This place is a hidden gem! Seriously some of the best empanadas I’ve had, and tons of options. Sweet, savory, you name it! All of the ones we tried were great. The salad it comes with it super fresh, and the potatoes were perfectly cooked as well. Coffee was tasty and made to order. The sauces were also delicious and tasted homemade. 🤤A great spot! Fast and wonderful service as well.🥟

THE best artisan empanadas. The name is not deceiving. They are DELICIOUS! I had the potato egg and cheese and it was to die for. Their potatoes with feta cheese and parsley are very good as well. I ordered chimichurri as sauce and dipped everything in it. I wish they bottled it so I could take some home with me. It is THAT good.We sat outside, as the weather was beautiful. They have two small tables. Parking is free and easy to come by. Highly highly recommend this place.

I recently stumbled upon the hidden gem of empanada goodness in our area, and I can’t stop raving about it! The empanadas are simply the best – bursting with flavor and perfectly crafted. What makes the experience even more delightful is the exceptional service. The staff is not only polite but also incredibly efficient.The clean and beautifully decorated ambiance adds another layer to the overall experience. It’s evident that Best Artisan empanadas takes pride not only in the quality of their empanadas but also in maintaining a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing environment. It’s a rare combination of mouthwatering flavors, top-notch service, and a charming atmosphere. I can confidently say I’ve found my go-to spot for empanadas, and I can’t wait to return!

The empanadas were amazing here. They have a few vegetarian options.We took Mediterranean and apple cranberry. Mediterranean was really good with good amount of filling. Loved the apple cranberry one.The whole shop is themed on Peru and the atmosphere is awesome. Highly recommend this place for some good peruvian empanadas!

This is my new favorite place in the Bay Area! Fantastic food and service, and also the coffee is great. The price is reasonable too, so the only question that remains is - what are you waiting for? You wont be disappointed.

First time there, but Ill be back. I had the Chicken and Cilantro Empanada for lunch, and the peach and blueberry one for dessert. Both were excellent. A small, but important to me, aspect I really like - drinks are in glass, plates are ceramic, utensils are metal - nothing to throw away but the paper napkin. The place is clean, friendly and good value.

We ordered several empanadas: spicy Thai chicken, chicken and mushroom, chicken and cilantro, Philly cheese steak. Most of the empanadas are good. Spicy Thai chicken was okay, but I would recommend getting other empanadas. Some are slightly salty but mostly okay. The fresh ones probably taste even better.Its a nice indoor spot to sit and chat. The staff was really nice and friendly.

The staff was polite, we did take out : the waiting time was 10-15 min.The empanadas were OK, but I expected more deliciously empanadas fillings.I ate one with:🐔Chicken Cilantro $5.35 (here were a lot of cilantro (in my opinion). The dough was tasty, filling was rich and not dry.🇮🇪 italian style: sausages, cheese, a tomato sauce. I like Italian style kitchen, but here this empanadas wasnt tasty. Maybe it was a sauce (too much?).Next time I would like to try other empanadas.

Cute and cozy place, good service, and yummy empanadas. I def recommend the chimichurri. The rocoto is their spicy red sauce- just kind of taste like tobacco sauce to me. I got the Philly cheesesteak and chicken mushroom. I think they’re a little pricey for the size. However these are a lot larger than the ones I had in Argentina but I needed close to two to fill me up and and close to $18 with taxes or so. But they were tasty. They have a lot of options: dessert, vegetarian, chicken, beef, and breakfast. It’s a really cute small intimate place. They also make really good drinks!

Nice place to get some work done in the morning. Came in on a Friday and had the chicken cilantro and the potato,egg, and cheese empanadas with hot chocolate and an iced mocha. All I can say is that the food hit the spot! It was tasty, flaky, and full of flavor. Service was nice, quick, and friendly. Will definitely revisit.

Place was good and quiet on Wednesday morning. If the crowd’s less, they aren’t cleaning table right away, I was finding crumbs on the table.They bake their empanadas I believe, tasted fresh. I’d give it a try.

As a Peruvian, I want to say that their flavor of the traditional empanada is spot on. If you want to experience it “Peruvian” style, ask for lime on the side. I cannot ask for anything else out of this place everything is clean and fresh. This has been my go to for my wife and I for a quick lunch.

