La Empanada Buen Provecho

My friend ordered some empanadas for us and we really enjoyed them. We had the special which had chicharron and potatoes, I had the veggie empanada with cheese, mushrooms, potatoes, corned and some onions I think. We purchased a chicken one for someone else but did not taste it myself so I'm not sure how it actually tastes. We received the empanadas in little time and so service was very fast. The empanadas were warm, crispy, and filling. Such good stuff at a reasonable price of $3.75 each.Only thing is I wouldn't pay much kind to the "outdoor seating" sign on Yelp. There is actually only a small bench and no table so it's not the best place to eat at and more of a grab-and-go spot. Would definitely come back here!

yep, delicious! The sauces are equally yummy with the green cilantro one being the more mild. The red, chipotle, sauce has the perfect heat that creeps up on you. Nailed those!I've tasted a few here and they're all good. The chicken ones tend to be my favorite and offer a nice full stuffing that's hard to beat. I'm coming back again tomorrow... Wouldn't it be yummy to have a beef stew and/or beef with mushroom and onion version? Hint-hint!The service is always alert and friendly and there's there are samples... I skipped the sweet ones 'cause, well you know!Speaking of contrasts, I was a good boy again tonight and ate my room temp oatmeal with berries as usual. But right after this annoying 'empanada itch' developed and rather than let it fester, I decided I had 20 minutes to deal with it. They closed at 10!Now that the balance of my internal universe is complete--the fiber AND the fat--all is good with the world! Normally I offset an unhealthy meal with something later on, but the lightbulb went off and blew my mind: Eat the oatmeal first and then those empanadas! You, Greg, CAN have it all!As you're driving off, one can option my quick cool down method by holding the bag slightly out the window as you drive. That 40 mph wind will fix things up in no time. Just don't film it as I did. I almost lost the bag! lolEnjoy!-G

Best customer service & excellent food!Let's start off with the star of the show, Ray (the owner). He is always greeting all his customers and offering samples of his delicious empanadas. The rest of the staff is also just as friendly.Every items on his menu is delicious but what keeps me coming back is the weekly specials. Makes it always something new to try. Also, the sauces he offers are a must try!This weeks, pumpkin empanada & pulled pork, was amazing. Make your way out to meet Ray & his delicious food once you get a chance!

Ray you are such an awesome host. My first time checking out your truck and you made me feel like we are old friends. I was very excited to try your Empanadas. While I was trying to decide you gave me a nibble of the Coco Poco and a sample of the hibiscus drink. I very much enjoyed these samples. I had to try almost all of them. They all are winners. The chicken was flavorful and had a small bit of spicy. Eating these with the sauces are amazing. I especially like the Coco LOCO. Hands down this place is the best. Menu is limited but worth a drive across town to check it out!!!Ray I wish you the best!!

Was in Fresno for the day and stumbled upon this spot. Better than San Diego empanadas

Not to pile on the stars or anything but I really enjoyed the empanadas as well as the courteous customer service. I tried the chicken, beef, and veggie empanadas and they were all delicious; in order of preference: chicken, veggie, beef.The fillings were well seasoned and not overly salted, and they were perfectly stuffed. For anyone wondering, the beef is ground beef, not shredded, which I am totally happy with. I believe they were deep fried, but I'm not 100% sure... the outside was nice and crispy, they were not soggy at all even after the drive home. Also tried the jamaica (hibiscus) slushy, which was delicious; not super sweet and just a little tart. Will definitely be back!

If I could give this guy 1,000 stars, I would!$3 delicious, amazing, and flavorful empanadas that are made fresh DAILY?! YES!An owner who is passionate about his trade and who could teach big companies a thing (or two) about customer service? YES!A chef who stands by his food and will give you a refund if you don't LOVE it?! YES!Samples that are encouraged?! YES!If you haven't ventured out to La Empanada, you truly are missing out. The empanadas have a fresh, lightly crusted outside with a flavorful inside. We had the beef, chicken, pizza and a sample of the chicken alfredo and dessert empanada, respectively. All were delicious!I was partial to the beef with the cilantro-lime sauce, although it can stand alone without it. The dessert empanada is such a treat and makes me even happier because he makes it by hand! He learned how to make the dessert filling from a French patisserie chef!The truck is out on Fresno and Ashlan, Northeast corner. Service doesn't begin until 8:30PM!! So keep that in mind!! Also, the owner posts very often on their Facebook page, complete with the weekly special :)

Let me tell you this spot is by far my favorite. The owner is so friendly and makes your wait go by fast, he always offers you a sample of his special empananda of the day. Let me add the empanandas are so good, not to mention the sauce. The emapanadas and service are so impressive.

Tried this place for the first time today with my sister. I want to start off with the customer service . I haven't received excellent customer service in so long that I forgot how to act. Right away we were offered samples, then the guy who rang us up took the time to break down the menu for us. Owner was very kind and made me feel like a valued customer! Which happens almost never in my experiences . Overall, awesome customer service from the staff and the empanadas I purchased ( chicken and pastry crème ) were so delicious . Highly recommend! (: and will be back for more

One of my clients loved going to here so I had to try it for myself. Also my friend told me that the empanadas were so good and that the owner was super friendly. Soo I had to go try this place out for myself. And like my friend said, the owner was super welcoming and humble. Honestly treated me like family and I had just met him haha. I couldn't decided which one I wanted so I got one of each. The empanadas were so good My favorite would have to be the chicken! Definitely recommend coming here if you're ever in the mood for some empanadas!
