Bussin! 10/10 recommend. Wait was a little long for empanadas but u get quality food!

It was my first time in Burbank and I was in the area. I saw everybody recommending this place on reddit so I thought I had to try. It was an amazing experience. I love seeing the people come and go trying the empanadas. They are really quick and they even have their own app to order if you want to be ahead. They have a large variety of empanadas and I love the sauces that they have to accompany it. Such a warm and comforting food. There is only outside seating but they are really well kept. read more

We've passed by this place so many times and finally decided to stop by. We ordered the spicy potato, pepperoni, and the spinach and cheese and wow they are delicious! They're so fresh and they come with a good amount of filling. We will definitely be back for more! Also the employee who helped us was very friendly and offered us suggestions to try. read more

World Empanadas - Pepperoni empanada - Latin American Near Me - Burbank, California

With flakey crust and almost sinful aromas, this place was a lucky find on an otherwise peaceful weekend. The combo I ordered came with a mojito lemonade that left me feeling refreshed with every sip. Ive very much discovered a new delight in each bite and will be eager to return soon. read more

Driving back to LA from Sequoia and needed a lunch break. Stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon. PARKING - street parking. So be prepared for some parallel parking Restaurant front is street-side. You order from the street side and have the option to walk around the order to the back patio. That is what we ended up doing because we had our dog. FOOD - empanadas were yummy! The options were unique and I was hungry, so wanted to order one of each (but obviously didn't). Because each of our empanadas were different, I wish they somehow differentiated each one. We ended up taking a bite of each to figure out which is which and how to distribute. Also for the side, I'd go with the tortilla soup (although it was hot), over the side salad. Side salad was just salad mix with a vinaigrette. Their sauces were pretty good too. They offer salsa, salsa verde, chimichurri. It's also nice that they offer vegetarian and vegan options. PRICE - a little on the pricey side. A la carte per empanada is like $4.40 each. Combo of 2 empanadas, side, and drink is $12. SERVICE - the workers here are all very friendly and helpful. Made sure to tell us to ask questions if we had any, good vibes from each of them, and when bringing to the back patio to give our food, was conversational with us and our dog. AMBIANCE - Seemed like they had a decent line of people who were ordering or waiting to pick up a curbside order. Their back patio came in clutch since we wanted to eat outside our car since we were in the middle of a road trip. Overall, if I see myself again in the area, I'd be back to try the other empanada options. read more

When this first began, you were able to walk in and get your empanadas quickly. It's evolved with a new menu of burritos, samosas, and vegetarian options. Love the new menu but don't like that everyone hangs out front. They should just get a new venue since they have evolved and people love them! I also remember when you could get two empanadas and a drink for under $10. I really wish they would get a bigger venue so we could sit and eat our empanadas warm. I don't like outside seating with the cars passing by. Happy for their success just don't like the prices. $50.00 for a dozen. $5 each plus tax. Food is great! read more

Quick lunch at World Empanadas. Huge fan of empanadas so had to stop by for lunch. I had driven by numerous times pondering. I found the empanadas filled very nicely. Based on reviews from Google and Yelp and selected the biscuits and gravy and Santa Fe chicken empanadas. Both were excellent choices! Seating was not ideal but there is some in the back patio. Overall a place worth revisiting. read more

The service was terrible. I waited over 25 minutes for a small cup of pasta, insane, and the employees attitude was rude. When I asked how long it would take, and she rolled her eyes at me and then proceeded to slam the window after read more

They have vegan and vegetarian options so that's a plus! They only have a pick-up window so it is all to go orders. I have passed by here so many times, but I finally tried it out. Creamy corn was HOTT when I bit into it, but so good. I enjoyed the chicken one as well. I had the spinach/feta and I think I was thinking of this filling in a dessert form when there's more feta than spinach so when I bit into it I was surprised. All of it was piping hot and fresh. I would absolutely come back again. read more

I've been coming here since 2015, back when the empanadas were always excellent. Now it is just gambling whether I will get a good empanada or not. Yesterday I ordered 6, 2 of which were fresh perfect empanadas, and 4 were stale from the day before, or something was wrong with them. In the past couple years every time I have ordered it's been a gamble, sometimes receiving good empanadas, sometimes stale, and sometimes a mix of the two types. If the quality was consistent I would eat here regularly but I don't want to gamble anymore. The good empanadas are flaky and soft, but the stale ones the dough is rock hard and the filling tastes old. If the consistency issue was solved, I would rate 5 stars and eat here, but I won't pay nearly 40 dollars for 6 empanadas to get 2 great ones, and 4 inedible ones. read more

The service from the male cashier was unfriendly but his female partner today was so kind and pleasant that it made up for his lack of customer service. Love the food. read more

