Good food

It's in a strip mall but don't let that stop you from getting some take-out. Really good food and good prices.

I've had empanadas before and didn't like it, until I tried the empanadas from the Empanada Man. OMG! Food from heaven!

Delicious Pizza

Mar 2018 • family

My wife and I stayed at the Prominence Hotel and we had a taste for pizza one night. From our hotel room window, we could see the Empanada Man restaurant conveniently located across the street. We called and ordered a pizza for pickup. I walked over, picked up the pizza and a few minutes later we were eating the hot, delicious pizza. Very good.

*** BEST FIND ***

May 2017 • couples

So my fiancé and ordered a pizza with a couple of the beef empanadas. Wow !! We wished we had ordered one of every empanada on their menu. These guys love what they do and it shows in their food. I wish their was an Empanada Man in Ventura County where we reside.

New favorite spot! Delicious!

Nov 2016 • family

My family loves this place! We go here almost every week and the staff is always friendly. We love trying the different flavors of Empanadas and have not found a flavor we don't like! Every bite is delicious! Each empanada is home made and tastes just like the ones I had in South America- but right here in Orange County! I highly recommend! P.s the pizza is also amazing! Go there today!

When we are in town visiting the area, we stop by for a variety of empanadas. We usually get a dozen 6 to eat in at the restaurant with a salad and 6 to snack on later. Chorizo Spinach Ricotta & Mushrooms Chili Verde Pork Pepperoni & Sausage Garlic Potato Everything is fresh and tasty.

After MANY years I was asked to pay for various small containers of sauces (take-out). Will never go back

May 2016 • solo

We have been going to Empanada Man for years and have enjoyed the pizza. Even though they are further and more expensive than other Pizzerias closer to home, we really like the Chimichurri, pink and pizza sauce, and they always give me little containers of each. Today, for the first time ever, they wanted to charge me for each of the sauces. I told the young lady that we have been coming here for years and never paid before and she said they were supposed to. I then said if we eat-in, they bring over large bottles of the sauces and she made some excuse. I said fine, this will be the last time we come here for pizza and simply go elsewhere. Very foolish on their part.

Best Empanadas in Orange County

Aug 2015 • family

We've been buying and enjoying empanadas here for years. Very authentic run by an Argentinian family. Their pizza is good two. Don't be surprised as there are a lot of Italians in Buenos Aires. Try the salteñas empanadas.
