Jumbo Empanadas - Toronto, Ontario

Follow @bredgyeats for yummy food pictures! You can truly get a jumbo empanada, filled generously with ground beef, onions and olives. The pastry was crisp and not too dry, where you can also douse it in a spicy and tangy tomato salsa.

It was referred to me by a friend from Chile and it did not disappoint. I picked the chicken empanada and 2 of the 3 desserts to take home. The empanada was 1/2 lb and filled with lots of meat and 1 black olive and 1/2 hard boiled egg. Very ... tasty and filling. Desert was fabulous and gave the other to my friend. Will return very soon to try different dishes. Prices were great! Read more

A small empanada spot with some seating areas. They are pretty strict about no outside food and drinks, which is fair. We got the veggie and chicken empanadas to share. Served with salsa, the empanadas are pretty good. The fillings aren’t too heavy (mushroom, spinach, tomatos for the veggie and chicken ... with boiled egg for the other), it’s a nice light meal to enjoy while you’re out and about at Kensington market.

The $7 beef empanada was definitely jumbo sized! The dough was great! It had a crisp outside and soft inside, which we liked. The contents were just ok. It could've used more flavour, and there was only one chunk of boiled egg and olive each, and I prefer smaller pieces ... that are more dispersed. We also wanted to try the cheese empanada, but they ran out since it was near closing time. Read more

Empanadas look great and really are jumbo sized. We ordered a chicken empanada. It wasn't warmed properly. The inside was cold. Good for take out though.
