La Empanaderia in Erlangen

Great food in a nice atmosphere.

Excellent empanadas! (I say this as an Argentinian!!)

A beautifully decorated restaurant with delicious food 🫶🏼 we would love to come back!

A cozy restaurant with a great decor. There's a lot to discover when you look around. The service could be improved. The lady who served us was nice. However, she was a bit too relaxed; it felt like we were talking past each other. The girls at the front bar were fun and on the ball. The food was good. We liked the sopaipilla appetizer the best of all the dishes we ordered. The burger was good and plentiful, but I felt it lacked a bit of freshness and flavor. We also ordered dips to go. Our cocktails were delicious, and we ended up taking some to go. Conclusion: We'd love to come back again, but we'll sit right at the bar with the great bartender and enjoy cocktails and a few sopaipillas.

A very lovingly decorated restaurant with a very harmonious atmosphere. The food is good, but not outstanding. The selection is quite limited. The service could be more attentive; you'll sometimes be happy to linger over an empty glass.

Simply damn good. You have to try it.

Soulful spanish food. Loved the taste

Amazing food for reasonable prices! 120% recommended. Steak Sandwich is the Must have dishes!

Simply WOW!!! Extremely friendly and attentive staff, in a very beautiful setting with excellent food, invites you to a short vacation in South America. We were thrilled with everything and can highly recommend the restaurant "La Empanaderia." The appetizers and main courses were very tasty and plentiful. We will definitely return and make the trip from Bamberg to Erlangen. Why? Because it's simply worth it!!! Keep up the good work!

Very tasty food, unfortunately we couldn't sit in the garden as it was too cold, we would love to come back.

Great place! The best Pisco Sour ever! The food was delicious! The steaks with chimichurri and the burgers are a must!

The most enjoyable experience in Nurenberg was in this restaurant, nice staff, and very delicious food riched with flavours.

The best place to eat in Erlangen !!!!!!! Without a doubt, the finest restaurant to enjoy a great meal in town. A varied gastronomic offer, with well-prepared and flavorful dishes. The place is cozy, with vibrant and tasteful decor. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff are attentive and courteous. Excellent value for money. A place you simply shouldn’t miss.

Loved the place, the food and the team! Had empanadas, the mbeyú and the Lomito El Roque! Delicious! Gilda and Vera are great hosts who came to our table to make sure everything was to our taste and liking! Can’t wait to come back!

A bit lacking in light but also cozy.

Very nice restaurant and very good food

Wow das Steak war ein Traum! Der Service super freundlich und zum krönenden Abschluss den besten Käsekuchen meines Lebens gegessen! Ein absolutes Muss ☺️

Absolutely recommended + very friendly and attentive staff + Quality of drinks and food was very good + manageable menu, good selection + good price-performance ratio + nice ambience + good location (-) Unfortunately there was no espresso due to problems with the coffee machine (-) Tipping is not possible when paying by card Overall, I was very satisfied, would like to come back and can recommend La Empanaderia. In my opinion, a realistic rating would be around 4.5 out of 5 possible stars.

We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was at this restaurant. Almost every dish we ordered was scrumptious. We highly recommend the ceviche, grilled sweet potatoes and cauliflower, and chimichurri. Come to think of it, the steak for two was also excellent. If there is one area which I feel the restaurant can improve on, it's the side dishes. The only choices are fries, mashed potatoes, and tomato and onion salad. The tomato and onion salad was less flavorful than the other standout dishes, and the side dish options felt a bit limited for those not in the mood for potatoes. Overall, we highly recommend this restaurant!

Very delicious food, especially the patacones and the pisco sour! We will return!

Very tasty and authentic cuisine. Relaxed atmosphere to feel good. The drinks are great too!

Fantastic place, super service, and great atmosphere. The food was delicious; I can recommend the place with its overall fair prices. The steak was cooked wonderfully, and the Milanesa was great. We will come again.

It was just great all around. Rarely have we eaten so well. We will definitely and happily come back.

Super tasty, great service! Great recommendation!

We were very satisfied, just great. We will come back, the food is just great and the 🍸 is very tasty 😋

Small, cozy South American restaurant/bar. Very tasty food. Nice staff. Price/performance absolutely fine.

Quality food and very nice place to be. Meat is really excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Very good food at big portions and good prices. Friendly and fast service. Recommended in the area👍🏻👍🏻

I'm really excited. We saw it as an advertisement on Tiktok and since it looked really good, we tried it. I was really impressed by the fast, good and above all friendly service as well as the really good food.

