The Empanada Maker - Irvine

I usually go to the Costa Mesa location which make them great. This is my first time going to the Irvine location... and definitely the last. I had Groupon for 1dz and I also bought about $40 more of extra empanadas. In total is was about 16 or 17 Empanadas and 4 dessert empanadas.... they all went in the trash. The desserts was nothing like the pictures and were all just full of custard. The actual empanadas which ranged from chicken, Spinach, veggie were all overly sour like it had vinegar. It was such a waste.

Get the Philly cheesesteak! It won't disappoint. Flaky and not too think crust with delicious flavors. Also got the beef pot roast empanada. Sooo yummy and definitely worth a try!

Well, I ordered the empanadas online for delivery. The order went through with no problem, but after an hour of waiting I finally got a phone call from the driver telling me that they ran out of empanas. I was confused so I called the restaurant and some girl answered and confirmed that she SENT THE DRIVER away 2 TIMES and asked him if TO CALL ME TO TELL ME they have NO EMPANADAS. She said that the manager is not available, and advised me to call the location in Mission VIejo. Called the business and they sent me back to Irvine by that time I had enough with the horrible customer service. At the end, I had no empanas and no money back because they couldn 't figure it out...No resolution! Listen Cameron! If you want to be a typical white dude that calls himself MR. Worldwide for traveling to Argentina and learned about the culture to bring it to USA, and make money out of my culture (yes, I am from South America and I know empanadas better than you. I grew up with them) then you need to fix your business etiquette. Making money out something that doesn 't belong to you and being an a is not good.

Definitely 5 stars for the taste and variety of empanadas. I had the original beef, ham and cheese, and chicken florentine specialty. All were excellent!!! But lose a star due to inconvenience and sauce issue. This site is part of SmartKitchens, where you share the front desk with a bunch of other kitchens and is managed by kiosks and ring doorbells. Took over 45 minutes for a dozen and there was no one to tell me how much longer I needed to wait (no one answered to my doorbell). I made the mistake of not ordering online. The online ordering includes a large sauce when ordering a dozen, but not when you order at the kiosk. That 's fine, so I ordered 3 large (4 oz) chimichurri sauces, but they gave me 6 regular (1.5 oz) instead. And by the way, buying 3 regular size chimichurri sauces gives you 0.5 oz more for the same price as paying for a large.I 'll re-review with a 5 star on my next visit if the taste remains the same and ordering goes well.

Came to pick up an order and no one was available for the longest time. Decided to leave. Very dissatisfied.
