Continental Gourmet Market - Hawthorne

We love the empanadas. We tried three flavors so far. The spinach is juicy and very tasty. The spicy beef and chicken are flavorful, though the spicy beef is very spicy, yummy and satisfying. There are also spicy chicken and regular beef.

I ordered a small sandwich ($6.99) and I'll have to say that the roll that they made my sandwich was by far the best I've had in probably 20+ years! Definitely recommend the roll, the sandwich was good and tasty too. The meat on the other hand was paper thin and really took away from what could of been an outstanding sandwich.

Located on Prairie Avenue in Hawthorne, Continental Gourmet Market had the distinction of hosting Food Network host Alton Brown, who drove across the country on a motorcycle to try their renowned empanadas. Apparently, they’re as good as everyone says they are. Unlike their Mexican counterparts, they’re made with Latin American spices, ingredients, and recipes that keep hungry customers coming back time and time again. The market specializes in specialty foods from Argentina, Chile, and Peru. They also operate a thriving catering business and a huge variety of takeout grub, like gourmet sandwiches, homemade soup, and traditional South American BBQ.
