Cassava Empanadas - Chicago, Illinois

Update: I'm very disappointed. Unfortunately two of the six things I ordered were actually incorrect. So you had me wait 20 minutes outside for an order to only get partial of a correct order. It will definitely be a while before I come back.

There is no store front. You must order online only. I rang the door bell and was told to place an order online and then wait 20mins for my order.
Their food is amazing!!! But I have only ever ordered from them online. Please update Google to state this! Your website does say this but no one will check there first.
Food is 5 stars but definitely confusing for the customer. As I was waiting for my pickup order, a couple was also confused with your door signage. They have been wanting to order and try your food and didn't know how to order. Maybe putting a sign on the door explaining that you would love to service them but they need to place their order online. Just posting a QR code and expecting people to understand isn't helpful to your guest.
Also Google says open till 4pm and the door says open till 3pm? Maybe update that as well.

I wish you all the best and just know that you make amazing food and I would love to help get the word out there more about your restaurant and your brand!! Also, thank you for making delicious gluten-free food ❤️❤️❤️

I was so so excited to find a gluten free empanada! The pastry was perfect, but the filling could be better. There was a flavor within each one that I just didn’t like. For example, mushrooms overpowered the spinach dish (spinach and cheese might be a better combo) and there was a chicken empanada that was like 50% sweet potato. The steak was probably the best of the 3 because I could actually taste the protein. I will probably be back tbh because there aren’t a ton of gluten free restaurants near me, but it’s not my top 10.

We recently placed our second empanada order! We ordered a large variety of flavors and every single one was extremely flavorful and delicious! First experience was not as great as our second. First time we did not cook them properly and the texture was wrong! Flavor was incredible but they were too chewy. Make sure to follow all instructions for cooking and they make a great meal!

THIS. IS. SO. GOOD. Holy cow, wow. Ordered some empanadas and pizzas for myself (severe gluten allergy) and friends, and my friends couldn't even tell these were gluten free. Absolutely delicious and outstanding. We ordered for pick-up and got to meet Marcos as well, who was so kind and helpful. I would 1,000% recommend all the food here!!

The absolute best! The bacon, egg, & cheese empanadas are perfect for breakfast! The Chipotle pizza is perfect for dinner! Highly highly recommended!

Excellent gluten-free pizza and empanadas! Worth every penny and very good rates for shipping.

Honesty the empanadas are THAT GOOD. There was some confusion when I made my pick up order (honestly I think the confusion was on my end not there’s) and they didn’t have it when I got there. I called the next day and they were willing to delivery it. I wasn’t even mad because I know how good their food and desserts are and it was honestly worth the wait. If something similar happens to you, please be patient and understanding with them!!! They’re clearly very busy (rightfully so) and they will make it right! Keep it up! Will always be coming back!

My sister has celiac, and this was a perfect place to order in bulk for her weekend trip to Chicago. We snacked on these empanadas daily. They've got a wide variety of yummy flavors! I enjoyed them all, especially the chicken 😊
