The empanadas, featuring light and flaky dough, are delicious. The BBQ Chicken and Cuban varieties stand out. The owners clearly take pride in their food, contributing to an amazing little place with a great atmosphere.

We enjoyed our first visit to The Empanada Bar. The restaurant is super clean, bright, and cozy with indoor and outdoor seating. The empanadas were really good. Flavorful, flaky crust, and plenty of filling. We also enjoyed the local Hunstville beer! What a great addition to old League City!

I got 3 different empanada flavors: chicken, sweet corn & cheese and the Cuban. The Cuban was my favorite. The chicken one has olives so take that into account if you don't like olives like me. They are delicious, but I’ll allow myself to eat there more often when they have baked empanadas too (they told me it will happen soon). I’ll be back to try the Birria empanada that’s is only available during weekends. Service was great too.

So so delicious. I recommend getting them Togo because they’re too hot too scarf down. Made to order. Really delicious brisket and sauces. They were so fresh. I can’t wait to go back. I do wish there was beans with the potato and rice as a side, but I can make that at home and it would be the perfect meal.

I stole all the carrot cake cookies , love the ambiance and vibe of employees. Definitely made it feel like an at home experience. If you haven't stopped by definitely do so. You might not know what hidden gem you're passing by

Well I had time to process what I had not only today but the past 4 times I've ordered Door Dash from there. I still have more to try. My favorites so far are the Original Beef, crawfish (it was for a limited time), Buffalo chicken and Spinich and Artichoke empanadas... so far. I can tell that these empanadas are made with love. Now what I tried so far, I Now want to go there personally and try the other menu items out. I'm excited to see the service and ambiance for myself. If you're looking for a place that serves tasty empanadas that are homemade and made with love, this is the place for you.

Do not sleep on this place guys! The Empanada Bar has absolutely delicious breakfast empanadas and coffees! I got the brown sugar shaken espresso which is strong and so creamy and the potato & egg and the chorizo & egg breakfast empanadas and they are absolutely divine! And the fresh salsa adds a perfect kick! I cannot wait to try their lunch menu!

I finally had the chance to check this place out, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! My wife and I shared the Pick 6, which was fantastic, while our kids each enjoyed a cheese pizza empanada. We wrapped up the meal with a refreshing iced cafe con leche — the perfect finishing touch!
