I lived in Argentina for two years so maybe I am a little picky about empanadas, but to pay over 2 dollars for one empanada is ridiculous. Over 30 bucks for a dozen? No thanks. In Argentina you can get a dozen for about 5 bucks.
My advice is go to the El Gaucho Meat Market in the south bay. Cheaper and better. About $1.50 an empanada.
