Sarah's Empanadas

Best Latin Food in RTP!. IF YOU WANT: 1-Great latin food with no indigestion later to remind you that you had spicy food; 2-Quick service and fresh, healthy latin food made with all natural ingredients (I asked cause I care about what goes in my body);

3-A FANTASTIC LUNCH TREAT with food that is very different from eating tacos, or a simple sandwich at a very reasonable price (don't tell them they could go up on price without a problem!)

4-Take a client or a friend to a unique restaurant that is anything but typical

THEN SARAHs Empanadas is the place to visit!!

BUT, IF YOU ARE LOOKING MORE for:

-1. A waitress that spends a ton of time catering to your every whim, and regardless of the food you feel obligated to tip her a LOT;

-2. Special treatment if you are of latin descent, or you think you are someone more special (VIP) than anyone else (the waitstaff and owner treat everyone the same--like you are there to eat fast and fresh food...no better. no worse)

-3. EXPENSIVE lunch......indigestion......

Then this is NOT the place for YOU.....(ha! ha!)

SERIOUSLY FOLKS: Go and Enjoy While You Can--who knows when the owners, who have been the ONLY restaurant that has survived these tough economic times and has been in this shopping center for over 20 years, or as long as I've been working in this area, will decide to close up shop and retire!…

The Best SOUTH AMERICAN/LATIN food in the area. This restaurant has been the only restaurant that has remained in this small shopping strip where she is located-- Greenwood commons towards Apex for over 21 years! Sarah's baked, 1/2 moon-shaped pastries filled with chicken, beef, veggies and/or cheese are incredible! I take frozen empanadas home to my family when I can and they NEVER get tired of them!

Her bottled salsa is fantastic, and I have used it to cook soups, salads, baked potatoes-meats. With that salsa--all the fresh ingredients, who needs a rack of spices to cook with? You're instantly a chef!

Health benefits--I know her food is extremely fresh tasting and obviously healthy--because you aren't left with that typical 'heartburn' that may come from eating spicy (mexican?) foods. Always leave feeling GREAT!

Her staff, although not chatty, are very efficient, as the objective in this location is to get the RTP lunch crowd quicky in and out-so they can enjoy their lunch and get back to work under their allotted lunch time.

Pricing--it is cheaper than making your own lunch (unless you're eating a pack of crackers or ramen noodles)! I do not know how she has been able to do it. Maybe this is why during the economy downturn, you do not see a big change in the # of people that are packed at her restaurant on a daily basis!

The only negative thing I can say is that she does not cater or that her hours are still only for lunch goers. Come on Sarah's empanadas! It's a great time to make more EMPANADAS and share it with MORE FOLKS! Thanks for making such a great quality food product!…

good/simple food with bad service. you are unlikely to have a return service from your server after your food is delivered. Make sure you order enough extra waters so that you can cool off after eating the spicy salsa. Remember, you are a low priority to the staff there - they don't have much time for you so please don't bother them.…

What is the attraction?. I think you are better off to get the Jamaican beef patties at any Jamaican restaurant. I came here because friends raved about it and I found the food boring and overpriced for what you get. Service is not good - the atmosphere is negative. Why would I go back?…
