Great Empanadas, But Too Hot Inside
I tried the salteña and the chorizo empanadas, and honestly, they were my favorites – super good! The service was nice and fast too. The only thing is it gets way too hot inside, not really comfy to sit and eat.
I even had to ask for a bag to take my food to go cuz it was just too hot 😅

Decent Empanadas, Not Memorable
My experience at this restaurant was decent. I visited a little while ago and it wasn't super memorable. The seating inside was nice, and we sat by the window.
There were a few vegetarian options, but not many. In my opinion, 1-2 empanadas did not feel filling enough for a meal.

Delicious Empanadas, Great Service!
I’m always surprised that there’s no line here. The staff is nice, and the food is soooooo good! Highly recommend this place.
It’s so easy to get a few empanadas and eat them in Delores Park. I’ve been a few times, and really liked the caprese empanada and the Argentine chorizo.

Amazing Empanadas and Sangria!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The empanadas were amazing, truly some of the best I've had. They offer a great variety and are incredibly filling.
I also highly recommend the sangria; they make it exceptionally well. A special thank you to Karina for her patience and attentiveness throughout the meal.

Exceptional Empanadas and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was outstanding, largely thanks to their next-level empanadas. They were perfectly crispy, flavorful, and generously filled. I was impressed that they consistently nail it, whether you prefer classic beef or something more unique.
The service was also a highlight, with a special shoutout to Karina. She was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, making the whole experience feel personal and welcoming, which is a rare quality these days!

Restroom Out of Service After Purchase
My experience was quite frustrating. I bought an item specifically to use the restroom, only to be told it was out of service. There was no signage or explanation provided for why it couldn't be used, which was the entire reason for my purchase.

Delicious Empanadas, Highly Recommended!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! Every empanada was so yummy and the perfect size. I highly recommend the mushroom, spinach, and aji gallina empanadas.
They also have a huge selection of veggie and meat empanadas. I can’t wait to come back 😄.

Great Empanadas and Variety
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was really impressed with the baked empanadas, which offered a tons of variety and filling choices. They also make some delicious sauces on the side.
In addition to empanadas, they have a nice selection of prepared foods like salads. The pricing is more than fair, and I was pleased to find lots of vegetarian and vegan selections. The food and service were both excellent, rated 5/5.

Great Food, Annoying Music Loop
My experience at the restaurant was largely positive, with food, atmosphere, and service all receiving a perfect score of 5. However, the dining experience was significantly marred by a repetitive music loop. For 30 minutes, the same Miley Cyrus cover played continuously, which became quite irritating.
Despite the excellent core aspects of the restaurant, this music issue was a notable drawback.

Devine Intervention for an Amazing Lunch
Well. Here's the deal. I had intended on eating at a restaurant around the corner that specializes in all that's pork, but when I found a place to park I was pretty much in front of the Venga Empanadas Restaurant.
So I went in and picked up an Amazing lunch. Some would call it fate. But I call it Devine Intervention because the white bean soup was heavenly!
I couldn't help myself to add some ham and a splash of heavy cream to it but even without my sideline interference. It was Spectacular! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆
