I feel so lucky to have this special spot a 5 minute drive from my house. The owner is so kind and friendly and the empanadas are delicious!!! I prefer to sit there and eat my empanadas fresh on the plate if I have the time. My favorite is the spicy chicken. Thank you Empanada’s Place!

Stopped by because I was in the area. Delicious empanadas. Fresh food and tasty as well. Even got a complimentary dessert. The whole experience was friendly and the vibe is cozy and calm. Definitely recommend

Very shocked this place doesn’t have a higher total review number. 5.0 star all the way, not a point less. Will certainly recall it and come back!

I was craving empanadas and stumbled upon this place. It was a Saturday and I found parking easily in the adjacent lot but there was plenty of street spots open as well. The staff were so friendly. It’s cash only but there’s a gas station with an ATM across the street. The food came out within ten minutes and it was so fresh. I absolutely loved the flavors of each empanada I ordered plus there were plenty of vegetarian options for my friends. I will definitely be coming back!Vegetarian options: All clearly labeledDietary restrictions: All clearly labeledParking: Parking lot to the right just past the store frontWheelchair accessibility: All one level

This is a family owned and run little hidden gem in Mar Vista, I can’t believe I haven’t been there before! I had the Arabe empanada and the Spicy Cheese empanada with Chimichurri sauce on the side. They were both delicious! The owner was very kind and sweet, he gave me a complimentary Alfajor that was insanely good. I’m definitely going back to try more of their food and drinks.PS: Make sure to bring cash because they don’t accept any other payment method!

That Milanese meat sandwich made me feel at home. A very good thick Milanese, very well seasoned. And the incredible cornstarch alfajores too!

The empanadas here are AMAZING. They have a great deal if you order a dozen empanadas.Two empanadas are more than enough per person.The alfajores here are a must try!

Holy cow y’all these are the best empanadas to ever exist. If you’re in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and pop in to grab a meal. Cutest little mom & pop place. Reminder that they only take cash!I will say the only downside is that they close at 7 pm. There have been many nights where i would’ve loved to stop in, but they were already closed. But maybe it’s not so bad though, or else i’d be spending way more money here than i should be ?Thank you guys for delivering amazing quality Argentinian food!!!

Random little shop but I appreciate the understated and timeless interior. The empanadas were a bit pricey but extremely delicious and fresh. Cash only. Only street parking available from what I could tell... we parked at the gas station across the street.
