Go-Go Empanadas Inc. — Restaurant in Matthews

Think about your favorite place to eat. Got it in mind? Great, you're wrong, it's this place. We stopped in on the way back from a trip across the state for the first time and it was like Leia confessing her feelings to Han -- We said "I love you," and Go-Go Empanadas replied "I know."

The price point is top tier, the selection of flavors is top tier (and I can vouch for that because all three of my kids are picky little critters, and they all three loved the place and can't wait to go back), and to top it off, the staff is friendly and eager to please your taste buds, wallet, and overall satisfaction with having a simple meal turned into a mouth-rave for 30-40 minutes.

The only, and I mean ONLY thing that I would change about this place if I could is for them to be a little closer because I would be jonesing for these little pockets of pure, exquisite bliss almost every day, so if you're local, I don't know what your excuse is for not turning this business into a raging capitalistic mega-conglomerate of fried deliciousness in every mouth, but it better well...

Been curious about this place and by the looks of the line to the door at lunch today it seems like I’m the last in town to try it!

We had a variety of the corn empanadas, rice and beans and a couple dessert empanadas too. Super yummy flavor and sauces. My favorite empanada was the broccoli and cheese. Super yummy. We were so happy with the food. The prices are super reasonable! Next time we will try some desserts from the case too.

It’s a small place and most people were getting to go orders. There are only 4 tables inside and a couple outside. The music inside is fun and happy but really loud. We dined in but strained to hear each other for conversation. Next time we will get to go orders. The atmosphere is plain and simple. The big deal here is the food not the atmosphere.

Already planning my next order and bringing to go ones to...

This review is overdue. I tried this spot for lunch on Friday, 12-23-22. I had a deal with Uber Eats where I needed to spend around $25. With each empanada being priced so low, this easily turned into a large order that I ended up sharing with others.

I ordered Greek patty "wheat;" Columbian-style fried potatoes "papa criolla;" bacon, scamble eggs, & cheddar cheese patty "wheat;" spinach & cheese patty "wheat;" Italian sausage patty "wheat;" broccoli & cheese patty "corn;" salpicon; seafood patty "wheat;" guava & cheese; Italian calzone patty "wheat," and caramel & cheese.

My favorites were Italian sausage, broccoli & cheese, seafood, guava, caramel, & salpicon. I may not frequently dine here as it's a lot of food for one person, but it's not a bad option when there are multiple mouths to feed. The food was hot...