TLDR: we like the empanadas, but the service is lacking. It's not the first time our order was incorrect, so we won't be back for a while. A few weeks ago, we had a poor experience and there was little effort to make it right. I emailed the following: " We're frustrated with our experience today. My wife placed order 3893573 at 1:59p and the order was ready when I arrived to pickup at 2:20 (older man at the window). However, when I get back home we realize 3 out of 4 empanadas were incorrect, and I return to the restaurant to explain the situation. A young woman doesn't say much other than "ok I'll remake them" before closing the window. She finally hands me the order at 2:48p. I didn't expect much, but perhaps an appology? Or perhaps she could have offered the incorrect order she threw away? We spent nearly an hour waiting for our food, so we likely won't be coming back for a while (we're been coming since the restaurant was on Victory)" I received the following response: "Thank you for reaching out and for taking the time to share your recent experience with us. I'm very sorry to hear about the issues with your order and the service you received, it's certainly not the level of care or attention we aim to provide, especially to long-time customers like you and your wife. It's frustrating enough to receive an incorrect order, and we understand how disappointing it must have been to return to the restaurant only to feel that your concerns weren't properly acknowledged or addressed. A simple apology or a more thoughtful response would have gone a long way, and I apologize that you didn't receive that courtesy. We truly appreciate your continued support since the days on Victory, and it's disheartening to hear that this experience may keep you from returning. Please know we take feedback like this seriously, and we're addressing this with our team to ensure better communication and service moving forward. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention, and I hope we can restore your trust in us." read more

The empanadas are delicious, a great size and value. Crispy on the outside and nice and warm on the inside. They have many options from meat to vegetarian and vegan. The personnel was very friendly providing us with plenty of condiments. The outside area was comfortable to eat at, in front of the street but most people take their empanadas to go. read more

Really good empanadas. I got the meal deal they have with 2 empanadas + a side + a drink it all came out to about $15. The service is ok it's a walk up window and they have some outside seating available. I got the southwest chicken empanada and a spicy potato both were delicious. I just got a simple side salad but my friend got the lentil soup and it looked really yummy. I'd recommend checking this spot out if you want some food empanadas and they have a good variety with even vegan and vegetarian options. read more

Great empanadas, the service was quick and ambience was nice. Solid spot to check out!

World Empanadas serves up hand sized empanadas that are nicely filled with meat and wrapped well in a toasted yet tender empanada. You order at the window and will need to wait about 8 minutes or so. There are two tables outside if you're looking for some seating. The chile con carne had a flavorful, moist meat alongside some beans. While prices have increased over years to $5 each it's still a good amount of quality food that's filling for the price. read more

The patio section at World Empanadas in burbank is very limited only 3 tables which has customers taking your seat when you get up to get your meal at the window someone will rudely take you seat without even asking you. This world Empanadas attracts just low class and No class types of customers that have zero manners Multiple customers are talking on their cell phones with the cell phone speaker turned on which is extremely loud in the patio section its a horrible atmosphere to be getting your lunch The Empanadas were subpar and I would never go back to this World Empanadas in burbank Have fun eating your lunch in the patio section listening to multiple customers talking loudly with their cell phones speakers turned on at world empanadas in burbank read more

We were very excited to try these empanadas. I love the thoughtful variety of flavors like savory meat and Vegan as well as dessert options. The service is great and you can tell they care about their food. My issue is with the dough to filling ratio. I found too much breading which made each empanada heavier than I'm used to in my empanadas. Bonus is if you're in a hurry to feel full, their empanadas will do the trick. I don't like feeling heavy after. I also found the dough for the dessert empanada very heavy and not sweet. A big carbo with sweetness experience. The presentation of the food is charming however. read more

Great place to eat at, service is prompt and food comes out quickly. Everything is made in house from scratch. A must try

The absolute best. Made fresh. Comes out hot and ready. May have a bit of a wait time due to it being made to order.

Second time here but this place is second to none. Good food, service, and a sidewalk seat right on glorious Magnolia Blvd. we love it! Been back a few more times and still love it. The owner's a nice guy, too. read more

Their flavorful empanadas are the best I've ever had. I love the addicting Spinach and cheese and the Mushroom and cashew Cheese--both are rich, savory, and absolutely satisfying. Oh, and the hibiscus drink--super refreshing. If you desire dessert, please get the mango empanada..You must support this small restaurant, which has been open for over 13 years and 10 years at this particular location. I am obsessed!!!!! read more

Definitely recommend it. I liked the meat the best. Chicken isn't what I'm used to as I make the best chicken empanadas... lol. But seriously go and try them read more

Got a 6 pack of take home empanadas. Got zero sauce nor did I get offered any. It was my first time so didn't realize till I got home that I was missing something while eating them. They were ok. With sauce I'm sure they would have been better. Chicken pot pie doesn't taste like traditional chicken pit pie. It's ok. Crust is flakey though. read more

I love their spinach and cheese empanadas, I will say the vegetarians empanadas were not as good , yet I love that they had almond cheese, the dough texture was like puff pastry to me, I like better the Argentinian dough. But is a good place for to go orders, the staff is friendly I will suggest to order online or you will b standing waiting. read more

Bought 3 flavors out of curiosity. The beef, mushroom & cream has a tang to it that doesn't agree to my liking. Nothing unique about the ham & cheese. The hibiscus tea is free when you check-in. Appreciate a cold drink on a hot day. Some people seem to like it. Just not enough to make me come back for more. read more

