This place was DOPE! The empanadas are perfection, especially the crust. We tried BBQ chicken, spicy chicken, mushroom, spinach & cheese, and a dessert one, caramel, cream cheese, and peach. We also got some chimichurri sauce. Honestly, they don’t need any sauce. They are so good! The mushroom turned out to be my favorite, I went back and ordered a second one.

We almost passed this place. I’m glad we stopped. I had a ground beef and a ham and cheese empanada. While not made locally, they were delicious and we didn’t have to wait very long. Very friendly service.

Lazo is a great little shop, selling these great Empanadas, with all different types of fillings! If you want a quick bite, they’re quite a good size, so one is a great snack!

I really want to give this place a higher rating, but I wouldn’t be telling the truth. Positives include a fairly clean restaurant and they have more options than what I assumed they would. The first con is that the empanadas are overpriced definitely. When I received my spicy beef empanada, it was so small. For $4.25 plus taxes and they asks for you to tip (which I try to do everywhere I go.) it came out to over $7. I felt cheated. I didn’t see the size until I paid and was shocked. When I tasted the empanada, I expected spices and burst of flavors, and it left me feeling disappointed. Please understand, when you say spicy and it’s not at all spicy, I feel like you’re misleading. On top of all this, the workers weren’t very welcoming, not rude per say but definitely not inviting. I feel like Denver has a lot of empanada locations, so maybe shop around and see what other locations have to offer.

If you’re looking for a quick and delicious bite in Denver, look no further than the empanadas at this restaurant! These empanadas are the real deal – authentic, Argentinean-style treats that will transport your taste buds straight to Buenos Aires.

I was looking for another type of empanadas but came across this place and it was a good surprise! There empanadas were delicious but the salty ones and the sweet ones. Staff was friendly and facilities were clean and with a nice setting. Recommended!

Amazing place for a quick delicious bit to eat! You can purchase individual empanadas or more! I got them spinach and cheese, the steak, and the ground beef! All of theme were AWESOME in their own way. The green sauces are to die for as well! Highly recommend and will be coming back again when I visit Denver next!
