Excellent little spot for great empanadas! The chimmichuri beef and the chicken were spot on!!
I had to try The Empanada King for a second time since my students enjoyed it the first time around. They make large orders for groups so easy with their online menu options. As long as you give 24hours notice you can order in bulk by the dozen. Some of our group favorites are the organic chicken & spinach-artichoke savory empanadas! Of course, you can't go wrong with the sweet banana and chocolate either. The sweet ones tend to be a bit bigger in size! The pickup process was seamless. I highly recommend for student events or group gatherings!
Delicious authentic Argentinian food! Great service , generous portions and fairly priced! You feel at home here! Thanks Julio!
The flavors are all there in their empanadas and saltenas. The chimichurri and other condiments great. Ambiance and service friendly and cozy. I get the sense that much more of their business is for takeout and catering. The owner seemed a bit in over his head handling ours and another table with a big family. Our empanadas were for the most part stone cold. That's why I assume they do mostly catering as its really hard to not know how to warm up their signature dish. I'm giving them a pass on having a bad day. I gave the owner feedback, so I'm hopeful it won't happen again.
We had the best Argentinian cuisine experience! We went Saturday evening where we were greeted with a musician playing classic songs from Argentina. The place was decorated with authentic art and cultural references. They had a store front inside the place with authentic sweets and other goods you could buy and take home to enjoy. We got the Flap Meat Steak from their Grill menu. Let me tell you, that steak was cooked perfectly to order! The house made salad was fresh, their fries were crispy, and their homemade chimichurri went great with everything. All for $25! What a deal and experience. I highly recommend trying this hidden gem of a place.
Food, service and ambiance delicious. Highly recommended! Hope the picture is attached!
I'm always looking for a yummy empanada, patty, turnover, pasty (meat hand pie) and found some delicious Argentinian empanadas at Empanada King...Hand-sized savory pies filled with a variety of meats (with vegetarian options) in a tender pastry dough and baked...Mmmmm! I found Empanada King by accident a couple months back while waiting for my pup at the vet (Sage) and bookmarked it for a future visit. Since I was in the area gave them a call to make sure they were open during these "covid times" and to place an order for a first, "social distance" family visit. Yeah it's been awhile... * BEEF EMPANADA - filled with ground beef, green olives, hardboiled egg with flavors of paprika, cumin, onions - 5 stars! * CHICKEN EMPANADA - shredded chicken in a tomato base, paprika, oregano and other seasonings - delicious with a wetter filling - 4 * HAM and CHEESE - ham, mozzarella and gypsy peppers...got these for my nieces and nephew but liked the chicken better * SPINACH - spinach, onion and ricotta cheese * CHIMICHURRI - parsley, garlic, olive oil, oregano and red vinegar - tangy from the vinegar and stronger flavor from the use of dried herbs vs fresh. *** 4 - 4.5 stars *** Empanadas were a hit even with the 8 and under set...Pastry is a simple, with a tender texture so not flaky or buttery but a flour dough that absorbs all the wonderful flavors. Empanadas all stamped with the contents inside which makes it easy to choose...pricing is super reasonable ($3.50?!) compared to others out there so come and enjoy some delicious Argentinian empanadas while SUPPORTing SMALL BUSINESS...they make a great snack or entree with a salad and reheats nicely. Will definitely return to try their other flavors like their "International empanadas" and their "sandwiches de miga" (layered sandwich)...not sure all the components but definitely has me intrigued! Especially, the fatay which I believe is filled with lamb! Located off Highway 101, exit Woodside and off Bay Road in the industrial part of Redwood City/Menlo Park.
