Savory Crust Gourmet Empanadas - Carol Stream (IL)

5 /5 Victor Reyes: Was searching for something close to the hotel and this came up and it was quite the find. I had the Filipino based Adobo rice bowl and the guava and cream cheese empanada. They were both excellent. I would imagine this is a great place for locals and it looks like they have a food truck. Was really happy to find this gem. There was a picnic table outside where I ate my lunch. But definitely a takeout delivery place.

5 /5 Sarah McCready: We order here somewhat often and it is consistently delicious. They only do empanadas, wings and bowls but they somehow do them all perfectly. Weve tried the bone in, boneless and cauliflower wings and each kind is incredible. The empanada crust is always flaky & buttery, and every flavor weve tried does not disappoint! I even got around to trying the agua frescas and horchata and they each tasted homemade and not too sweet. Definitely one of those little gems that you can always rely on to deliver tasty, quality food, every time.

5 /5 Jaden Wease: First time here!!! This place is an absolute GEM!! Expectation blown away. The service was great, the young lady recommended the lunch special, which comes with 2 empanadas, 1 side, sauce and a drink for only 15$. The food was so fresh and flavorful. Id recommend this place to my worst enemy if I had one. Don’t over think it go give this place a try NOW!!!! !!Side note!! This place is TAKE OUT ONLY

5 /5 jason leitner: You’d never guess there’s amazing food tucked away in this industrial/commercial complex, but wow—this place is worth finding. It’s takeout only (though they have a picnic table outside), and the service is fast and friendly. I tried two empanadas: the bacon and cheese (good, but feels more American-style) and the Argentinian chicken, which is next-level incredible. Whatever seasoning or voodoo magic they use, I almost turned around to get more on the spot. The lady taking orders was great, offering helpful suggestions on sauces, and we talked about their take-home packs of empanadas you can reheat or bake later. I’ll definitely grab those next time. This is the kind of small, out-of-the-way local spot that deserves support. I’ll be back soon—and you should too.

4 /5 Adriana Franco: 1/11/2025. Update Never disappoints, and everyone in my tribe enjoys the empanadas. Love to support this business, they do a wonderful job. I tried all of the empanadas, perhaps my favorites are the Argentinian beef, chicken curry, and Somosa - but all are yummy. The sauces are also tasty, I usually have left over to use them with something else during the week. I like the Avocado Lime Cilantro, Spicy Chimichurri, and Sriracha Aioli. This time we also had the Blackberry Hoisin Ginger which is amazing. I would not have it with empanadas, bit my friend said it was great pairing for the Mac & Cheese one. I had it with my croissant the next morning.
