Wow the other reviewers are so stingy with their stars! Even great reviews gave them 4 stars! This is a solid 5 star little place. I love these empanadas at Barton or from the freezer at HEB and heated in airfryer. They are well filled, thoughfully seasoned and delicious.

OMG these empanadas are so good! I was able to try the cheeseburger and the spinach and mushroom. Both were delicious but I probably only needed one to be honest. I was so full afterwards. Anyway, if you like empanadas, give these a try! They may not be "typical" but they are worth trying! The only reason I didn't rate mmmpanadas five stars is because they were out of many of the empanadas I wanted to try. I am looking forward to tasting the s'mores and the Argentinean sometime soon!

Solid 3 stars because these empanadas are really just "A-OK". I tried these empanadas at ACL but this time I tried it outside of the Barton Springs Pool. The empanadas we ordered were: Argentinian and the Ham n Cheese. I've had some pretty amazing empanadas in my life so trying these amateur ones from a food truck in Austin were a bit of a disappointment. The only reason why we ordered these was that it was outside of the Barton Springs Pool and we hadn't had breakfast so we were desperate. Would I go back to order these empanadas? Probably not.

California natives trying the mmmpanadas UT campus food truck location! We tried both the chicken chile verde and the soy chorizo/Brie. The warm, flaky crust was perfect on both and the empanadas were filling! The chicken empanada was our favorite, especially because it was a little spicy but not overpoweringly so. Mmmmmm. Not big fans of the soyrizo they used, but we masked the flavor with their delicious chipotle mayo sauce. As chorizo/soy chorizo lovers, the three of us agreed it could be better with a different type of soy chorizo. We'd be willing to come back to try new flavors and their salsa! First timers: you can choose chipotle mayo or salsa for each empanada. So get multiple empanadas and try both! ;)Great price.

The only empanadas I've ever consumed are here at mmmpanadas. That's right. I've never had another empanada anywhere else but mmmpanadas. I've tried nearly all of mmmpanadas empanadas at this point and I've never been disappointed with any of mmmpanadas empanadas. Are mmmpanadas empanadas the best empanadas ever? I have no idea. Regardless, I will give mmmpanadas five stars for their empanadas. There may be better empanadas somewhere else other than mmmpanadas, but I don't know where else they sell empanadas. You may aim to seek out a better empanada then let me know where to go, but until that day comes, I shall only eat mmmpanadas empanadas!

We were very disappointed by the dryness of the empanadas and how little filling was inside. One small slice of ham for a $5 empanada, really?!

Nope. Nope. Nope. The Dudley and Bob show raves about these, so I gave it a chance on 2 separate occasions. I tried the Argentinian... zero flavor. It couldn't have been more average if they tried.Then, I figured "Hey, maybe I got the wrong thing." So, I gave it another chance with Green Chile Chicken and the Cheeseburger. Again... meh. For the price, these are glorified Hot Pockets.

My gosh, these are so filling!! It's like eating an overstuffed pot pie without the sauce. I had the Argentinian and the Green Chile Chicken. Both were excellent!The Argentinian is filled with delicious ground beef, olives, and some diced boiled eggs. If you don't like olives, avoid this like the plague. The olives are quite strong (thankfully I like them). The egg is nice to counter the heavy flavor of the beef and olives. The crust on all their empanadas are crispy and what you would expect from an excellent empanada.The green chile chicken was quite delicious. The shredded chicken inside was decently cooked but maybe a tad bit on the dry side. The chiles weren't spicy and just added some nice flavor to the empanada.All in all, a good place to grab a cheap quick bite to eat.

The service was really quick, and the food was very hot (temperature wise) right off the bat. When I asked the guy how hot the samosa empanada was, he said it wasn't spicy at and that there was barely any spice in it. However when I took a bite into it it was pretty hot, objectively! The empanada in and of itself was good quality, the taste wasn't bad. But each empanada is $5 and for the price i think there should have been a bit more flavorful. The empanada was packed full of potato, but it wasn't as flavorful as expected. Still was pretty good though. Would I come back? yeah, if I was on a time crunch in between classes and needed something fast.

I miss the food trucks, but at least I can get them at HEB and CM. Great lunch dish for small Covid lawn or patio get-togethers. Good from the microwave, best from the oven. My favorite is the black bean, but most folks seem to like the chicken.
