Reviews for Makus Empanadas in Durham, NC
Makus is officially one of my favorite places in Durham. I?m lucky enough to work close by and decided to give them a try, and... they did not disappoint. The Veggie, Sweet Corn and Spinach empanadas are great for fellow consumers of little to no meat. Theservice was incredible and good enough to the point that I made my husband come back with me to try it for himself. Portions arereally good and the price is more than reasonable for the area. If you?re looking for a new spot to check out I highly recommendMakus! Read more
Great empanadas. The baked crust was great and not nearly as heavy as I'm used to empanadas being, and in the little letters... stamped into the different types was cute and made them easy to navigate. Ordered pork, chicken, sweet corn, and beef. I likedall of them! The sweet corn was surprising - I don't know why, it's literally corn and cheese. Chicken was probably my favorite.I would order ten more easily. Read more
Nothing was wrong with the empanadas I ordered, but like others said they are a little dry and bland. I wouldn't order the... chicken again, but the pepperoni and sweet corn fillings were really good. Loved the rice. I was looking for a healthieralternative to all the fried fast food in the area. I'll probably come back. Read more
This was my first time eating empanadas from here. I got the beef empanadas which are supposed to be the most popular, and the... sweet corn. I wasn?t that keen on the beef one. It had like refried beans or something in it, I prefer empanadas prepared adifferent way. That?s what?s great about empanadas there?s a wide variety. Anyways I never tried a sweet corn empanadas thoughand that was surprisingly delicious. I will definitely return and get the sweet corn empanadas and try other ones. No complaintson service or ordering. Read more
SO yummy. Got a veggie one (pictured) and ham and cheese one. 10/10 would go back! Small but filling! Good price! PS: they bake... a letter into the outside edge to let you know which empanada is which! - so cute! Read more
Disappointment. Pure Disappointment Perfect business set up worst product ever. On time, easy to check out, friendly staff,... fairly priced (before you try the product) Why did we throw them away. Not authentic: a beef empanada is 100% beef plus onionsand spices. This product has 50% fillers, who knows what they are, corn starches and fat of sorts. Fast food meets Argentinaempanada. Boo!

Cleanliness 5/5. Food prep was done with gloves, which were then taken off and new ones put on by staff when handling money in... between serving our food. Tables in dining area were clean. Bathroom was acceptable, for lunch time standards. Price 4/5. Thefood is reasonably priced. It's not gonna break the bank, however I wish the empanadas were at least $.50 cents cheaper so Icould afford to buy more than just a few! Quality 5/5. Incredible! They taste amazing and are packed little pockets of flavor. Ihave tried the veggie, chicken and pork. Loaded down with sauce and cheese. Juicy meats baked in marinades and soaking in theirown juices create a packed punch on your tastebuds. Just wish they were a little bigger than the size of small dumpling! Service5/5. Cashier was working fast between managing the register and prepping peoples food. Even made an extra trip to ensure we wereenjoying our meals and bring some hot sauce to us. We will be back.
