Awesome empanadas shop in San Clemente with delicious sauce dip too!
We got a six pack and the employee gave us $3 off, good deal.
We were so hungry we ate all 6 empanadas before I remembered to take picture of them, lol.
Will definitely go back and get more, our favorite was the spinach and ricotta but my daughter loved the beef empanada too.
Excellent empanadas. We are semi local but visiting San Clemente. Been coming each day picking a different flavor. Hot and excellent. We will definitely head this way regularly.

Stopped by two days ago to grab some food. It was our first time here. We didn’t realize it was 10 minutes before closing, but staff was so nice and accommodating! We got a variety with four different sauces. My favorite was the beef with the chamorro-soy sauce. Yum! There’s designated parking at the front. Look for the wave mural. Please let us know if you will be expanding your menu and adding dessert empanadas like cinnamon apple, banana nutella, raspberry cream cheese, s’mores… I’ll be lining up before you even open lol.
I stopped here me and my mother on Thursday to check out the place we were very happy to meet with Jennifer the owner she is really nice made us feel very welcome explained the food for us the food is absolutely delicious and fresh we had a great chitchat you should definitely stop and try it the sauces are delicious and they have a good unique flavor.
We were walking down the street, My Daughter and Boyfriend decided to stop by and check them out. The empanadas were Fresh, the service was great and they want to return for more.
I cannot speak for other countries, but 'real' Argentines DO NOT dip their empanadas. Argentines do not dip; empanadas are not McNuggets. Argentines do not put BBQ sauce on their asado because Argentines believe empandas and meat ought to stand on the merits of preparation and not need sauces to supplement or substitute taste. For that matter, Argentines don't 'flavor' their coffee because good coffee requires no silly flavorings.
Argentines also do not feel that new types of empanadas must appear constantly just because 'new and improved' is good for the economy. If new flavors of water, fifty combinations of orange juice and gimmicky hamburgers are capitalistic necessities, this explains why Argentina is always in a financial crisis.
Argentines have been eating their empanadas the same way for 200 years, and the best analogy is in how Californians respect and admire In-N-Out Burger, which is good as it is and does not require obsessive novelty in their menu to justify executive salaries or keep at bay the dread of failing to maximize revenues.
Pretty tasty empanadas. 2nd time here. My daughter loves the chorizo but they were not ready at the time of our arrival. We got the ham & cheese as well as their peruvian chicken. Chicken was ok, the ham & cheese was better. Friendly staff. They have a small area if you want to eat them nice and hot.