Great food and very friendly staff - will be back

Very friendly space, with excellent meat and other Latin American delicacies

The empanadas are delicious. However, they are also very expensive for the portion size, hence the deductions in the rating of the food. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Since it is very busy, especially in the evening, the volume level is correspondingly high.

Very tasty food. And also very nice and accommodating staff! I can only recommend it

The two of us ate here and I don't think I've eaten so well in a long time. Quality is important here. The service is great and the atmosphere is really nice. One of my new favorite restaurants!

Everything fine! Great drinks, great food, empanadas unbeatable! Very happy again!

I've never had such a perfect burger in my life - every bite felt like a soft cloud of cheese, sweet brioche dough, smoky beef and an intense but satisfying truffle sauce. The empanada with jalapenos and cheese is a greasy sin that you'll want to commit again and again. The ceviche with delicately cooked perch, just a little more coriander is missing from perfection. The service was quick, warm and unobtrusive. The map seems a bit random at first glance, but what lies behind it is fantastic.

Nice restaurant, good food. The only thing that really bothered me was that you were only allowed to stay for 2 hours. You spend a lot of money and want to sit still for a while when the mood is good.

The best burger that I have had in 3 years living in the area. Great wines, very nice atmosphere and surroundings.

One of the most beautiful locations currently in Erlangen. The food is exceptional and delicious. The team always looks after the guest and is friendly.

Yesterday I was with my family. They had good wine and the food was very delicious. We all left very happy

Excellent, authentic food, very friendly staff, quick preparation. The cheesecake for dessert was also worth mentioning - an absolute highlight and the cocktails are also highly recommended.

Very cozy atmosphere with attentive and friendly service and the food is extremely tasty and really South American!

Food tastes excellent. Service friendly and accommodating. We had mixed starters and steak as a main course. I can only recommend everything

Beautiful ambience, perfect service and the food (especially the steak) was top in terms of taste and quality. 10/10 points.

Good empenadas Meal without more Quite expensive price considering the dishes served

I was there for the last time a few years ago and had good memories. The price was too high for a breaded steak with fries and a small dollop of sauce. Ambiance is great, staff is nice.

Were at a party, there was a buffet Everything was delicious

The Victorian ceviche was perfect balanced

Had a lovely dinner with my teammates. The food was super good and the service was excellent. Loved the cheese empanadas .

Very interesting, good South American dishes

Eat mega. Very nice restaurant Service super nice Always happy

Very tasty food. Staff very nice and friendly. It would have been great to know earlier that our table would be taken again later.

The service is excellent, the pisco sauer is exquisite, everything is great but the food is expensive, I felt that the quantity is not proportional to the price.

Very nice service. The food is fresh and tastes very good 👍

Very tasty and varied food. Appropriate location that is very lovingly designed. With attention to detail. Highly recommended!

The empanadas and lomito were amazing. Also a very good wine list, we will definitely come back.

The food, service and atmosphere were great. Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for the food.

Brilliant food and top service! The perfect restaurant if you're looking for something worth eating at.

Feel-good atmosphere and the food is top quality. Simply top👍

We ordered and picked up the “bikini trufado” this evening and were really shocked. Beforehand, we called the restaurant and asked whether the dish was a larger sandwich or roll or what you could imagine. Not once was it mentioned that it was just toast. We even asked whether it would fill us up if we ordered the larger portion, as we were expecting a SANDWICH and not pieces of toast (see picture). We have now ordered the “large” portion twice and paid a total of 28 euros (without TG!) for it because we were expecting a normal, filling sandwich. When we got home, we were completely horrified: for 28 euros we only received four small, greasy triangles of toast per portion. This in no way corresponds to what we asked on the phone and absolutely does not correspond to the price-performance ratio. This dish may taste good as a snack, but for the exorbitant price and tiny portion, we feel completely ripped off. Very disappointing and absolutely not recommended!

-delicious -friendly staff -Ambience modern Tip. Reservations are the safest way to get a seat and good food

Simply brilliant! Very friendly service and delicious food.

The interior design also conveys a South American flair. The food selection offers something for everyone.

We went there because we wanted to eat cassava. We tried this once in South America and it was very tasty. Unfortunately it couldn't be found on the memory card. Otherwise the food selection is also very thin. What is available is more bistro food and also very expensive. For example, they want a whole 7 EUR for a large bottle of water! The range of South American drinks is also very limited to non-existent. They don't even have guarana. In any case, we will never go there again. By the way, after we left we passed a bakery and had something to eat.

