Empanada Guy Lafayette — Restaurant in Lafayette

I love that we were greeted when we walked inside of the place. Luciano recommended the 12ct of empanadas so we choose it for lunch. Flavors: Ham and Cheese, Buffalo Chicken, Jalapeno Corn, Pizza, Boudin and Pepper Jack, and Classic Beef. Sauces: Chimchurri and Sweet South.

Empanadas were flakey and delightful. Sauces are only to enhance the flavor of the food. A good cook knows how to make the ingredients shine without it. This place delivers the experience! You can mix the sauces with any of the empanadas and it wouldn't ruin anything.

I can see why the chimchurri sauce is a favorite. I had to take a jar of it home and some frozen empanadas. We don't live close by, but to see how much care and love was in the meal makes me really happy. Everyone was kind! What made my day is that Luciano gave instructions to prepare it and the employee who wanted to secure frozen items took the extra step to ask if it was ok for us to drive back at an hour and half home.

I love when the food is amazing and your spending your money on how quality ingredients for local businesses. They did above and beyond expectations. We'll...

I cannot say enough great things about Empanada Guys! From the moment I placed my order to the last bite of their delicious food, the entire experience was absolutely top-tier. The empanadas were incredibly tasty, perfectly seasoned, and undeniably fresh—you can tell they put real love and care into their cooking. Each bite was packed with flavor and had the perfect crisp on the outside with a warm, savory filling on the inside.

But what truly sets Empanada Guys apart is their exceptional customer service. They went above and beyond—actually, above and below—to make sure I had the best experience possible. They were not only prompt and professional, but also incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating. It’s rare to find a business that genuinely cares about their customers the way they do.

I will absolutely be coming back again and again—not just for the amazing empanadas but also because it’s clear they value every customer. If you haven’t tried Empanada Guys yet, do yourself a favor and place an order—you...

These empanadas are incredible. We got the set that has all 4 kinds with all 3 sauces, and got a set of the cookies. The spinach and artichoke empanadas were stunning by themselves, and next-level with chimichurri. The ham & cheese were a little greasy, but they were delicious, and the criolla sauce made them even better. The sauce had such a fresh and bright tomato & cilantro flavor (so be aware if you have the soapy cilantro gene). The boudin empanadas were really good, and came with a cream cheese pepper jelly sauce. It was really good but not the best one. The best one was, far and away, the traditional beef empanadas with chimichurri. They were SPECTACULAR and I could've eaten 10 of them had my stomach allowed. After we were done, we each had the alfajores, and they were the perfect little dessert. The dulce de leche was incredibly rich and sticky and sweet, and well-balanced by the delicate shortbread cookies. Altogether, it was a wonderful experience, and we definitely plan on ordering all of...
