World Empanadas

This is an excellent hole-in-the-wall spot. The empanada dough was ok, flavors good. For something quick this is a good bet though.

According to World Empanadas in Burbank, California, “good food takes time” and it’s definitely worth waiting for their made to order namesake empanadas AND fresh, homemade pasta. As a family owned and operated business since 2012, they have kept an extremely loyal clientele through their authentic Argentine-style empanadas with hints of global flavors. Are you a sauce girly or boy? You’re in luck: ask for their popular spicy, smoky chile con carne and chimichurri sauces Featured empanadas: Beef and Potatoes (seasoned ground beef, green olives, potatoes, bell peppers and spices), Breakfast (fresh scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, jack and cheddar cheese, and potatoes), Creamy Corn (sweet corn, cream parm sauce and simmer onions), Spicy Potato (tender potatoes, fried onions, mozzarella cheese, cooked in a spicy salsa verde), ????????Samosa (potatoes, peas, onion, ginger, garlic and garam masala spices, mint chutney), Nutella and Bananas (creamy Nutella and bananas)

World Empanadas excels even with to-go orders! I recently ordered takeout and was thoroughly impressed. The empanadas arrived hot and perfectly crispy, with each one packed full of fresh, flavorful ingredients. The attention to detail in packing ensured that nothing was compromised during transport. The variety of fillings is fantastic, offering something for every taste, from classic beef to savory chicken and vibrant vegetarian options. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the pickup process smooth and hassle-free. World Empanadas proves that their quality and commitment to excellence shine through, whether dining in or enjoying from home. Highly recommend!

World Empanadas in Burbank was a mixed experience for me. It took longer than expected to get just two empanadas, which was a bit frustrating. The outdoor seating area isn’t very enjoyable, it’s hot, with no shade, and feels like you’re sitting right next to the road with tons of cars constantly passing by. As for the food, the empanadas were okay, but honestly, I feel like they’re more hype than substance. That said, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. Overall, not bad, but not sure I’d go out of my way to return.

Don’t sleep on their chimichurri. I love many of their flavors but funny enough I think pepperoni is my favorite. And for those wondering, they do have vegan options. Expect long waits for your order; they take a while to make.

There's so much variety with this place! I wanted to get their $27 box of 6, but if you're ordering or GrubHub, that's not an option. Honestly though, you're probably better ordering at the window, because my GrubHub order was lost anyway, but not a big deal, only took 5 minutes to gather my order together. Oh, and their dessert Nutella + Banana Empanada was really good! Sorry! No pics!

A fun little restaurant with a lot of interesting flavors that will make you want to try them all. Out of the 4 flavors I tried, the Chile con Carne was easily my favorite. It was spicy and delicious! The spinach and cheese and Santa Fe were very solid. The only disappointment was the sausage and biscuits, which I’m not sure was correct as it tasted like it had olives? Regardless, it wasn’t bad, but i won’t be ordering that one again. The pastry itself held up pretty well after being delivered. I also love the little logo on the pastry. I ordered 4 empanadas and that was just the right amount for me, as they quite small. I recommend going here if you like trying a variety of flavors and love a good pastry.

Good, but could use a bit more flavor and the dough could be flakier. Tried the ham and cheese, spinach and 3 cheese (my fav) and the mixed berry. Love how they stamp the flavor initials on the edge!
