Empanada Kitchen

Was in town in January and stopped by while on my way to another food place. Tried the chicken and beef empanadas. They have letters on the empanadas so you can identify them, which is very helpful when you are ordering a variety. The empanadas were so good. They had a lot of meat in the filling and it was moist and tasty! The dough was fresh and not too heavy and doughy. They were both juicy and full of flavor. The woman, whom I thought may be the owner, said they import the flour. She was very informative, helpful, and friendly. She also offered me a free Alfajor Chocolate to try. It was light and sweet. There's seating indoors. It's bright and clean. If I lived in the area, I'm sure I'd be a regular. It's the perfect snack to have.

Food is delicious. I recommend getting takeout. You can order online. They have a small parking lot with 2 spots for 15 minute pickup. The parking lot is tight. I wouldn't recommend going in with a full size truck/suv. It's a shared, small lot so I wouldn't go in there expecting to find parking.No bathrooms. Staff is nice & friendly.My elementary aged kids ate 2 each. I had 3 but probably could've easily eaten 4.

I stumbled upon this little gem in San Diego, and their "yes we have empanadas" sign on the street gave me a good laugh before I even stepped inside.Following their recommendation, I tried the corn and basil empanadas, and they were a real treat. The crust was wonderfully flaky, and the corn inside was sweet and bursting with flavor. It was an amazing combination that left me eager to return for more.They offered regular and spicy chimichurri sauce, although I must admit it didn't add much to the empanada I had, but I can see it being a great complement to other menu items. If you're in the mood for some delightful empanadas, Empanada Kitchen is definitely worth a visit!

Gotta be honest... they may have the best empanadas in San Diego. The place is clean, food is amazing and the staff are really helpful. Parking sucks though- look at street parking for sure.

We have ordered from here several times. We finally made it to Empanada Kitchen! So if we have ordered a lot then you should deduce the empanadas are delicious and filling! Typically we get the beef and an apple. You cannot go wrong with those choices!! The location is small and cute! Love the colors and the staff are a delight to talk to. My son is a huge fan and wants the beef every time we order!Come by or order from one of the delivery services! You will not be disappointed!!Oh would have taken pictures of the empanadas it they were eaten! Go do yourself a favor and enjoy some empanadas!!

Empanada Kitchen is a charming little spot with minimal seating, making it perfect for grabbing a delicious meal on the go. I tried the chicken, ham and cheese, and the special spicy beef empanadas. Each one was bursting with flavor, but the spicy beef stood out as my favorite. The server was kind and friendly, adding to the pleasant experience. I will definitely be returning, especially when I'm at Pure Project next door. Highly recommended for a quick, tasty bite!

I revisited this establishment, and I'm delighted to find that the ambiance has remained unchanged, preserving its unique charm. This time, I decided to sample their corn and basil empanadas as well as the chicken empanadas, both of which were accompanied by the traditional chimichurri sauce. To my delight, every bite was a burst of wonderful flavors. It's reassuring to see that my previous experience was merely an outlier, as this time the empanadas were truly outstanding. I plan to make this a regular dining spot in the future.I must commend Erik for his exceptional service; he ensured that we were well taken care of throughout our visit.

What a great place to get empanadas love the ham and cheese, the apple, the spinach and cheese to name a few, they are from Argentina and love the alfojores as well. Come check them out so delicious and friendly staff, they have multiple locations but I went to the one In North Park.

Went in at 7pm and they were only out of the special and bacon & egg empanadas. The 3 empanadas special is decent for a little bit of savings. There is a small lot but I never see parking as it's shared with a few businesses. Street parking is available but due to its location, you might drive around a bit. If I wanted to eat empanadas just for dinner by myself, three were good enough. The person working wasn't the friendliest but they were out outwardly rude. It's a cute spot with some seating inside and they also sell some beer to enjoy when you dine in. I got the Lamb, Beef, and Mushroom & Goat Cheese. Lamb was the best as it was the most flavorful and the meat was very tender. Beef is next and it had a tad sweetness from the onions. I love mushrooms but this was meh. The mushrooms were chopped really big and I ended up with no filling after a few bites. Wouldn't order that one again, but I would definitely order the lamb next time.
