Issa’s Empanadas

Issa's Empanadas is so much more than just empanadas--this place is an absolute gem! Every single item I ordered was beyond delicious, and the portion sizes were HEFTY. You truly get what you pay for and more.I had the sweet chili lamb chops, Cajun cream pasta with chicken, oxtail empanada, and jerk chicken empanada, and I was blown away by the flavor in every bite. The lamb chops were cooked to absolute perfection--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the sweet chili sauce gave them such a unique and delicious twist. The Cajun cream pasta was rich, creamy, and packed with immense flavor. And the empanadas? Just impeccable. Perfectly crisp, packed with filling, and paired with sauces that elevated them even more.Everything I tried was a hit, and I can't recommend this spot enough. If you're looking for incredible food with bold flavors and generous portions, Issa's is the place to go! You will not be disappointed.

This business is in a really cool shared restaurant space. There are several restaurant vendors that occupy the space that you can buy from. I had the Cajun cream pasta with lamb chops. I haven't had something this good in a very long time. The food was gorgeous. It tasted amazing. The venue was small and cute. They did have indoor seating, but I took my food to go. The woman who attended to me was very nice and was able to shed light on the set up of the miniature food hall. I definitely will be returning.

Best delivery order I have ever received. Care was taken while packaging.Food was very good. Fresh taste and amazing flavor.

Let me tell you something!!!!! Ordered on Uber eats and we wanted to sample everything. I'm super bougie about my empanadas and it was so good. Everything was amazing, even the Mac and cheese!!!!

What Uncle Elroy say? "TASTE SO GOOD, MAKE YOU WANNA SLAP YO MAMA" (Reference to the movie Friday After Next starring Ice Cube) I created an account just to post this review because the food here is AMAZING. I definitely devoured everything before I even thought to snap a picture. Empanadas are a great size, FLAVORFUL and not lacking on the filling at all. The Braised Oxtail Empanada was my favorite and will definitely order it again. Mac & cheese is probably one of the best i've had from a restaurant in this area so far. Rice and beans were perfect and baby the plantains..DELICIOUS and actually sweet. 10/10. 100% Recommend.

The food was very expensive and portions are small... the taste was not that good. The people there are rude.

Omg...this food is amazing and I'm not just saying that. I love the service and the flavor and the amount is just right for one person. The food is right for the price. I don't care. I'm from New York and we love good food. Please keep doing what you are doing. Don't take on more than u can because it changes the quality of the food and I don't want it to change. I usually leave Google reviews but I had to ask my daughter how to find this place(because she has been waiting to try) so I can tell how good this food is . Again OMG

This food is so good! everything is really amazing, the service is top notch, and the environment is real chill and friendly. I really enjoy the entree portions as this business does not hold back and they even provide plant-based options, The empanadas are to die for and provide something different and filling for your taste. It really feels like the food is made with love. My compliments to the chef! Catch this establishments events and specials when you can. The only thing honestly missing from this growing business are options for delivery. I would love a DoorDash option and I think it would be fair to those who don't live in Va. Beach who desire a taste, but other than that I would recommend this restaurant every time.
