I had to come rep for my culture! Very cute little shop for a quick bite, perfect for a snack. Shop was small inside and the food was absolutely delicious. All the empanadas we tried, you can tell were made with love. Can’t wait to come back.

Saw the sign and had to stop at this newly opened, locally owned shop. I love empanadas! A delicious little hand pie full of spicy goodness. I had a Chorizo one and a chicken adobo one. Both were the best I’ve had. Definitely will be back!

Good place for empanadas. I think most of the flavors are really nice. Some of them were sweet and some were sour. It’s about $4 each when I went. But if you get a lot of them it’s a discount. Street parking was a bit hard to find. I got a spot across the street.

If Porto’s is too far to drive to…come here. With a Mexi-Californian style trendy options down to traditional options…muaaa! Delicious! I also had two of their tacos Al pastor and chicken mole).made on a homemade corn tortilla. Family owned and worth a quick bite…yes they have a few seats inside and outside. Enjoy!

I take everyone who visits LA here. ITS SO GOOD (get the green sauce!!). Birria and the chocolate one 🫦Whenever I tell my friends where we’re going I think they just think a normal shop and multiple times they will just mention it throughout their day 😂😂. I go just myself often. And the staff is SO KIND 🤍

We doordashed eight different types of empanadas and all of them were amazing. My favorite was birria beef and my husband loved chipotle chicken but the rest of them were all amazing. And two dessert empanadas were really good and if you choose only one, Mexican chocolate one is the killer!

Great spot for a quick bite. I think we tried every empanada in the case — they were all fantastic. The apple churro was a hit. We ate out front — wouldn’t dine in with a big group but 2-4 people is good. Will definitely be back—thanks!

My boyfriend and I have quickly become regulars at The Empanada Shop! Our first time in we decided to get one of everything to try and can't decide which is our favorite because everything was just that good, and keep coming back for more! I followed @theempanadashop on Instagram and learned there is a new flavor - ham and Oaxaca Mexican cheese - on the menu that I can't wait to try. Awesome humans and awesome food!

Great authentic and vegan friendly empanadas. They have a wide variety of flavors and they come with a chimichurri sauce to dip or spread. The atmosphere is warm and inviting; the service is kind of sub, I think the cashier was just having a bad day that time. Overall, I would still highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to try empanadas or looking for a new empanada place to try.

Great customer service and delicious empanadas with both meat and vegetarian options. The guy at the counter was very friendly. They supply empanadas to Ralph’s and Wholesfood; now you can get them directly from the source and support a local business.

I love this neighborhood empanada shop! They are the best empanada's I've ever had and they have delicious dessert ones. The birria empanada was amazing! Thank you!

Delicious! Cute little shop. I normally am not a fan of empanadas, but my daughter was craving them. Apparently I never had a good empanada before! The pastry part was fresh and soft. Filling was tasty. This is the place for empanadas!

After driving by so many times I finally had to stop in and give them a try. Got the 6-pack, each empanada was super flavorful and they were kind enough to throw us an additional free one since it was the end of the day. The sauces are just as delicious! Will definitely be coming back, my favorite was the mole chicken!

Prices are reasonable and service is fast and friendly! Great for a low calorie and cheap snack or lunch!!

Delicious! Surprised by the good amount of lean meat in these empanadas. I got nearly every flavor for a small party and they were a hit. I chose this shop because they offered a vegan option. I wish there were more but I can’t complain! Very pleased with the flavor and quality.

What a wonder this place is. nothing beats A good empeñada and you can tell it's good by the small space the resturuant is in and the narrow menu which means they know what they're doing. I love the simple design of the place and the logo! It's very inviting and I can see why this place has good ratings and even better food! Not to mention the cute imprint of their brand on the food and deserts. It's cozy, nostalgic, and very comforting to eat these on a cold day. I won't forget this place and will be coming back for more. 😋

Nice local empanada shop great for a quick stop snack or take it to go. Birria and chipotle empanadas were my favorites. They have all veggies option too. Only street parking available so be aware of the passing cars. They have online ordering so you can save yourself some time too.

Amazing, delicious empanadas! The bread was so fresh and the birria flavorful. Next I’ll try apple churro flavor! Reasonable price $5 for 1 meat and cheese it was so good. Will definitely come back here 👍

delicious empanadas with little seating area on the sidewalk. Right around the corner from the library. Get a book, get some lunch/a snack!

Yummy empanadas are so good for quick bites. Delicious, I like it! Highlights of the menu: 1. Birrie beef empanada 2. Picadillo beef empanada 3. Chicken ancho empanada 4. Chipotle chicken 5. Chorizo & potato 6. Ham & cheese empanada Sweet empanadas 7. Mexican chocolate empanada 8. Zucchini & cheese empanada 9. Lentil & potato

This is the cutest little shop and the service is phenomenal! Empanadas are pretty darn yummy, too. I love that everything is ready to go, as long as its available of course. It’s a little drive for me and I wouldn’t say I would drive out of my way for these empanadas but if I’m in the area I know where to stop for a quick bite. I recommend the birria empanadas for sure. The sweet potato ones are so-so but the zucchini ones are fire 🔥

A bit pricey but a nice treat once in awhile.
