Came here because was around the block from the hotel I’m staying and weather was awful to walk anywhere else.
Glad I found this place. Is a bit hidden, but cozy environment.
People here were very friendly too.
Empanadas are tiny tiny tiny, tho, but delicious.
I ended up staying longer so I could finish my wine, which was surprisingly good and the fact they serve beer and wine.

This is what you get for $6. It tasted good, but the box it came in was way more substantial than the empanada that it held. It would cost me $20 to get what I expected.

Pretty decent empanadas for an ok price on the 16th Street Mall. There’s a lot of choices, which can make it hard to pick, but they are all pretty yummy, especially after a quick blast in the oven. They are more on the small side for empanadas, which is fine I guess

The empanadas are good, especially the dough, but they are too pricey for their size. Perfect place if you are looking for a quick bite but for a dinner you need to order at least four or five empanadas. The staff was very friendly. If you are staying at the hotel, this is a good option.

OK, it has been a few years since I have been here, and now I am asking myself, why did I wait so long. Hahaha. I had a beef empanada and a mushroom to start
Both were so good and full of ingredients, the mushroom surprised me it was so tasty. I went back and got a spicy steak, yummm, I love spice.and another mushroom, ha. I guess I truly enjoyed that mushroom empanada. I will be going back. The staff were super friendly, they are made fresh to order so they come out hot. I love that. I got the chimichuri dipping sauce and the hot sauce. Both were delicious.

I ordered 3 empanadas. Ground beef (which I was told was the most popular), ham and cheese, and steak quesadilla. My favorite were steak quesadilla and ground beef. They are slightly smaller than what they appear so it is a bit pricey for the size but it’s located in downtown Denver (very walkable from hotels in downtown) so that could be why. Either way the Empanadas were good and the staff was friendly! If you have time there’s a seating area at Denver Pavilion’s near Lazo’s which is a great place to eat your empanadas. 🙂

My empanadas were badly burned. Given the price, it was disappointing to have to eat around the burnt edges, which made up most of the empanada. The food appears to be pre-made, so I’d recommend checking how it looks before ordering. For me, I don’t plan to return.

Amazing place for a quick delicious bit to eat! You can purchase individual empanadas or more! I got them spinach and cheese, the steak, and the ground beef! All of theme were AWESOME in their own way. The green sauces are to die for as well! Highly recommend and will be coming back again when I visit Denver next!

The explosion of flavors will have you wanting more. They taste so good. I had a spicy chicken and spicy beef.
The environment was really calm, inviting, and friendly. Staff are also great. A bit pricey but given the location that is to be expected. Basically, $5 for one. You must try them all. Would recommend.

This place was DOPE! The empanadas are perfection, especially the crust. We tried BBQ chicken, spicy chicken, mushroom, spinach & cheese, and a dessert one, caramel, cream cheese, and peach. We also got some chimichurri sauce. Honestly, they don’t need any sauce. They are so good! The mushroom turned out to be my favorite, I went back and ordered a second one.
This place is also kid approved! My niece shared all four with me and asked for another BBQ chicken. It was honestly so good I forgot to take pics until we’d already devoured most of it.
Since this is on 16th street mall, there’s no parking in front. But we snagged a spot right around the corner, so it worked out. It was nice after to take a little stroll on the mall after.
