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!

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)

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.

Their veggie/vegan empanadas and burritos are FANTASTIC!!! Their chimichurri could use some work, but still great food!!!

This is an excellent hole-in-the-wall spot. The empanada dough was ok, flavors good. For something quick this is a good bet though.

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.

Good, but could use a bit more flavor and the dough could be flakier. Tried the ham and cheese, spinach and 3 cheese (my fav) and the mixed berry. Love how they stamp the flavor initials on the edge!

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.

Great, quick place for lunch! Friendly service, delicious empanadas and soup. Very reasonably priced combo. Would've given 5 stars if they had more seating and a restroom! (Only room for 12 inside, 4 outside) Would be perfect place to grab food for a picnic or party.

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.
