Reviews Empanada Llama

Stopped here for a quick dinner with my wife and I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is kind of a fast casual place, we got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. The decor is bright and lively, but not overboard and the fresh flowers on the tables were a nice touch. I ordered the corn and cheese empanada as well as the bechamel which had mushroom and a cream sauce. The bechamel was rich and savory while the corn was sweet and well cheesey. I enjoyed them both and was glad there were vegetarian options. My wife had the lomo saltado and she said it was great; meaty and rich...quite delicious. We both got the yucca fries and were a bit confused because they were breaded and we're accustomed to them without breading, just fried. If you opt for fries, definitely get a dipping sauce, next time I'll go with the garlic if I get yucca or perhaps try one of the other sides and sauce combo. This was definitely a great find and we will be back, I think our kids will enjoy these delicious empanadas as much as we did.

This place is definitely a hidden gem! I happened to see this place the other week when I was in this shopping center. I told myself that I was going to come back to try it because I love empanadas, and I finally had a chance to try it today. I am definitely glad I did! The empanandas are delicious! The are also more filling than they look. Each one is about the size of your palm and circular. I'm used to empanadas being shaped like a half moon, but these are circular. The crust is also very flaky. I would compare them to hand pies if you have ever had those. On this trip I tried the original beef and the Aji de gallina, which was filled with shredded chicken. Both were great, but I think my favorite so far is the original beef. They also have sides like fries, sweet potato fries, fried yuca and salad. I would definitely suggest you try the fried yuca. I didn't try any on this trip, but they also have sweet empanadas filled with nutella or apple pie and they also have smoothies. I will definitely come back often, there are too many menu items that I still want to try. Do yourself a favor and visit this place if you are in the area. The staff is very friendly and the food is great. Just one note, it can take a few minutes to get your food if they are busy because they cook your food to order, but it is worth the wait :)

Love everything about this place! From the cute peruvian vibe when you walk in, to the friendly staff, to the changing specials, it's great! I got one savory and one sweet empanada (the combo also came with fried yuca, yum!) and they had a special of sorts running where I ended up getting a free savory empanada. Score! Because I wasn't planning on sharing with my husband (sorry not sorry), but then i looked like a considerate wife. All three were incredibly flavorful, fresh and delicious! My sweet tooth especially loved the nutella and banana. I tell everyone I can to check them out. I wish we were closer, we'd be here more often for sure.

I was craving some empanadas last night so I finally got to try Empanada Llama and let me tell you they did not disappoint! I got the Original Beef ones to go and when I got home and opened the package I was pleasantly surprised at how cute they were all wrapped up waiting for me to eat them. Flavor was great and the shell was different than I've had at other restaurants but still great! Also, the price is very reasonable. Will be back for future visits!

Not only does Empanada Llama serve delicious and fresh empanadas, but also large portioned ones. 1 or 2 could easily fill someone up but of course you're going to want an extra one because of how great they are. While you're there get a side of Yucca and try some of their great sauces. Pair that with one of their refreshing beverages like their mango smoothie for a complete meal. Definitely a go to spot while you're in the Mandarin area!
