EaterOctober 5, 2011It's a little out of the way on the west side of town, but once you bite into one of the most perfect, piping hot empanada crusts ever made, you'll be happy you made the trip. [Eater 38 Member]
Alex GronbachOctober 6, 2017Very friendly service, great variety of sweet and savory empanadas to choose from! Some are definitely better than others...ask the staff for their favorites!
Manuel VillasmilOctober 17, 2017This place is well known by their Empanadas which are AMAZING but you also have to try their Choripan. They offer authentic food, cheap prices and friendly staff.
Regina PaneloAugust 11, 2015Amazing empanadas! Definitely recommend the dulce de leche dessert empanada. I think the westheimer location has a coupon for a free dessert empanada if you go to their website or Facebook. Must try!
Houston PressAugust 12, 2014Tucked into a Westchase strip mall on Westheimer near the beltway, Marini's is a family-run empanada delicatessen offering sweet and savory varieties of the fried pies. Read more
Everything is great, from service to flavor, this family owned place had the best tasting empanadas I've ever had, my favorite are the Spinach and the Texas BBQ. a dessert I'd recommend Chio.- Blair AllenSeptember 17, 2018The comfort food to end all comfort foods! If you're craving flaky empenadas filled with sweet or savory concoctions, Marini's is your Shangri-La. Their green sauce is DIVINE, as is the Viva Zapata.
Brett WilliamsJune 20, 2018What a great place. Marini was there himself to greet us and point out some of the best options on the menu. Everything we ordered was incredible.

Ivette TorresOctober 17, 2015Great meat, vegetarian and dessert empanadas! Family owned with excellent ambiance.- Henry's Hungry HoustonAugust 7, 2010Authentic Argentinian empanadas. This place has been in business for 40 years. Get the beef gaucho, four cheese, or queen empanadas. Catch Marcello every Monday on KTMD Telemundo 47.
