World Empanadas Burbank Reviews
Some of the best empanadas I've ever had. The vegan mishroom and cashew cheese is a heavenly flavor bomb. The salsas are flavorful and perfectly spiced. Can't wait to come back!
Picked up a box of 6 empanadas to bring home, and another time i stopped by on impluse while driving by with my wife and we sat down on their outdoor tables by the sidewalk and had some coffee and 2 breakfast empanadas each. I personally loved their pepperoni pizza empanada, theres alot of different kinds of flavors to try beyond the standard beef/chicken/pork fillings a traditional bakery would have. Its a good place to know about. Their empanadas might be the perfect snack your craving that day, or you need to quickly get something like Porto's, but without the huge crowd and line.
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.
According to World Empanadas in Burbank, California, “good food takes time” and it’s definitely worth waiting for their made to order namesake empanadas AND fresh, homemade pasta. As a family owned and operated business since 2012, they have kept an extremely loyal clientele through their authentic Argentine-style empanadas with hints of global flavors. ✨Are you a sauce girly or boy?✨ You’re in luck: ask for their popular spicy, smoky chile con carne and chimichurri sauces🔥 Featured empanadas: 🥔Beef and Potatoes (seasoned ground beef, green olives, potatoes, bell peppers and spices), 🍳Breakfast (fresh scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, jack and cheddar cheese, and potatoes), 🌽Creamy Corn (sweet corn, cream parm sauce and simmer onions), 🌶️Spicy Potato (tender potatoes, fried onions, mozzarella cheese, cooked in a spicy salsa verde), 🇮🇳Samosa (potatoes, peas, onion, ginger, garlic and garam masala spices, mint chutney), 🍌Nutella and Bananas (creamy Nutella and bananas)
World Empanadas excels even with to-go orders! I recently ordered takeout and was thoroughly impressed. The empanadas arrived hot and perfectly crispy, with each one packed full of fresh, flavorful ingredients. The attention to detail in packing ensured that nothing was compromised during transport. The variety of fillings is fantastic, offering something for every taste, from classic beef to savory chicken and vibrant vegetarian options. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the pickup process smooth and hassle-free. World Empanadas proves that their quality and commitment to excellence shine through, whether dining in or enjoying from home. Highly recommend!
There's so much variety with this place! I wanted to get their $27 box of 6, but if you're ordering or GrubHub, that's not an option. Honestly though, you're probably better ordering at the window, because my GrubHub order was lost anyway, but not a big deal, only took 5 minutes to gather my order together. Oh, and their dessert Nutella + Banana Empanada was really good! Sorry! No pics!
It was a very hot day in Burbank (~100F) when I went but these empanadas were amazing. The people at the front counter are knowledgeable of the products, ingredients and preparation. They offer four different types of vegan empanadas. I tried the mushroom, rice and beans and the lentil one. They’re all delicious with a crispy flour crust. They’re prepared fresh and worth the wait. They also have a tortilla soup that is very tasty which is GF and vegan. They do have empanadas for all diet types. They also have fresh drinks to enjoy. Parking is in the front of the establishment and you have to walk around the corner to reach their back seating area if you plan to eat there.
A fun little restaurant with a lot of interesting flavors that will make you want to try them all. Out of the 4 flavors I tried, the Chile con Carne was easily my favorite. It was spicy and delicious! The spinach and cheese and Santa Fe were very solid. The only disappointment was the sausage and biscuits, which I’m not sure was correct as it tasted like it had olives? Regardless, it wasn’t bad, but i won’t be ordering that one again. The pastry itself held up pretty well after being delivered. I also love the little logo on the pastry. I ordered 4 empanadas and that was just the right amount for me, as they quite small. I recommend going here if you like trying a variety of flavors and love a good pastry.
Reservation experience: we placed an order online and it was ready for take out in about 20 minutes. Food: What an amazing amazing place! Loved it. We ordered both vegan and non vegan empanadas. The dips were amazing. The mushroom and cashew cheese empanada and the spinach cheese empanadas were stuff of dreams. I was a bit underwhelmed by the quinoa lentil empanada. Value for money: 100%
Let’s start from the beginning. My wife and I have passed by this place many times and I truly regret not stopping by sooner. I loved my biscuits and gravy empanada as well as the Chili con Carne empanada. My wife had the beef and chicken. Everything had such great flavors. Last, but certainly not least, the Dulce de Leche and the Nutella and banana. I am torn as to which one I liked best but we most definitely will be back again, thanks for the hospitality. #nohofoodie #nohofattie #chefrobertfoodfinds #foodiefoodporn #foodporn #empanadalife #empanadasarelife #818 #Burbank #keepMagnoliaforsmallbusiness #shoplocal #shoplocal818 #818foodfinds
Tried a few different empanades today. I enjoyed all of them, but the spinach and 3 cheese was a complete standout to me. I also tried the banana and Nutella one, eaters beware, I got the Nutella all down my shirt! Next time I'll just put a bunch of napkins down my front before eating it.
They used to have seating indoor and out the back but now it's limited to a few tables out front. In fact everything is outfront now, including ordering & pick up. They do a lot of pick-ups for industry workers so the wait can get very long. It just feels a lot more impersonal than it used to. The food, however, has remained consistent. Their empanadas, soups, and teas are great. My personal favorite is Chili Con Carne with verde salsa and a hibiscus iced tea.
Came here for the first time and it was okay. The employees were super nice and I received my order within the time they gave (about 6-8mins for 3 empanadas and soup). Parking on the street was limited when I arrived around 4pm but I found a spot not too far away. For the food: I ordered the beef, Santa Fe chicken, and biscuits and gravy empanadas. I also got the tortilla soup. I ended up paying over $20 with tip. The beef empanada was only half filled. The Santa Fe chicken empanada was pretty good. The biscuits and gravy empanada had way too much pepper and wasn't that good - I couldn't finish it. The dough was undercooked for all of them. The beef had raw gummy dough. The tortilla soup was a good vegan option but not sure I'll order it again. Overall, the empanadas could have been cooked longer but the pastry had good flavor. I'm not sure they were worth $5/ea but everything is expensive these days.
World Empanadas in Burbank was a mixed experience for me. It took longer than expected to get just two empanadas, which was a bit frustrating. The outdoor seating area isn’t very enjoyable, it’s hot, with no shade, and feels like you’re sitting right next to the road with tons of cars constantly passing by. As for the food, the empanadas were okay, but honestly, I feel like they’re more hype than substance. That said, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. Overall, not bad, but not sure I’d go out of my way to return.
