The 12 best spots for empanadas in Quito

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Baked's delivery service. The food arrived promptly and was still as amazing as if it had been served fresh at the restaurant. The flavors were exceptional, and the house empanada was delicious. I'm thoroughly impressed with the seamless delivery experience and the outstanding quality of the food.

Nice lunch spot near Parque Carolina! Champion pizza was excellent, as was mora juice. The server was very attentive, helpful, and patient as our group of 5 figured out what to order.

I highly recommend this restaurant for all your pizza and empanada needs!

Small but cosy restaurant near La Carolina park. Ideal if you want to pop in for tasty food while visiting the park

This is great place for eating empanadas

Delicious and cheap!

Excellent

My Hawaiian pizza was pretty good, maybe a little pricey. My friends empanadas were great (especially the caramelized onion) and cute with the restaurant logo branded on it. Great vibe inside, and they have a generator to stay open during blackouts. They were out of brownies:(

Best empanadas in all of Quito. the restaurant is very cute and the prices are reasonable. Empanadas are made fresh everytime. Don't hesitate to come here!

(Translated by Google) Intimate. That's the word I would use to describe this place because it's small, cozy, and quiet. If you're looking for a getaway from the city to a very peaceful place, this is the place. You could go with your wife, girlfriend, or friend; you could also take them to your grandparents' house or just chat with your partner. About the food? I can vouch for the empanadas, because I always order them. They're made to order, and even though they're small, they're also filling. I don't know how they do it, but after two or three, you're already full. They're made to order, so they're fresh, with excellent dough and filling. (Original) Íntimo. Es la palabra con la que describiría a este lugar por lo pequeño, acogedor, tranquilo. Si buscas una escapada de la ciudad a un lugar muy tranquilo, este es el sitio. Podrias ir con tu esposa, novia, amigo o amiga, también los podrías llevar a tus abuelos o conversar con tu socio. Sobre la comida? Puedo dar fe de las empanadas, por que siempre las pido. Las hacen en ese instante, aunque son pequeños, también están rendidoras. No se como le hacen pero con unas dos o tres ya estas lleno. Las hacen en ese instante por lo que están frescas, excelente masa y contenido.

(Translated by Google) Delicious pizza, crispy crust that's not too thin, and the cheese is excellent. The wait is worth it; it takes about 20 minutes. I ordered takeout since the place is small. (Original) Deliciosa pizza, masa crujiente a la vez que no es tan delgada y el queso es excelente. La espera vale la pena se demoran como 20 minutos. Pedi para llevar ya que el local está pequeño.

(Translated by Google) Some baked empanadas, just remembering them makes me want to go back! I brought about 20 empanadas to a family gathering and they didn't even leave any crumbs... I'll be back to try the pizza! (Original) Unas empanadas al horno, que solo acordarme me da un antojo de volver! Llevé como 20 empanadas a una reunión familiar y no dejaron ni las migas... Regresaré a probar la pizza!

(Translated by Google) Super friendly people, excellent food, considerably quick wait. (Original) Gente super amable, la comida excelente, espera considerablemente rapida.

(Translated by Google) I found a hair in my piece of pizza, for the price I do expect more care or at least some compensation or apology. (Original) Encontré un pelo en mi pedazo de pizza, para el precio si espero más cuidado o por lo menos alguna compensación o disculpa.

Eddy is a fantastic waiter and made sure that I had a lovely evening. It must be off season as I was the only one in the restaurant. I stuck to the local cuisine ordering the cheese, potato and avocado soup and goat dish. I mean, they were okay but not unreal. The gut had a lot to be desired but overall it was a pleasant evening and I was looked after

Nice location and setting in a typical casona. Ordered the seco de chivo (goat), size was a bit small for the price but quality good and service very good.

This was a wonderful experience complete with delicious food, chill music and exceptionally sweet waiters. Unmissable!

