At least I can say I tried it.I was getting my hair cut and Im hearing talk about getting Empanadas for lunch. I havent had one in a long while so I thought I would give the bakery they were talking about a shot. There were alot of choices for the filling some were unexpected so I thought I would buy a dozen and sample each at least once.I have to say your experience will depend on the filling the dough is paired with. The dough taste rather flat so it pairs well with the spicy fillings...the spicy beef is awesome. Unfortunately the dough didnt pair well with some of the other fillings. If they had different dough mixes specific to the type of filling ...this place could be awesome. Stick with the savory beef, chicken, spicy chicken, spicy beef and spinach...the rest are pretty pedestrian because of the dough.I would skip the pepperoni entirely....the cheese taste like cheese whiz and didnt agree with the dough or my taste.
Went for the empanadas and was disappointed. They offer 9 different ones on the menu, but at only 2 pm on a Friday they were out of the first 3 kinds that I tried to order. We settled on trying 3 that they did have and they weren’t great. The dough was raw on the bottom of all 5 that we ordered. It also tasted like they were previously frozen. A man came in while we were waiting and he tried to order other items on the menu and they were out of what he wanted, too. The menu is very limited, so this is really surprising. The people were nice, though, and they offer a decent variety of beverages in the cooler and a selection of pantry staples.
My local spot for empanadas! Theyre quick, dont make a fuss, and delicious! Im a huge fan of the products they carry from various Latin regions too. I am always sure to pick up a drink from their cooler, pantry item or some empanada dough to make my own a lot easier! Highly recommend this little gem.
Excellent empanadas and fresh cookies. The spicy beef and chicken empanadas have a nice kick to them. You can call ahead and order them hot, or pick them up frozen to cook at home. We get a dozen every time we go. They are always a huge hit at potluck dinner parties. Friendly service. Parking right in front. They also have bottled drinks and a small selection of grocery items.
There is a better place for empanadas. Manhattan Beach Blvd. and Inglewood.The empanadas at Continental are frozen and very very spicy. No like
Great food : pasta. Sandwiches, salads and of course empanadas. Prices are ok but hardly any parking. They also have a market inside.
The chicken empanadas were sub-par. Maybe the beef ones are better.
First time here. Employee was helpful. My husband and I split 4 differnt empanadas for lunch. They were all delicious. My favorite was the spicy chicken. Short wait after ordering. Next time we will call ahead and just pick up. Definitely will go again.
Almost always have to circle street for parking. Do not Park in rear. However, Sooo worth it!! Great essentials from Argentina.
Small but food is great, meet with a great smile and a welcome. Love it.
If you only try the empanadas with a jar of the chimichurri... and the cheese ravioli with cream of tomato sauce ... everything else is just bonus... those 2 items hit the spot!! Delicious!! 😊👌
Amazing service top of the line food and drinks! This place is a hidden jem!
The best empanadas ever. And their cookies and spinach pies are awesome!
Best empanadas in the South Bay. Their Spicy Beef empanadas are delicious with enough burn for you to feel it, but not so much that it slows you down in scarfing them down.
Excellent customer service, detail-oriented cashier, professional service and delicious food... would definitely recommend to others
Amazing empanadas! Call and order ahead to get them hot at pickup
I called in some empanadas and they close at 7pm but i arrived at 6:56 and they closed on me.Aint that blah blah blah
Love the empanadas.. chicken, veggie are my favorite. Great choice for a potluck meal
Good service and very nice
Great empanadas, hoping to try a choripan next time
The BEST Empanadas in town!
Best empanadas 💖
The food was perfect Especially the empanadas..thank you..
The empanadas here are really good. So are the cookies. Good service too.
Prices have risen for a dozen empanadas, however, one of the best in flavor. Like their spicy beef empanadas. Continue to order them during the holidays or for festive occasions.
Empanadas are a bit small. The beef ones were a bit saltier than what I am used to.
Great service and everything Ive ordered and had had been delicious
Best empanadas in the South Bay! Perfect for parties of any kind. Ive bought thousands of these, and they never disappoint.
If you havent visited this place you are missing out on some great things. Perhaps a visit someday will explain the reason why I love this place.
Delicious empanadas! Spicy beef its spicy, but good! Highly recommended!
Our favorite place for empanadas!
I am EXTREMELY displeased with the customer service and quality received. I normally purchase 1-2 dozens for parties and other holiday events such as today. I placed phone order prior to arriving. I was shocked that my order was displayed and showing to other customers to make their decision. I was SHOCKED!!!! I asked that order be re-done. Of course Jenny was not happy and it SHOWED!!. To make long story short.. Instead of my order being redone it was REHEATED, empanadas was DRIED out.. I asked for the manager. She was the MANAGER..
Best empanadas!
One of my favorite chopped salads. Used to come for the empanadas and then they introduced to me their amazing Alfajores. The customer service is always great and the staff is always pleasant.
Great empandas. But pricey
I had such a great lunch, the food was delicious as always. The service is great, the little cafe style restaurant was great. We plan on coming ba.
Las empanadas son increíbles. Take them just cooked to eat right away or frozen to make them on the oven. Excellent anyway.
Great food and service. The ONLY place I go for empanadas.
The best Argentinian empanadas and sandwiches, it gives great food at affordable prices, try it, they have 3 locations, original in Hawthorne, Lomita and Gardena!!!
This place is horrible, do not go. Do not order the lomito either. Keep it as a local secret 🤫🤫🤭🤭
Best Argentinian empanadas.. Call ahead and order, spicey chicken is the best
Friendly, tasty, great spot for a great treat.
Thank you Continental for your services in our local, your presentation of service for us customers is well pleased and thankful deeply. You guys are the best ever!!!!
The Alfredo sandwich is to die for. Lots of meat. Great flavor with grilled onions and bell peppers. Also the bread is perfect for this sandwich. The spicy beef empanada is delicious and i feel the prices for empanadas is reasonable. I have other empanada places that charge twice as much but give you more dough than filling so i feel their price is fair. Keep up the great work. I will see you guys again soon.
Gooooooood foooood
Great food. All to go. No seating
Excellent empanadas, pastries, breads, food and service; cramped store space, looking for planned store space expansion, that will improve rating.
Great baked goods, empanadas are heavenly!
Couldve gotten a five star but the employees there are not friendly at all
Best Argentine Empanadas!
Tasty empanadas.
The best empanadas in LA. Ive had empanadas place in Venice and I think this beats it
Great Argentine goodies!
Best place for empanadas. I had a party to attend and needed to bring some finger foods...Instead of the bland veggie plate or common chips and salsa I stopped and got 2 dozen empanadas. Made fresh and a huge hit at oarty, only thing that everybody ate and they were gone!
Empanadas are freaking awesome. I love the spinach and cheese.
Their empanadas are always a win!
Way over priced for such little substance in the empanadas. Dont mind paying $1.60 if it had more chicken, will not be going back, over rated.
Great service, delicious food
Best empanadas!!!
I agree with previous post, very little substance in the empanada especially considering the price,I hate when this happens its the first time I tried them they were good, but it will be my last cause the price to substance ratio, I dont mind paying extra for good tasty product but I dont like greedy companies
