“ My wife and I had their chicken, beef, guava, and apple empanadas. They were all delicious and the best empanadas we ever had. I met the owner of the brand at the restaurant today and he is awesome. His vibrant energy and passion for his craft and restaurant shows. It was a honor to meet him and talk with him for a bit. We will be back again. Empanada Guy empanadas are the best ever. ”
“ Amazing food!!! we got the beef empanadas and the cream cheese and guava and omg so yummy!! The owner was so nice and caring he was very friendly as well even brought the food to us to our car and even gave us some free stuff to try out. If you haven’t tried this place yet you are truly missing out!!! ”
“ I've been following the empanada guy on facebook for probably 10 years. I'm not even sure why - I've never eaten his food - I'm not sure how I even heard about him. I live outside his area and I do not drive long distances. Still, I keep up to date on the food trucks, check his schedule whenever he posts it and hope and dream that someday I can try one of his empanadas. Anyways, yesterday my husband and daughter went to the chatsworth spring festival and I stayed home with the baby. They came home and husband announces, "I have something for you!" and IT WAS EMPANADAS FROM THE EMPANADA GUY. HE DIDNT EVEN KNOW ABOUT MY LONG STANDING OBSESSION, HE JUST RANDOMLY BROUGHT HOME A PULLED PORK AND A BEEF EMPANADA. They were both everything I ever dreamed of. Thank you Empanada Guy! ”
“ Most festivals have become food truck heaven, and when the New Jersey Devils fan fest included the Empanada Guy I was ready for some flavor. I ordered beef empanadas, and they were even better than I had remembered. Flaky on the outside, and the beef was outrageous. These were delicious. I did not realize he has a restaurant, which will prevent my becoming an empanada food truck groupie. ”
“ I drive by 3 places by me that sell Empanadas, and take the slightly further trip to buy them from here because no one else can compare to his Empanadas. They don't skimp on the meat, which is SO well seasoned! It's flaky while still having this nice chew to the dough. The crab, lobster, and pulled pork empanadas are my favorite! Worth every penny. ”
“ There was a glitch in the "Matrix." The store was closed and the online system took my order anyway. While on the phone, I ran into the owner. After I explained what happened, he tried to refund me out of his own pocket. He then went into the store and gave me Par-fried empanadas. I live 25 minutes away. They were better and hot cooked at home. It was a good compromise. He still has my business! ”
“ Great food as always is having the option to buy frozen empanadas is great. Empanada Guy’s empanadas are USDA certified which is a huge accomplishment for a small business. Also it makes it easy to track calories and be able to eat empanadas and stay healthy. I have nothing but good things to say about this food and the owner. ”
“ I ordered the black beans and rice and 2 beef empanadas. When I tell you the black beans and rice were off the chain, I mean every word. So So delicious!! ”
