Jeff WilsonAugust 22, 2015Dropped about a c-note because I wanted to try everything. It was a delicious. Really enjoyed the beef tinga and the potato and chorizo empanadas. The chicken and beef skewers are both really good.
Justin OrdovezaNovember 29, 2014Great empanadas. Intensely flavored and very meaty these are filling. The sauces really accentuate the flavors of the empanadas.
Jon MenagerSeptember 21, 2014This place is pretty good! I had the chicken satay. The chicken was juicy, delicious, & all white meat. The peanut sauce it was in was delicious also. I'll have to go back and try some other things!
Kevin TDecember 24, 2016First off, their JP fries are freaking amazing... Perfectly crispy and seasoned!! For empanadas, you can't go wrong with Kailua pig, beef tinga, and BBQ pulled pork.
Brittany FehlmanApril 1, 2013I don't eat meat & still had plenty of choices. I had their "signature salad" & it might have been the best salad I've ever had. Mango, raspberries & caramelized pecans! Spinach empanada was BOMB too!
Steve SeftonMay 4, 2017If you like empanadas you need to go to Johnny's. Signature salad, beef empanada, and roasted corn empanada are all amazing. And the guava-ade refresco is great.
Gloria TapiaFebruary 9, 2016You can't beat their lunch combo! Mixed baby greens, your choice of any 2 empanadas (try their beef tanga, chicken-al pastor or chorizo+potato) & a canned drink. Substitute the can for a Refresco!
BdizzelNovember 7, 2013If your looking for something savory you have to try chicken al pastor empanada and for those with sweet tooth the Flanada with their signature caramel is awesome!
Debby CookSeptember 30, 2016We enjoyed everything we ordered. The signature salad is delicious, and a big serving. We split that and 4 empanadas and were really full.
Christina AnwarOctober 1, 2014Top 3- beef tinga, cheese & chicken empanadas. Flanada dessert empanada. All empanadas are good. Skewers. Get chimmi churri sauce and white sauce.- Billy AmpJuly 7, 2016Johnny's Empanadas are the best in the Pacific Coast area! So many flavors to choose from!
Low KeyMay 15, 2015The empenadas & sticky rice are awesome! I would highly recommend trying this out if you are craving empenadas, or just something different!- Low KeyMay 15, 2015The empenadas, sticky rice, & the skewers were all awesome! I highly recommend hitting this spot if you're craving empenadas!
Alex WickmanJuly 20, 2015The lunch combo.. I usually get two pulled pork empanadas and fries.. there fries are the best I have ever had!
Isabel PadronOctober 1, 2014I'm in love and I honestly don't get tired of the choices and the sauces they pick for the empanadas are on point- Debby CookSeptember 30, 2016Loved the beef tinga, bacon jalapeño, Kailua pig, and spinach and cheese empanadas.
Staff is incredible!! The food speaks for itself and is perfect. Small menu keeps it simple but the flavors are loud!
Justin McGeeOctober 16, 2014Every empanada I've had was incredible, but I think the Tonga Beef stands out the most.
Chicken-al-pastor is the go to. Beef and beef rings are veterans. Can't go wrong though!
Ricky YeanJanuary 31, 2014Sooo good. I got the chummi churri #2 combo lunch. Sooo good!! Best for meat lovers!
Saila ReyesJanuary 4, 2014Lunch special can't be beat. Spinach and cheese empanada and the flanada are king.- Bronson ManningApril 17, 2013Try the Refrescos they are made fresh and are a real treat, especially the pineapple!
Try the chicken al pastor. Honestly they're all pretty good tho. Bring a beer perfect vibe inside
Bre HammondAugust 25, 2019I only tried the chicken. Wanted spinach but it only came with cheese. Empanadas were dripping with oil. Taste was good.
Try their homemade refrescos! Pineapple and guava-ade are my favorites.
Best spinach n cheese,pulled pork,chorizo potato empanadas and guava-ade!!
