10/10 light good chew and seasoned empanada outside fried golden. The fillings are moist and so perfectly seasoned. I didn’t think shredded beef or chicken would be at tender and moist. Beyond my wildest gluten free and dairy free wet dreams of legends. Go. Just go.

Never knew i was an empanada person until trying it out here. I was here for work and was back here every night for a snack lmao. The red sauce is the one with a lil heat which goes well with the meat ones. Yellow sauce kinda like a honey mustard which is also nice. Please give them a try . Highly reccomend.

This place was very mediocre. Their empanadas was OK. Nothing to write home about. We did have mild diarrhea after not sure if it was from the sauce the meat looked well cooked and well done. I give them three star because it was decent for being in Portland, definitely not like Columbia

The yuca was to die for just wish they had some good sauce to go with it .
Our food took very long time to come. It was a very long wait if you’re able to I would advise to go get other food or order ahead.

Oh, WOW! Such a good find. The best empanadas with a variety of fillings. Authentic Colombian food and sauces. Very welcoming and friendly. After trying one I bought two whole trays so we can freeze them and have them available (as we don’t live in Portland). All our family loved these. Very reasonably priced, too.

So very good – we will definitely order from here again.

Preordered 2 boxes (20 each) of empanadas for a party. 1 box of Chicken, 1 box of the Colombianita.
These were an absolute hit! Even the salsas were delicious. Great option to consider bringing to a party. They are located in the Midtown Beer Garden food cart pod.

Actually so freaking good. The outside had a crunch like no other empanada I’ve had. And amazing vegetarian options.

Pilón has been my home away from home since I moved to Portland.
Elizabeth and her family are such incredible people, and the food they share with the community is nothing short of amazing. Their Colombianita empanadas are one of my all-time favorites, and pairing them with the maracuyá (passion fruit) juice instantly transports me back to Colombia with every bite. Truly a 10/10 experience—I love them so much!

The staff was very nice and the chicken empanadas were wonderful. I highly recommend giving them a try. Don’t forget the hot sauce. I would say they make it themselves and it’s not too spicy, but adds a lot of flavor.

The food here is excellent. Fantastic empanadas and fried yuca. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and looking for something delicious and affordable.

Everything we ordered was incredible. The cheese and guava empanadas, the soursop, the pandebono, the Colombianita empanadas, the garlic sauce. It was all incredible. Eat here you won’t regret it.
