Amazing! If you are thinking about trying this place .. do It!!! We ordered a mixed dozen to go (stay at home... orders). Not sure of which ones to try we order a mixed dozen and went with 2 of several different kinds. They were all great but the original was my favorite! Again, sooo good! The chimichurri sauce is a wonderful addition. All in all, great flavor, very filling, and kind service. Will defiantly be visiting again and again and again :)read more

One of my favorite spots to eat, EVER! The Empanada Club has delicious, authentic food, a great staff, and a clean,... quiet atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough! I LOVE that they don't fry or microwave their empanadas before they serve them, but rather use a high-tech convection oven, which makes them PERFECT for eating.read more

The place was very clean and the service, spot on. The menu was explained very well and the food we wanted was readily... available. After a few minutes the food was served hot. The empanadas were not fried but baked. They had authentic ingredients freshly made earlier that day. The taste was also in line with the authenticity of Argentina.read more

Friendly staff is more than happy to help and provide the story around their place. The empanadas are top flight, and... chimichurri is dynamite... Seriously good stuff. Wash it all down with a beer (multiples on tap/bottle/can) or a class of wine. Nice little place to grab a brew and a bite with friends or fam.read more

My parents are from Mendoza, Argentina. I grew up eating authentic empanadas, and since moving to Boise nine years ago,... it's one of the foods I miss most. This place just opened six weeks ago, and it's legit! Nine+ varieties of empanadas, from the very traditional to creative varieties influenced by other cultures. The owners are very nice, welcoming, and happy to answer all your questions about these amazing empanadas. Very clean, modern, and comfortable ambiance, grab a glass of wine, some empanadas, and finish it off with a freshly baked sweet. A must try, no matter where you live in the Treasure Valley, it's worth the drive.read more

Empanada means Delicious in Castellano (the language of Argentina). The Empanada Club serves up authentic empanadas al... horno (baked) just like your mother makes (if you mother happens to live in Argentina and knows a fantastic homemade empanada recipe). If your mother doesn't make empanadas then you're in luck... The Empanada Club will hook you up.read more