Expensive for the amount of food but really tasty

Worst restaurant that I went to in a while and I wonder why! I should have just gone to Casa Argentina in Nuremberg!! Firstly, the service is soooooooooooo bad, that the guy who was serving us was not even interested to offer anything to us. It took them 30 minutes to come to our table to ask us for drinks. The Empanadas were quite dry and tasteless, I wonder how it’s their specialty. I asked the waiter to get my the Chimichuri salsa. He said we only give it with steak?! The food is below average. We ended up paying 328€ for 9 people (including 3 children), and it was definitely not worth it at all. So if you want to eat South American food, you'd rather skip this one. I will never ever go to this place again. @the Owner - Firstly, thanks for giving me a call and trying to understand what was wrong with the service of the restaurant. Please be receptive to feedback when it is given, and accept that the waiter that was servicing us that day was particularly rude. It could be that next time (if we ever plan to be there) the service might be good, but that evening our experience was ruined by the rudeness of your waiter. On the food and steak - everyone has the right to their opinion. We didn’t like the food and that’s our opinion that’s all. On the cake, we asked your staff if we can bring it, so don’t make it sound like you did a favor. We know the rules of restaurant and wouldn’t take the liberty to bring something if not allowed. Not sure who had 5 glasses of wine, atleast we didn’t. We all had to drive 😎 Take the feedback with a pinch of salt. I appreciate the time you have spent on this, but it’s also not true that no one has criticized with restaurant in past 5 years. Have a nice day! Dear Owner - We did not like your restaurant, service or food. Accept it as is, rather than writing sarcastic comments. Maybe that’s the time you should spend in improving your customer service and food. Good luck to you !

Good Food,nice place and good service, but I find it too expensive. We paid 20€ for shrimp salad, 6,50€ for water with lemon and 15€ for 3 x small empanadas

A nice and cosy south american restaurant in erlangen. Empanadas are a must!!! Rump steak was also amazing. My friends were also very happy with a dish called Milanese (not sure about the spelling). I was too busy eating I did not take photos.

The service was super friendly and accommodating and the food was very tasty across the board, but the ceviche and cheesecake (muy cremoso is not an exaggeration) are the absolute insider tip

Very nice restaurant. The food is delicious and the service is very nice. It's a shame it's a bit far from home otherwise we would eat there often.

The food could be a bit more creative (very small selection of dishes) and not all empanadas fillings are successful (especially the vegetarian ones are really bland) but the ambience, the service and the cocktails (especially the Pisco Sauer variations) always make a visit value.

MMM ! There are no words, simply delicious. The staff are lovely and friendly and the food Wonderful. Thanks to Alex for allowing me to arrive without a reservation. Michael.

Extremely delicious food, a real asset to Erlangen! I can only recommend everyone to come by and try the freshly homemade food. 😍🤤😋 Simply amazing 🤩

South American food in a beautiful ambience that takes you on vacation! Service staff very friendly and predominantly of original origin! Food diverse, varied and well prepared! Some of the dishes could be seasoned and seasoned a little more authentically... Highly recommend the chimichurri and the pisco sour!

Very nice, tasty, but also high prices

Beautiful decor, nice staff, good drinks, ok food. Tried the empanadas: - Jamon & Queso — very good - Carne — good - Queso y Jalapeños — good - Humita — ok Vori Vori soup — hearty and comforting, but lacked flavour Lomito El Roque — big portion, but the beef is a bit chewy and the flavour was ok Milanesa— huge portion, tasty potatoes, but again the beef was just ok Pisco Sour drink — excellent! I’d come back for the Pisco and the empanadas.

Very nice restaurant with friendly service (even if you sometimes have to make yourself noticed 😉). We ordered 5 people, including 4 rum steaks, in 3 different cooking levels. I wouldn't have thought that in the end everyone would get their steak at the desired level of doneness. But… mastered perfectly! The meat was always prepared to perfection, all the dishes came to the table at the same time and it tasted excellent. Hats off, we were very satisfied 👍 Clear recommendation! Again any time.

Great place, very friendly environment, great people. I strongly recommend it! I tried the empanadas and a dessert. Both delicious.

The dishes were beautifully prepared and delicious. What was special was that the empanadas had the restaurant name on them. The ambience was rustic and beautiful. The only possible downside was that the empanadas weren't spicy enough, but that could also be a matter of personal taste. However, the prices are a bit spicy.

