I really love their empanadas. I am of Chilean descent and really enjoy the food. Whenever I am in LA I have to stop by and get at least a few empanadas and some of their yummy pastries. Definitely a must try!

Rincon Chileno Deli has the BEST empanadas. I won't mention other local places famous for their empanadas (and they're certainly good), but they're nowhere near as good as these, and I. Know. Good. Flavours. The different kinds have different pastries. They make the beef ones with hard boiled egg, black olives and raisins, as is best. :D The cheese, and ham and cheese, have a phyllo/croissant-type pastry. My vegetarian husband loves the spinach ones the most. Prices are absolutely fair. We used to pick up empanadas here more often and would do so every week if I wasn't concerned about my pastry intake. Absolutely some of my favourite food in the South Bay, and it's so simple, inexpensive comforting.

Such a nice gem. Food is good - I'm not from Chile, so I can't say it's "authentic" but if it tastes good what does it matter? Small town service in a good way, I had a big catering order and they got it done without drama or hassle. Recommended!

Great food . Empanadas are the best in town .pan amasado great , churrasco best in town n friendly service.

Great for some cheap but tasty eats! We come here for the freshly made alfajores but they empanadas are also great. Next time, I'll try one of their sandwiches also.

I've been going here several years now and this place is a weekend comfort food spot. I love the empanadas but my go to dish is the chicken milanesa plate. My spouse is half Chilean so he encourages me to try everything on the menu, including the desserts. I tried papa rellena and honestly I think that dish in general is just ok. Not my cup of tea but at least I know. The two ladies who work there are nice. The only downside is that parking in the shopping area is a little tight. When that happens, I resort to neighborhood parking, but even then there's a lot of parked cars in the neighborhood. Thanks so much for comfort food. Lawndale in general has really good comfort food.

Quick stop for Chilean style empanadas on the way to the beach. I lived in Chile during the 80's and this the real deal. So many empanada wannabes lately. The ' pino' which is filled with sautéed ground beef, onion a raisin some hard boiled egg and mostly spiced with cumin is tasty. These are good for later and even rewarded. The fried cheese empanada are great but are meant to consumed promptly. Once a fried cheese empanada has cooled the magic is gone. Heating up and frying my order took about 10 minutes. Star off? They forgot to put in the bread I also bought.
