The Empanada Company - Etobicoke

Amazing empanadas, especially the Buffalo wing one is to die for! Great for a cheap quick meal!! Small space to eat but great for take out!!

Wow. The lobster empanada is one of the most delicious things I have put in my mouth in a long time.

"A fun option for birthday parties instead of pizza! Trying a dozen mini empanadas was a great way to sample different flavors. The multicultural empanadas are fantastic! And be sure to also try the fried avocado."

Avocado Fries- DELISH!!!. I'm addicted to the avocado fries!<br/ <br/ You gotta try them...

Fresh, but could use a lil ' more salt.. Albeit it standing room only, with a bar with a few stools to eat at, this joint is busy with a constant flow of patrons primarily doing take out. The guy behind the ordering counter was very friendly, explaining the specials/options, offered a sample of their avocado fries, and even discreetly 'up selling '. He was definitely doing his job!<br/ <br/ Empanadas can be baked (traditional) or fried. And I love the option of the 'combos ' that come with 2 empanadas and either a dip OR a drink. If you 're just stopping by for a snack, this can definitely be shared with a friend! Empanadas themselves are a fair size, about that of a beef patty.<br/ <br/ We didn 't hafta wait that long for our food. And when it arrived, it came in authentic lookin ' earthenware which was a nice touch.<br/ <br/ I loved the batter that the avocado fries came in! It had a bit of a chipotle or other 'kick ' to it which helped 'cause aside from the texture, avocado can be bland on its own. Serving size of the fries were generous for 2 people. On your own, it can be a bit much to handle unless you 're used to fried foods.<br/ <br/ I couldn 't quite put my finger on it 'til it was finished, but there was something missing from my Beef Empanada. Everything tasted fresh, but I wouldn 't say that it was DELICIOUS, addictive, or anything. I think that the filling and even the dough itself lacked flavour in the way of salt/spices.<br/ <br/ I ordered mine baked, but after the first bite, I wished that I had ordered it FRIED 'cause that would 've 'added ' that extra something. I decided to try the fresh salsa to accompany the empanada and all I tasted was olive oil cilantro. <br/ <br/ Although I loved the experience and would definitely go back just not make a special trip or anything, I just wished that they would turn it up in the heat/flavour dept.!!!
