!

*I came in here 3 different times before updating my review. * Service has improved so much!! I just went yesterday and now they have three people working. The young girl in the front was very welcoming and friendly. There's always a crowd because that's just how good the empanadas are. I always get the potato empanadas and potato and lentil. They are 10/10 They do have variety which I love, because sometimes I just don't want meat but there's birria, chicken, and picadillo. I will definitely keep coming back!!

The Empanadas are scrumptious! In Dec. of 2024, we got a 12 Pack of Empanadas for $55.80 plus tax. You save 10¢ per each when you buy them by the dozen or a 6-pack. Hubby picked them up and brought them home for us to eat together. Our son & his wife liked them, too! I do wish the stamping on the Empanadas were consistently legible. It was difficult to determine what some of them were. There were 12 flavors which include 10 Savory and 2 Sweet ones. These are the ones we got: *Chicken Ancho Cheese *Bean & Cheese *Birria Beef *Chicken Chipotle *Picadillo Beef & Cheese *Lentil & Potato (Vegan) *Potato Rajas Cheese *Ham & Cheese *Chorizo & Potato *Apple Pie Churro *Mexican Chocolate Goodness Unfortunately they were out of the Spinach & Cheese, so I didn't get to try that one. I don't care too much for Chorizo, but hubby likes it, so he got an extra one to substitute the twelfth flavor. I sampled seven of the empanadas. The bread surrounding each savory empanada has a nice chew with a little crunchiness around the crimped edges. So good! Each empanada is full of flavor and so tasty! They have a Cilantro Sauce and a Salsa Roja to accompany your empanadas. If you join their rewards program, you will earn 1 point for every dollar spent. And when you sign up, you'll earn 25 bonus points! There are also other incentives posted on their website. We need get some more soon! I still want to try the Spinach & Cheese Empanada. It sounds so good, the spinach cooked with garlic & butter!

I wasn't planning on going in today, but this sign right in my path changed my mind.

I am so excited that this place is open again to go in and order to eat or to order big and take home! I've been wanting to come back in here for a while, but I had moved to a different town and usually don't come by here when they're open. But today, although I wasn't planning on coming in, I saw their sign on the sidewalk I said that's it I must! There are so many choices of flavor combos. It's really tough to decide. But since I tend to eat more vegan now, the choice was easy and I went with the potato lentil (with additional red sauce). I did also choose a churro apple empanada For both of them, the chunks of filling are so satisfying and distinct that you can taste the individual items but at the same time, the flavors blend together so well. I love the empanada shell too - it is thin, but flaky and holds together perfectly! No tears or leaks! If I would've stuck with one, it would be the perfect amount to hold me over to my next meal, but since I both it was a satisfying meal! I probably could have even eaten two entrée empanadas. It was such a beautiful day. I sat right outside the restaurant. Since it was a Sunday there wasn't that much road or people traffic, so it was a nice break!

Absolutely loved this place! I was in the area for an appointment and the empanada shop caught my eye due to its distinct red store front coloring. Once I realized it was a sole empanada shop, I was super thrilled since I loveeee empanadas lol. When I walked in, I was greeted by a staff member and could see the number of empanadas they offered. You have the option of either ordering your empanada with a cashier or at the kiosk located inside the store. The staff member I spoke to was great and due to the restaurant having so many options, I asked which one he would recommend. I ended up ordering the Birria Beef empanada and it was hands down delicious. Inside of the empanada, the chucks of beef inside were delicious and flavorful. The empanada itself is a pretty good size as well and the chimichurri sauce gave it the perfect additional flavor boost. I definitely plan on coming back to try more options!

Been passing by this place. The server was nice and pleasant. Bought a dozen variety flavor. Definitely enjoyed the Birria. But the spinach, bean, potato and even the apple empanadas were not worth it. It said it had cheese but it didn't have it. Unlikely coming back. No picture of the rest of the empanada as the kids took a bite and threw away

You might expect a traditional South American spot when you hear "The empanada shop," but this place is so cute it instantly puts you in a good mood. You order from a kiosk, and each empanada is around $4-5 -- but honestly, one is never enough. The fillings and sauces are so good that you'll swear you're stopping at two... and somehow end up eating three. Adorable place, delicious food, and guaranteed good vibes.

Tucked away and a great find. All the empanadas were delicious. Favorite was bean and cheese. Loved them so much took a six-pack home to the bay area Travels well and definitely get extra dipping sauces.

Was there a different location across the street years ago? Anywaaayyy I've been meaning to stop in because I love empanadas and tried many shops in the area. You can order at a kiosk or with the associate, who was friendly and offered recommendations. He said the birria was the most popular so I got that, pork chorizo potato, and spinach cheese. They were all SO FLAVORFUL! I wish I got more lol. So I guess that means I have to come back for these flavors and try the others too. Pro tip - sign up for rewards!

A great little local spot for Mexican food! The only downside is the parking lot, which is tiny and…read morefits maybe 5-6 cars. We ended up parking on the street around the corner, but it wasn't a big deal. I ordered the chicken and steak fajitas plate, while my husband went with the 3 birria tacos plate and added a chicken taco on the side. Both plates came with rice and beans. Complimentary chips and salsa were brought to our table right away, and all our food arrived just a few minutes later. Talk about quick service! My fajitas were very flavorful, and my husband enjoyed his birria tacos. He did mention that his chicken taco was a bit dry. We both agreed that the beans were better than the rice. The portions were generous enough that I couldn't finish my plate and had to take the leftovers home. One thing to know is that they don't offer complimentary cups of water, so you'll need to purchase bottled water instead. Overall, we had a nice dinner and enjoyed trying this neighborhood spot. Many reviewers rave about their burritos, so that's definitely what I'll be ordering on my next visit.

Me and my good friend came in on a Monday because I wanted some elote! It happened to be happy hour…read moreso why not! The food is so good! The chips and salsa, the elote, the ceviche were spectacular! The salsas are so tasty! The elote hit the spot! And the ceviche was a large portion which was perfect to share! The tacos were very good! One thing I would change is their tortilla, but the carne asada was tender and well flavored! The fish taco could've used some crema. The service here is some of the best I've experienced. As someone in hospitality, Arturo deserves all the flowers! So kind and friendly! On point! The space has a nice outdoor patio that has covering for shade. We will definitely come back!

Second time back within two months. Pictures aren't the best…read more What an incredible local find. The food is spot on, the margaritas are delicious and flowing, and the service is top-notch. While the ambiance isn't over-the-top, it's clean, comfortable, and inviting definitely grab a table on the patio if you can. Parking: They have a dedicated lot on-site. It's a bit tight, but having dedicated parking is still a huge plus. To Start: They kick off the meal with complimentary chips paired with three distinct salsas: a rich red salsa with a good kick, a bright salsa verde, and a fresh pico de gallo. Every single one was full of flavor. The Main Course: Veracruz Fish: Hands down the star of the night. The white fish was cooked to absolute perfection and paired seamlessly with sautéed vegetables, rice, and beans. A must-order, Chicken Enchiladas: Exceptionally flavorful with well-seasoned, juicy chicken. A special shoutout goes to the rice and beans--they easily hold their own as standalone stars on the plate. Chile Relleno: Well-prepared and tasty. While it wasn't my personal favorite of the night, it's a solid choice if you love traditional rellenos. Shrimp Cocktail: Generously portioned with plenty of fresh shrimp and avocado, though the sauce base wasn't quite to my personal taste. All in all, Maderos is a true gem delivering vibrant, authentic Mexican cuisine. We will definitely be back!
