Real empanadas. Real smiles. Real East Valley vibes.
Don't take our word for it — here's what the East Valley has to say.
"Soooooo unbelievably good! I had a loaded beef empanada and couldn't believe how incredible it was! Very savory and full of flavors! And the apple empanadas were just the right amount of everything!"
"Hands down — best empanada around. I've been to the brick and mortar empanada place that everyone seems to talk about, and I can say without hesitation that Holy Empanadas is FAR better. Try the J-Pop — you won't be disappointed!!!!"
"The empanada was so filling — packed to the max with potatoes, zucchini & cheese. I got it with the works: onions, cilantro & avocado on top. Soooo good. The rice & beans were very impressive. The best food truck I've been to since moving to AZ almost 3 years ago."
"WOW. 10/10. Beef empanada (10/10): Incredibly flavorful, great texture. Jalapeño (10/10): cheesy creamy potato jalapeño goodness. Strawberry (10/10): perfect balance of creaminess and fruitiness. The owners were very kind and cool. This is now my go-to empanada spot!"
"We stumbled across Anthony and Val of Holy Empanadas. We got their chorizo breakfast special and their beef empanadas. We were hooked! Now every Friday morning we go to Pura Vida Coffee for coffee and empanadas. Every single one is fantastic."
"The food is absolutely delicious!! Had the beef, PRC, pizza and apple empanadas and my only regret is that I did not get more. My 18-yr-olds devoured them as well. Very personable and friendly owner. Great to meet you Anthony!"
"Amazing quality! They really stuff their empanadas. They don't cheap out on meat. The variety is crazy! From all the savory types to sweet. The rice and beans adds a nice touch. The staff is so nice and caring. Truly great all around!"
"I was blown away by their vegetarian empanada. Such flaky and tasty crust, and the filling was so cheesy and perfect! The rice and beans on the side were delicious too, and the service was great!"
"Delicious! Large empanada with a generous amount of fillings/meats, fresh ingredients and nicely seasoned."
"I got the PZC — seasoned potatoes, zucchini, and cheddar cheese. Absolutely yummy! My BF got beef and he was quite pleased (I know he wished he'd gotten more). Customer service is amazing!"
"Had these tonight — they are AMAZING!!! Such great owners too! Thank you for amazing food!"
"The empanadas are fantastic with great flavor — a very full empanada with just the right sauce for each flavor. Package for each empanada well marked with the right sauce next to it in a nice carry box. Friendly service. Nothing but good to say."
