Nora's Empanada Factory

Wonderfully delicious Argentine empanadas with clean ingredients. Vegan option was deliciously seasoned lentils and soyrizo mixture that is truly one of a kind. Then add their sauce! Family owned.

This was my first time here, and the food was great. I will definitely be going back again. Big thanks to Victor it was a pleasure talking with you.

Cool hidden spot here near French Valley. I am happy they advertise on their van as they are pretty hidden in the shopping center behind Temecula Dance Company. I belive it was a catering company prior to that. Inside is very clean and there are some cool I belive Peruvian products I could be wrong sorry! Very cool none the less. They have a good array of flavors and even a soy chorizo vegan option. I would say pretty much everything you tried was very good. They have a unique way of showing you which empanada is which flavor, it could be a folded in corner or a little regular on top so I'll make sure you get those. We had to try the alfajores and they weren't bad a bit dryer and dense in the pastry than I'm used to but it could be because they are kept in the fridge but the flavor of the dulcet de Leche and coconut, so good! We will definitely be back!

We love empanadas and this place is amazing. Staff is wonderful, super friendly. The food was delicious and so delicious we bought a pack of their frozen empanadas for later.

Outstanding. Dropped by here out of curiosity with my kiddos. Warm staff, quick to get food and great novelty. Kids had cheese balls and I went for the guava + cream cheese. We also had the pepperoni pizza which appeals to the kids. All were excellent. Definitely recommend!

This small shop makes some really good empanadas I did a 12 count mix and match box and it did not disappoint the obvious favorite are the Guava and cream cheese for me but overall cannot go wrong with any of their selection will have to go back to try the remainder of the fillings i didn’t get, the chimichurri sauce was really good as well. Must try!!!

I recently had a bit of time before a cardiology appointment and decided to stroll over to Nora's Empanadas Factory. What a discovery! This charming little place is an absolute delight. From the moment you walk in, you notice how clean it is. The service is "crème de la crème," and the Argentinian-style food is nothing short of divine. If you're in the area, you really need to give this place a try. PS there is no one recommendation it's all fabulous make sure to get your hands on the chimichurri sauce it's fabulous

Stopped by this place on my way home and was not disappointed at all! I tried the beef and the pepperoni and both were reallyy good! The chimichurri was really good! They have a regular and spicy and I would go for the spicy one! Would love to come back and try the different fillings!

Empanadas are amazing here! Flavors are great. My husband is vegetarian and there are several options for him. He used to work in the building next to Nora's and would enjoy them often. Now that he doesn't, we try to go back to support the small business as often as we can. Service is on point!

The product is very good quality; these empanadas perfectly represent Argentina. The people behind this business are very kind and hardworking. I highly recommend them, especially for events and parties. Try their empanadas; you won't regret it!

Nice atmosphere, very friendly, delicious empanadas! My first time trying them and I was very impressed. My husband and I ordered the 6 pack of different varieties. 🫶🏽 We Will Back!

The empanadas were absolutely delicious! The crust was golden, flaky, and perfectly crisp, while the filling was flavorful. I could easily eat a few of these in one sitting. Perfect with a bit of thier chimichurri!

I don't know about huge empanadas, for they are average in size. Initially I was thinking that they charge a pretty penny for their empanadas, at the tune of $4+ a piece? Then again, I recalled that usually I travel long and far to obtain empanadas, mostly Orange County, at an Argentine place on La Paz in Mission Viejo. Tuesdays they charge 50% less, so a hungry group (never alone so far) gets a dozen for under $20. In Nora's I believe the Dozen cost $3.66 a piece. The place was nice and much closer to where I hang my cape, so perhaps pricing should be a lot less than driving to and from to Mission Viejo. I am digressing, must be a little high on life, so a very nice young lady also called Nora, but no relation to the owner but a nice coincidence I thought took my order. Beef, Chicken, Ham and Cheese, Mushrooms and Cheese, Spicy Chicken, Spinach (the fatties of the bunch). They were all tasty, more so than the counterparts in Orange County, and believe me I have visited and purchased quite a few establishments in the county area. Spinach, appeared more of a fresh than canned? Very tasty. Chicken favorite of one of the ladies in our group, very discriminating taste as of late, gave them thumbs up. Alfajor, $3 very popular in South America I could not control the temptation of trying at least one. Did not disappoint after dividing it in three, each eater responded yes, and probably there will be an encore in a not so distant. Mushroom and Cheese, Ham and Cheese, and Spicy Cheese closes the selection. Have to confess, that like most people, favorites will be selected. Overall and for the not so inexpensive price of over $50+, regrets were few but not to be repeated for a few months since a dozen is the lowest per to be had. Being close to us was a good thing.

I was very hyped for some of the reels on Instagram and reviews on Google but this place disappointed me. we order 6 empanadas 2 meat 2 ham & cheese and 2 guava the meat ones are decent the ham and cheese lack of flavor and the guava to sweet no guava flavor just sweet chimicchurri blend whit no specific flavor I couldn't taste anything.

Unfortunately this place was not a hit for us. Empanadas are one of my favorite things in the world. I ordered a dozen meat empanadas and six ham and cheese empanadas. The order was to go. As I got home and opened the package, I noticed that the dough was undercooked on several of the empanadas. I had to put all of the empanadas in my oven at home for about 10 minutes. They were just ok. Not bad, not great. They are also very pricey at almost $4 each! Not sure if I’ll return to this location. My time and money might be better spent if I buy the tapas at the market and just make them myself at home.
