We were back in la area (Pasadena) but had to come back, this time with a friends family. Still love this place, ordered a dozen if assorted empanadas plus the sweet potato one. Sweet potato empanada was very good, the potato was cooked separately and then add into a empanada ? Our friends family loved it as well. Must visit place for us if we come down to la.

Really good empanadas. I got the meal deal they have with 2 empanadas + a side + a drink it all came out to about $15. The service is ok it's a walk up window and they have some outside seating available. I got the southwest chicken empanada and a spicy potato both were delicious. I just got a simple side salad but my friend got the lentil soup and it looked really yummy. I'd recommend checking this spot out if you want some food empanadas and they have a good variety with even vegan and vegetarian options.

I went here because the person I went with is vegan and said they had some good vegan options. I forgot to take pic but I got the meal ( 2 empanadas a side and a drink I got the hibiscus tea for a dollar more) I got the soy chorizo and pepperoni and cheese empanadas. Also the tortilla soup. It was all good. Oddly enough I liked the vegan one a lot better than the pepperoni. We ordered at the window and sat outside. It was a good meal. I would return to try different kinds.

Second time here but this place is second to none. Good food, service, and a sidewalk seat right on glorious Magnolia Blvd. we love it! Been back a few more times and still love it. The owner's a nice guy, too.

Cute location, friendly service, good price, good empanadas! I was driving around for a quick bite because I had 15 minutes to burn, and this came up in my Apple Maps search. There was some street parking in the front, and not too crowded. You order at the window, and the menus are directly above the order window. I asked the worker about the most popular empanadas, and he said the beef and the spinach/cheese. I went with beef and a breakfast empanada. I love how they engrave the name of the restaurant into the empanada crust (photo attached). They are cooked to order, and take about 5-8 minutes. For the beef empanada, I feel like it was pretty good! I just wish it had more flavor. It felt like something was missing. Slightly bland. I really liked the breakfast empanada. The salsa really set both off them off :) Make sure to get a side of salsa! I feel like I'd come back to try other empanadas!

Only few tables outside to sit and eat. Order from the outside windows. There were quite a lot of options from meat to vegetarian and even dessert empanadas. There is also breakfast burritos available till 2:00pm every day. The chimichurri sauce was very balanced with a little bit of tang to it. I enjoy combining it with the spicy salsa. The fillings of the chicken pot pie, spicy potato and Santa fe chicken were perfect and not dry. The flaky exterior of the empanada was perfectly light and crispy and the ratio of meat to dough was spot on. They also have vegan options and a couple pasta cups available.

I love "World Empanadas". The staff is amazing. Always serve with a smile. Very much appreciated. Every time I go into the valley, I make a point to stop at my favorite spots. This is one of them. Their flavors are the best. My favorite one is the ground beef with the olive in the middle. The spinach is my second favorite. Today, I am trying the spicy potato, mixed berries and soy chorizo. Can't wait to try them. I am sure they will become my favorite too. I wish there was one in Valencia or maybe not. Gives me a reason to travel outside of my city. Until next time. Have a great week!

Came her on a friend's recommendation. Check in on Yelp and get a free Hibiscus tea, which turned out to be really good. Ordered the beef, chili con carne, spinach and 3 cheese, ham and cheese, and Nutella and banana. The Nutella and banana were so good, especially warm and gooey. Ham and cheese was a hit for my kid, and I loved the spinach and cheese empanada. Went well with the chinchurri sauce that came with it. To place an order, you walk up to the window and order. Then you wait for your order to be called. It wasn't too busy when I arrived around 1215. By 1240, there was a small crowd. The empanadas are made fresh, so it takes about 10 minutes, especially when there are a lot of people at once. There are 2 tables out front, and the street is kinda busy at times. Food was delicious, would come back again.

Little savory pastries (a couple sweet options) stuffed full of the best things, what's not to love? My absolute favorites are the spinach artichoke, cheesy potato, and Nutella. What's really helpful and a cute touch, is how they imprint on the pastry dough what the filling is inside so you'll never have to guess which is which. The people are very friendly and there are a few tables outside along the street if you want to take a seat.
