Nonna's Empanadas - 3rd Street

Crisp and flaky crust, delicious fillings, and all of the empanadas are stamped on top with what they're filled with so no one can complain that they got the wrong flavor! The service at the West 3rd Street location is fast, friendly, and the restaurant itself is clean and organized. It's a nice place to get a handy snack to go.

I ordered a dozen empanadas and let me tell you, every single one of them was delicious. Parking is a bit of a challenge, but it was totally worth it.

Empanada 3 pack / carnitas, filipino beef, chicken + jalapeno - 5 stars! House made spicy chimichurri - 5 stars! Nonna's Empanadas started on 3rd street but a few years ago they left their original location and moved down the street to a larger and more spacious shop. It suits them very well. The new space has a big counter for displaying all their wonderful, delicious hand-made empanadas. I love how many options they have. I had to limit myself to three and it was very tough to choose. Each empanada was tasty and packed with filling. Their flaky dough is awesome. I love that they stamp the top with the flavor name. I kind of want to set aside a day to sample every single flavor. I don't know if that is a good or bad idea though. Probably a bad idea for my stomach would be my guess. Do not forget to ask for their house-made chimichurri! They have mild and spicy. You could put this on almost anything and it would elevate the meal. Fair warning - parking is a bit of a challenge for this location but be patient and circle around the block and you'll be rewarded with a spot.

I'm in town visiting for the weekend and missed my anniversary, my husband called and ordered coffee and empanadas to have them delivered to me as a surprise. The barista went above and beyond and made a hand written "Happy Anniversary" card to include in the delivery. I am so impressed with their customer service and the food was delicious! Thank you!

When you do one thing, you can master it. Nonna's has done just that ... mastered the empanada! Such a great variety of of excellent flavors, both savory and sweet. Cheesesteak, Mac & cheese, samosa, mushroom, shrimp, Nutella, banana, and so many more. All are excellent!! Great prices, too!

So I haven’t had empanadas in a long time, so I was in the neighborhood so I stopped in and I would have to say there is a variety of options. Plenty vegetarian chicken pescatarian all the above I took and ordered the chicken Alfredo which I would say was decent now the Samsoa was delicious I wash the water different dipping options

Licy was such a pleasure. I walked in and she greeted me with a smile. While she was getting my empanadas ready, we were having such a lovely conversation. We need more people like Licy in this world!

My most favorite empanadas shop. I was walking from Rodeo to Beverly Center when I found this and of course I couldn't skip it. My most favorite are with chicken and philly steak. inside its very spacious and they even can warm your empanadas so you can eat there also they offer chimichuri sauce if you want non spicy just ask for one. Perfect bite on the go and they are not dry. chicken was very juicy.
