Lamasa Empanada - Louisville

Employees were all very friendly and nice.The empanadas are fantastic, fresh and unique. The food comes out fast

I can 't say I 've ever been to an empanada bar before so this was probably my first. What 's not to love about empanasas? A pastry pocket stuffed with meat or veggies or cheese, it 's a simple concept and La Masa does it well.The menu offers 16 different empanadas including black bean and chorizo, spinach and cheese, Wisco Corn, Cuban with ham and cheese and pickles and mustard. I opted for the La Masa Trio which includes three so I chose Argentine Beef, Lamb Barbacoa and Jamon y Queso (ham and cheese . They took about ten minutes (heating them up, I suppose? and were presented on a tray with a bowl of jicama slaw and chimichurri.They were hot and while I had high hopes for the ham and cheese, that was my least favorite. It tasted too sweet. The beef was my favorite of the three, well stuffed and with a rich baked flavor. The empanadas themselves were good flaky and buttery.La Masa has a full bar but it 's lunchtime on a workday and a cocktail would definitely have put me out for the afternoon. They have Coke products and several other non alcoholic drinks.[Review 20672 overall 242 in Wisconsin 1653 of 2023.

This is a great restaurant to take friends! It is unique, inexpensive, and delicious. There is sometimes a wait, but service is quick once you're seated. I highly recommend the Mushroom Truffle Parmesan Empanada... trust me!

Came here for dinner and truly the highlight of the meal was the empanadas we ordered. The mushroom empanada, lamb empanada and carnitas empanada were all delicious and super flavorful. Would pass on the black bean dip it was wayyyy spicier than expected and definitely had some heat to it.

Quality/Quantity Argentina beef empanada Good.Other options are: salads, sandwiches, empanada desserts, etc.Extensive drink menu, see picture.Atmosphere Indoor/outdoor seating. Bar seating.Two entrances, one for full service and one for take out only. Catering available.Take and bake available.Open 7 days a week from 10am or 11am to 9pm or 11pm. Check the website, as Yelp hours differ slightly.Service Hit and miss. Gave us everything we asked for but I think the team was too busy catering to ALL their take out business. Our one empanada took 17 minutes to make, as we watched them make bags and bags of take out empanadas (we were quoted a 10 min wait). Due to another beautiful hot day, they were nice and gave me a glass of ice (I have water in the car). It almost melted...Price $4 Tax.Owner Comment Congrats on all your success.
