Makus empanadas are the most authentic empanadas in town. They are made while you wait for a fresh and delicious flavor. The service is great and the price for a Makus Meal is very reasonable! Highly recommended!!

I stopped in because I wanted something quick, having very little in the way of expectations. I bit into my first empanada on the way out the door and had to turn around to order more. I didn’t expect them to be nearly that good, especially for the price. I don’t understand why these aren’t absolutely everywhere, but I’ll be returning often.

Makus Empanadas is an absolute gem.
If you’re looking for authentic Argentinian flavor wrapped in a perfectly baked, golden crust — look no further. Every bite of their empanadas is a journey: flaky on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. Whether you go for the classic beef or the indulgent ham & cheese, you’re guaranteed to taste quality and tradition.
Beyond the food, the experience is warm, friendly, and inviting. The staff makes you feel like family, and the passion behind the brand is evident in every detail — from the recipe to the branding. Makus is not just a meal, it’s a celebration of culture and comfort.
Highly recommended for foodies, families, or anyone craving something truly satisfying. I’ll definitely be back — again and again.

Great food and service the only downside was one of the empanadas is stuck to the napkin it was placed in in the takeout box

My favorite empanadas ever. Love that they are baked and not fried. I do not travel thru Durham without stopping, eating and bringing a pan home.

Makus has a delicious and wide variety of empanadas to try. I have eaten many flavors from the ham and cheese to the spinach empanada. All of them were very good! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and all of the folks were nice. Give Makus a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Yes!!! Gluten free is easier by the day, and Makus is on point w these. The ham and cheese might have been my fav. Delicious food and enjoyable, kind service and environment. Absolutely will be back — also for the frozen empanadas to bake at home.

Super yummy dinner. Some of the people eating in my group are gluten and dairy free. The gluten free empanadas were safe those with celiac to eat and were also delicious.

Makus catered a work event for us and everything from accuracy of the orders to the timeliness of delivery were exactly what we needed. Follow-up was provided after service and the experience overall was friendly, accommodating, accurate, timely and delicious! Thank you, Santiago, for helping us keep our hungry crowd happy! :)
