The empanadas are good, especially the dough, but they are too pricey for their size. Perfect place if you are looking for a quick bite but for a dinner you need to order at least four or five empanadas. The staff was very friendly. If you are staying at the hotel, this is a good option.Vegetarian options: There are options

Great for empanadas on the run.....great staff. Best empanadas would definitely be at an authentic South American restaurant.
Their empanadas are good - I like the ones with beef. They are a bit expensive ( about $5 each) but they are worth it. They are not skimpy with fillings and the empanadas are oozing with delicious marinade - which made me realize I didn't need to order additional sauces I also bought the dessert one and I like the one with peaches- they are super yummy!The seating is arranged so that everyone is facing the window.Service is also fast and I highly recommend this place. You gotta try this one

Wowie! These things were quite tasty. I will definitely be coming back. I found myself greatly enjoying the BBQ Chicken, Steak Quesadilla, and Spicy Chicken flavors. They warmed our tummies and brought the perfect amount of spice with the sauces. I typically love mushroom but didn’t enjoy the mushroom flavor here, I felt it was a bit runny with the cheese sauce inside. Looking forward to coming back and rounding out my experience of the menu.

Yay for empanadas! Back in October, I arrived in Denver on business and needed a quick bite before I went to the convention center. While in my hotel room, I looked for something local and voila! Lazo Empanadas came up. It was about a 15 minute walk from my hotel and located on right within the 16th street mall. Upon walking in, I noticed the shop was modern, clean, and brightly lit. I was greeted by the staff and able to order within minutes of waiting. I immediately asked where their empanadas originate from - they're Argentinian! I have been to Argentina and had authentic empanadas, so I was excited. Their menu is pretty straightforward. You can order empanada's individually @ $4.69 each or order a unit as part of a promo. They offer a variety of animal based proteins, veggie, and even dessert types like nutella and banana. In addition, they offer a frozen assorted pack for your convenience. I really liked all of this as it seems to cater to every type of customer. Ok so for the main event. I decided to go with 3 empanadas - ground beef, chicken caprese, and steak quesadilla, along with a side of chimichurri sauce. Firstly, the empanadas are baked, so the crust is soft and flaky with a warm filling. Out of the 3, the ground beef was the best. It was seasoned well and reminiscent of the traditional empanadas I've had. The runner up was the chicken caprese. The filling was not the most appealing, visually but the taste was alright. It reminded me of a chicken calzone. Very unique offering among their other flavors though. Lastly, the steak quesadilla. Also not appealing. It was runny and reminded me of a canned pasta meal like chef boyardee. The flavor alright and could've used some elevation. It was not reminiscent of a steak quesadilla in the least bit and I was disappointed. I think there was so much more they could've done like using steak bites or ground beef with sauteed onions, cheese, and bell peppers. I did not have purchase any drinks however, they offer free tap water to customers. Finally, the staff were kind and helpful. Service was also quick and simple, but pricing was slightly higher than I'm used to. It's a nice place to stop in for a bite to eat whether solo or with friends. There are a few seating areas inside and some outdoor seating which gives it a cafe feel. Overall, 3 stars for good service and ambiance but the empanadas were not a hit for me. If I were in Denver again, I think I'd return but it wouldn't be on my list of places that I needed to run to. I would encourage others to check it out though and make your own call.

Delicious food but way over priced for the tiny little empanadas you get. Either make the empanadas bigger or lower the price. I will not be visiting this place often
