So delicious! I highly recommend 10/10 will be back for more. This place is perfect, I love the location and is a great addition to the neighborhood!
The food, everything is delicious. I came with a small group. We got 12 empanadas both the beef (Mendoza and salta), napolitan and the spinach and mozzarella. They were out of chicken or we would have tried that also. We were fighting over the last one! We cut them in half so we could all have a taste of them all and basically couldn’t stop eating! The dough is so light and crispy but still doughy and filled to perfection! We tried a few different sauces the chimichurri was amazing on everything and also the garlic mustard one , the herb sour cream too! Honestly I couldn’t decide which sauce I liked best.
THEN the dessert. We had a few orders of the mini sweet empanadas, unanimously everyone’s favorite was that dolce Leche, and second up we or a split vote between the sweet cream and the chocolate and as far as dipping sauce for the dessert we were also split between the dolce, Leche and the dark chocolate sauce however you cannot go wrong...
Read moreIn Detroit the food scene is becoming increasingly competitive. It's a race to see who can be the freshest and most creative! Empacho is exactly what Detroit needs. It's great food at a greater value! Empanadas for 4.50$ a pop is an incredible bargain. Every sauce is fresh and exciting! My favorite empanada/sauce combo by far is the Chorizo with chimichurri. I also loved the beef salta with criolla and of course the chicken with llawja(yao-wuh) salsa. If you get the chipas (cheese bread balls) get it with llawja...
I came back here and had their ham and cheese as well as their breakfast. It was soooo good as well!! Have the garlic mustard with the ham and cheese and you can have sour cream.
They also have great merchandise and the person who runs it, Camila (I think that's how you spell her name) is more than happy to explain the cultural background info behind everything! I am so freaking excited this place is finally open and am looking forward to seeing what they bring!!! (Stay tuned for events they will be doing with Red Hook Coffee right...
Read moreAwesome, quick, and, ¡muy delicioso!
Got a free empanada by coming in dancing! So already off to a great start. Went with my partner and even though we were together since we were both dancing, we both got free empanadas!!
Now let me tell you about ‘em… Crispy flaky dough, packed with filling that was rich with flavor and love. Added a salsa which helped to give more depth to the flavor and really made the empanadas sing on the pallet. Getting two free Empanadas + economical price for each ($4-$5) = us trying and delighting in 4 different ones (all featured in photos). 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be stopping by and dancing through to enjoy when I’ve got a hankering.
Can’t wait to try the rest of what they have to offer!
Also they staff was very relaxed and welcoming. We also went on a Saturday afternoon round 2ish and it was calm inside. No wait for us to order and we got them within 60...
