Nonna's Empanadas - Original Farmers Market — Restaurant in Los Angeles

It's a real nice shop for a snack or a quick bite between shopping or movies at the Grove !! It's conveniently located next to the Grove .Argentine stuff !! Yay ! They've got nice options for vegans & vegetarians !! My recommendations are BEYOND MEAT empanadas & vegie samosa ones !! Both vegans . And their " BEST SELLER " Guava & cream cheese one is super tasty !! 😋 Like an apple pie 🥧 I love both guava & cream cheese , so, it was a winner !!! Lol. ( I also love apple pies ! ! ) Beyond meat one is super yummy , too !!! 😋 Sometimes , they are too salty 🧂 😜, but today it wasn't ! I had those vegan ones 2 , 3 times before . I usually take 'em to go .I highly recommend this place !! I've always been wanting to go to Argentina & not done that , yet ! So, it is a little bite of Argentina I can get here in L.A.!! I believe one piece is around $5 ? So, it's budget friendly also which I've gotta admit I love that about 'em, too !! Lol Everything is expensive around here, so , this is very nice & convenient. It was busy there today ! The whole Farmer's market & the Grove were very busy , indeed !! Because , it is such nice weather & a very hot day today !! So, many are out & taking their dogs out, too -! I felt bad for dogs as it's too hot for 'em !! The asphalt is burning 🔥 hot 🔥. I wouldn't take my dog out today if I had my dog !! Nonna's Empanadas is a GEM 💎 ✨️ at the( original ) Farmer's market...

We stopped at the Farmers Market on a Viator Tour for lunch. I chose Nonna’s Empanadas (my husband another restaurant) and it did not disappoint! We shared food and both agreed that his was good but Nonnas was better! You can get two empanadas and a drink for $12.95. I tried the beef and the ham and cheese. Both were listed as best sellers. I preferred the ham and cheese over the beef, not a huge fan of olives in the beef but it was still good. The ham and cheese was absolutely delicious!! Both were very fresh, full of filling and extremely hot. We liked it so much we came back another day on our trip just to eat here again. This time my husband chose to eat here too. He got the Ham and cheese again but I tried the Philly cheesesteak and the margherita and we split a Nutella for dessert. Again, all delicious! Very full and so hot you could hardly eat them! I wished I lived closed so I could eat...

Those empanadas are so good!

This was our first time going there because someone recommended it to us.

We ordered six empanadas: Chicken Alfredo, 2 Shrimp, Beef, Pepperoni and Guava. We liked all of them.

The empanadas were very soft and tasty. The Chicken Alfredo one was very good, the chicken was tasty and I liked that it wasn't dry. The Shrimp empanadas were full of shrimp with some tomato sauce that made it delicious. The pepperoni one was filled with pepperoni and I like that it had more pepperoni than cheese. Also, the pepperoni wasn't greasy. The beef empanada was very tasty and flavorful. The guava empanada had a lot of guava mixed with cream cheese. It tasted delicious but it had too much guava for my taste.

I definitely recommend this place and would go back.

There was a line but the service was...
