Jumbo Empanadas

First time visiting and really hot are nice experience! The staff or owner was really super nice. Ordered one of their famous beef empanadas and it was hot and delicious! I even ordered the hot sauce and it was a perfect accompaniment! It was a really tasty snack and really hit the spot. Looking forward to coming back again on another visit!

Ordered 2 cheese empanadas and both were great. The spicy salsa they served it with was very good and flavorful. Service was ok, the lady taking our order seemed like we were bothering her. No A/C so a great place to grab and go. I'm sure in the right times of the year it's fine.

Honestly it’s hard to find good Chilean empanadas in the city, we are a rare sight over here haha so it’s nice to come here… You can never go wrong with some empanadas de carne y de queso, they’re just not as good as my abuelitas🙈🙊 Can’t wait to come back and try their pastel de choclo y empanadas de pollo. Employees are always very polite and welcoming.

A low key restaurant that serves authentic food. We had vegetarian and cheese empanadas, along with humita. The vegetable empanadas were very fresh tasting and were a refreshing complement to the cheese empanadas, which were delicious as well. I had the humita for the first time and really liked the flavour.

I loved the empanadas. I am trying it for the first time and I loved it. It has a huge filling of meat inside and the beef empanadas were very juicy too. Would definitely visit next time.

got chicken and vegetarian empanadas, and they were both awful. the chicken empanada had one whole random olive in it and a quarter of a hard boiled egg that was out of place. it seemed like nothing was mixed. the vegetarian empanada had mushrooms on one side and spinach on the other, which was soggy and tasteless. the dough was okay, but fully tasted like pizza dough. both were about $10 each, so definitely not worth the price. on top of that, the worker had a very passive aggressive attitude and was borderline rude. unfortunately, i don't recommend :(

We shared an empanada, humita, and corn pie. All good but not the best I’ve had.

Compared to the empanadas I’ve had in Chile, these are pretty good, I’d rate them (by comparison) a 7/10. They need to figure out how to reheat these properly though. Middle of the beef wasn’t hot but the pastry was very. Worth trying but judging by the review pictures I also think they are raising their prices too often.

I want to start with this... that salsa was yummy! I see why they sell it in bigger containers cause if i was from there I'd take some home! Heard about this place on social media and it was a big hype so we said why not. Plus it's located right in Kensington Market in a quaint restaurant with a cute patio in front. Walked in and you can see the ovens and the already made empanadas on the rolling trays. They have different options - beef, chicken, and veggie. We got beef and shared it. I would say when i thought jumbo i thought bigger lol BUT it was bigger than your average empanadas. Didn't take a pic of inside but it had meat, boiled egg, and some veggies. The flavor was just okay so I highly recommend getting the salsa to pair it with. The lady that took our order was nice. She popped the empanada in the oven and it took about 10min. Service was quick as we came when it was first opening.

Jumbo is definitely a great way to describe these empanadas - we stopped by to just try these pastries and actually left feeling pretty satisfied. The store itself was pretty small and had a few tables for seating - there was only one group of two at another table so it was pretty quiet as well. ​ The worker taking our order and serving our food wasn't the kindest or friendliest, but we got our food pretty quickly and it was plenty hot. The empanadas themselves were worth trying I think, but I don't know if I would come back again to try the same things. The meat was well seasoned, but I thought the food itself was a little thin and I would prefer it to be more stuffed than just visibly big, if that makes sense. The sauce it came with was nice though, I wish there had been more! Overall, I'm glad ​I could get to try the empanadas and experience it - it was a good one time visit for sure!

3.75/5 - located in Kensington market on a second floor - we ordered the beef empanada and ate it warmed in the store. the empanada pastry was flaky and generously filled with a meat mixture. unfortunately, the meat itself had less flavor than I expected. they offer a salsa for some extra flavor, probably because the flavor inside is more mild. it was less punchy than other traditional empanadas I have had. by the time I got to the middle, the pastry began to fall apart since it started to become soggy. - the service was a bit slow since it took time for them to warm the empanada up. - there are a few small tables but it is definitely meant for as a grab and go option. the space is too small for a larger group. - overall, I would go if there was a short line

I enjoy these empanadas a lot. They are the Chilean version of turnovers with filling. I got the beef this time, but chicken are really tasty too. When you eat an empanada hot, they are complimented perfectly with the fresh cool salsa. The cheese empanadas remind me of the Santiago street food queso empanadas... sooo good.

