Discovering a Dog Friendly Gem: Empanada Factory
Finding a fast, affordable, and delicious lunch spot can be a challenge — especially if you want to bring your pup along. Last week, we stumbled upon a hidden gem after visiting Paws In Charge that that hits all the right notes: The Empanada Factory, located at 9320 W Flamingo Rd. #2 in Las Vegas.
While dogs aren’t allowed inside, the small outdoor seating area makes it easy for pet parents to enjoy a bite with their four-legged companions. We watched a fellow customer with his dog order inside, and the staff efficiently brought the food out to their table with a friendly smile — definitely a welcoming touch for dog lovers.
The menu is a celebration of authentic Argentinian flavors. We had a tough time narrowing down our choices with standout options like the Papa Rellena, sweet plantains, and a tempting variety of sandwiches. Ultimately, we went with the namesake empanadas, which were just as delicious as promised. Baked or fried, each empanada had unique and delicious flavor, and the flaky, golden crust coupled with the surprising compliment their sauces offered made this a new favorite. For those looking to make lunch a little more indulgent, The Empanada Factory also serves coffee and alcoholic beverages.
The staff was another highlight of our visit: welcoming, helpful, and clearly proud of their offerings. Even though the patio is small — two tables for two — the experience felt personal, relaxed, and utterly satisfying. Between the quality of the food, the efficient service, and the dog-friendly approach, this location is shaping up to be a new favorite for casual lunches with the pup.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on your own or bringing your pup to enjoy some outdoor time, The Empanada Factory is worth a stop. It’s fast, affordable, and authentically delicious — a trifecta that’s hard to beat.
