When I lived in the west end of Toronto, I'd go in every couple of months to get my empanada fix. Now that I live on the other side of town, The Empanada Company is a destination that I plan west end outings around.
Tasty, filling and a crowd pleaser, empanadas are my favourite hand food. I prefer them baked instead of fried. The Chilean Chicken is a fave at our house but all the fillings are good. I buy a mixed dozen and freeze whatever we don't eat immediately. They also sell mini empanadas that would be awesome for parties and picnics. Warm or cold, their empanadas are wonderful and I just adore the pastry cut-outs that indicate the different fillings.
This is definitely a take out place, with only 3-4 seats in the front window for eat in. They also do delivery within their area.
Tip: call ahead with your order and it will be ready by the time you get there - less than 15 minutes!
