2nd BEEF PASTELILLOS
Mofongos, Los Angeles
Love these. They were fried a little harder this time (you can tell around the edges), but I still loved them.
2nd BEEF PASTELILLOS
Mofongos, Los Angeles
Puerto Rican version of empanadas. Crispy and delicious. They are small, so buy several!
3rd SAMBOUSEK - MEAT BEOREG
Mediterranean Bistro, Los Angeles
Minced beef, spices and onion. It's basically an empanada and it's delicious!
5th BEEF EMPANADA
La Maria, Los Angeles
Beef and potatoes. Nice crisp on the outside but a little greasy
REALLY GOOD
6th KALUA PORK EMPANADA
Johnny Pacific, Los Angeles
This was my favorite. I also really like the pastry crust.
7th BEEF EMPANADA
Mojitos, San Fernando
Fried empanada with picadillo inside. This was my favorite dish (other than the flan). Nice crispy crust.
8th BEEF EMPANADA
Johnny Pacific, Los Angeles
Seasoned ground beef with potatoes and carrots. I really like their pastry crust.
12th HAM AND CHEESE EMPANADA
LALA'S Studio City, Los Angeles
Better than the beef, but I wouldn't come here for empanadas.
13th BEEF EMPANADA
Ubatuba Açaí - Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles
Stuffed full of seasoned ground beef and green olives. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The chimichurri is great!
PRETTY GOOD
14th BEEF EMPANADA
LALA'S Studio City, Los Angeles
Good crust but the filling was underwhelming
15th BEEF EMPANADA
DAMA Fashion District Restaurant & Bar, Los Angeles
Perfect small size, but not the best I've ever had.
17th HAM & CHEESE EMPANADAS
Ubatuba Açaí - Studio City, Los Angeles
I would have rated it lower, but I liked it much more when dipped in the chimichurri. Baked, not fried. I've had much better
NOT FOR ME
19th CHICKEN AL PASTOR EMPANADA
Johnny Pacific, Los Angeles
I like the crust, but I did not like this filling. Kind of like a bad Hot Pocket.
20th BEEF EMPANADA
Mr. Bacano / Colombian Fast Food, Santa Clarita
This was a mixed bag. It tastes like a fried tamale on the outside which is really interesting. However, the inside is mushy like paste. It doesn't really taste like beef either. The texture was off-putting. If it had chunky meat in it, paired with their house sauces it would have been awesome!
