Lazo Empanadas 16th Mall - Store #2 — Restaurant in Denver

Lazo is a great stop for fast, delicious Empanadas. If you like some heat get the spicy ground beef.

Order: Seven Empeñadas About: $28

Review: We’ve actually been to Lazo’s a few times, and at a few locations, and their always consistently fast and delicious. They have about 12 different empeñadas and while I’m sure all of them are good, they’ll tell you that the spicy ground beef is solidly the best option. Beyond that we have really enjoyed the ground beef (if you don’t like spicy), the chicken caprese, and the spicy chicken.

Each empeñada is pretty small so I eat about 2 for a snack and 5 for a meal. That can get a little pricy at $4 apiece but in my opinion it’s worth it. The flavors are fantastic and there’s hardly any wait at all. I typically get several spicy beef and then just try a few others that I haven’t had before.

The experience and quality have always been the same across all of their locations. The staff is always super friendly and helpful and the food is exceptionally fast and delicious. Almost any time we are in Denver we wind up at a Lazo Empeñada when we want some good quick food but don’t really need a ton to eat. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking...

If you're looking for a quick and delicious bite in Denver, look no further than the empanadas at this restaurant! These empanadas are the real deal - authentic, Argentinean-style treats that will transport your taste buds straight to Buenos Aires.

With a variety of fillings to choose from, it's hard to pick a favorite, but for me the standout is definitely the spice steak. This empanada is a real representation of the Argentinean countryside, with tender beef cooked to perfection and a spicy kick that will leave you wanting more.

Not only is the filling top-notch, but the pastry is also perfectly crispy, making for a satisfying and flavorful experience with every bite. And with speedy service, this restaurant is the perfect choice for a quick lunch or snack on the go.

Overall, if you're in the mood for some of the best empanadas in Denver, don't miss out on this restaurant. With real Argentinean flavors and high-quality ingredients, you won't be...

I really want to give this place a higher rating, but I wouldn’t be telling the truth. Positives include a fairly clean restaurant and they have more options than what I assumed they would. The first con is that the empanadas are overpriced definitely. When I received my spicy beef empanada, it was so small. For $4.25 plus taxes and they asks for you to tip (which I try to do everywhere I go.) it came out to over $7. I felt cheated. I didn’t see the size until I paid and was shocked. When I tasted the empanada, I expected spices and burst of flavors, and it left me feeling disappointed. Please understand, when you say spicy and it’s not at all spicy, I feel like you’re misleading. On top of all this, the workers weren’t very welcoming, not rude per say but definitely not inviting. I feel like Denver has a lot of empanada locations, so maybe shop around and see what other locations...
