The best empanadas I’ve had so far! We had with beef and mozzarella and tomatoes, so juicy, finest dough. Cheese snacks with the sauce were delicious too. Perfect location too, you can enjoy empanadas in a nearby small park.

Best place ever, I have been looking for 2 years where I can find empanadas that remind me home, this was the place that did it, it was love at first bite, I have to admit I cried a little bit when I tried the empanadas, they are amazing, the people are amazing, the place is amazing. Thank you for bringing the best food from South America, love you guys.

The place is small in size but one gets a rich feel of the Argentinian street food (snacks) and in a nice artful seating place. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and the culture. Outside seating places are setup for summer weather. Enough cad parking place but it’s tricky to find the place with GPS. A call to the restaurant may help if needed.

Empacho is an absolute gem for anyone craving an authentic taste of Argentina. The empanadas are simply incredible - the perfect blend of flaky pastry and flavorful fillings. I was blown away by the complexity of flavors in each bite. I especially loved the beef salta. But the culinary experience doesn't stop there. Their cold brew Yerba Mate is a refreshing and invigorating complement to the savory dishes. It's clear that Empacho is passionate about delivering an authentic and unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommend!

This was a real treat. Friendly service. Didn't need to wait long. The two beef empanadas, (both kinds), were delicious. The chorizo was good with the sauce and the pumpkin was surprisingly good too. Also we tried two of the deserts and they were both delicious too. We look forward to visiting this place again! Only criticism is that it's a very small space with about enough room for 2 to 3 couples of people to sit and eat. I think it's more for pickup and go.

Awesome, quick, and, ¡muy delicioso! Got a free empanada by coming in dancing! So already off to a great start. Went with my partner and even though we were together since we were both dancing, we both got free empanadas!! Now let me tell you about ‘em... Crispy flaky dough, packed with filling that was rich with flavor and love. Added a salsa which helped to give more depth to the flavor and really made the empanadas sing on the pallet. Getting two free Empanadas economical price for each (4-5) us trying and delighting in 4 different ones (all featured in photos). 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be stopping by and dancing through to enjoy when I’ve got a hankering. Can’t wait to try the rest of what they have to offer! Also they staff was very relaxed and welcoming. We also went on a Saturday afternoon round 2ish and it was calm inside. No wait for us to order and we got them within 60 seconds of paying!

Empacho stopped by my company's cafeteria last week. Full disclosure I am originally from Argentina, so I was obviously curious, and I spoke to Gonzalo who is the owner. He was super nice and gave me two free empanadas to try. I had the meat empanada, and spinach/cheese. They were both delicious and the masa was exquisite. I would highly suggest that you try Empacho Empanadas if you are looking for that true Argentine taste in Metro Detroit!
