Empanada & Co. — Restaurant in Winter Garden

Went last week. Tried almost all the empanadas. Coming from an empanada lover:they are “ok”. I have had better. They are baked, and to my personal preference when you fry empanadas the dough tastes better and is crispier. The guava and cheese was totally not something I will eat, I couldn’t even try it, by smelling it, it smelled like cream cheese and a little bit of guava. My husband and son tried it and they didn’t like it. Plus, it’s not that attractive to the eyes. The ground beef one is over seasoned. Too much cumin or something too strong I couldn’t pin point what it was. The Cuban one, didn’t taste like anything in particular. I could t tell what was ham and what was pork, never saw a pickle in mine, Although my son says he did. I’m Cuban, this is far from a Cuban sandwich. No flavor. The chicken one was ok. Not anything I would go back for because I’m craving. The guy at the counter was nice, giving 5 stars for service and atmosphere as the market is cute to walk around, and the food...

Expensive and not good. Really bad, actually. At almost $6 an empanada, I was expecting something a little better and the raving reviews must be from people who can't cook and/or don't know what good food tastes like. The dough is dry and the picadillo filling was the worst one - tasted and smelled of pet food. We also tried their chicken, and the cheese-guava which were also not good. It's like they mix a tiny bit of guava flavor with a strange pasty textured cheese filling and it's an unpleasant mouth-feel. And after spending over $32 on the empanadas, I was still charged for the 2 mediocre sauces that I thought the girl was offering when she asked "any sauces?" during my purchase. That's just business I guess, but very bad business if you ask me. It was just an overall bad experience regarding the food not meeting realistic expectations when purchasing food. If you know good empanadas, definitely don't waste your...

Came to the Plant Street Market a little bit ago to explore and see what was good. One of the things in this world I rarely ever turn down is a glass case full of scrumptious looking empanadas. I saw them and instantly went in for one.

It was so long ago, and I don't remember what fillings were in mine, but that's not what matters! What matters is that it was a very good empanada. It was a decent size, about the size of a hand. It was super crisp, and not made soggy by the fillings within.

It was stuffed to the brim. Sometimes, you bite into one, and it's mostly air, like the inside of a chip bag, but not these. You get the bang for your buck here. And I remember that I had no complaints with the seasoning or flavor of the fillings.

Overall, very good. I would come back to this empanada if I came back to this market,...
