Lazo Empanadas 908 Northeast 62nd Street, Oakland Park, FL 33334

"I spotted this empanadas place. I wondered if they were Argentinian empanadas. Nailed it—and oh so good! It was mid afternoon and fortunately not very busy because they prepare them while you wait. You can also buy them frozen to heat & serve at home. The attendant was very helpful, answering my questions and sharing some recommendations. He then went back to the kitchen to fill my small order of one caprese, one BBQ chicken, and one spinach empanada. They were delicious and I will return!"

"Just wow. The best empanadas. Served hot and fresh. We ordered spicy beef, spicy steak and spicy chicken. Waited about five minutes. The server was personable and helpful. We enjoyed every bite. Spicy chicken was my favorite. Beautifully flaky crust and super flavorful meat filling."

"Good service, and the place was very clean. They serve empanadas and that’s it which is what I was looking for. The empanadas looked good and had a solid texture. Has a real good juicy element to it when bitting in so get some napkins. Lots of different kinds, from beef, chicken, steak, sweets and other combinations with cheese. Restaurant has sauces that I’ve never seen before to go with the empanadas. I would say all flavors were a bit mild. Even spicy was mild, no real deep traditional flavors, or spices. All around good experience, they were hot and fresh a little salt would have made it perfect. So if you prefer a less authentic and more mainstream this is a 10. If looking for deep authentic flavors, you may be a bit disappointed. Especially considering the price near $3 on average for an empanada."

"Very clean spot the gentleman was nice the only reason I give it 4 stars is because it needed some seasoning. It was a bit bland. We tried spicy steak, steak , ground beef, spicy ground beef, chicken, spinach and cheese and banana and Nutella. Best two was the banana and Nutella and spinach and cheese. The others taste good if u use the hot sauce they have there adds some flavor."

"Cute spot in a strip mall. Very neat and clean. Super friendly environment. Great spot to meet a friend and get a light bite. Wait time was about 10 to 15 minutes and the empanadas came out piping hot. These seemed baked and not fried. These are Argentinian empanadas. I recommend the $6 for $20. Get 3 or 4 savory and then get sweet ones. I recommend the dulce de Leche!"
