Who knew you could get authentic Argentinian Empanadas in Glendora? Delicious!

The empanadas are pretty good , nothing rather shattering tough . They baked it as you ordered , so very fresh. The place more like a small cafe and self serve.

You can eat a lot and not feel like crap. The ingredients are are great and the empanadas are better. Love coming here to pick up a meal or a snack

Working in Glendora for over 15 years, I enjoy going to this place for my empanada food. I like that they switched from deep frying all the empanadas to baking them. A healthier choice. I highly recommended the following: sweet beef, chicken and mushroom, spinach, corn, and eggplant empanadas. Their pizzas are good as well. Soggy pricey but worth it.
Try it out when you are in the area

The empanadas are consistently delicious. The service is great and the people are warm and so friendly! We've tried their pizza and desserts as well. The cha ha cake is phenomenal! They have a good size indoor seating area. The ambiance is relaxed and casual. Love this place!

Beef empanadas & Pizza are absolutely delicious, freshly made! I highly recommend this place.

Best thing that happened to Los Angeles !!
Best empanadas and the variety is great, Pizza done the Buenos Aires style that brought back so many memories that had me tearing up. The staff is great, the young lady that takes your order is very friendly, efficient and always greats you with a lovely smile.
To the empanadas, they are all fantastic, you have empanadas for every one in your family, carnivores, vegetarian, vegan etc, the meaty ones come in spicy, non spicy and hand cut beef, the chicken are also delicious but it's the vegetarian ones are amazing, the eggplant are buttery and delicious, the spinach ones are just as good if not better, there's a lot of empanadas to choose from so no way you're going to get bored nor disappointed. Run don't stop till you get there and buy two of each so you can share or definitely pig out !!!
Oh try their beer too "Quilmes" it's the way to go !!

I absolutely love Rika's Empanadas! Both the food and the personalized service from the owners is second to none. And all items on their menu, empanadas, pizzas, salads, sandwiches, etc., are scrumptiously delectable. Be sure to try their Fatay (middle eastern-style empanada)--you'll thank me later. Lots of comfortable space to dine in, and also great for takeout, so take your pick! Highly recommend! You won't be disappointed!