Very nice atmosphere, attentive service and exceptional dishes - we ate and drank very well and would be happy to come back.

Had a meal here again, the food was very good, but the price-performance ratio wasn't right, 18 euros for a sandwich??And 15.50 for a measly salad...if the service hadn't been so accommodating I would have been very upset! We will try again. The owner apparently knows that the price-performance ratio isn't right, but he hasn't improved it...it's a shame...alternatively, we can go to the Amazon in Nuremberg, better selection and good price-performance ratio.

I was looking forward to the visit for a long time but was unfortunately very disappointed. Empanadas were dry, the quinoa bowl was tiny and not well presented, and the prices are also way too expensive. (Value for money for the main courses) Unfortunately the service wasn't good either. Our table wasn't even completely cleared and after a 3 hour stay we weren't asked again for drinks or dessert. A pity.

The three of us decided to have dinner at 8:30 p.m. The food, the drinks including cocktails, the service and the ambience were great! The Pisco Sour with Mango is highly recommended. A beautiful restaurant with Argentine flair.

Empanaderia is always a good idea! ❤️ I love the ambience, the food and drinks. Everything is well made and even though is a bit more pricey, it’s worth the money. Always recommend to people I know. :)

Authentic cuisine - very tasty! I'm already looking forward to my next visit 😊

Very tasty South American food! Authentic and very friendly service - gladly again.

Great restaurant, great food, nice service. 5 Stars!

Nice restaurant - very tasty empanadas - nice service = great restaurant.

Again and again! A small piece of South America in the heart of Erlangen. Tip: Vegan empanada and Pisco Sour with passion fruit as a drink. Thank you for the great evening. ☺️

Waren zum ersten Mal hier essen und das Lokal hat uns zu 100% überzeugt. Angefangen mit der hausgemachten Limonade und dem Pisco Sour von dem - völlig zurecht - alle in den Rezensionen geschwärmt haben, über Suppe und Empanadas, dem Lomito und der für uns größten Überraschung, dem Ceviche, bis hin zu Dessert und weiteren Pisco-Varianten war die Verköstigung sicher eine der besten, an die ich mich erinnern kann. Der Service war top und obwohl wir recht spät da waren, wurde uns nie das Gefühl vermittelt, dass uns das Personal jetzt gerne loswerden würde. Die Atmosphäre war sehr angenehm, heimelig und gemütlich, die Musik genau laut genug um sich nicht an Gesprächen am Nachbarstisch zu stören und dennoch gut unterhalten zu können. Eine klare Empfehlung für jeden, der etwas Besonderes sucht.

Ein Geheimtipp im Herzen Erlangens! Die Karte ist klein aber fein mit etwas für jeden, das Restaurant überzeugt außerdem mit seinem gemütlichen und südamerikanischen Ambiente sowie seinen gelassenen, freundlichen Servicekräften.

The food was amazing, the price was decent for the 5 stars service. Great restaurant!

Local muy bien presentado, refleja en sus cuadros gente latinoamericana. Los platos que ofrecen son una buena selección de toda latinoamerica. El personal es muy servicial y por supuesto hablan español. Tu amigo de 4 patas es bienvenido.

Super leckeres steak, schönes Ambiente

Tolles Restaurant mit exzellenter Küche :-) !!!

Pasamos a cenar el Sábado a la noche y la verdad no podríamos haber elegido mejor! La comida super rica y el Pisco Sour mejor aún. 🤩

Super angenehme Atmosphäre. Das essen war sehr lecker,allerdings kam alles etwas zeitversetzt weshalb unsere steaks auf der heißen platte dann medium waren bis die kartoffeln und süßen kamen. War aber überhaupt nicht schlimm es war trotzdem super lecker. Auch die Cocktails waren mega gut und einfach mal etwas anderes. Ich hatte einen mojito.

Kommen immer wieder gerne. Die Empanada sind es wirklich wert. Ist alles etwas teuer, aber man gönnt sich so etwas auch nicht jede Woche.

The food was amazing and the waiter made this experience even better. Love this empanadas. Definitely i will come back

Super! Kam spät, saß Sandra der Theke alleine…alle herzlich gutes Essen, leckere Getränke! Nach Probiergetränk habe ich dasselbige natürlich bestellt und zeitgenau zubereitet erhalten! Immer wieder gerne!
