The Empanadus storefront is not only incredibly inviting, but the dining area also has the added benefit of being bathed in sunlight during the initial dusk hours. Such a captivating characteristic can only be complemented further by the charming and charismatic individuals who took my order .

This place is in Riverside on Burlington avenue. An area I’m very familiar with however, I’ve not had the pleasure of eating in this establishment till yesterday. 3/30/2022. I had two empanadas, a bowl of lentil soup, a Pellegrino and a dessert in which there is a picture here but I’m not sure of the name. First and foremost, the place is clean. That’s the biggest issue for me overall second, while I’m not an empanada expert, these were very good. Fresh not dry. Flaky and flavorful. The two ladies that were there were delightful. I don’t know if this is a good deal or not, but the empanadas I believe were $3.20 a piece. The soup was very good. Rivals my wife’s lentil soup. The location is right off of Burlington train stop reasonable amount of parking and overall a very good place to visit. One caution, there’s not very much seating area. See pictures. Definitely a recommendation.

Easily the best empanadas that I’ve had here in Chicago, the chimichurri sauce gives the extra flavor and perfume to the food. The local doesn’t have many tables for sitting but you can grab them to go , and they are ready to be picked quick

If you have never been to Empanadus, run don’t walk! These are by far the freshest and tastiest baked empanadas I’ve had in a long time. Brought home a dozen to try and find our “flavorites”… went head over heels for the Beef, Buffalo Chicken and Mushroom. The BBQ Pork, Sausage, Spinach and Vegan options are also top notch. Very unique and delicious, Empanadus are a hit.

Small and cozy, not much room to sit so this is more of a take out place. I’ve been here twice so far and every pastry I’ve tried is suuuuper delicious and filling. They don’t do coffee drinks- just plain, with cream and sugar. Delicious food!

Reading all these reviews might have raised my expectations a little to much. Or maybe the price raised my expectations. But nevertheless, I tried 2 kinds the pepperoni pizza type and the beef. The pizza was a 2star edible but super greasy. The grease oozed onto my beef empanada. So much so I took one bite and took a break to gather myself. The beef was a 3 star maybe better without the pizza grease. I’ll give it another shot down the road, maybe.

Delicious! Both the caprese and the mushroom empanadus were so flavorful, and the chimichurri sauce added an additional layer of flavor. Very nice and helpful young man working behind the counter.

Single serve bite-size snack. Got em to go. Cute name labels. Maaaaaaybe a repeat. My child only enjoyed the sausage. The beef had a unique seasoning. Seems like it should pair with greens. rice or guac something that will elevate the taste and purchase. Worth a try, so go and figure it out on your own. No pics was starving place is near zoo, kinda stuffed em in my car .. womp womp

Good empanadas, Great chimichurri sauce. They are out of the veggie and vegan empanadas a lot which is disappointing but still recommended.