We only spent one day in Quito and we came here for coffee mid morning and loved it so much that we came back for dinner. We had the most amazing service, coffee, and then at dinner we had wonderful mussels and an excellent bottle of brut rose. This place has a beautiful atmosphere. Very upscale without being super expensive. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful restaurant with really delicious Ecuadorian meals. Service is excellent and they make great Canelasso drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

Fantastic food and fantastic service!! This place was just amazing. Our waiter did it all , set the table , took our order , made our delicious drinks, got all of food out and everything!! I recommend this place their deserts, entrees and empanadas were amazing!!!

Great location and good looking interior. Enjoyed our meal here, tried many Ecuadorian foods which were new to us. But the prawn ceviche was rather tough, and the sliced pork with passion fruit sauce was so tough that I had to leave half of it on the plate.

(Translated by Google) I ordered frozen empanadas to fry, they offer 6 for $9.95 (expensive) but I still ordered, I didn't pay attention to the product they gave me (because I trusted whoever delivered), I was in a hurry and they put everything in a bag and then in a box (not even possibility to review) and when I got home I realized that they gave me 5 extremely thin empanadas, all broken and apart with no filling and the taste not pleasant either. I don't recommend this place. (Original) Pedí empanadas congeladas para freir, ofrecen 6 por $9.95 (caro) pero aún así pedí, no me fijé en el producto que me entregaron (por confiar en quien despacha), andaba de apuro y metieron todo en una funda y luego en caja (ni posibilidad de revisar) y cuando llegué a casa me di cuenta que me dieron 5 empanadas extremadamente delgadas, todas rotas y aparte con nada de relleno y el sabor nada agradable tampoco. No recomiendo este lugar.

(Translated by Google) I ordered some empanadas and half a liter of morocho for $15 USD through Uber Eats, a complete SCAM... the morocho is disgusting, I never believed that someone could liquefy manure with milk and that it would result in a horrible white paste... I didn't even give myself the cost of trying it but I think it tasted rancid... but that's not the worst. The empanadas had a strange taste, the cheese was totally sour (damaged) this place must immediately improve its quality of food... the price does not seem appropriate to the quality of the service they offer. (Original) Pedí por uber eats unas empanadas y medio litro de morocho en $15 usd, una completa ESTAFA... el morocho un asco, nunca creí que alguien pueda licuar estiércol con leche y que diera como resultado una pasta blanca horrorosa... ni si quiera me di el costo de probarlo pero creo que sabía a rancio... pero eso no es lo peor. Las empanadas tenían un sabor raro, el queso estaba totalmente agrio (dañado) este local debe mejorar de inmediato su calidad de comida... el precio no me parece adecuado para la calidad del servicio que ofrecen.

(Translated by Google) Since '99 during Quito's festivities, the empanada and glass of beer combo has been the winner. I have never had a bad time at this place. Once they gave me some morocho doughs with chocolate to try and they were good too! (Original) Desde el 99 en plenas fiestas de Quito, el combo empanada y vaso de cerveza ha sido el ganador. Nunca me ha ido mal en este local. Una vez me dieron de probar unas masas de morocho con chocolate y estaban buenas también!

(Translated by Google) Empanadas filled with meat? What a terrible experience I just had. (UPDATE -It brought almost no or no meat in some -If we talk about tradition, a good morocho empanada is served with peanut chili, not that chili with a strange flavor between lemon or sour, who knows? What they sent me for delivery -I know that the morocho ones always have an excess of oil but you missed that the bottom empanadas were watery from the oil that had come out of the top ones. -I come back and repeat, terrible experience in delivery because if I was in the restaurant I would send it back immediately) (Original) Empanadas ¿rellenas de carne? Que pésima experiencia me acabo de llevar (ACTUALIZACIÓN -No traía casi nada o nada de carne en algunas -Si hablamos de tradición, una buena empanada de morocho se sirve con ají de maní, no de ese ají de sabor extraño entre limón o agrio ¿quien sabe? Que me mandaron por delivery -Se que las de morocho tienen un exceso de aceite siempre pero ustedes se pasaron que las empanadas de abajo estaban aguadas del aceite que había salido de las de arriba -Vuelvo y repito, pésima experiencia en delivery xq si estaba en el restaurante mandaba devolviendo inmediatamente)

(Translated by Google) Excellent Morocho and Morocho empanadas, good promotions, place has tables to eat and if you buy 9 empanadas they give you the tenth one for free. (Original) Excelente el Morocho y las empanadas de Morocho, buenas promociones, lugar cuenta con mesas para comer y si compras 9 empanadas te regalan la décima.