The empanadas are made earlier in the day so once you heat it up, it's a little bit chewy. I will say that it is a lot of shredded chicken inside the empanada. The cheese one was much smaller and a bit bland. I didn't find it tasty. I wouldn't really recommend it. It looks good though, and The View from inside in the summertime with the open front looks really cool.

After reading about this place in so many "Kensington market must-eats" lists, decided to try their empanadas. Ordered the jumbo empanada with chicken (around $7CAD). I asked the lady to reheat it and still felt at room temperature after few minutes of being reheated. I didn't like the empanada, it was very bland, doughy and the chicken was dry.

This is my third time coming to this place and I still don't understand the hype of this place - Empanadas are so MEH and the people who work here are not even nice unless you're one of their kind. The girl on the cash wasn't very helpful when I tried asking questions eventhough the place is not busy. I came back again today to try their mini Empanadas coz my work is having a South American theme Potluck. I tried all 3 - Beef, Chicken and Veggies and I can't even eat them even though they're minis. Empanadas either taste bland and dry (Chicken) or very sweet (Beef). The only thing that's passable is the Veggie Empanada but still not that great. Jumbo Empanadas - three tries and you're out. Won't be coming back to your store that's for sure!

I had been researching good food in the Toronto area and this Jumbo Empanada place kept popping up as a place to try. This was a small place in Kensington Market & I ended up going inside to grab a bite! They only allow like 2 people in the shop at a time so I ended up ordering the Chicken Jumbo Empanada. Its about $6.50 a pop and once I ordered they were brought out to me in like 5 minutes. They came piping hot! I also got some salsa on the side which was a nice decision as it gave more flavor. The empanada was okay though in my opinion, it was nice and crispy on the outside, but the filling just wasn't that good. I felt the meat wasn't seasoned that great and the chicken was a bit dry for my liking. Overall, though I am glad I tried it out!

I was pretty disappointed with this place, the good thing I guess the empanadas were huge I got the beef empanadas and it was pretty cheap, I don't u sweat and why they put raisins in my opinion it ruins the whole taste of the empanada, I appreciate that they are making everything from scratch but to be honest the meat tasted bland, it didn't really taste like anything to be honest but I appreciate them making it from scratch it just didn't taste good to me if I'm being honest

When they mean jumbo, they really mean it. I came here without knowing the actual sizes until I saw these bad boys hanging on the racks ready to be heated up. I got two, one for here and the other to go. They were pretty standard and also filling which is a plus! Service was alright, they did ask for tips which is weird because they don't serve you the food, they just tell you your order is ready and you go pick it up at the counter. This place has been on my list for a long time and I am glad I can check another place off my list.

I'll be honest... really didn't like this place. This place is very popular with the locals and we found it highly recommended by travel blogs. The empanadas is really thick and doughy. The dough/crust itself doesn't have a lot of flavor. The filling itself is pretty decently seasoned but again... not a lot of flavor. Salsa comes on the side... for 50 cent extra. But honestly the salsa should be free because if we didn't have the salsa, the empanada would be a bit tough to finish. It was quite dry and unflavored. Actually, we didn't finish our empanada. We had to throw a lot of it away. This was one of the more disappointing experiences we had because it took up a lot of room in our stomach that we could have used for different things at Kensington Market. Although we didn't like it, there were a lot of people in here. So give this place a try if you love empanadas.

The empanada had too much dough (very thick) and not enough filling. Both the dough / crust and filling didn't have much flavour. The Chilean Salad was alright but tasted like it was just lettuce with vinegar.

We heard about this place in Kensington Market and were excited after hearing its history, from when it started from a food cart and grew into its own storefront. Maybe the hype got in the way, but quality was average in comparison. Empanadas were reheated in an oven and tasted lukewarm, even flavourless without the salsa (which was extra). Was a nice try, but definitely will not return.

