Makus Empanadas 1125 West North Carolina 54, Durham, NC 27707

"Only have ordered through GrubHub so I can’t attest to the dine in experience. Correct orders every time, and the chicken empanadas with chimichurri are amazing!"

"I placed a catering order for 5 varieties of empanadas for a group of ~35. The first unexpected bonus was that delivery was included. This eliminated a stressor for me on event day. The food arrived on time and in warming trays that were clearly labeled and could be popped into the oven. Our guests were not arriving for ~25 minutes, and I was instructed to warm them for 5 minutes just before serving rather than leaving them in a warm oven for 25 minutes. That worked well, and they were delicious! The sauce was also excellent. The chicken and pork varieties went first, followed by the spinach, vegetarian and beef. This was my first time trying Makus after seeing various signs around town, and I’m glad I did!"

"We got catering here and it was a good change from pizza and sandwiches. The empanadas are yummy. They have a cute letter on each of them so you know which flavor they are. So fun."

"I thought I would give them a try and was excited for a change of pace. The good first, the food was fresh and not heavy on my stomach, the not so good, the price is in-line with what you are going to pay just about anywhere, but the food should be worth it. I did like the dough but overall they were incredibly bland. Not flavorful at all, I had the pork and spinach. The black beans and rice was just ok. I probably will not return."

"Very disappointed about these “empanada’s”. They have some filling along with the “meat” and some onions. Not a fan. Did not have much of a taste at all. The chicken one seemed like real chicken. The beef did not taste like real beef . I tried the spinach and cheese as well that was probably the best one but still didn’t finish any. Overall disappointed. Suggestion: maybe change the filling ingredients and let customers know onions are included …"