(Translated by Google) The worst morocho I have ever tried, I got carried away by the good rating on Uber East and surprise, the horrible morocho. (Original) El peor morocho que he probado, me deje llevar por la buena calificación en uber east y sospresa, el morocho horrible.

(Translated by Google) Very good flavor and the chili is spectacular. I will definitely come back (Original) Muy buen sabor y el ají es espectacular. Voy a volver definitivamente

Very delicious, large, inexpensive empanadas. I highly recommend this place! So good that I ate it before I could take a picture of it, lol.

Delicious cornmeal empanadas stuffed full with meat and cheese for a great price. Vegetarian options also available. Fantastic stop for lunch. A+

Decent and local place for authentic empanadas

Best empanada I've had! Super fresh, not too greasy, just amazing!

Greasy food joint that might hit a spot once in a while. The seating area is very basic, noisy, and drafty. Best you can say about these empandas is that they're cheap & filling.

Wow! Amazing empanadas, super cheap, awesome staff. I will crave these forever now. Eat these empanadas folks!!

Best place for eating Venezuelan empanadas in Quito. They serve the biggest empanadas I've seen here. The service is really good.

(Translated by Google) They are the best chips in the north!!! The bag they come in always brings the best messages and the sauces are spectacular!!! If someone asks me about the best chips, we already know where to ask!! 😁😁 (Original) Son las mejores papitas del norte!!! la bolsa en la que vienen siempre traen los mejores mensajes y las salsas son espectaculares!!! si alguien me pregunta por las mejores papitas ya sabemos a donde pedir!! 😁😁

Good Mercado, clean and sections by foods they sell, the cons only the location… eat breakfast in Rosita tortilla 1st floor - lower floor… very good and very reasonable

A true experience. They have everything from local fruits to entrails (yuck!). Kind people, welcoming. The fruit lady allowed me to sample fruits before I bought them, cute.

A traditional market of Quito. In general you can buy groceries there, especially fresh from farms. There is a food court too, for traditional food, in particular the croaker with potatoes. The Quito experience must include a visit to a market. Just be careful outside. It's safe in general but be careful.

Beautiful market, very centrally located. Very large selection of food and juices, as well as fruit and vegetables. We tried our way through several food stalls and loved everything. If you come after the big lunch rush, it's not so crowded. Very clean.

Amazing Ecuadorian food. The neighbourhood isn't the best, so don't flash your phones. I walked here from Plaza Grande, then walked all the way to La Floresta. I did not have any issues, but you do pass a few sketchy patches during the latter. Definitely worth a visit for the food. I tried hornado here, which was pretty good. I'll be making a round 2 soon to try something different.

The market itself is interesting. Wide variety of food and vegetables and other articles. But beware of the area and streets behind. I witnessed a snatch and the poor tourist girl shouted and ran away. No one around moved !

If you order something, you must first confirm the price with the vendor because many of them will try to overcharge you at the end if you are a foreigner. Even if the price is written on a list above the vendor, they will create excuses to charge you more. The fruit vendors will also try to rip you off, even if they have a price list. Its better to just buy fruit in a supermarket, or outside the central market in one of the street stands. They are more honest than the ones at the central market. The food from the restaurant vendors that i tried also wasn't great. Mostly bland.

The collosal made-to-order empanada (with rice, meat, and peas) is served piping hot with two delicious homemade sauces. It's also close to the TeleferiQo and great for an afternoon snack.

A landmark in North of the Quito Ecuador. The size of the dishes are original and well done. The owner is 30 years in the business and she gives special attention to any table. The taste of the empanadas is amazing. Recommend.

