" Had an amazing experience at The Empanada Shop! The empanadas are truly fantastic, with a great selection of flavors. I went for the birria - it was so flavorful I can still taste it days later! The place is relatively small, so I recommend ordering ahead if you're in a hurry. Besides that, the staff is very friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. I will be returning very soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! I visited on a whim and ended up ordering the potato and lentil empanada along with a few desserts. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors in the vegan options - they were seasoned beautifully. The only drawback I faced was that I had to wait a little longer than expected due to a lunchtime rush. However, the staff kept us updated, so it was worth it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews and I wasn’t let down! Tried four different empanadas and each one was a delight. The chorizo and potato were my favorites. The only drawback was that the seating was pretty limited, but since the flavors are so good, it's a trade-off I'm willing to make. The place is well-kept and the staff are genuinely friendly. I can’t wait to visit again for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I found this gem tucked away in the neighborhood! The Empanada Shop serves the most authentic empanadas I've ever had outside of a family gathering. Each one is lovingly crafted with fresh ingredients, and you can really taste the difference. I tried the birria and it was bursting with flavor. The staff is super friendly and always willing to recommend their favorites. It's a bit small, but that just adds to the cozy charm. I'll definitely be coming back soon for more delicious bites! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Empanada Shop is my new favorite spot! Everything I ordered was bursting with flavor. The beef picadillo was my go-to, and I was definitely not disappointed. The staff treated us like family and were always on top of things. The only minor issue is that it can get a little busy, so try to go off-peak hours if you can. I will 100% be back—great food awaits! " (*Curated Review*)

" First off, I have to say that the service is incredibly friendly here. I felt right at home as soon as I walked in! Now, onto the empanadas: I ordered a mix of savory and sweet. While the savory options were flavorful, I found the sweet potato one a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend trying the birria ones for sure—they were delicious. Overall, it's a charming place, just be cautious with which sweet flavors you select! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just visited The Empanada Shop for the first time, and I was really impressed! The empanadas are made fresh daily, and I could tell. I went for the picadillo and the ham and cheese; both were super flavorful and filling. The only complaint I have is about the parking situation—it can be tricky at times. But overall, a lovely experience with some of the best empanadas around. " (*Curated Review*)
