Food was amazing. But I feel like that’s not enough, so I’m going to add how long I would be willing to drive for this specific food!

Heard from several friends how good his food was and finally got to check out the King. Born and raised in Tampa I know what a good empanada is and the King’s were both excellent and reasonably priced. The included sauces were both really good, each with just the right amount of tang. The most expensive thing on his menu were the salchipapas but it was huge, awesome and took until the next day to finish. It should also be said that the King is a hard working guy, you only have to speak to him for a minute to see how passionate he is about his food and business. End of the day your money is well spent here.

I came here because I have been trying to find a place that serves a good Salchipapa and I am glad I finally made the time to come down here. The food is great and the service is wonderful he really makes it feel like you’re a regular, loves to talk to his customers and make them feel welcome.

Yo! These empanadas from Big John are amazing. The sauces were like the cherry on top. The only things that can outshine the food is Big John’s heart and passion. I love everything about The Empanada King, and I can’t wait to come back to town just to get a bite.