Jumbo, Huge, maybe not gigantic but difficult rely quite large, are the many words I would use to describe the empanadas here. And a good comparison is usually right across the street in this area. I would also say it delicious, hearty, and well balanced. So my partner and I stopped here after going to moo frites on our personal little food adventure. We walked in on a good tour and they had a miniature version of the empanada and humita that are on the menu. We decided to get the same but in the original jumbo size. The server recommended the beef and I asked about the other item and got the humita. The prices here are phenomenal, almost reminds me of growing up and grabbing a beef patty from the corner store for $1. With inflation and increased wages it's incredible that this empanada is only $5. Back to the well balanced part about this beef empanada. There are raisin in here. And normally I'm not a huge fan or raisin in my food, on their own fine, but not with my savoury foods. I had to ask them to identify it, I could have sworn it was a cranberry, olive, or anything but a raisin. Partner corner: it tasted grapey which doesn't make sense. (Dehydrated grape and then rehydrated raisin from the beef juices). I can't believe she could distinguish the taste. Anyways with the egg in there is just delicious. The juiciness of the beef, the egg and the raisin just work. And with the pico de gallo, it add more brightness. The humita as well was this moist delicious corn tamale-like thing. I've never had or heard of a humita so it's probably just it's own thing. It's like a warm corn on the cob but in like a lumpy mash potato form. The texture from the not paste like corn mixture, the sweetness and starchiness of the corn. Again the salsa/pico, works to refresh you palate after having several bites. Partner corner: the humita taste better with the pico, but the empanada you could do without. A fabulous place for cheap filling lunch time meal or just a delectable enjoyment of a larger than normal tasty treat. I will definitely swing by to try other fillings or just to pick up another beef empanada or humita.

Found this Chilean hole-in-the wall place tucked away in kesington market. It's a family run, low-key, cheap eats that's surprisingly very satisfying. Corn pie (5/5) $8.50 - hands down my FAVOURITE dish, I've never had anything like it. The mixture of egg, sweet corns, chicken & ground beef, olives and onions just was the perfect balance of sweet and salty. I loved the sprinkles of raisins within too! Chicken & Beef jumbo empanadas (3.5/5) $4.50 each - the portions were huge, came with salsa on the side, empanada dough was thick & a bit dry, but the meat sauces within definitely made up for it. There was a good amount of meat filling as well, the beef was my personal favourite. Chilean salad (3/5) $5.50 - portion size was big, everything in it was quite standard, but I liked how much avocado they had !

Very cozy and friendly atmosphere. And authentic empanadas! I had chicken empanadas which has black olive and boiled egg inside. So yum and cheap!

So this place is great. I love love love love love their empanadas. After a long Covid Hiatus I happened to be in the hood and could not resist a drop in. While there, my overexcited self also bout the corn pie and a corn tamale and now I have 2 more favourites that I have to pick up on each visit. Their corn pie is what I would describe as their delicious empanadas dissected without the pastry and topped with a corn topping. Like hello? That's is so good. If you like corn you must must must have the corn tamales. You're welcome. Love, my full belly.

How do I rate my first experience with empanadas?? I found it A-OK! For $3.99, my beef empanadas is big and filling!! This place is so busy and it took a long time to get my food... But I wish they warmed up my empanadas a little longer since it was still a little cold inside. The inside of the restaurant is small and cramped.. I can barely slide myself into the chairs.. or maybe I just been eating too much??

That Umbrella Guy @ Jumbo Empanadas. Came in around 7 PM on a Monday night. Compared to some other places in kensington, this place isn't too small, with seating for maybe a dozen or so. Lots of decor, with some spanish show playing on TV in the corner. The washrooms here require key access, and the key is only given to dine-in customers. The person tending the cash called out when I went downstairs and informed me that a key was required, which is pretty nice. There's a very escape-room feel to the basement, with doors that say "DO NOT ENTER" and arrows leading you to the end of the corridor where the washrooms are. Pretty low-lighting as well, so it's really got the game atmosphere going. Hope you're ok with the dark. Prior to entering, I saw the pictures of the empanadas on yelp and was impressed by the size of it, but unfortunately that's about the only thing that impressed me in the end. When I asked about the empanadas, the staff pointed to some racks carrying meat empanadas, opened a fridge or something up and showed us the cheese empanadas, and then opened another fridge with all the corn pies. We ordered a chicken empanada, a vegetable empanada, and a corn pie. After asking whether we wanted sauce on the side or not, she then proceeded to toss them into an oven and served it after a few minutes. She brought over some cutlery as well. The empanadas were quite tough to chew and also quite doughy. Felt like they had been sitting around for awhile. I was kind of expecting something chewier, flakier, hotter, juicer. The chicken empanada came with some pulled chicken, a couple olives, and half a hard-boiled egg. But it was very bland and very dry: The chicken was pretty tasteless. Overall, I wasn't sure what I was eating. I would prefer if it had hot juices inside with a thinner wrap, but I don't know much about empanadas so maybe this is just how they are. The vegetable empanada wasn't that much better either. It came with preserved vegetables, chopped mushrooms, a few olives, and carrot strips. It did have more flavour than the chicken version, but I didn't like the flavours. Not sure if it was the mushrooms that didn't work out for me. The corn pie was a bit better than the empanadas. Definitely had more meat than the chicken empanada and had more flavours that I would expect of beef. There was a lot of corn on top, and a lot of minced meat on the bottom, but it was pretty average to me. Wouldn't try it again. It's definitely a jumbo empanada, but the texture and the flavours didn't do it for me. Is it because I came in the evening? On the bright side, I did enjoy the Soursop nectar that they had in the fridge. Service was also good. But I value food over atmosphere and service and unfortunately the food didn't meet my expectations.

