Lito's Empanadas

I would give Lito's Empanadas a 4.5 if I could. Their empanadas are pretty tasty. They don't have too much dough and they are numbered so you can tell which one is which. I've tried a few different flavors and have been pretty happy with all of them.

They have an online ordering system which makes things easier too. Because they're freshly fried, the empanadas can take a while to make (for fast food, ~8 minutes or so). But you can order early and come in a pick them up, which works well! We actually ordered online to eat in the store, and they were very accommodating and nice about it.

They also have everything priced very reasonably. I'm full after eating two empanadas (I'm female and relatively small) and that comes out to about $6. All in all, a good value and a nice change of pace from the nearby Italian restaurants.

was craving for empanadas and came across Lito's that's 15 min away from where i stay..

i ordered the BBQ chicken, beef and rice, champinon chicken, and chori-cheese..

the BBQ chicken has BBQ chicken and potatoes.. i like this one the least.. the BBQ just didn't flow well for my liking

the beef and rice has ground beef, rice, tomato and onion.. this one wasn't bad.. its a good combination of ingredients in there..

the champinon chicken has chicken and cheese with sauteed mushrooms,tomato, and onions... probably my favorite out of the 4 empanadas i ordered.. it was flavorfull..

the chori-cheese has chorizo with potato, cheese, tomato and onion... it was OK.. i didn't taste much chorizo in there.. taste mostly the cheese and potato only...

We don't leave Chicago with out bags of their tasty puffed pillows of goodness....yum. We love the beef and potato and the Nutella and banana empanadas. Try it, you'll like it! There's a Lito's on north Clark too.
