Lazo Empanadas

Such a quaint place with delicious flavors. Stopped in for a late night bite. I wanted to try the spicy beef but the raisins in it made me reconsider. I decided on the spicy chicken and the chimichurri sauce.The sauce is fresh and has a nice kick. The empanadas were so delicious with a flaky crust. If I could I'd get more to take back on the plane.

Despite its small size, this eatery boasts an impressive array of 12 empanada flavors, masterfully blending sweet and savory elementsThe menu, though limited, is quite varied with unique combinations. Their made-to-order empanadas necessitated a brief wait, but it was definitely worth it.Three expertly crafted sauces complement the offerings: Chimichurri, Red Hot Sauce, and a mild Green Sauce. The green sauce being my favorite.They offer take out, the value for your buck is either the appetizer or regular sizes of packs of 10 or 20 which you can mix and match.Pair your empanadas with a refreshing salad and indulge in a sweet dessert. I recommend the flan. Beverage options encompass Malbec and Chardonnay wines, draft beer, and soft drinks. To optimize efficiency, online ordering is recommended, unless a wait is feasible.

I came here on a weekend during lunch hours when it was empty. I am a huge fan of empanadas and was excited to try some local flavor. I was a bit disappointed how burnt it was on the outside. While I see from others photos it is supposed to be quite baked, some of the empanadas were nearly completely black all around. The size of the empanadas are also quite small. I think the flaky outside contrasts well with a very moist inside. I decided to forgo sauce and I think that was a fine choice as it was already quite messy. The employee recommended the most popular beef. If there was a chicken option or chorizo only option (without the egg and what not) I would go with those. I think I preferred the chorizo one.For the price relative to the size and how filling it was, I think it could be cheaper. It's a bit pricey for a snack. They also gave me a huge bag with no handles and big box that was partially opened for just to small empanadas which was not a very convenient way to port them around. I suppose if you were around after a game and were looking for a unique bite and willing to put some money toward the flavor, it could be worth a shot. I probably won't be returning though.

Found this little treat while sitting in another restaurant eating dinner. We decided to go there for dessert. The menu looks enticing. We ended up getting the chocolate filled empanadas. Next time, we will get a full dinner. It smelled so delicious inside. The staff were helpful and friendly. They have a good take out business. Parking is on the street or in a garage. They have good hour and reasonable prices. Handicap friendly.

I'm not a huge empanada eater but these definitely changed my mind. The crust is slightly flaky and reminds me of a cross between filo dough and pie crust. They serve it so that it's piping hot and crispy. I got one steak and one chicken and both were so flavorful and had a juicy filling. I am surprised at how tender the meat is in their fillings. I would 100% come back for a quick snack on the go.

Delicious food at a reasonable price - came here on a food tour and came back to get some empanadas to take home. The chimi sauce is yummy!

Great empanadas, and great service. The variety was really nice and if you love chimichurri this one is unique and very well done.

My first time here and I've wanted to try them for a while. My first experience was with the person behind the counter. "Do you have specials or is it just by piece?" Her reply: "By piece or we sell them in groups of 10." As I'm placing my order I see that they in-fact do have specials; in this case they are listed as promos. Was a bit irritated but I got over it - just a speed bump. What made me go was the price of a can of coke. Thank goodness it was included in my PROMO. A 12oz can costs $5 (you didn't read that wrong)!! Now the almost 17oz bottle of Coke costs $4. More product for less money ... absolutely doesn't make sense. Their handout menu has a can at $3.00 (that is still high but makes sense). The food ... I ordered the Steak Quesadilla and a Spicy Chicken. You can't tell which is which so we dove right in. I got the queso first it seems. Squirted cheese all over the place. Think of like a thinner nacho cheese sauce and NOT queso in say a quesadilla traditionally. Another speed bump. It was good but messy. The Spicy Chicken was good. Overall the shell was perfect!! I'd come back and try some of the others (Chorizo, Cheese & Egg and the Spinach & Cheese look great. The Nutella and Banana also looks great. Take your time w the menu and don't order a can of soda a la carte.
