5411 Empanadas | Southport — Restaurant in Lake View Township

Great Argentinian empanadas as the flavors and quality of the inside is very good. Very little crust to enjoy more filling but a very little empanada for $3.75 each plus you pay $0.75 for chimichurri sauce which is helpful to have to bring the flavor out. So if you want to eat to get satiated you need about 3-4 empanadas unless you just want a snack and you are already full. The crust is nicely done and a bit chewy and not flakey which I really like as it’s unique to others. Overall a great place with many choices of filling for vegetarians and non vegetarians alike. If they dropped the price of one empanada to $3 each I would totally feel even better but regardless it’s a great place to sit and eat to enjoy tasty food. Plus it’s easy to just order and away yourself … no waitress so you save money on tipping. Plus the bathroom is super clean and smells fresh. That’s a really great sign the owner and staff care...

My entire experience was flawless from beginning to end! Parking was easy, right in front. And as soon as I went inside I was greeted with sooooo many empanada options on the wall! (Picture added) and coffee and espresso options so I was in heaven! I ordered and when the I got the empanadas I was stoked by how delicious they looked!! I was blown away! They were so delicious and fresh and sooooooooo flavorful! Officially the best empanadas I’ve ever had! I have been day dreaming of going back so gonna have to make that happen this week 🥰🥰 Another plus is the service! The guy that helped me was so nice and attentive! 10/10! The vibe of the place was so modern and welcoming! I just can’t wait to go back!...

Overall: Some of the best empanadas I've had in a long time. Sorry Cafe Tola - baked, not fried, is the way to go!

The good: The empanadas here are hot, fresh, flaky, and delicious. The menu is a good length for an empanadas place, probably 10 flavors deep, and each one is unique. Egg (served all day), meat, or veggie based, they're all tasty as heck. The service is friendly, and they're open relatively late. Also, this location serves beer, which is always a plus.

The not-so-good: A little long of a wait for your empanadas, but that's cause they're being baked fresh and they will be hot. Only other complaint is the price, but compared to Tola it's almost cheaper.

Atmosphere: 9/10 Service:...
