Rika's Empanadas is a great Argentinian restaurant specialized in Argentinian food and pastries . It is located in Grand Avenue Plaza in Glendora. The parking lot is shared with other businesses, but it is easy to find a spot. Rika's has different varieties of fresh and delicious empanadas.  Their savory menu includes cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, pizzas, calzones, and salads. They also have both savory and Sweet crepe. The restaurant is clean and has a cozy vibe. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. I ordered the following to go; One Dozen Empanadas; -Chopped beef    5/5 chopped beef, onions, bell peepers, chopped potatoes, boiled eggs and green olives - Fatay:       5/5 The filling is ground beef, fresh tomatoes, lemon juice, bell peppers, onions, garlic and parsley -Bacon and prunes;    5/5 the filling is bacon, prunes onions and mozzarella cheese -Chicken   5/5 It has chopped chicken, onions, egg and olive -chicken and mushrooms  5/5 It has chicken, mushrooms, leeks, green onions, chopped almonds&  parmesan cheese -  ham and cheese 5/5 Just ham and mozzarella cheese Beauty is in simplicity and this was perfect! All empanadas we tried had perfect crust and the filling was delectable and scrumptious. - A beef  milanesa sandwich  5/5 breaded fried aye of round beef (mayonnaise lettuce, tomatoes. The sandwich was both  huge and delicious. - A Four seasons pizza; This pizza was divided into four quarters with four different toppings ; the first quater was Ham & pineapple, the second quarter was pepperoni, the last two quarters are ham & red bell peppers then tomato garlic and mushrooms with green olives. The toppings were generous and very flavorful, and the crust enhanced the toppings. This Four Seasons Pizza was perfect and convenient. Everyone in my family got what they wanted.Finally, I got  nutella Sweet crepe (5/5) for dessert. It had nice texture and the chocolate hazelnut was rich and creamy. We enjoyed our dinner ,verything was delicious and flavorful.. It is a great food to try! I definitely recommend Rika's Empanadas.

Loved the milanesa sandwich (which was HUGE) and the empanadas. Also, bought a ARG cup too! We'll be back!

I loveeee empanadas and have been craving them recently. I did not dine in, but the place seemed cozy. Service seemed ok. I bought a dozen to-go in different flavors to share with friends on the drive to Coachella. I threw them in the air fryer before leaving and they were yummy and easy to eat! My friends loved them too. Beef is their most popular and definitely the best one. It's full of flavor -- surprisingly, even though I don't like olives I still really liked it. I probably wouldn't get the other ones again but it was fun to try. Beef- 10/10 Spicy beef - 10/10 Cream chicken - 6/10 Ham cheese - 5/0

Delicious Argentinian Empanadas. They offer a variety of oven baked empanadas. I tried three different flavors and I was very satisfied with each of the flavors. I also had a cup of delicious coffee. The restaurant is very clean with a large seating area. The staff was very friendly. Definitely will be coming back.

I believe this is our 5th time we ordered from this place. We tried argentina empanadas everywhere. But nothing can compare here. Flavor,size,filling,freshness...we live 20 miles away but worth the drive all the times. The only downside is I wish they open longer. This place is a must try!!

Ordered take out for NYE over the phone the day before, she had them ready for pick up next day. My husband picked up and said we should go eat there (meaning in restaurant) Everyone enjoyed the variety of empanadas!

In a nutshell: Argentinean comfort foods galore, generous portion sizes, and excellent service at this cute mom & pop shop! We had reservations for Sunday at 2pm to celebrate my dad's birthday. Since we live a bit far, it's always nice to know that we'll eat absolutely delicious food at Rika's. The drive is well worth it! We had the Four Seasons Pizza, a half cheese half pepperoni pizza, as well as (not pictured, because hungry) Milanesa Napolitana, ensalada criolla, and for dessert the Torta Chajal. This cake is so incredibly delicious. It's a rum SPIKED cake with homemade merengue, duraznos (peaches), cream and dulce de leche (milk caramel). It was the perfect way to end our celebrations. Highly recommend you pair the chajal cake with mate cocido, an authentic Argentinean tea! Thanks Rika's for another wonderful dining experience!

My husband bought a dozen empanadas assorted to try. They are very filling and I was full after eating just two. My favorite ones were the cheese and onion, beef, and chicken and mushroom. There was a lot of options with olives since it is Argentinian style and they unfortunately are unable to make a batch without if you dislike olives as much as I do. The onion and cheese empanada was very simple but happened to be the only one that would make me come back to buy more. Since we bought a dozen, they gave us some complimentary croissant pastries which were good sweet treats but nothing to write home about. Overall, I enjoyed it and they have amazing dough that is baked to perfection!

Working in Glendora for over 15 years, I enjoy going to this place for my empanada food. I like that they switched from deep frying all the empanadas to baking them. A healthier choice. I highly recommended the following: sweet beef, chicken and mushroom, spinach, corn, and eggplant empanadas. Their pizzas are good as well. Soggy pricey but worth it. Try it out when you are in the area
