· South Corona
Exceptionally tasty, made-to-order empanadas with many fillings at budget prices, but expect waits, limited seating, strict sauce policy, and occasionally brusque service.
Why this grade
Empanadas Cafe earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality and remarkable multi-year customer loyalty that speaks to consistent execution. Service inconsistency and minimal seating prevent grade A territory, but the crisp, made-to-order empanadas at budget pricing make this a standout neighborhood specialist worth seeking out for what it does best.
One caveat: Waits can stretch to 30–45 minutes during rush or with large orders
