Amazing empanadas! I tried 6 different flavors and all of them were delicious. My favorites were the breakfast empanadas. I only wish they gave you more sauce.

My partner and I are huge empanada fans and these might be the best ones yet. The crust is so good and the flavors of each are so good. We got the mushroom (super good and mushroomy) chicken chimichurri (my second favorite so flavorful) and the sierra (my favorite was so flavorful and juicy it was like heaven). I recommend the sweet chili sauce it was so good with all flavors. The employees are super nice and helpful. I really enjoyed it here and crave it often!

THE BEST!! So delicious!! Once you taste one empanada, you’ll want to taste every flavor. They also have beautiful sweet treats. This is a gem of a place. Definitely worth trying. You’ll likely keep going back…

Finally stopped by after dying to try these empanadas for YEARS! I am sad to say we bought a 1/2 doz and they were sad. The empanada itself dry and crusty, not at all what I expected. None of the fillings were to our liking. Tried, breakfast, beef and mushrooms. Really basic bland tasteless. Heartbroken, we tried

Good location. Not much for seating. I understand the empanadas had other ingredients, but the hype of these empanadas did not justify the taste at $4.xx per empanada. Also lacked in portion. The little container of sauce were 0.50 each. Ordered the southwest and chipotle chicken empanadas.

I love this neighborhood mall, there happened to a young man playing cello beautifully. The empenadas are seriously slap your grandma delicious!!! My favorite in the mall so far! The staff were very sweet and didn’t mind explaining unknown ingredients to me and suggestions on what I might like. His customer service goes a long way! Honestly I loved it all ❤️

Freshly baked delicious flakey empanadas with tons of options for filling. Highly recommend! Dont skimp on the chimichurri sauce! The corn and Argentina ones definitely stood out.

Really great options for empanadas. I likes the chicken chimichurri best. The beverages were also very good, with very unique flavors. Finally the shop is located in a mall/market that has many other great shops and cool ambiance!

Excellent! I’ve been wanting to try these for years now. The Caprese was the best of the ones I tried. The girl who worked there (from Venezuela) was super friendly and helpful, explaining the different types and answering any questions. A great product for an even better price, especially in this higher priced market. My family also loved theirs and if I lived in Denver near a location I would eat them all the time. I highly recommend Maria Empanada!! Five Stars hands down.
