    It's basically a takeout place for empanadas, with only three outdoor tables. The waiting time could be long at rush hours, each empanada costs about $5, and discounted prices if you buy half a dozen or a dozen. I've tried one of their most popular flavors, the Beef Empanada with seasoned ground beef, green olives, potatoes, bell peppers, and spices, and it was quite salty.

    Nutella and banana empanada

    Amazing empanadas quit a selection from meats to vegans I had Beef. Chili con carne and Nutella with bananas . You got to watch the last one you will bit in to a Nutella oozing out of the shell. The Chili con carne had just the right amount of spice. The restaurant is ultra clean and the service was spot on. You can eat outside or pick up to go

    Nah fam they might actually be the goat. This place actually makes better pasta than most Italian restaurants. Like it's actually al dente. Wild. The burrito is good too. Where this place shines is the empanadas. The perfect mix of crispy but soft. The stuff is reasonable, the flavors are all there. In the corner of your empanada, they actually press on the initials for what type it is so it's easy to tell later on. You've gotta clean the outdoor seating yourself, like brush off peopes crumbs and the like, but that's cool.

    Dozen empanadas

    I saw on a Yelp friend review this place and I wanted to try it. The place is small and I only saw the windows to order and pick up. So I ordered on line and when I got there my order was ready. I really recommend them. They have different flavors, they even have some sweet ones. I ordered 3 of mushrooms and two of the Garbanzo ones. I also ordered some pepperoni and some cheese. They were so warm, flaky, tasty, and delicious. The mushrooms flavor had enough stuffing and the crust very soft and flaky. Any flavor you get they are pretty good. I am just sad that I am so far away from them I don't get to taste them often. I highly recommend this place. They had couple of tables at the street to eat buy mainly this place is to pick up.

    We ordered a dozen and chose Beef, chicken pot pie, Santa Fe chicken and Chile Con Carne. Loved how it came with the sauces. I'm not a spicy person at all and the Santa Fe chicken was my favorite. Took about 10 minutes and we waited in the tables in front. I didn't realized there was an inside with tables until someone walked in. We came home and everyone practically devoured it. Only 2 left in the box!

    6 pack empanadas
    Marie Q.

    Delish empanadas. I got the 6 pack. Beef, spicy potato, biscuits and gravy, pizza flavors. The best one was the potato one. Orders are made at the window and they take a few minutes to prepare fresh. The seating is on the sidewalk so it's great for a quick snack or to just take home.

    Beef Empanada
    Ashli A.

    Cute location, friendly service, good price, good empanadas! I was driving around for a quick bite because I had 15 minutes to burn, and this came up in my Apple Maps search. There was some street parking in the front, and not too crowded. You order at the window, and the menus are directly above the order window. I asked the worker about the most popular empanadas, and he said the beef and the spinach/cheese. I went with beef and a breakfast empanada. I love how they engrave the name of the restaurant into the empanada crust (photo attached). They are cooked to order, and take about 5-8 minutes. For the beef empanada, I feel like it was pretty good! I just wish it had more flavor. It felt like something was missing. Slightly bland. I really liked the breakfast empanada. The salsa really set both off them off :) Make sure to get a side of salsa! I feel like I'd come back to try other empanadas!

    Front Entrance, Order and Pick up Window

    Had a solo brunch here while in the neighborhood. The cashier was nice and helpful but I knew what empanadas II wanted immediately after reviewing the menu. All 4 were very good, not heavy, light flaky crust. The photo and cheese was the most spicy and dense, chili con carne has great flavor, the pot pie most surprisingly good and my favorite was the santa fe. There are 3 sauces available in hot, medium and mild, I enjoyed each, mixing and matching flavors. Order and pick up at the window. There are tables and chairs in front and back with a kiosk to place your order on screen.

    I have been here a few times but somehow never wrote a review. The best empanadas in town for sure. It's always fresh, flavorful and delicious. Variety of fillings. They also sell burritos and some other items. I come for the empanadas. A quick lunch today. One with asada and one with chicken. They offer catering and boxes to go. Or you can get it a la carte. Customer service is friendly. Some outdoor seating available. Mostly people get it to go.

    DELICIOUS!! I have never had an empanada before--I know, sad. What a way to enter into this new world. Family owned and incredibly friendly, the brothers are taking the orders and working the kitchen. As a veggie, I thought empanadas were a meat thing--but the spinach empanada made me a convert. What a great place to pop by after picking up visitors from the airport or even to take home and bake for easy, delicious dinner (it's an option they offer!). This cute little place is the epitome of Burbank creativity and family friendly deliciousness. What a gem. All that, and your dog can eat with you....

    Came her on a friend's recommendation. Check in on Yelp and get a free Hibiscus tea, which turned out to be really good. Ordered the beef, chili con carne, spinach and 3 cheese, ham and cheese, and Nutella and banana. The Nutella and banana were so good, especially warm and gooey. Ham and cheese was a hit for my kid, and I loved the spinach and cheese empanada. Went well with the chinchurri sauce that came with it. To place an order, you walk up to the window and order. Then you wait for your order to be called. It wasn't too busy when I arrived around 1215. By 1240, there was a small crowd. The empanadas are made fresh, so it takes about 10 minutes, especially when there are a lot of people at once. There are 2 tables out front, and the street is kinda busy at times. Food was delicious, would come back again.

It's not your typical plain rice--it tastes like jasmine rice, and when you combine it with their sauce, mac & cheese, tenders, coleslaw, and pickles, it all just works really well together. The sandwich is also really good. The bread is soft, so it's easy to eat and doesn't feel heavy. I've ordered the Hangry Fix and the Classics 3 both times, tried mild, and medium. I think I'll stick with mild definitely has a kick. Compared to Dave's, I'd say their medium feels closer to a "hot" level. Their sauce is another highlight--way better than Raising Cane's in my opinion, and a bit closer to Dave's style but still its own thing. Price-wise, it's not bad at all, especially compared to Howlin' Ray's. I don't get to have this often since I only go when I'm in Los Angeles, but it's definitely a must every time I'm there. Give it a try.
