I came here two times in one evening because their empanadas are so fire! Things you should know:I. PARKING Within liberty station, so there's various, free parking lots surrounding the building. II. SERVICE TimelyIII. QUALITYI wish I had bought a jar of their signature sauce before I left San Diego because wow.. so much flavor! Our favorite Empanada was the Malbec Beef! Had to get more than one. IV. CAPACITY There wasn't much of a line the two times we came on a Sunday evening. Probably because they're so efficient.

You can never go wrong with empanadas and these never miss. They have an extensive menu of unique and traditional empanadas, packed with filling and great sauce options.This was by far the longest line at the public market, and I'm not sure why since all the empanadas are ready and kept hot, even just getting the two empanadas took them a minute to put in the bag and hand to us. It's a great appetizer to get if you go to the public market, they just need to speed up their orders

This is one of my favorite spots in San Diego! I love Parana, and have been to both their UTC and Liberty Station locations. Their empanadas are decently sized and the chimichurri sauces are delightful. You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors here--some of my favorites are the Malbec beef, chicken chipotle, rajas, and the spinach. I have ordered online and they keep them warm so when you pick them up it is piping hot. Both of the locations I have been to are small stands and the staff is very friendly. I've also worked with them to place a large catering order and they are quick to respond. It's a casual grab and go, and I can't wait until my next round of empanadas!

Great service from Angela and her associate. I'm back in town for a short visit and stopped by. They have a buy 4, get 1 free bacon special. They also have a buy 12 special discount. So great time to come eat some empanadas for a great price. I got 4+4+4 with 2 free bacons. Angela printed out a label of each bag's empanadas so I know who they're for. The package was very neat and tidy. It's early in the morning so the place is on quieter side. It'll get packed later on from past experience.

Empanadas: Pockets of happiness since 100 BC!Empanadas are a traditional South American dish that have been around for centuries. They can be filled with a variety of different ingredients, including meats, cheeses, fruits, and vegetables. It's *the* hot pocket before Hot Pockets became a thing!I ordered the Rajas, Cheeseburger, and Chicken Chipotle empanadas with the three sauces [chimichurri, chipotle chimichurri, and creamy green olive] to take to the airport with us. In our haste, we left the sauces in the hotel. Oops. Regardless, the empanadas were so good, even had traveled 354 miles on a one-hour flight to Phoenix. I think the cheeseburger was my favorite, but the rajas was a close contender. I wish I had the opportunity to try them with the sauce, especially since I'm a big chimichurri lover and the creamy green olive sounded interesting.Come visit Paraná! You won't regret it.

My boyfriend and I split 3 empanadas: Jackfruit, Chipotle Chicken and Mushrooms. Surprisingly, the chipotle chicken was both of our least favorite of the three. I loved the jackfruit, but I think I'd have to say mushrooms was my favorite. Lots of flavor in both of them and I would happily get them again. The biggest downfall, in my opinion, was how thick the empanada dough was. I ended up just ripping some of it off of every bite because there was too much for me. I was also very happy with the quick service I received. The girl I chatted with for a bit was bubbly and fun and made me feel good about eating there. I would give this place 3.5 stars, but I'm going to round to 4. Worth eating again if I'm at Liberty Station, but I wouldn't go out of my way to drive over and get them.

I don't make it to Liberty Public Market often been when I do this spot is a MUST stop by spot for me. The prices are great considering how much filling is in each empanada and I love the variety of flavors they have to pick from. There is typically a line but it does go by fast this time around I did the 3 empanadas from $10.85 I think? This spot is towards the back side of the Public Market if you are entering from the front grass patio area. But always a must stop for me, this time I got the chipotle chicken and both beef flavored ones. So good and filling!

Quick service, great quality. What's better than having a delicious empanada in hand while you walk around liberty station? I love that there are several options to choose from. I ordered the Rajas and Jackfruit empanadas. Paired with their different sauces and my goodness was it divine! The store is located within the Public Market but they make their presence known with beautiful white and blue decor. Definitely recommend to anyone who visits Liberty Station.

Amazing empanadas they are flavorful and juicy. The green sauce is a great topping to add and it's not slide my for the people who don't like spice. When you walk up to the stand the staff is welcoming and happy to answer any questions about the empanadas They also offer soda to go along with your empanadas The reason I didn't give this establishment 5 stars is because even thought they are flavorful I have had better empanadas. I prefer empanadas that also have egg inside. This is just a personal preference but it add to the flavor. This is still a great place to stop if you are in the area