This restaurant was listed as one of the top places to visit in Kensignton Market. Piece of advice... the Jumbo part is real! We tried the chicken, beef and cheese empanadas. All were delicious but my personal favorite is the chicken empanada. If you check it out let me know your favorite!

I have dreams about how good their avocado salad is. Consistently fresh salad composed of butter lettuce, dressed lightly with cilantro and vinegar, topped with slices of ripe avocado, and layered with fresh tomato, onion, and broccoli. I am not lying when I say this is my fave salad in the world. If I am not mistaken, it is also a vegan option - TRY IT PEOPLE!! Ok that was intense, just really in love with this salad :P My fave empanada is the cheese variety (which seems fried but is absolutely delicious), followed closely by the chicken. Their salsa is killer good - super flavorful and a bit spicy! I love to dump a bunch of this into my empanada; flavour overload. This is a must stop for me anytime I visit Kensington Market.

I was expecting to have my mouth blown away with deliciousness...it was not sadly. The empanadas were Home made and reasonably priced but really had very little flavour. I'll try someplace else for empanadas next time

Very cute shop but unfortunately their empanadas aren't that good. I got a beef empanada with salsa ($5.50 + $0.50) and it was pretty bland, though large. There's seating inside and outside.

A family-friendly, homey, inviting atmosphere, but in our opinion, the empanadas are only so-so. Located on Augusta Avenue just north of Baldwin Street, this isn't a big spot in terms of space. But the environment is very welcoming, service is friendly, and lucky for us, on the Friday night we visited, we found a table right away. We walked up and ordered one chicken empanada to try, and within 5 minutes, a server brought it to our table. Overall, in taste it was very average, in size it was massive! The empanada was basically the size of my face! Jumbo? I'll say. However, although there was a generous amount of meat in the pastry, the chicken could have used a lot more seasoning and flavour. It was a bit bland as we continued to bite into it and the pastry wasn't crispy enough for my liking (like a reviewer says below, it tasted like it was frozen and just re-heated). We ended up dousing the bites with spoonfuls of the salsa it came with, to give it the kick it needed, but even then, it ended up being just 'okay.' Overall, there are better spots in the area (and in the GTA) for empanadas which, in my opinion, are even tastier. For one chicken empanada, with tax, we paid a little over $5.00.

I just stopped in here quick to grab a snack for shopping. I got a cheese empanada and it was one of the best I have ever had. Not overly greasy or crunchy, it was just right. The price of $2 probably didn't hurt my opinion either.

This place is small inside, maybe enough seating for about 15 or so. I was with a friend and I ordered 2 empanadas (one chicken and on cheese) and we split them. The chicken was 4.50 and the cheese was 2 bucks. The girl brought the food to our table but the cutlery was at the front which we had to get ourselves. The meat filled empanada was larger and very doughy especially at the corner where it was folded. The cheese one was smaller and thinner and appeared to be fried. Both were ok but honestly I wasn't blown away by them. I like the place inside of Bathurst station better that has samosas as well as empanadas. To me this place is just OK. There are several places in Kensington that seem to serve the same kind of food whether it's this type of thing or Mexican. I can't say this place is great enough for me to want to return.

I love this place! I love how simple and delicious the food here are! The cheese empanadas are always my favourite, a Chilean salad as a side surprisingly completes it for me considering I am a heavy meat eater The meat empanadas are the JUMBO empanadas that are made fresh! Quality is not forgotten here! Fresh dough and fillings are made in house! If you haven't been, come in and grab an empanadas when in Kensington Market

I found the chicken empanadas uninspiring and a bit muted in terms of seasoning. For 50 cents you get a small dish of salsa which was packed full of flavour but lacking in portion. The empanadas was also cool/cold in the middle, even after they had reheated it in the oven. Perhaps it would have been better if it was fresh. The dough surrounding the filling was good except for the thicker end pieces which I found was a bit gummy.

