Empanada’s Place is a solid neighborhood restaurant in Culver City that specializes in Argentinian empanadas. Alex seems to really like this place, and he chose it for our dinner a few weeks ago. Each empanada is $3, or a dozen for $30. The selection available is quite extensive, with almost 20 varieties. While I enjoyed the empanadas, there’s really not that much variety between the various ones (although each variety is in an unique shape, for identifying purposes). Also, they’re deep-fried, and after eating a couple of them, the heaviness of the food set in my stomach. Just imagine these as gourmet hot pockets. Note: cash only.