I love "World Empanadas". The staff is amazing. Always serve with a smile. Very much appreciated. Every time I go into the valley, I make a point to stop at my favorite spots. This is one of them. Their flavors are the best. My favorite one is the ground beef with the olive in the middle. The spinach is my second favorite. Today, I am trying the spicy potato, mixed berries and soy chorizo. Can't wait to try them. I am sure they will become my favorite too. I wish there was one in Valencia or maybe not. Gives me a reason to travel outside of my city. Until next time. Have a great week! read more

World Empanadas - Santa Fe Chicken empanada - Latin American Near Me - Burbank, California

Holy empanadas! This place just couldn't get any cuter (and yummier). Can't believe it's taken me THIS long to stop by! If you haven't been, you are sorely missing out. Fantastic customer service here! The cashier took his time explaining the different flavors to me and recommended some of his favorites. I ended up getting a beef, spinach and cheese, mushroom and cashew cheese (vegan) and biscuits and gravy empanadas. You do have to wait a few minutes for your order to be ready, but it's totally worth it because they come out hot and perfectly toasted. My favorite was the spinach and cheese, but all of them were very tasty. Each bite had a great amount of filling. I wasn't the biggest fan of their sauces. I was expecting more of a chimichurri type sauce, but they were more like salsa. However it was nice that they had three different options/spicy levels depending on what you like. I love their whole system of how to identify which empanada is which. The empanadas are not only labeled THEMSELVES, but they give you a sheet with your order to decode what the different abbreviations are. So convenient! There is a small amount of seating outside with umbrellas if you wish to eat there. They also have curbside pick-up! I could definitely see these empanadas being a great way to cater a party. For my 4 empanadas, it came out to about $20 (I believe they are $4.50 each). I didn't have any trouble finding parking so it was easy to get in and out! Definitely looking forward to stopping by again soon. read more

Stopping by on a Friday afternoon, I was happy and excited to see a busy place hoping this would be an amazing "meal" or more so "snacks" turned into a meal. The restaurant has a walk-up window to place orders with the menu above so it's a pretty safe option for those not liking to go indoors. Cashier and later the "server" bringing the food to the window were very friendly and helpful with any questions or requests. After looking at the menu I chose three empanadas - biscuits & gravy, spinach & cheese, and the breakfast. These three totaled just under $15. I was also asked if I wanted any sauces and chose chimichurri. I immediately noticed and loved the look of the empanadas - all look crispy, baked perfectly, and the crimping was even better because they stamp the shop name and initials of the type of empanada on each! Very clever and great option! My least favorite of the three was the breakfast. It was just a bit boring and didn't really have seasoning or other flavors besides the basic ingredients like cheese, eggs, etc. I didn't get any bacon flavor and the potatoes kinda mushed into everything. Next was the biscuits and gravy. This was more unique and tasted good, and I loved the creaminess with the bites of sausage, almost reminded me of a pot pie. But again, it didn't really make me go "wow". The favorite of the three - and to my surprise - was the spinach and cheese. Cheesy and the spinach was cooked well without being bitter. Sadly I was not a fan of the chimichurri at all. It was more oil than anything and the only flavors I tasted was the oregano. All three were a good size and make for a good size lunch on their own. All the empanadas were good but nothing really attracted me to make a return visit. read more

soooooo good. loved the variety. definitely recommend the 6 piece combo with drinks. the jamaica (hibiscus) juice was really yummy.

I tried this place for the first time this past sunday. I love love empanadas and usually trek out to the SFV to get authentic argentian ones. But I decided to get one from this place and stay local. I got two beef and one chile con carne. PROS: The place was clean and staff was friendly. Food was tasty and the crust was nice and flakey. The menu has a nice variety of empanadas to cater to a variety of taste buds. CONS: The wait for the food was longer than I had hoped. There is only outside seating. Although the food was tasty, it was just average for my taste. The biggest con for me was the price. $4.95 per empanada was insane for me. Although I would have probably returned, the price factor was the deciding point. I rather travel to SFV to get empanadas I love for a more resonable price. read more

Surprisingly I actually visited here twice in recent months and I can see the appeal for this take-out only eatery that specializes in only empanadas: (1) You can order ahead of time by using their website. (2) All of their empanadas are made fresh with no shortcut. So you will have to wait at least 10+ minutes if you place an order in person. [Parking]: Street parking only with no designated parking lot. [Menu]: They offer meat, vegetarian, vegan, and sweet empanadas. Each empanada is $4.40 and a dozen is $45. Each empanada came with a side of fat free salsa. *** Santa Fe Chicken (Spicy shredded chicken, black beans, sweet corn, diced tomatoes, cayenne pepper, cilantro - $4.40): This is the most popular selection per Yelp highlights. It tasted pretty good with a little bit of spicy kick. Salas came as a side and it tasted a little bit lackluster, but empanada already tasted pretty flavorful. *** Overall a solid and high quality empanada shop, but personally empanadas are slightly pricey. I wouldn't mind stop by this place again (highly recommend to pre-order 30 minutes ahead of time) for a quick bite if I get to hang out in Burbank again. read more