This tiny restaurant delivers the goods! It's quaint, and makes you feel as though you were transported to a seaside town in Chili with the kitsch and personality. I can imagine this is what would serve as a diner in Chili. Comfort food. What makes it even better is that they are licensed and have Amersterdam lager on tap as well as some Chilean wine. The salad is incredible! It looks typical, lettuce topped with avocado... but one bite will tell you that it's not the veggies that will make your taste buds take notice as much as the dressing. The corn pies are tasty as well as the empanadas. Since everything is made with the same basic ingredients either you will like the food here, or your taste lies elsewhere. Prices are reasonable and there is an elevated patio out front overlooking Augusta making this a market destination for many great reasons.

Really delicious cheese empanadas! The crust is really good and flakey. Did not enjoy the beef as much, the flavours weren't as strong and I personally do not like the raisins.

19 reviews and only one person tried something other than the Empanadas here? I'm disappointed in you Yelpers. Maybe it's my fault for being the kind of guy that visits Jerusalem and doesn't go to the Sexateria, but 1 out of 19? Sigh... The empanadas were very tasty but small for the kind of hunger my friend's and I were brewing. We had two corn pies and one veggie empanada for three people and proceeded to inhale our food. I had never heard of corn pie before or the Inca Gold drink I had with it but both were fantastic. Inca Gold is sort of a cross between pineapple juice and cream soda, but better. I haven't had many drinks with more sugar though. My teeth hurt a bit after ward. Corn pie is similar to Shepard's pie in that they both have a solid layer of mashed vegetable on top and meaty goodness hidden underneath. Unlike Shepard's pie (unless you're some type of heathen and put weird stuff in it) Corn pie has a corn topping, black olives, ground beef, pulled chicken, the biggest raisins I've ever seen and a hard boiled egg cut in two. It was really one of the nicest, least fussy meals I've ever had. If you check out JE, do have an empanada but if you don't try something else on the menu you're doing yourself a disservice. I just felt that the other dishes on the menu were under represented and deserved a voice.

This place was pretty awesome, I'm glad I finally got to give it a try. I went with the beef jumbo empanada. She popped it in the oven and it came it oh so warm and fluffy. The empanada itself was fluffy, had a short of sweet hint to it, and the texture was like a dough pretzel. The inside had loads of beef in it, very flavorful and moist. The egg was a nice touch and olive as well. But what surprised me and made this this unforgettable was the radians!!! That sweet hint and chew made this empanada off the chart. Tip on how to eat this, rip off an end if you are taking it to go... pour salsa in and squeeze/shake whatever you got to do to mix it up. And take nice bites!!!!

I was trying to settle who has the best empanadas in town and it was down to this place and El Almacen. This place is a pretty neat shop in Kensington serving up Chilean empanadas where El Almacen serves up Argentinian ones. When you go in there is a menu on the left side and you can see racks of empanadas! They're about 3 times larger than El Alamacen's empanadas. I ordered a beef one and of course a cheese empanada. The cheese empanada is awesome. The skin is golden and crispy and the cheese inside is solid. It's a small empanada and not like their beef empanada. It's about 1/3 the size of the beef one. I cut into the beef empanada and had a forkful. The inside is DELICIOUS and filled with beef, eggs and some raisins! I really liked it. I tried cutting into more of the crust a bit and as much as I liked the crust it was definitely thick and made it slightly dry in certain areas. As much as I like the empanada I have to say that prefer El Almacen. I also had it about 30 minutes previous to coming here so that I had a good taste in my mouth for comparison. Does anyone know if they make the meat filled empanadas with the cheese empanada pastry?

AMAZING!! had a chicken empanada w a side of salsa. Cost me 6.22$ and I was full after. Empanada is a very healthy size and everything about it from the dough to all the insides was absolutely delicious. It is baked which I really appreciated. Dough is crunchy and tastes amazing, almost like a pretzel. Chicken filling was moist and juicy and so flavorful, salsa had great fresh flavour and a nice kick. I had never had empanadas before today but I will most definitely be back. Cannot beat the value and quality this place offers. You can tell everything is made with care and fresh ingredients. I am a fan.

