Yet another spot that I revisited since it was still cold out, but I'm only now writing a review for.
The Empanada Co. is located right 'round the corner from Fair Grounds/Woody's Burgers. So if you feel like a snack or light meal pre/post coffee &/or burger...you may have a tapeworm!
Anyway, I noticed that they got rid of their "combos" since my last visit. They no longer have 2 Empanadas + dip/drink for $4.99. :( Now most of their empanadas, depending on their filling, are in the $2.75-$3 range, with the lobster one at $3.75. You only get a "deal" if you buy like 3+. They also added tamales for $4.75, but I wonder how big those are??
Empanadas come either baked/fried and they're slightly smaller than a beef patty. I guess they're cooked beforehand 'cause when I asked for my Smoked Chorizo empanada baked, guy behind counter said it was only available fried. Friend ordered Pulled Pork.
Although both empanadas tasted fresh, we both agreed that they were a bit bland. Lacked SOMETHING along the lines of spice or other seasonings. Bonus for hypertensive/obese peeps tho'! Pastry is more or less tasteless.
Minus stars for removing the combo deals. I understand slight increase of prices, but it irks me when restaurants take away deals completely...at least deals that make sense. I am not buying another empanada just to get $0.75 off!
