What Luciano Moretti doesn't like about Jumbo Empanadas:
Very small, dirty and bad ventilated place. Our clothes ended smelling of fat and oil. I cook empanadas at home, so I can say that these empanadas have too much dough and too little fill. In addition, a tasty empanada must drip juice from the cooked meat, but these ones just dripped oil. The attendant was extremely unpleasant and rude. Won 't return. View all feedback. What David D likes about Jumbo Empanadas:
Our International Food Tour stopped here for some empanadas, which was delicious. They also provide some Humitas as well and a salsa mix to add. We also tried their Inca Cola which is apparently common down there. View all feedback.

The empanadas are made earlier a day, so if you heat it up, it is a little chewing. I'll say there's a lot of shredded chicken in the...

The quaint and small Jumbo Empanadas restaurant serves up delicious and, you guessed it, JUMBO Chilean empanadas. These were probably the cleanest, non-greasies...

A large selection of emapanadas baked all day long so always fresh. Owned by the same lady since it opened about 25 years ago.

Located in Kensington Market, this Chilean empanada spot offers a taste of authentic Latin American cuisine. Despite some negative feedback regarding grease and authenticity, many reviewers praised the jumbo empanadas filled with flavorful ingredients like chicken, beef, and vegetables. The salsa provided added a nice kick of spice and tanginess. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff also earned high marks from customers. With reasonable prices and generous portions, this hidden gem is definitely worth a visit for a satisfying and affordable meal in Toronto.
