Family, friends, and cuisine - specifically, Mexican empanadas and tamales - are all important at The Empanada Shop. Ruben Frias grew raised in Monterrey, Mexico, creating the same meals with his Abue…
Decent size empanadas and tamales at a reasonable price. I enjoyed all of em. Sauces were also pretty damn good as well. Empanadas were crispy and flaky on the outside and packed with a generous amount of stuffing. Tamalas were warm and soft, not too dry. I've been passing this place going down Artesia for a while now. I wish i would have stopped in sooner. Definitely stopping by next time I'm in the area

Every thing was beyond amazing!!!! I was a little disappointed at the pricey of some the food I bought during my trip and how underwhelming it was but this was definitely worth it!!! Every penny! The chocolate one is so rich but not bitter or too sweet. The dough is perfect on every single one. Not dry or dripping everywhere I will be coming back !

I have eaten here probably ~50 times and I keep coming back for more. A single Empanada is decently sized, probably 2-3 make up an average meal depending on your appetite.
Nearly every one I've eaten is good, but I especially recommend the Birria Beef Empanada,the Chicken Ancho Empanada, and the Potato Rajas Empanada. The only ones I don't recommend are the spinach and the lentil ones, but I'm also not a big fan of lentils generally, so it might fit your tastes if you are. Also their Chicken Mole ones are good but weird, they don't taste like any Chicken Mole I've ever tasted but they are still tasty.

Everything I have eaten here has been delicious but my favorites have to be the Chipotle Chicken Empanada, Chicken Ancho Empanada, Picadillo Beef Empanada and the Shredded Brisket Taco. Very flavorful, meat is always juicy and tender...my favorite lunch spot on DoorDash. And my family are of the same opinion that the food here is fantastic.

the Choriizo & Potato Empanada the potato was still hard and undercooked. my favorite one was the Picadillo Beef Empanada and Chicken Ancho Empanada. charging for salsa when the cups are pretty small and half way filled, not sure how I feel about that.
