Found this hidden gem inside Old Town Marketplace (332 Main Street) in Longmont and it did not disappoint! The empanadas are flavorful with a perfect, homemade flaky crust. They are a bit on the smaller side ($4-$5 each), but you can tell they are made with love. We tried the steak, apple, and sweet potato, the sweet potato was easily my favorite! To drink, we got the agua de jamaica (hibiscus water) and the Horchata (cinnamon rice water). Both were delicious, the Horchata has coffee added into it making it yummy and different. The owner is incredibly kind and friendly, and the marketplace itself has such a chill, cute atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

We love some good empanadas!
We got one steak and one spicy chicken.
Had them heated, yum.
Friendly owners, neat location.
But a tad pricey for me at $4-5 per small empanada.

We ordered the cherry and apple empanadas. We accidentally received pineapple, but the owner graciously gave us a cherry empanada for free and let us keep the pineapple. All three were delicious. The owner was very sweet and provided great customer service. Thank you!!

I got an apple empanada and cherry tart cake. Both were absolutely delicious!! Food and service earned 5/5, while atmosphere was a 4/5 because the inside of the place is pretty chill but no music plays to fill the space. The owners are kind and friendly and aren’t scared to make some conversation with you! They made me feel welcomed. I will definitely be coming back to try other savory and sweet empanadas.

The Horchata was the worst I have ever had. It tasted like a weird super sweet artificial cinnamon flavor. Do not recommend. Didn’t try the empanadas, but will come back to try them.

I came in at 1:30pm on Sunday and it was OPEN even though the hours say they’re closed on Sundays. The guy working looked exhausted and only stood up when he had. Pleasant enough but kinda sad.

I love eating at abuelita’s empanadas, they offer a variety of empanadas, my favorite is the spinach and queso, they also offer jarritos and other beverages and my kids love their cup of corn! They fry all their empanadas to order and if you’re lucky you’ll meet abuelita!

Really good, quality empanadas.
I had three different ones; all were good.
The place is inside the Old Town Marketplace.

Atmosphere only got a 4 because its just a tiny little shop in a local marketplace, which I like, so maybe it should be a 5? But there is no doubt that these were some of the flakiest, most delicious empanadas I have tasted. Well worth eating two! Five stars!
