Tasty Empanadas

I'm glad this place has a food truck that came to my work! I got a chicken, cheese and a beef empanadas. The shell is crispy and light, and the fillings hot and delicious l! I also got a tres leches cake. It was a lot of food, so I popped them in the toaster oven and enjoyed them the next day. The ladies at the food truck were nice and helpful. I hope that they come back to the Alexander Bell drive location again soon.

Spotted this when driving past the Circuit Court for Howard County. I had a spinach and a beef empanada (I think I accidentally got chicken). Both had a nice pastry crust and decent amount of filling. I liked the spinach best. The mild sauce was a nice addition too. Customer service was friendly and helpful. I asked questions and each was answered patiently. It looked like a family business. The truck looked clean and the counter was clean. My food was boxed nicely and o got napkins :). I would go back and try other flavors. I wanted the corn casserole but I didn't want cold food. Maybe next time they won't be refrigerated, idk.

*Late night, but not night yet post*So I took the flight (a fun colloquial euphemism for me driving) out to this farm in Maryland for a food truck event.

We went last week to try their empanadas which sounded delicious. Unfortunately their stand in the Clarksville Commons was gone. Not sure they are just a food truck but the stand is no more. Bummed.

The cookieThis was the star of the show. I loved the soft shortbread texture of the cookie with the dulce de leche filled middle and the coconut on the outside. Perfect amount of sweetness, not overpowering at all. #ThisFeedsMySoul Beef Empanada Perfect golden fried outside. Stuffed very well. The beef was dry ok the inside. The sweet relish/salsa that goes with it has enough tang and sweet with the liquid to moisten up the meat. Cheese Excellent amount of cheese inside. I would've loved to have the option to wait and have this empanada made fresh, as it was just warm so no cheese pull. Since all the empanadas were dry, I am not sure if that is the custom for Paraguayan empanadas or if it was because they are kept warm in a warming oven? A little dryer than I like my empanadas, otherwise they were good. The cookie increased the rating to 4 stars. The owner is super nice and very friendly. Love that it's woman owned and made it through the pandemic. I love how she packed the to go box like a mom does...with love, care and considerately packed.

When I tell you I daydream about these empanadas sometimes! I've tried quite a few empanadas and many of them, while having pretty good filling, don't have the type of flakey pastry quality I like. Tasty Empanadas definitely comes through with both amazing filling and an amazing crispy outside!My favorite by far is the cheese empanada. The owner told me that while this empanada is not necessarily authentic, it is a fan favorite among her kids. She blends three or four different cheeses all together resulting in some of the most satisfying cheese pulls you'll ever see. The chicken empanada is really amazing too and seasoned to perfection. I also love how there are options for vegetarians like beans, cheese, and spinach. Each empanada comes with dipping sauces that are super tasty and don't overwhelm the overall flavor of the empanada. I love this place because it is family owned and operated. It's run by a woman who works very hard to make these empanadas fresh every single day and many times you can find her kids working the counter for her. Sometimes they run back to the kitchen to heat up fresh batches and I've read that people get confused by this and think the stall is closed. I, however, think this is a great sign of a restaurant that cares about putting fresh, quality food into the hands of their customers despite maybe being a little understaffed. Don't be dissuaded by the lack of staff at the stall, they usually have a sign up indicating where they are and whether they are closed or not. I don't even live near here but any chance I get, I come by to get my empanada fix. Thank you Lourdes and her team for making these tasty treats!

The service was fast .... I had to repeat my order the young lady wasn't catching it the first time lol but that was ok .... She got it right in the end ....My first experience was a Yelp elite event which left an impression on me that's why I returned and yes I'm still impressed .....I don't know which one is my favorite I'm stumped .... They're all so good

These empanadas were delicious and I am so glad that we finally got to try it them! I have seen post of these tasty empanadas everywhere and now I understand why! We went to the Common Kitchen for another Yelp Elite perk and imagine my surprise when I saw the Tasty Empanadas when I walked in. We ordered a mushroom, beef and carnitas empanada along with two guava desserts. I did think that the guava desserts were going to be empanadas so that was a little disappointing. I loved the vinegar hot sauce, it was perfect with the empanadas. Everything was so flavorful and balanced perfectly. Overall, I would come back to the Common Kitchen solely for this wonderful establishment. Definitely recommend giving Tasty Empanadas a taste.

First time at Tasty Empanadas in Clarksville Kitchen. Ordered a chicken and an apple empanada today and they were great! Very tasty fillings! You gotta try this place!!

Everything was amazing! We were stopping into Sapwood Cellars for a beer and got distracted when we saw the glowing empanadas sign. Naturally we ordered the trio and got beef, cheese, and ham and cheese special. The order came out quick and freshly fried. They were so amazing we ordered another trio of bean, cheese, and chicken and they were the perfect thing to warm us up after a walk in the snow. Customer service was amazing and efficient and I can't wait to come back for some more!
