We split four empanadas: the spinach & cheese, the Mediterranean, the chicken & mushrooms, and the traditional Peruvian. They were all great, but between two people, you'll wanna plan to order more. Would be nice if they offered some side dishes too, and apparently they don't have plates.

They’re open early. It’s clean and the staff are always swift and pleasant. The empanadas are fantastic and they have a variety (some savory, some sweet; great breakfast selections). The coffee is good too. This place is excellent.

Empanandas are always a treat for us ( hearty breakfast or lunch). The selection is good and includes a Mediterranean.
I stop by, there's always a good selection. The wait is a few minutes while they are warmed, but you can take them cold and heat at home.
Also has a good expresso drinks.

A casual place in a strip mall serving very tasty and a variety of empanadas. I tried their breakfast sausage empanadas and two of their sweet empanadas. Very tasty and filling. Their drip coffee and barista made coffee are also great. Warm and friendly service. Highly recommend BigE cafe.

I ordered a chicken empanada and a steak empanada. The chicken empanada was big in size, had great taste, and was filling. They're definitely was more meat than crust which was a surprise for me. As for the steak empanada, the taste was not what I expected. There is green olives, raisins, and onions with the steak. In my opinion the raisins and the olives were an off-putting taste for me but that is me. Again this empanada was filled with plenty of steak and on both of the empanadas the crust was very tasty and slightly buttery. Of course I only had the two for the savory empanadas but the dessert apple cranberry was an absolute must have again. The apples were largely diced, the filling was smooth but not too sugary, and once again it was the right amount of filling for the amount of crust. I do want to go back and try some other ones because the empanadas overall were very savory and filling. Big e Cafe has the feeling of a small coffee house but surprisingly has very filling foods. Definitely going to try again!

Empanadas are delicious but I think Milohas down the street is what I would recommend. I guess it depends on what your taste buds prefer. Otherwise I see lots of customers and pretty tempting empanadas. I ordered the Thai and gyro ones, they were okay 👌.

I love empanadas. The cafe has great selections, tasty flavors, the prices are reasonable, the dough and filling ratio is perfect, and the empanadas size is large. I highly recommend this cafe.

Been trying to find good empanadas since moving to SJ and their Peruvian empanadas did not disappoint. Will definitely keep coming back

They are delicious. They taste how you would want an empanada to taste. The dough, the fillings, good stuff. I take them home and reheat. It's nice to have them for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Fast service. We got an apple and cranberry empanadas with Carmel frappes. Both came out right.

Large empanadas with a wide variety of fillings, and the coffee is really good too. What can be better? If you're looking for a cozy little coffee shop with generous portions of food and a chill atmosphere, I highly recommend this place!

This place has the best Empanadas in the South Bay. Their beef empanadas is most popular and also my favorite. It has olives, raisins, onions, and other things. So it's more flavorful and fun to eat than the ones at other restaurants. Other empanadas are good too. Try them out for yourselves. You won't be sappointed.
I hope that the restaurant will continue to use better ingredients and make the empanadas taste good. Inflation is here. Whatever you(restaurant) do, raise the prices if you must, but do not cut back on the ingredients!
