Located inside of the food hall armature works, this is such a cute spot. We were able to meet the owner and she was very friendly!
We got to try the new cheeseburger fries today, and they were absolutely amazing. Cheesy, saucey, hot and just so so yummy. The sauce they put on them is unique, I could definitely see myself buying a whole bottle of it!
I’m pregnant and craving cheeseburgers always, this definitely hit the spot. THANK YOU!
You have to try these! :) I’ll be back to try the empanadas soon!
Got the Dinner for Two with my boyfriend. We tried all four kinds of empanadas and they were delicious! Super crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside. My favorite was the Bacon Me Crazy, SO GOOD! Will definitely come back.
Empamamas is located in Armature works. They have a wide variety of menu items from tacos and empanadas, to smothered tenders and fries. I HIGHLY recommend you make this your next lunch spot while visiting Tampa! We tried everything on the menu including all of their homemade sauces and it didn’t not disappoint.
I love this place!!! I come here whenever I come to Tampa. I wish she would open a location in Greenville SC. Hint hint. The Back me crazy is my favorite and my husband loves the cheeseburger one. Food is fresh, hot and delicious! Service with a smile
I'm a lover of meat wrapped in dough, fried or baked so I definitely had to get some empanadas.
I ordered the Tampa Girl and Cheese burger. I looked at the ingredients but the combo didn't click at moment. I took a bite into the Tampa Girl and I thought I bit into a juicy Cubano. It was obscenely delicious. It was juicy and cheesy in a flaky wrapper. The cheese burger was on point as well. Definitely try both.
The best empanadas and amazing service. The menu has changed a bit and Alley helped me make my decision. You know you’re in the right spot when the people have a smile and talk about their products with passion. Great experience.
Ok so we went here to try something new. The empanadas were nothing we thought they were, but they were very good and very tasty. We were absolutely loving the atmosphere it was in. Lots going on around the restaurant. Also loved how they imprinted the kind you order on the crust.
Was pleasantly surprised by the food at this stall and armature Works. We had the bacon me crazy empanada, and it was very delicious and flavorful. It was also cooked perfectly. The prices were also good, and service very fast
We drive from Orlando an hr and 15 mins to eat here. The best empanadas on the planet!!! Cheeseburger ones are our favorite!
The Tampa Girl is all of the goodness of a Cuban sandwich in a smaller form factor. Highly recommend it as a snack as you stroll along Armature Works
My family and I went downtown Tampa to this area called Armature Works where they have different types of places where you can eat and drink And we found this place called Empamamas And Ali (Who gets 5 s) recommended that I tried the bang bang tenders and fries and I must tell you it was a great choice! It wasn't that spicy and the chicken was juicy and the french fries were seasoned extremely well! The only reason why I gave them four stars is because I felt that the pricing was just a tad bit too high! Overall, Ali was so enthusiastic and had a lot of energy and definitely made up for the high end price! Thank you Ali for the excellent choice and for an awesome experience at this location and because of you, I anxiously look forward to coming back to Empamamas to try something else on your extensive menu!
Amazing environment however you will be waiting in line for a few minutes. But how can you not wait on amazing food. Tampa girl empanada was 9/10 … so good !!! Chicken tenders and fries were 8/10zzz chicken is a 10/10 and fries were ok . A must try place !!!! Coming back for empanadas .
Great recipes. Friendly service. We loved our Tampa Girl empanadas. The cheeseburger empanada is very cool too 😎 Thank you for the great food.
We were recently on a quick trip to Tampa- and we ate at all the famous places--- The Columbia, Ulalele, La Segunda Bakery--- and while all were good- I have to say- the empanadas we had at Empamamas were the best meal we had in Tampa by far. One of the best meals out we've had in a long time. My husband and I split a Tampa Girl, a Fresh prince, and a cheeseburger in paradise. They were ALL absolutely delicious and wonderful. Plus the service was great--- I love the cashier who called everyone "my love". Absolutely fantastic and you should go here if you have the chance.
This was one of the places we decided to try at Armature Works.
We got:
- Cheeseburger in Paradise Empanada
- Bang Bang Tacos
I loved the empanada. It definitely wasn't traditional, but the flavor was great. The tacos were just ok for me. The chicken was pretty good, but there was way too much slaw so that was pretty much all you could taste.
I'd come back to try more empanadas!
The Tampa girl and the cheeseburger empanada are amazing!! Creative and yummy! Plus, totally affordable and filling.
The bang bang chicken, queso & chips, fries, and Tampa girl empanadas were delicious! A must try at armature works.
Late lunch with bam bam chicken, pork tacos, and cheese quesadilla. Very busy counter service was quick out hot and fresh. Portions were almost too large. Prices are as expected at a tourist location. Give this place a try.
