Had such a great experience at The Empanada Cookhouse in Dallas that I actually went back the next morning before heading home to Louisiana just to grab a 6-pack for the road. That alone should tell you how good they are. The empanadas are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked with a great crispy crust and delicious fillings. What really stood out though was the owner — super friendly and welcoming. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and takes pride in the food he’s serving. That kind of passion really shows in the quality. If you're anywhere near Dallas, do yourself a favor and stop by. Amazing food, great people, and definitely a spot I’ll return to whenever I’m back in town.

Very nice place. I ordered the empanada of pabellón Venezolano, which I was pleasantly surprised to be a fried empanada. The cilantro ranch was great to accompanied this meal food of flavor. I also ordered a Mango drink, which was organic and delicious. And to complete, a Nutella empanada full of flavor. Highly recommended, they’re very kind and the food was fantastic

This is a quick walk from the Perot or Dallas Aquarium. We had a quick snack - an Empanada box split 4 ways. We got to try (3) flavors. All were fantastic. The music selection playing was so good. It was also well balanced and not too loud for conversation. Thank you for the yummy food and enjoyable atmosphere!

You can order quickly from a touch screen and choose to eat in the restaurant or take your food to go. There are many flavors and salsa options. The tamarind pork is delicious, and the al pastor is tasty. The spinach is a bit dry, but everything was served hot and fast.

I absolutely loved the options here, can be a bit pricey. However, it’s worth it!! A perfect spot to Pickup on the go or dine in! Also military friendly !

First of all, let me say I love this place and I am a frequent customer. The owner is the nicest person I’ve spoken to inside the establishment, but the employee's are a different story. The woman who usually bags up my food was visibly high and was unable to understand what I was asking her. Her eyes are BLOODshot red and she acts like she’s in a complete daze. I came in after ordering because I realized I could use my points to get some churros. She proceeds to tell me my order can’t be fulfilled because their “iPad isn’t working”. Which made no sense to me because I had just ordered through their app and it worked perfectly fine like always. I try to explain to her that I usually order through the app and I just wanted to make sure I could use my points then and there. There is no language barrier, she was just too high to even comprehend what I was saying. As a smoker, I know when I see it. Then after going back and forth she tells me that she can in fact make my churros and I’ll just have to use my points “another time.” I asked her whether or not my order went through on the app with my points and she couldn’t answer that either. Mind you I’m extremely polite and I would never disrespect someone that is making/serving my food. But after telling me (with a NASTY attitude) that she will make my churros , she then turns to laugh at me with her coworker in the back. And then hands me my food with the smuggest look on her face even though I still thanked her. This isn’t the first time she’s come off rude either but I’ve not one to take things like that personal. But this time, that was absolutely ridiculous and anyone with working eyes can see she’s completely out of it. Also, she gives me the bare minimum amount of rice every single time which I feel is petty and weird. I’m leaving this review to make the owner aware of what’s going on, but other than that the food is great and service is always quick.

This is a small restaurant with modern design that we rate 4.5 out of 5. The empanadas were on point and the salsa verde pairing was perfect. We ordered 3 empanadas beef chimichuri, pork bbq and all were tasty. The staff were nice and professional. The design is modern. This was a good experience for us.

Ya’ll this was actually pretty good, as a Mexican I wasn’t sure if I’d like it, but the empanadas are actually fully filled with the protein you choose. My favorite was the chicken buffalo✅ the beef/potato empanada was okay I don’t really care for ground beef The Tamarind/Pork was the one I was a bit hesitant about butttt in my opinion it tasted like bbq pulled pork, so it was good The rice was good and fresh What’s crazy is that I didn’t eat these in 1 sitting, but took me about 3 days to eat these and the bread…stayed fresh, it was still soft and eatable 😭🙏 I was so glad and impressed, I’ll be ordering again

Such a yummy stop! It was easy to order and we were quickly served. They had two gluten free options and both were excellent! We go the hibiscus lemonade and it was sweet but quite yummy. If you’re in a hurry, they can get you in quickly! We had the chips and guac which were both tasty and we’d get again. The plantains were sweet and filling!