Overrated empanadas, they were good and big, unfortunately most of it was crust, not filling, filling was very little. But they were tasty. The cook/owner was a very talkative pleasant lady who does the cooking and serves the order. The neighborhood was a bit lonely and out of the way, even though we had no problems and saw nothing to be concerned, we were always and actively looking to see if a unsafe moment or situation occurred. I don't know if I would recommend going there after sun set.

Alicia is nothing short of a genius. And a nice one too. The best in town, deserves a special trip! It should really get *** on Michelin, if only for the divine crunch.

The empanadas were delicious!! Highly recommend! The restaurant is cozy and inexpensive too.

Amazingly good! The owner is super super nice!

Wow, this place is great! The owner is super sweet and will proudly show you how she makes these giant empanadas. Great filtered coffee, not the pour it into the water that's brought to you! Also, there's rooms upstairs for rent with a great view of the city!

#SustainableNomads #AllVegan #Organic Only for $5.70, you can enjoy an amazing vegan lunch! Unlike other westernized vegan restaurants, the food here is very authentic and healthy(not too sweet nor salty). Highly recommend it!

We had the best vegan food in all Ecuador. A huge and tasty menu (soup, snack, dish, desert, tea and drink) for just 5$. And the service is great - the lady was friendly and very welcoming.

A must-eat for vegetarians and vegans looking for a cheap, but hearty & healthy lunch. Every day, there's another menu ; always varied and healthy. Only organic veggies, no dairy, eggs, greasy foods or artificial stuff. You get soup + main + juice + tea + dessert for $4.25: that's a very good price for such varied food! The service is ok: very friendly ladies, and the place isn't the brightest, cleanest nor best maintained restaurant of Quito. It's colorful and cozy for sure! We've been here a few times now and tend to order one regular and one half menu, "medio almuerzo". It's just a bit cheaper but at the least it's "finishable"! The regular portions are quite big.

Delicious vegetarian and vegan food cheap menu of the day with everything included for five dollars. Nice ambience and cute decor. Maybe a social enterprise or NGO vibe.

STOP SEARCHING FOR OTHER PLACES AND COME HERE NOW. Oh, and THIS is the correct location. If you are looking for delicious, healthy, plant-based food that is authentically Andean, this is the place. Many vegan places here cater to tourists and don’t veganize the local cuisine much. The first pic is the “almuerzo completo” and we also asked for the ceviche de chocho (a local legume that is super delicious). The ceviche isn’t listed on the menu oddly so ask for it. Peruse photos here of what you like and ask if it’s available — odds are they’ll make it. This has probably been my single best gastronomic experience in Quito, a city where the vegan community is still small and many places are on the underseasoned side. Did I mention it is a Big Bang for your buck?? We spent $7 on this food and walked out stuffed. I can’t wait to come back! Tip: they are open only til 6 but sometimes close earlier so try giving them a call first to see if they’re open so you don’t make your trip in vain.

Great service, delicious healthy food, good price, and they have produce for sale. This was my one-stop shop to get dinner and grab groceries all-in-one!

We came around 10:45am and they seemed to be close. After a few moments, someone let us inside and another person arrived to take our order. We got two vegan lunches, served in two courses, and everything felt light, flavorful, and filling. The portions were large and the food was simple, just as we like it. Highly recommend - I would come back here over and over again. I wish they made food like this in the USA

I had a baked empanada with ground beef, and two fried ones, morocho and chicken. They were pretty good, I liked the morocho the best. Not a fan of this ají, creamy but no bite of spice. I would probably try another place next time, just did not have that homemade flavor to me.

Very bad customer service.. not attentive.

(Translated by Google) The empanadas are expensive and taste literally the same as those at the supermaxi. The man who served us was not very friendly nor did he really try to serve customers well. What I do highlight is that the place is beautiful, comfortable and pet friendly. (Original) Las empanadas son caras y saben literalmente igual a las del supermaxi. El señor que nos atendió no fue muy amable ni trataba de realmente servir bien a los clientes. Lo que si destaco es que el lugar es bonito, cómodo y pet friendly.
