Empanada Stop — Restaurant in Gresham

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit Gem – PDX Empanada Stop is Next Level!

I had one of the best lunch experiences ever at PDX Empanada Stop, and I can’t stop thinking about it! From the food to the service, everything was top-tier. And let me tell you—Sir Tony knows how to take care of you!

Here’s what made this spot unforgettable:

🥪 Ahi Tuna Sandwich – This isn’t your average sandwich. The ahi tuna was perfectly seared with a beautiful rare center, stacked on soft ciabatta with fresh slaw and vibrant toppings. Every bite was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The house-made chips and pickles on the side? Game changer.

🥟 Empanada – Crispy, golden, and absolutely delicious. I had it with two dipping sauces—one zesty and the other herb-forward and savory. You can tell these are handmade with love and care. It’s what they’re known for, and it shows.

🍨 Dessert – A smooth scoop of vanilla ice cream with chocolate drizzle paired with a piece of baklava. Light, sweet, and the perfect end to the meal. Small touch, big impact.

💯 Why you should go: Amazing food, awesome variety, and a true sense of hospitality. Sir Tony made sure the experience was more than just a meal—it was memorable. The attention to detail, flavor, and presentation truly stands out.

First off I love this place! I just discovered it a few weeks ago and have been back several times with friends in tow. Honestly, it is one of the best places to eat in Gresham. My first time I met one of the owners, Tony, and tried the Chicken Club and an empanada. Tony makes sure every customer's experience there is the best possible and all of the food is made fresh. Just about every other restaurant you go to overcooks chicken and makes it tough and stringy. Not here, the chicken in my sandwich was perfectly cooked and juicy. Easily the best Chicken Club I have ever had. The portions are generous, so I ate half the sandwich and the chicken empanada, and took the other half of the sandwich home. The chicken empanada was delicious and very well flavored. I prefer mine with a side of Tzatziki sauce and theirs is delicious. The next time I was there, Tony gave me a sample of the soup (they have one kind) and it is incredible! I have had the soup almost every time since. It is a full flavored creamy broth with the perfect seasoning. A must have at least once! The restaurant is very modern looking and clean, and there is ample space for ADA access throughout it including the restroom. They have seating inside and outdoors as well. There is also plenty of parking there. Empanada Stop has quickly become a common...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FANTASTIC! Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and warm, inviting service.

Extended review: From start to finish, this place truly takes care of you. I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience. I ordered the chicken club sandwich, which came with a generous side of chips (delicious, by the way). The sandwich itself was spot-on—juicy chicken and perfectly crisp, savory bacon.

To top it off, they surprised me with a complimentary dessert: vanilla bean ice cream paired with a small slice of baklava—such a thoughtful touch!

Everyone I interacted with was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. I’m not even from this side of town—I was just waiting for my car to get fixed and decided to walk over. Now I know I’ll be back anytime I’m in the area.

Do yourself a favor and check this place out—they truly work hard to earn your business. Thank you for such a...
