Reviews for Rocky's Empanadas in Redmond, WA
I got the steak and chicken empanadas and they were good but had similar ingredients for both so other than the difference in... meat, they tasted the same. The real star of the show is the house made chimichurri sauce which was divine and very chunky. Iwish they made bottles/jars to go. I also saw a lot of reviews for their banana dulce de leche empanadas however it is nolonger being offered which was a disappointment. There is no indoor seating to eat so plan to eat it at home and do not attemptto eat the chimichurri sauce in your car, it will go everywhere. Read more
I think I got overly excited to try this place that I was slightly disappointed. It's not bad but each one seemed to be... missing something. Pet friendly: no Family friendly: no, this is to-go only Parking: shared commercial strip mall lot FOOD (inorder of preference): Normally I dont do an overall description but since every items are the same... such as the dough andtype of cooking method, i thought why not. The pastry is a little sweet which i'm not sure if this is common in Argentinianempanadas but not too bad. Each pastry is baked, not fried so there is a nice crunch but not crispy. Nothing beats fried LOL Everything is baked then put in a container (in my case it was a small pizza box since I ordered so many) where it kind ofsteams. Its a little unfortunate because it made the bottom of each pastry kind of soggy. You should make sure to leave thepastry to "dry" this will make sure the pastry isnt as wet as well as the cheese fat to solidify. IF YOU DONT, hot juice/oilwill shoot out LOL 1. Ham & Cheese $3.50 (A blend of cheese and ham): I would like to say I dont like ham... so i'm not surewhat it say about the overall quality that of all the others compare to ham. But I like to think its a good mix of ham and verycheesiness that i like it so much. 2. Mushroom & Cheese $3.50 (sauteed white mushrooms and green onion with spices and blendof 5 cheeses): My husband thought it was sweet while I thought it was salty ::shrug:: It was very wet though. The mushroomswere in large chunks and not overly cooked which is a huge plus. 3. Caprese $3.50 (roasted tomatoes, basil, and cheese blend): I really liked this because how simple it is... actually probably like the first two so much. Taste like a nice mini pizza(when the pastry wasnt so soggy). 4. Sirloin Steak $3.75 (Chimichurri-marinated sirloin steak, slowly cooked, with onion andgarlic): The steak is in large chunks which is nice but i'm not sure if i'm a fan of the chimichurri marin Read more
Tried the Mushroom and Cheese, and Grilled Chicken empanadas. Both were very good but the Mushroom and Cheese was better in my... opinion. Would definitely come here again. They have a really small menu so I?m curious to try the other ones! Thanks to mygirlfriend for scouting out this place. Read more
They taste so good and are a lifesaver. The Redmond business area is a food desert if your commuting by foot. Give this place a... try, I loved the mushroom/cheese but you can't go wrong. It takes 10-15 minutes for your order to be ready but it is worth thewait and they are best fresh. Read more
Their chimichurri sauce is my favorite! We tried chicken and beef empanadas and both were good. Will visit again to try their... vegetarian options. They serve hot, and take ~15 mins to make. Place your pickup order so that you don't have to wait. Read more
Great place for takeout. Great choice of empanadas. Both the meat and vegetarian(!) options are good. Family run. $3 to $3.50 /... each. Two make a good lunch. I like the traditional meat (ground beef) and the Caprese (veg, cheese, tomato). Read more
Delicious and affordable Argentine style empanadas made-to-order. We didn't order ahead of time but it only took 15 minutes from... placing our order to scalding our mouths with juicy, flavorful empanadas. Definitely recommend the spicy chimichurri sauce. Read more
They bake it fresh so be prepared to wait 15 minutes after your order or call in advance. Their classic beef was amazing. We... were craving baked empanadas after a recent trip to PR and this totally crushed it. Also had the steak empanadas but wasn't asawesome as the classic. Didn't care much for the chimichurri dipping; the empanada was good by itself. Going again soon! Read more
