Aloha De Nada Empanadas

These empanadas were delicious!! The owner was so kind as I avoid dairy and he actually had some leftover vegan dough, he made some up fresh for me which I really appreciated. The sweet potato chips are also fantastic!

Amazing Empanadas and outstanding service. This is a must stop if you are on the Big Island. We tried every flavor but the vegetable and there is not a bad one on the menu. However, I highly recommend the Grandmas, the New York Chop, and the Ube one.

Absolutely outstanding!! We tried almost all the different kinds of empanadas on the menu, and everything was so delicious. Truly the best food we had during our trip to Hawaii! The owner was also so kind, and the service was great! We were very impressed with Aloha De Nada and would love to come back the next time we are in Hawaii

I don’t leave many reviews but from first walk in we were greeted with a smile and warm atmosphere. I would consider myself an empanada snob and these were right up there with the best. Grandmas were top choice followed by the Cuban then chicken. It does take about 10 min for them to prepare and get. So we walked next door to Gypsea gelato and grabbed some treats for the kids. Nice little deck out back. Great place to get your eats and hang out. Highly recommend.

I do love the empanadas at five dollars each! I have tried several and the pastry has always been fresh and it’s wonderful and hot and ready to eat. They also have desserts. I had the Bad Bunny carrot cake marvelous. Best value on the island. Atmosphere is really not applicable. This is a small place with good technology and Tony doing a great job.

Ube-Bae and Pollo Loco were my favorites! Tony did a fantastic job explaining the flavors and wait time for our order. Surprisingly filling! Too bad it won’t be open before we leave the island.

Delicious, authentic homemade Puerto Rican empanadas! My daughter and I went twice in one day! You can take out or eat on the shaded lanai patio. Tony, the proprietor, is so friendly and dedicated to making sure you have a wonderful experience. Try his “grandmother’s” recipe for empanadas! So good!

Cutest little empanada place in Kona! My boyfriend and I visited Aloha De Nada Empanadas while we were on vacation in Kona and it did not disappoint! Tony makes the best empanadas! Food: We ordered a bunch of different empanadas, we got Grandmas's Empanadas, New York Chopped Cheese Empanadas, Ube-Bae Empanadas, the vegetarian empanadas, and the oreo one as well. All of them were incredible- the vegetarian and oreo ones were our favorites. The flavors are so incredibly unique and go perfectly together. Service: Seems like it was very understaffed when we visited so the wait time was a bit long, but we didn't mind. Atmosphere: Very cute and inviting! I would love to visit this place again!

Tony makes great vegetarian empanadas made to order. He was so helpful and even gave us a kamaaina discount with the purchase of 4. I would definitely eat there again!

Foodie highlight of my trip. Crafted from his grandmothers recipe. The crunch and warm savory filling was incredible after snorkeling near Capitan Cook. Mahalo.
