I was really excited for these empanadas but not going to lie they were so mid. I got the curried vegetable empanada and the shrimp empanada. The curry vegetable was flavorless and fell flat.The shrimp one was really crispy but the shrimp was overdone and super chewy. Not a fan.The service was really sweet and the place itself is really clean and white and bright.

My BF and I ordered 5-6 types to try. Our fav were the salteño (beef) and shrimp. The staff recommend it baked and it was sooo flavorful and flaky. It's very affordable and we like to try many flavors. we will go here again when we are near the area. plenty of parking, free water, nice decor. I would go with 4 people max if you want to dine in since the place is fairly small. they might have about 6-8 tables.

Had a craving for empanadas and gave this spot a try. I was surprised how clean the place is and service was great as well. I ordered 2 of each of the following: Onion cheese, corn, spinach and cheese, beef, saltena, Mediterranean, and chicken. All of them exceeded my expectations. They do not skimp on the fillings, nice flakey crust and flavor is on point, not overly salty at all. Would definitely recommend to give it a try. Yummy!

Ordered at the counter and they whipped them up fresh in about 15 minutes. Still piping hot after another 15 minutes in the car. My favorites were the Soltado and the Shrimp ! Don't forget dessert! the raisin ricotta hit the spotta

Service was great and friendly. The food was ok but no amazing moments. Very large for what you pay. However other similar places are a little better - like the one on Westheimer.

Cute, boutique space. Had the Hawaiian, Saltena and Mediterranean beef empanadas today. Uh-mazing! Close to our neighborhood - we like this place.

I had lunch at the Emapanda Factory in Cypress today (Barker Cypress/Queenston) and it was great! I tried 3 baked empanadas - spinach and cheese, curry chicken vegetable, and the saltena. The dough was light and flaky and the filling was delicious on each of them, but the saltena was my favorite. They have a great lunch special as well - 3 empanadas with a soda for $8.95.

Pop in pop out kind of ordering. I like the concept along with a couple tables for seating in case you can't wait to eat. I ordered 4 different empanadas. They were pretty good but in my opinion a bit on the pricey side. I haven't craved them since going there so perhaps I wasn't that impressed. Will go back in the fall or winter when I normally eat this type of heavy foods.

They are very yummy. I recommended the dulce de leche and the shrimp. Ready in 10 minutes fresh.

Ordered through Uber. The first time I ate in the store and the dessert Nutella empanada - the Nutella got burnt (part of it). This time I ordered it again and the Nutella empanada leaked all over the bag, both take out containers, and the other sweet empanada (pineapple and cream cheese(?)) had broken. The top of it had collapsed. So they may not know how to fry/bake the sweet empanadas with a tight seal on the dough. The flavors are still good as long as the chocolate and Nutella don't get burnt. Staff may want to consider wrapping each empanada for take-out orders in parchment or thin aluminum sheets. That way they'll travel better. Overall, they were all still tasty, but with take-out, significantly messier. Took my 4 star rating down to a 3 star rating.
