10 Empanadas

Empanadas were excellent! I got beef, chicken and osso bucco. All were as advertised in the menu - pastry was cooked nicely and each were filled appropriately. Au jus for the osso bucco was perfect. Price was about as expected for a tourist town in Hawaii. ~ $32 for 5 empanadas. Price goes does per empanada if you order more. For those who aren't familiar, an empanada is about the size of your hand.Service was great. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice and clean dining area which held 4-5 park picnic style tables (bench seating).Highly recommended.

They had me at Empanadas...Though I was craving for a sandwich since I was in Kailua I remembered this new empanadas place formerly occupied by Bee & Tea and I really wanted to visit the many other shops in the area as well it was the perfect place to grab a much needed bite to settle my cravings. Walking into the spacious location they seem to have kept the layout including the gorgeous mural of Kailua that I love and was looking forward to a savory bit of the various empanadas they have to offer.With over a dozen to choose from I had it down to a few choices and decided on #13 Eggplant Parmesan which has all the classic ingredients all wrapped up in the cutest pocket sandwich :) to which the staff asked if I wanted any sauce to accompany it with and suggested their chimichurri sauce for $0.50. As I waited patiently for my empanada which took a few minutes it arrived on an adorable try lined and very simple and minimalistic simple which was nice.They flavor wasn't quite there for me as I couldn't relate it to a Eggplant Parmesan and no there was zero steam, cheese pull or any struggle from being hot as the outside was nice an toasty it wasn't the same on the inside sadly. The chimichurri sauce was amazing and delicious and actually gave life to the lacking flavor of the filling other empanada place does give me the sauce and was sad that this location charges extra for it. I like my filling to be hot especially when there's cheese in it and sadly it disappoint me a bit but the sauce I'd totally recommend to get as it was a yummy burst of flavor.Lovely spot to relax and grab a bite or a simple snack though the restroom are a bit inconvenient as it's a shared spot located in the back but is a great option to have along with some free parking spots shared by other tenants.Thank you!

10 Empanadas found a brick-n-mortar locale on Hekili Street where Bee Tea used to be...RIP.Named after Leo Messi's iconic #10 Argentina shirt number...this is an Argentinean take on the flaky empanada. Vegetarian option are available and quite good. I've had the 8, Fugazetta; 11, Caprese; 14 ( new item ), Mediterranean. The "8" has carmelized onions and mozzarella, parmesean, and cheddar - a cheese lover's delight. What is the "10" - an Osso Bucco empanada.They also have dessert empanadas to include an apple and a nutella version.Street parking on Hekili but I just park in the Kailua Shopping Center lot or the Kailua Town Center lot or the public parking garage across from Longs.On my initial visit, I had an excellent yerba mate.

This place is very tasty!!! And decent turn around! Argentinian empanadas! And #10 for some of the most famous Argentines like Messi and Maradona!!! See amazing jerseys hanging on their wall!Service was friendly ! Staff was happy to help!!We got four !! The two meat ones we love love loved! One of the vegetarian ones was very good, the other - was still good, just less so. It was the corn and cheese one, but I would go back to try all of the other options for sure! The herbal dipping sauces are highly recommended as well!

Today was an empanada kind of day, so, of course, I had to get some from 10 Empanadas. It's been a couple of months since I went there, and I saw on their app that they have a new item; tuna empanadas. I ordered a couple of those, along with some favs, the beef, chicken, fatai, and of course, osso bucco. They were all dairy-free, so my daughter could have her pick without worrying about my granddaughter's dairy allergy. The tuna has a nice flavor and is a bit lighter than the beef or osso bucco. The service was very prompt and friendly, and since I selected the pickup time thru the app, I was in and out in less than a minute. So good and so convenient for a delicious lunch (or dinner), anytime.

Loved this new spot for a lunch date with my husband and son! They have a ton of different flavors so try a bunch. The kind staff will help you with choosing some options. We loved the dessert ones, and I could not get over the beef stew! Even my picky son liked a bunch of their flavors. We will be back! :)

We stumbled across this place in Kailua and ordered 2 empanadas. We ordered 1 Fugazetta which came with caramelized onions and mozarella cheese and their beef empanada. My fave was their Fugazetta one because it was cheesy. The empanada shell was sturdy and outside crust seemed almost like a pie crust. Both empanadas we had were delish!

Lunch in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii...After reading Donna O.'s review, I decided to try 10 Empanadas... to compare my experience with hers... because she had a five-star adventure!At first, the interior was calm and quiet...Then... Gabi (the cashier) turned the lights on...Then... they started playing songs by Al Green...Then... more customers entered the restaurant!I'm glad that I beat the crowd!This was such an excellent atmosphere with beautiful wall mural with Kailua sites: Instagram opportunity with their logo; casual picnic tables and benches; and a pretty tropical welcome bouquet in the corner. Yes, this is a New Small Business!I almost got the buy 10 empanadas, get one free deal, but thought - hey - I can't eat THAT much!So, I got the Mushroom Eggplant, Osso Bucco, and Apple empanadas.Wow...It was like Donna said: the crust is light, not oily, and almost like a cracker. The Mushroom Eggplant was like a pizza flavor - maybe because of the cheese filling. I liked it!The Osso Bucco was delicious by itself, but the sauce that came with it was so good that I wanted to drink it like soup! The sauce really elevated it!Gabi recommended the Apple Empanada, which was yummy, too... that caramelized taste... mmm! ...and the cubed apple filling was nice and firm, not mushy!I didn't want to waste the Osso Bucco sauce, so I got a second round of empanadas:1. Spinach - I thought it would work well with the burgundy sauce; and2. Beef - Gabi recommended the chimichuri sauce to go with it. He was right again! It has a slightly tart flavor. Yum!This was a great foodie experience! I want to return and try the other empanadas... especially after meeting Juan, the owner. He really cares about the quality of the ingredients!Try these empanadas... They're different in a very good way!Note: street parking is free. If there's none, park behind the building or behind the building next door.

If you love Messi and you love empanadas this is the place for you! I was lucky I stopped by during happy hour and all empanadas were half off.They had the Argentina soccer game on with lots of fans, very family friendly place.

Was expecting them a little larger for the price. But overall was good, presentation was nice. Good snack on the go. The spicy sauce could be a little more spicier.
