Empanada Kitchen - San Diego

Holy moly best empanadas I've ever had in my life! What a great little place. Dan the owner is such a great guy providing little pockets of pastry wrapped meaty veggie) love to the community. Thanks Dan for what you do!Food: 5/5

I was planning on heading to a coffee shop but this cute colorful empanada shop caught my eye and I'm glad I changed plans. I tried 2 empanadas. The spicy beef was very tasty and flavorful. The ham and cheese was delicious as well. They came with chimichurri sauce on the side. Staff was friendly and provided excellent recommendations. The prices are reasonable as well. I'll definitely be back

We've eaten here a few times and I didn't bother to complain that a previous orders had come with the empanadas missing and misplaced. But this is the third time the same thing has happened. We bought through the Door Dash app and with that it couldn't have been because they didn't understand the order over the phone like the another times. Anyway, I ordered 4 beef empanadas and only 2 came, which was not enough for my guests. We had to cut the empanadas in half so everyone could eat.So people count your order before go home! Don't trust! I don't think it's just a mistake anymore!

Tried all the empanadas and they are all good. Started off with the regular chimi (taste great) but I graduated to the spicy chili. The Apple pie special is worth the wait. I stop here and pick some up whenever I can.

Warning Warning Warning If you do NOT want to think about empanadas and chimichurri obsessively for days and weeks on end, DO NOT TRY THEIR MUSHROOM AND GOAT CHEESE EMPANADAS. I swear it took one, and I was hooked. I bought a jar of chimichurri from them to feed my home obsession, but I dropped it and lost it all. That was the breaking point... for the jar and my self control. I needed more, and I needed it right away. I found out that I could order them from doordash, and I did. Again....and again...AND AGAIN. I might actually need therapy. All I wanted to eat for weeks were these empanadas and the spicy chimichurri that they dunk so lovingly into. I 'm 99% certain that my chin started to break out because of the olive oil, and I still can 't stop. I need an adult. I am an adult, but I really, really need an adultier adult to stop me from this madness! One location is closer to me, but a second location closes later; So, I ordered from both, depending on who could feed my mania best at the moment. If only one of them was terrible, maybe I wouldn 't be lost in this empanada hole. The obsession got so bad I actually made my own empanadas and chimichurri to feed the addiction. It took FOREVER, and while they were delicious how am I supposed to make that happen after a long day of work? I couldn 't. I just couldn 't. After a 12 hour day of class and then school, I got home and almost cried because I didn 't have what has now become 94% of my bodily fluids, and ordered twenty. Yes, my loves, I ordered TWENTY EMPANADAS JUST SO I COULD FREEZE THEM AND TAKE THEM OUT WHEN THE CRAVING HIT. I 'm sick. I need help. Send someone to wire my mouth shut. Perhaps worst of all, what truly makes me a criminal Mastermind willing to take everyone down with me? My coworker was making fun of me for my empanada obsession, so I gave her one. That very night she sent me a boozy text, it read: I hate you. Those empanadas were amazing, I 've been craving them. Don 't say that I didn 't warn you.
