    Some of the best food we've had along our travels from st. Louis to Florida. The empanadas were so good! We also got fried yucca, tostones, arepas, and fried plantains. All were delicious! A must if you enjoy authentic Latin American food! The owners and staff for so sweet and helpful. Loved the Columbian style sweet arepas!

    Amazing service, sweetest proprietors ever, and delicious empanadas. I wish I could give it a 5, but the fried yuca was too hard to eat, and the cuban sandwich was a bit smaller than expected.

    Gorgeous crispy, flakey crust wrapped around a variety of savory fillings!! I couldn’t decide so I went with a Beef and Cheese, Chicken and Cheese, rounded off with the Columbian.

    The owner greeted and helped us choose a meal, being very informative about the food throughout. The empanadas tasted amazing, the entrees were just as good, and the whole place was very clean. Service was also quick at the time we passed through (3:30pm). HIGHLY recommend!

    This is my go to place for Colombian empanadas. I usually buy a dozen at a time call in to place an order and it is ready in 15-20 minutes. Their housemade spicy hot sauce is on point. You have to go to Miami FL to get empanadas as good as their's. Staff is always friendly and the waiting area is clean. Buen Provecho!

    My family and I dropped by on the way back from Florida. We just wanted a quick bite but perhaps something better than fast food. This place was exceptional. Great food at a great price. Staff was incredibly friendly and kind, explained menus carefully and made some great recommendations. Five stars are not enough!!

    We love this place! It's family owned, the food is great, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is all super friendly. It's a little out of the way, but worth the trip!

    Omg. This is a hidden jewel. They have been open ten years and I just visited this amazing place. The food, service and the feel was off the chart. I would send pictures but I ate it so quick there was no time. All I can say is find stop and enjoy.

    Empanadas and More Evaluation The staff consistently exhibit friendliness and courtesy. The cuisine consistently delights, although it's worth noting that my go-to choice is always the Chicken and Cheese Empanadas. These delectable treats are so satisfying that I make it a weekly ritual to order them every Monday, making them a staple for my weekday lunches. If there's one critique about the food, it would be that there could be a bit more chicken and cheese to ensure the Empanadas are fully filled, without any empty spaces. Despite this minor point, I am committed to supporting this small business for as long as I can.

    5 Star+++ You need to come here! Empenadas were delicious. Dough used was perfect, light, not too dry. Fillings were on point. Salsa was balanced and spicy in a good way. Sweet plantains were sweet and done perfectly (not gooey). Owner was welcoming, had great recommendations, and took care of us like we were his favorite primos.

    Awesome, immaculate, delicious. The owner personally greets you and explains the options. Food is very fresh. Don’t pass this place up.

    LOVE Empanadas and More! I go here often and they are so kind and always make me feel welcome. They have memorized my name and my order! The owner is a great guy and the food is amazing! I love it!

  • 5/5 Jodie C. 11 months ago on Google
    I love this place. The people are so friendly and nice no matter how busy they are. Food is always fresh with lots of flavor and at a reasonable price which is hard to find these days. I have had chicken and cheese empanadas, vegetable soup and the cuban through out my many visits and they are all exceptional. Lots of flavor. I hope they never close.

    We were diving home from Florida, and needed to stop, eat and stretch our legs. Empanadas and More had great reviews on Google so we decided to try it. We arrived right before closing. The cashier/server was so friendly and helpful. She was able to give us good descriptions of the menu items- and oh my gosh were they good! This restaurant doesn't currently have in-store seating, but they brought the food to our car. AND! The owner came out to offer their bathroom of we needed it (they were closed at this point, but he heard we were driving a long way). He was so very friendly and nice- he really made our day! And the FOOD. It was amazing! Just so delicious. 10/10 give this place a try! Affordable, friendly AND. SO good!

    Wow! We are just traveling through and decided to stop based on all of the good reviews, and I’m so glad we did. It’s family owned and the owner greeted us and helped me and the kids pick what to order. I’ve never before been treated like family at a take out place! The food is all homemade, and it is DELICIOUS! We had some of everything on the menu and it was all amazing. They had a Honduras taco as a special and it was incredible. We all tried different empanadas and we loved them. I can already tell this place will go down in family legend as one of the best restaurants we ever ate at.

    One of my favorite take out spots in Valdosta. Never disappointed with their food or service. Super sweet staff. The Colombian Empanadas are great if you’re looking for an empanada without cheese!

    I have been eating here for almost 10 years, extremely consistent, Alberto is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. You can taste the love and passion that they prepare their food with. Rare to meet a person that loves what they do and who they serve.

    Wednesday is my FAVORITE Beef & Potatoes & Add a side of rice

  • 5/5 Maria L. 11 months ago on Google
    The service was beyond amazing! The food is good and the prices aren't bad. I got the Colombian style empanada.

  • 5/5 Cliff B. 11 months ago on Google
    DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE, The food is great but the people are better. Umberto, his wife, the great cook, and their daughter, Cami)a, makes the experience even sweeter. We drive 75 regularly, but we will change our day of travel just to eat here.

    Empanadas and more catered a meal for my baseball organization of 60+ people. They did a fantastic job and went out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly and was JUST how we wanted it! The players loved the food and appreciated the authentic cuisine. I would highly recommend trying them!

  • 5/5 Naysha H. 1 year ago on Google
    We are not from the area which is a shame bc we loved it. The food was delicious and great pricing. The friendliness and kindness from the staff was a breath of fresh air, they really welcome you and make you feel at home. Also, cleanliness was top notch, health score is 100. Support this small business bc they deserve success, you won't regret it. My fave was the Colombian empanda.

  • 5/5 fignewtnewt 1 year ago on Google
    The food was really good, so definitely be back. I tried the beef and cheese empanadas,chicken and cheese, Spanish rice and the yucca fries. Forgot to take pictures because I was excited to try it but I will say I want disappointed, the staff was friendly and in guessing that the older gentleman that came from the back was the owner, he walked out, made eye contact with everyone that was waiting and spoke.... that told me a lot about the service there. So go ahead and try it.

    Delicious!! Man I'm so glad I found this place. It was really good, really hidden and kinda homey I guess. I loved it. Hardly any seating but the food is worth. ALSO SUPER CHEAP

  • 5/5 Andrea M. 1 year ago on Google
    Our family stopped in while traveling to Florida after reading the great reviews. This place is absolutely exceptional! The owner greeted us so warmly, welcomed us to dine in even though they are mainly carryout, and went out of his way to describe the menu. Everything was delicious. Thank you for the hospitality!

    We go there every time we come into town. Great food and wonderful people. I will never forget the compassion they showed my husband when we were students at VSU. Will be forever loyal to this family and restaurant.

    All of their food is very yummy. Their fried plantains are perfect! I took my aunt and mother here for the first time today and got one of everything and they loved it too!
