We ordered 2 meal deals (2 Empanadas and a drink) Baqueano, Chorizo, Spicy Prawn and Spicy Chicken. It was delicious! The staffs were friendly; location is good and cozy atmosphere.

Having never had an empanada before, this was a great experience! The service was so kind, suggesting which flavour to go for which excitement, they were almost more excited than I was! I enjoy a Cornish pasty but I do think these are better (I’m well aware they are not the same and I may have offended someone but they aren’t completely worlds apart ) so if that’s all you have to go off, like me, try these! It was buttery and flakey, but the crust was stodgy in the best and most hearty way, it was delicious! I will definitely be back, probably to try some other flavours and see which is my favourite! Thanks so much

I absolutely love this place. Empanadas and alfajores are delicious, staff friendly and kind, the prices convenient and the atmosphere cosy. Malo is the best place to go for a light meal in town. My favourites empanadas are "Spicy prawns" and "apple with dulce de leche" (They have options for vegan and vegetarian people too) .

So delicious!!! The best empanadas I’ve had. We had the chorizo chimi, spicy chicken , banana and Nutella empanada and the milk chocolate biscuit dessert thing ( forgot the name). We visited twice in one day and would go back everyday if I could!

A very pleasant place in the lanes which had a selection of sweet and savoury empanadas. Two empanadas were 7 and decently filling and delicious for the price. A great place for a light lunch under 10

Empanadas are what Cornish pasties think they are. Lovely place never been before, friendly staff who recommended a really delicious empanada and gave me a loyalty card. Food was piping hot and absolutely fantastic, full of lots of delicious elements which all tied together beautifully. Little pricey for one item, but it won't stop me from coming back!

Ahoy, mateys! I've got a delicious tale to spin about Malo Empanadas in Brighton England - the treasure trove of tasty treats in empanada form. And let me tell you, these empanadas are a real gem, especially the vegan ones. Now, I know what you're thinking - "vegan empanadas? Can they really be that good?" But fear not, my friend, because Malo Empanadas has cracked the code to creating mouth-watering empanadas that are completely plant-based. The vegan empanadas come in two different flavors, classic spinach and vegan cheese & onion. And let me tell you, they're stuffed to the brim with deliciousness. The pastry is crispy and flaky, the fillings are flavorful and hearty, and the dipping sauces are like the icing on the cake (or should I say, the sauce on the empanada?). But what really sets Malo Empanadas apart is the attention to detail. You can tell that these empanadas are made with love and care. And let's not forget about the atmosphere. Malo Empanadas is like a cozy little hideaway, with colorful decor and friendly staff. It's like stepping into a little piece of South America, without ever leaving Brighton. Overall, Malo Empanadas is a must-visit for anyone looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, vegan or not. It's like a little taste of paradise in every bite. So grab your amigos, your amigas, and anyone else you can round up, and head on over to Malo Empanadas. You won't be disappointed!
