Best empanadas!

These empanadas never disappoint! The flavors and texture of the dough is like nothing I have ever tried. Easy to place the order via phone or website.

Celiac Safe & Delicious!

Absolutely delicious empanadas and the chimichurri is amazing. Easy ordering and shipping to Michigan, and peace of mind regarding celiac and gluten intolerance. Can’t wait to order again!

Never Disappoints!

Wow! Delicious empanadas. Very fairly priced for what you are getting. The dough is delicious and my favorite part. The different varieties of empanadas are excellent as there are many to choose from. Can’t really go wrong with any of them. Staff is always very friendly and accommodating. They care about customer service and always go above and beyond to deliver. Thanks again, Cassava!

A Mealtime Staple

These empanadas are amazing, and have quickly gained a top spot in our meal rotation. The bacon egg and cheese and huevos rancheros are perfect on-the-go breakfasts, and every other flavor is a hearty and satisfying lunch or dinner all on its own.

Cassava a Great Gift

We love cassava in our home. It's the best feeling after daycare pickup when we know "Wait! there's cassava in the freezer' - But now I've start gifting the starter pack for people with new babies or need an easy dinner. Love sharing this easy meal with friends.

Celliac Gluten Free Goodness

So delicious and I love that the entire family loves these. Friends too. Breakfast egg and bacon are our favorite but we've not tried one we've not liked. My son has Celiac and has never had a bad reaction. Super safe.

This is the food of the gods!!!

We love love having an easy weeknight meal that is gluten free and can be vegetarian. It’s something our whole house enjoys. We love picking out our flavors, love eating them, and especially love that moment driving home when we remember there is cassava in the freezer. What a treat.

Amazing place!

As someone with celiac it's sometimes hard to grab lunch while at work, but scheduling takeout from Cassava was easy and they'll heat it right up for you. Thumbs up for taste too!

Amazing Empanadas!

Jorge was incredibly accommodating with my pick-up order for my friend's weekend celebration! We ordered a variety of breakfast + classic empanadas with a delicious side of chimichurri! Thank you Jorge and Cassava! Would order from you again without question :)

What a treat!

Cassava has been such a great provider of quality gluten free food since I found them 6yrs ago. 10 out of 10 for satisfaction.

I'm addicted to this place, their breakfast, dinner, and dessert empanadas are all fantastic. Like someone else said on here, some of the best barbacoa I've ever had, those are a must! Thanks Jorge and crew for a delicious gluten free experience

Thank you Cassava!

My wife has celiac and eating out has been a no go since Chicago has so few GF restaurants. Cassava to the rescue with a wonderful variety of empanadas to satisfy everyone. We've tried most of the flavors and are really happy with all the new flavors that keep coming out (they are great). Everyone looks forward to empanada night in our house!

Delicious Gluten Free - Family LOVES

My son has Celiac and we all love the empanadas and the pizza's. He has never gotten sick. We love the egg and bacon for breakfast and almost every flavor of the meat and/or veggie variety. Great service and fast shipping.

They just keep getting better

On our last order, we got the Cubano and thought we had found our favorite. Then we got the Irish pot roast and wow! It is getting harder and harder to pick a favorite. Keep up the excellent work!

I love them too much!

Cassava empanadas are so good, I want to eat theme every day. I wake up thinking about them, and after I finish the last bite, I'm sad that it's over. I almost wish I had never found them. (But I'm glad I did!)

Delicious and Gluten Free

My son has celiac disease and we are always looking for great-tasting gluten-free foods that are easy to prepare. We all love them! The flavor, the ingredients are fantastic. We order breakfast and dinner items and pizza. He has not gotten sick.

Cassava for always

I have been a fan/patron since the brick-and-mortar location on Clark (2015?). I was disappointed to see the storefront close, but I am so grateful that it’s still possible to enjoy these delicious empanadas!

As someone with celiac, I am always excited to find places that can accommodate gluten free — and being a dedicated gluten-free facility brings so much piece of mind.

Cassava has gotten me through my first trimester and postpartum time — twice. My husband and I love the Greek chicken, roasted veggie, Cubano, roasted pork, adobo chicken, and so many more! Their cinnamon rolls were a pregnancy craving with my first. You really can’t go wrong!
