The cheese bun bites are the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time. I ate 4 on the drive home. The empanadas are all delicious too, sauces were good. Best to order using an app before you go, and then they will be ready when you get there!

Wow! Tried the empanadas for the first time and theses are terrific. The pastry is light and fluffy and the filling perfectly balanced. The dipping sauces provided were also good. Had the beef chicken and ham and cheese. Would highly recommend stopping by.

We were in the area and decided to go here on a whim and boy were we happy we did! They had so many different options for empanadas but also for sauces. They made all the empanadas fresh which meant we had to wait, but it was definitely worth it. Every single one was packed with flavour and the crust was amazing!

House of Empanadas is an absolute gem! The taste of their empanadas is truly amazing, so fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The quality of the ingredients really stands out, and they offer a wide variety of empanadas to suit every palate, both salty and sweet. I personally adore the beef empanadas; they are absolutely delightful, and I could easily enjoy them every day. The staff and the owner are incredibly friendly and attentive, making every visit a pleasure. These empanadas are perfect for hosting events at your home; my guests always love them and often choose to enjoy the empanadas before trying anything else. It's always a joy to see the delight on their faces when they taste one for the first time. I also love buying their frozen empanadas to keep on hand at home. Whenever I have a craving, I simply bake or air-fry them, and they come out perfect every time. In addition to their amazing empanadas, they offer a few other products that I can't get enough of, their Chimichurri and Bruschetta sauces are fantastic, not just on empanadas but on a variety of meals. And their Dulce de Leche is the perfect sweet ending to any satisfying meal. Trust me, give them a try, they're totally worth it!

I ordered a box of 12 empanadas of various flavours and they were all delicious. My faves so far are the chicken and the pepperoni. Love the box presentation and really appreciate that each flavour is well labeled. Will definitely be back to try the other flavours!

Passed by today and WOW what an amazing find. The empanadas were so fresh, so good, amazing filling and affordable. Delicious, authentic empanadas we tried the beef, cheese and chorizo and the spinach and we are having the Nutella for dessert. My favorite was the beef, my husband loved the cheese and chorizo the most. Will definitely come again!

I knew about this place for a long time and wanted to try it as well. After droning some scenes, I took a bike ride to this colourful establishment. I was welcomed by the friendly owner himself at the take out window. I glanced at the posted menu outside and decided on 2 items:the chicken and the beef empanadas. I also got smoky aioli and chimichurri dipping sauces. They were freshly baked to order and delivered a short time later. Took them home in a pretty box on my bike and as seen in the photo, the pastry was nicely flaky and I shared them with my Latino roommate. We both enjoyed them and will go back to order some more and try new items. I could not resist and took some drone shots as well.

I grew up on Argentinian Empanadas and, before my visit here, have never found any place that makes them like Ive had in my home. Here youre getting the exact flavour and quality youd get in Argentina. The fillings, when moving away from the tradional beef, did not get silly or gimmicky - in fact, they were just as good as the traditional beef ones. If you're looking for an example of a quality empanada in the city - you've found your spot.
