Reviews for The Empanda Maker Mission Viejo in Mission Viejo, CA

Love the empanadas. I was sad that this last visit they took off the meat and potato one. They are a little pricey for the size.... You definitely need at least 2 or you'll still be hungry. Read more

Really great food here. I?ve been here many times and they never come up short with the options and variety. It?s a great place... to pick up dinner if you were in a hurry I need something hot and quick. Read more

Used to be better. Changed the menu. My favorites are gone. Too bad. Decent quality. But even the flavors of the beef used... to be better. Had more ingredients. Read more

My wife and I have gone into the store multiple times, but their food truck came to our apartment complex tonight. Not all... empanadas are created equal. These particular ones are always delicious. I had the #1 (Original Chicken) and the #7 (Steak andCheese). The spinach and cheese and the chicken florentine empanadas are great also. It is great for a quick bite or a meal atany time of the day. This is always worth a repeat visit. Read more

Doordash order! Did not go into the shop so I can not comment on it. But the order that we made through the Doordash was... fulfilled very quickly! The empanadas was really good. I love the sweet coconut empanada and the breakfast bacon empanada.Those are definitely my two favorite ones. The other ones also good though! They were still nice and warm when we gotthem. Very recommended! Thank you. Read more

A quick and easy empanada shop that is tasty whether you are in the mood for one or a dozen. They have multiple choices of basic... empanadas and specialty empanadas, as well as dessert empanadas. Don?t forget the sauce too! I recommend the chimichurrisauce. You can take a dozen home with you for your family, or even get ready to bake ones. Not too picky? Grab some ?yesterday?empanadas for more than half off. Read more

Found out about this place from my sister in-law and I?m so glad I did. I love empanada?s and their aren?t too many places that... do them right. The Empanada Maker is delicious and they have so much too choose from. My favorite is the Philly Cheese Steakempanada. You can eat them there or take them home. They also offer take a bake empanada?s. Staff was friendly, place was cleanand you get a lot of food. This is my new stop on the way to Anaheim and back to San Diego! Read more

We had a basketball shoot out at Mission Viejo High School, and this place was across the street. The staff is very helpful and... friendly. The restaurant is clean, has several tables up front and a few booths in the back. The empanadas were a good size;like a good hand pie size, rather than some places that serve the little snack sized appetizers. We have 2 athletes who are bigeaters, so we bought a dozen. A dozen empanadas costs between $29 and about $33 (I think), depending on which ones you get.There are numbers stamped into the pastry so you know which is which. We tried the Ham and Cheese, Four Cheese, Spinach andCheese, Veggie, Chicken Cordon Bleu, and the Beef Pot Roast. They have variety of dippng sauces, and we tried the HouseChimichurri and the Chipotle Ranch sauces. Everything we ate was delicious, and we liked trying different empanada-sauce combos.It was a great lunch, and we definitely recommend this place. We were too full to try their dessert empanadas, but we will begoing back. Read more