Giant pockets of delicious dough filled with luscious ground beef, egg and roasted onions? Um, yes please! Empanadas from Jumbo are not to be missed. I tried the beef and the vegetarian, which was mostly mushrooms and spinach. But if you go, whatever you do, GET THE CHILEAN SALAD!! Seriously, I could have put my face in this yummy goodness. It's lettuce, tomatoes, onions, broccoli, avocado, and a cilantro and fresh basil dressing that is so good, I was practically rendered speechless. The owner was there chatting with the patrons, and I found the staff to be accommodating and helpful. There's ample seating inside, even though it's a tiny building, and the patio was hopping, minus the swarms of killer bees that are currently inhabiting Toronto. They accept debit cards and cash.

Great staff. Fast service. Amazing flavors. I can't help myself when I walk past this place. I'll go in and just grab an enchilada for my walk home. They taste so good, you should definitely try it if you can.

Enjoyed one of the jumbo beef empanadas from here on their patio, and it was lovely. The lady behind the counter was pleasant, the empanada was only $4.50, and there's a patio!! Tasted some pineapple, olive, and raisins in the empanadas. Great medley of flavours, I would totally come back to try the other items. I saw someone else had ordered the corn pie, and the portion looked huuuuge. I think the corn pie is less than $4. Also saw someone eating the vegetable empanada, which looked impressive as well.

Small place inside. Felt like a fast food joint. We ordered the corn pie and the beef empanada. Both good. Especially the Corn Pie. Super sweet and tasty. Will revisit for sure.

The cheese empanada was to die for. Soft. Warm. Gooey. I can eat them all day, everyday. The beef empanada was so so. I didn't find it that amazing out special.

Tried the chicken and cheese empanadas. The cheese one was about half the size of the chicken. The cheese filling was tasty, but I wish there was more filling inside. The chicken empanada had a flaky crust and a nice creamy filling. This is a great snack spot if you're craving empanadas while walking around Kensington!

Authentic Chilean style empanadas café located in Kensington market. Small outdoor seating area and a few indoor seating area was packed when we visited. A lot of people order empanadas to go. Their empanadas are big and delicious. They offer beef and chicken empanadas, salads and mini empanadas. My husband loves beef ones and we got a few to go. They are somewhat short handed when it's busy, you might have to wait for a while to get your order. But it's all worth the wait. Owner is from chile, and is very friendly.

Cheap price, empanadas were pretty big and delicious. Cozy little restaurant, family run. Kind of hidden location, gotta pay attention when first time there.

I highly recommend on stocking up on any of the empanadas. Beef are my favourites. They freeze well and are a perfect dinner for 1 on a cold Toronto night. Salsa freezes okay too.

The quaint and small Jumbo Empanadas restaurant serves up delicious and, you guessed it, JUMBO Chilean empanadas. These were probably the cleanest, non-greasiest empanadas I've had.

Family owned business for as long as most remember. Absolute true taste of home. We mostly get take out but there is some seating and a patio that does transport you to Chile. Quaint, simple and delicious.

It must be said that the restaurant is a bit of a misnomer. No, the empanadas are not jumbo. They're actually the same exact size as any other empanada that I've had. Second, they are baked. I understand that these are Chilean-style, so they will be different from what I am normally used to, but the flavors just didn't tie too well. We tried the beef empanada, which was composed of a beef mixture, an egg, and some dates. The three fillings just didn't tie well together for us. Especially the egg--there was no reason for the egg being there. In fact, the best thing we tried here was the salsa. But unfortunately, they recently started charging for the salsa separately.

This place is pretty good, its more of a quick bite type of place instead of a sit down restaurant though. The dining area is pretty small and its right across the street from another empanada place. I got the chicken one and it was flavourful and I didn't expect all the ingredients inside of it. Will probably be back if I'm ever in that area again, but I wouldn't outright venture out there for it specifically. If you're close to the place, it's worth a visit :)

By far the best chilena Empenada I have had including south america. Notice the size has shrunk recently and quality is not the same but worth a visit. We Like the Chicken, Beef and cheese.

We ordered several regular sized beef and chicken empanadas as well as the corn pie. We placed our order as take-out and all the items were bagged cold from the refrigerator. They provided heating instructions after we asked, and I assume the same empanadas are reheated in their ovens for the eat-in orders. The empanadas reheated fine, but we found the filling a bit bland. The corn pie also reheated fine and was different than what I had expected. It was more of a cream of corn casserole, but maybe that is how it was supposed to be.
