I had 3 vegan empanadas. Vegan Beef, Kale and Mushroom, and Potato Knish. The pastry was good on all of these. Vegan Beef had the most flavorful filling, and I actually really liked the Potato Knish (very fluffy, tasty potatoes). The Kale and Mushroom was fine, though nothing to write home about. None of these were spicy. I was not crazy about the chimichurri sauce.The problem here is that these empanadas are fairly small, and all 3 + some chimichurri sauce put me over $15 (no drink). For $15 I feel like I should walk out of any street food-type restaurant feeling full, preferably with some leftovers. Oh well.I probably would not eat here again, but the food wasn't bad. Always glad to have vegan options, but I also don't want to have to spend $20+ just to get a full meal at a place like this.

Get the Empachori empanada! So delicious!! I have been in Raleigh for a few days and I have already eaten here 3 times. When we got to the hotel for my son's baseball tournament, I looked for restaurants near me and luckily Che Empanadas popped up 10 minutes away. I'm Argentinian so I obviously ignored all other restaurants and drove there. It's in a dining hall (Transfer Co. Food Hall) which is cool and the ambiance is hip and fun but it's not obvious when you drive up there that it's in there. Coincidentally this has happened to me before with an empanada place in San Diego. It's a cool place and great if you're going with people who aren't sure they like Argentinian empanadas, they can find something elsewhere...until they try yours and want their own. The first time we went, my son had the brisket empanada and I had humita (corn) and ham and cheese. They were good but Argentine cuisine is not spicy and the ham and cheese one was a tiny bit spicy so I didn't finish it. While we were eating I saw the Empachori special empanada on a charlkboard display. Argentine chorizo is unlike any other and choripán (the chorizo [sausage] in crusty bread with chimichurri) is a classic. I have never seen anyone make an empanada with Argentine chorizo so I had to try it. My son and I split it due being almost full. It was AMAZING. The cheese and grilled onions and chimichurri flavor combination with the chorizo is one of the best things I've eaten. It is what made me come back 2 other times during our trip. My son loved the brisket one too, he got one of each on our subsequent trips, I got 2 Empachori. I will say that the second time we went it was a little less juicy than the 1st and 3rd time, but still good. We also got the Pastelitos de Dulce de leche each time (warm pastry with delicious dulce de leche and walnuts inside), highly recommend. 2 empanadas and 1 of those should fill any stomach to capacity. The service is great too. If we are ever back in Raleigh we will definitely be back to this spot. **also I'm guessing that they have to make their own Argentine chorizo because it's not just something you can find in a store, so props to them for doing a great job with it. My husband and I make our own chorizo and ours doesn't turn out this good.

One of the nice spots for variety in the food hall. The people were very nice. They had some "different" flavors, which was cool to try. Recommend if you want something different.

I ordered 2 surprise bags of empanadas through the too good to go app. They are located inside transfer food hall and had them ready for pickup when I arrived and checked in. I wasn't sure if they were going to be hot, cold, or frozen. They were cold and I assume from whatever didn't sell the day before. Pretty good but disappointed we didn't get any sweet goodies. I really enjoyed the mushroom one (my husband didn't) and my husband and I both liked the sweet beef/sweet meat? There was an awesome spicy pepper and meat filled one we both loved and a sweet meatball one which was great as well. My daughter really enjoyed the spinach and cheese one.

You got to check in via Yelp to get 20% off your first order. I think I was the first one to use it since the friendly cashier didn't know how to honor it, she ended up saying she'll just give me the discount though she thought a QR code needed to be scanned. This place is one of many stalls within a building. The ambiance of the entire place was hip, trendy, lively on a Sunday noon. Ordered 5 kinds of empanadas to go: carne, Jamon y queso (ham and cheese), kale and mushroom, pollo (chicken) and Al limon (with lemon). You can pick to get chimichurri or habanero sauce, I got the former. I had to wait for 3 hours when I got back home to VA Beach before I could try these empanadas but boy, they were worth the long drive! Every flavor was delicious! Love the chimichurri sauce! Packaging for to go was in a box made of egg carton material, kept them warm!

We were hungry for a little late breakfast and decided to stop in at transfer food hall. The ambiance was cool and casual. We ordered the ham and cheese & brisket empanadas. And for a side of sweetness, we ordered a guava and cheese empanada. The service was great. They explain the choices and are extremely quick with their delivery of food. The empanadas were flaky, warm and delicious. Plenty of filling and flavor! I absolutely loved the cubano. The guava and cheese filling brought back childhood memories. I would highly recommend trying it. The brisket was good and the ham and cheese was quite tasty. Overall, I would recommend stopping in and trying something different. You won't be disappointed.

Awesome empanadas! I received multiple flavors through the TooGoodToGo app, and despite coming to the shop to get "surprise" empanadas, I was blown away by all of them.Pictured below includes the ham and cheese, potato, spinach and feta, and a sweet meat.I loved them all!

I should have checked in on Yelp first!! I thought this was a little pricey but the sweet beef empanada was tasty. Soft flakey crust with a flavorful savory filling.

I just had my first empanada from CHE at Duraleigh Corners. It was amazing!!I had the corn and the guava and cheese. This is the best lunch I have had all year. The pastry was flaky and delicious and I have to say they were both delicious. New favorite place. You HAVE to try them.