Not every empanada place is created equal and this place definitely deserves its name! I had the chicken mushroom variety and it knocked my socks off! Flavor was right and wonderfully creamy and the crust was nice and flaky! Friendly staff and plenty of seating but inside and out! You cannot go wrong with this place!

Great LARGE empanadas, perfect for a picnic at the park! You can have them heated and eat there on the cute patio, or take them cold to warm up at home (what I did for dinner). I ordered a la carte (see receipt for prices). Very tasty and a good addition to the local food scene. Each empanada has a different topping so you know which is which. Cant wait to try all of them!I learned from chatting with them that the same family owns Big E Café

Awesome empanadas. Tried a few different flavors ( ham-cheese-eggs, lomo, classic beef, chichen cliantro) and loved all. The dough is nice, and the filling very flavorfull. Cant wait to go back to try a few more.

I happened to wander into this place while waiting to pick up food from another store in the complex. I love empanadas and had not heard of this place before. The person at the counter recommended the traditional beef and the chicken mushroom as the most popular. I got the chicken mushroom as she mentioned the beef may be a little more dry. Loved it and strongly recommend this place. Will be back for the beef.

Took my family here to eat dinner. The food tasted great, and we had excellent customer service. We tried the chicken and mushroom (with chimichurri sauce), gyro (with tzatziki sauce) and apple cranberry empanadas. All were delicious and filling. We also had a blueberry scone and blueberry muffins which my kids loved. Everything cost about $25 which is very affordable for feeding a whole family at dinner. We will definitely come back here again.

Amazing!! This little spot is reasonably priced and always hits the spot. Very good espresso drinks too. Staff always kind. Ambience not the best- wall paint color is an interesting choice, would suggest something more warm and cozy if they ever get around to painting the place. But my five stars are for food and the rest! Thanks lovely people!

We ordered 2 empanadas egg/sausage and mushroom/chicken, and 2 sauces - mango chutney and chimichurri. Everything was tasty, empanadas alone are good already, the sauces add flavor without being overly salty or sugary. The staff is friendly and the service is great. Thank you.

It was really good, me and my family live in San Ramon and we came to the great America mall and we chose to eat here and it was amazing!! They also gave us one free fruit empanada(Im not sure what you call it but I think it was like an empanada with fruits in it) because we came here all the way from San Ramon !!★ The food is really good and the workers are really nice too I love it.

Empanadas are delicious and prices are reasonable. Customer service is attentive, fast, and friendly. They have patio and in person dining. Only wish is for them to use bigger pieces of meat, ie chicken and lamb in their empanadas and to expand their sweet empanadas to more choices. Still they were all tasty and delicious. WILL BE BACK!!

I came here for lunch with my partner after seeing the business while passing down Campbell Ave. Best Decision Ever! These empanadas are not only affordable but they are delicious and very well made. They have a variety of breakfast, savory, and sweet empanadas to please everyone. My partner and I split 4 empanadas: bacon egg and cheese, Thai chicken, lomo, and chicken and mushroom. We also got the peach and mango shakers to drink and they were amazing. Definitely would come here again to enjoy the delicious food and amazing service.

Wide assortment of delicious and savory empanadas. They al also serve specialty coffees and other drinks. Who doesnt like a hand pie??? Tried the breakfast empanada with bacon and eggs. So good! Flaky crust and filling was baked just right. Add a latte to equal perfection! They do also offer sweet empanadas. Yum!

This is a true find right across the street from Campbell Park. Empanadas are awesome without a doubt, but try their espresso drinks. Best in the south bay by far!Try this family owned small business you will love it and come back again and again.

The best empanadas I’ve ever had. Visiting family in Campbell and we were looking for a place to grab a quick bite before starting our day. We got 2 Lomo’s (amazing), chicken and mushroom (amazing), and Egg potatoes cheese (amazing). Each one stood on their own but then he offers us a choice of chutneys… life changing… and the Mango was perfect for sweet and spicy. The chimichurri was delicious.Last but definitely not least, they have great drip coffee. Smooth, not acidic at all. Could drink cup after cup. :)I’ll be picking up some more before I get back on the plane ride home!

HOLY MOLY - stop what you are doing and go here. It was outstanding. We got the lomo, egg potato and cheese and the chicken and mushroom. All we’re truly amazing but the chicken and mushroom will chase my dreams forever. Don’t sleep on the sauces either - we tried the chimichurri and the mange chutney and I want to pour those on anything and everything I eat. GO HERE NOW
