Got the chicken empanada and it was very juicy and hot. I love that the empanada used chunks of chicken pieces instead of ground... chicken. Super tasty Read more
I was looking for a high carb Latin American/Argentinian dinner before a race, so Mi Empanada intrigued me. I tried the beef... empanada, chicken empanada, peaches and cream empanada, polenta, Spanish rice, and a meringue alfajor. Everything was verytasty. I have to say the flavor of the food is improved by 2 or 3 fold if you microwave it after getting pickup. The beefempanada also has some pancetta and olives. It was juicy and flavorful. It goes very well with side dipping sauce, which isoily, garlicky, and full of herbs. The chicken empanada was also pretty good. The meat is tender and seasoned well. It's not toofatty nor too tough. The peaches and cream empanadas are so heavenly when heated. Peaches are fresh and vibrant. The cream issweet and delicate, just incredible. Easily my favorite part of the meal. All the empanadas have a flaky shell that is a bitthick. It's quite different from the Venezuelan empanadas I have tried, but still great. The empanadas from Mi Empanada are moreexpensive for the portion but they are very tasty. Their sides are also great and the portions are quite good for the price.I'd recommend the polenta over the Spanish rice, since the latter is a bit blander. The polenta is buttery and rich, so youcan't taste the grains. Their tomato sauce is excellent and flavorful. The rice is definitely better than any store boughtoption. Some tomatoes, peppers, and seasoning, but still pretty standard. I really enjoyed their imported alfajor. It's quitelarge for $3, and the dulce de leche inside is on point! So good. All in all, I would definitely recommend trying this placeout. They have some unique imports, delicious empanadas, and pretty good sides. Portions might be a bit small for the empanadas,but the flavors make them worth the price. Read more

UPDATE per owner?s response: Your shocking recriminating response causes me to reduce my rating to one star. 1. Read my review... again. It?s flavors that need to be incorporated NOT the sauce itself. 2. From at least two visits, they?re okay but I repeat,I find the empanadas missing a distinctive taste. I am not convinced what makes it Argentinian. Although good, they arenon-discrete flavors. To be frank, they taste more like Cornish pasty than South American empanadas I?ve ever tasted. 3. I amvery very very informed (culturally and gustatorily) about empanadas, be it the Castellano original or the different SouthAmerican varieties (Chileno, Venezolano, Colombiano, Ecuatoriano, Argentino), from the dessert to the snack to the mealversions. 4. CONTRARY to your uncalled assertion, I do have very sophisticated palate. I have dined in highly sophisticatedplaces/homes/estates/establishments in many countries you may only imagine. 5. Further, there is nothing in my review aboutdelight/advocacy of sugary food. I don?t do sugar as a matter of fact! 6. Additionally, IF you don?t know what spices are andwhat they bring to food, THEN you need to ask yourself if you should be in the food industry. AGAIN, your empanadas are okaybut I don?t taste anything distinctively regional about them. That?s what MY palate says! Let?s just say your it?s your versionof empanada. ?Sophisticated? (whatever your definition is) or not, CONSIDER: Successful restauranteurs take criticisms wellinstead of resorting to recriminating statements as you have posted here. ?? ORIGINAL REVIEW Okay empanadas, and havepotential to be excellent IF AND ONLY IF there?s better attention to flavor. Empanada, whether from its origins in Galicia todifferent countries en Suda America, has distinctive flavors and takes. Herbs and spices (and other additions like eggs onionschives) make the difference. Here, the meat empanadas (chicken, lamb and beef) are good snacks. The dough is crisp and Read more
