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. The service was incredible and good enough to the point that I made my husband come back with me to try it for himself. Portions are really good and the price is more than reasonable for the area. If you’re looking for a new spot to check out I highly recommend Makus!
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 liked all 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.
Empanadas were all very good as was the beans and rice. Prices are reasonable. Good variety of empanadas and can’t wait to try one of them. Staff was very nice and friendly.
Don't eat here or your going to find yourself going somewhere else to eat shortly after as the price vs amount food don't add up.They charge pretty much $15 for three very small empanadas I'll say they're not even 4 inch LongI tried two beef one chicken and the rice and beansFor the rice and beans the beans were overpowering maybe took 5/6 of the container with really Little riceThe empanadas outside of being extremely small the beef was almost all filler with maybe one beef piece same for the chicken.If your latin and use to eaten alot of food on plate don't come here you'll be disappointed on amount of food received for the price very expensive
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 healthier alternative to all the fried fast food in the area. I'll probably come back.
If you’re reading this before you’re going here to eat don’t do it it was honestly one of the worst things I’ve ever had in my life!! we got one of each and it was horrible each and everyone of them!! They are very bland and The only one that was remotely halfway decent was the pepperoni one and that’s only because it tasted like a pizza!! There’s no way these guys make a decent earning I’m sorry but I’m just trying to save somebody else some pocket change!! I don’t know how they’re charging three dollars for these I wouldn’t give you $.10!! Why haven’t they did the no stars reviews yet??!? I’m sorry guys but do better! I’m sure if you fry them they would Maybe have a better taste but that was the blandest thing I’ve ever had in my life! Considering I’m honest about my reviews I’m sorry you feel that way but obviously it’s your restaurant and you’re gonna defend it!! Lol

This empanadas are the best empanadas I ever seen in my life
I’m from south Florida home of some of the best empanadas. So it was going to be hard to impress me. And unfortunately it wasn’t even close to good. They were overpriced and extremely small. And the flavor was bland we were extremely disappointed.
I can't love these empanadas more. Visit once every week or so. Damn good.
