Lito's Taco and Empanada House — Restaurant in Lake View Township

They lost one star because the last time I ordered for delivery thru Grubhub, April 27, my empanadas weren’t hot and fresh like they normally are. They were barely lukewarm. I originally had lito’s from the French market (or rather from inside the market area) a year ago, just stopping in. I loved them! That creamy, green sauce is to die for!! So when I found out this new location on Clark street delivered to my location thru Grubhub I almost died. I ordered two beef and rice empanadas and three chicken and rice empanadas. Now, when I got them from the French market, my favorite was the chicken and rice. That chicken was fresh, juicy, and seasoned so well! Yet, from this location, the chicken was a bit dry. There needed to be way more flavor too. It wasn’t horrible, but I wasn’t feeling it. The beef and rice, however, was so good! The flavor was SPOT ON. I first ordered on April 13, and the empanadas were hot and fresh! I don’t like that they charge .25 for sauce. They need to redo their Grubhub profile and make the sauce a choice when you order the empanada. I mean you are already paying for the empanadas, you should at least get 1 free sauce for that. Which is also why a star was taken off. I mean they do put more sauce in the bag, but I use two sauces per empanada because they are a nice size. I am not paying for all that sauce. Now I ordered April 13 and they were awesome, same with my second order April 26. It’s the April 27th order that didn’t hold up to the other two. Other than that, this location, like it’s sister location I ate from before, definitely holds up. I suggest the beef and rice. I also ordered the apple caramel on April 27-THAT ONE you can skip. The filling is mushy and not good. It tasted very sour. That filling ruined the whole empanada. I would’ve preferred just the fried bread with the...

My kids and I used to love Lito's. We bought their empanadas at the location next to Del Seoul and at Chilango. Ever since they moved down the street to the new Clark location, the empanadas have been terrible and inconsistent. There is either too little filling (like a teaspoonful) or the wrong filling. I ordered a salted caramel apple empanada that tasted like sweet chicken. My daughter loves the spinach and cheese. The last two times we went the empanadas were 70% air, no exaggeration. Disappointing for sure. I've been their loyal customer for about four years. I keep going back hoping they will work out the kinks at the new place. They only have one more shot and me and my money will have...

Omg so good! My husband and I were craving tacos to get delivered and we couldn’t believe we found a place with tacos for only $2.75 plus empanadas and they were incredible! They delivered them with sooooo many sauces. They were all so flavorful and spicy! The only thing I didn’t like was the steak empanada which I knew I probably wouldn’t because of the raisins. It was too sweet for my taste. But the bbq chicken and veggie was incredible. The crust was so flaky and light. All in all, I can’t wait to...
