Empanadas 5411 - Chicago

This is a fantastic spot for a fast lunch break. I tried the curry chicken, ratatouille, and Malbec beef, and each dish had its own distinct and delicious flavor. The prices are quite fair, and the restaurant is clean and has a relaxed atmosphere. I would give the food a perfect 5 out of 5 rating.

I was just thinking today that I want to come back here soon. It's a great spot for a delicious meal and excellent wine before a show at The Music Box. I would give the food a rating of 4 out of 5.

So many delicious options and unique combos. Really appreciate the decoder that comes with your order when you get a bunch. We tried a lot and no complaints about any of them. Some favorites: mac and cheese, goat cheese and date, chorizo potato seasonal(? . Came out surprisingly fast for our large order and the employee was patient with us first timers.

A fun snack for sure! I will say, they are doughier and smaller than competing empanadas. I appreciate the variety and flavor but I found it to be hit or miss. Service was pleasant. A bit pricy but that's to be expected here in Chicago.
