The yummiest empanadas ever. Holding its own along side the empanada truck downtown Brooklyn.
Wow! Amazing empanadas - so many choices! I got 4 each one different and still can't decide which one I love best. The avocado sauce and green (fire) sauce are perfect complements to these fresh made empanadas. And the fresh fruit smoothies for $4 are like desserts. At this quality and price - this little gem of a restaurant will be a huge hit. Nice, friendly, family owned. And for one hour before closing - the place was packed. My new favorite go-to place when I'm too tired to cook or I want authentic Spanish food.
So my Anthony brought me 2 shrimp Empanadas my fault this was my first time and was not sure how I would feel about it, but boy oh boy I told him don't ever bring me 2 again he can bring about 1 dozen they were that good now I was not there with him but he brought home some avocado and some other sauce it would be nice to have like a light spices sauce. That being said am also going to try the many others they sell so can't wait see you then.
Been coming here for over a year and my partner for the last 3! We can’t get enough. Their empanadas are always fresh, always super tasty and they claim; “the best in Brooklyn!” And it’s really hard to argue that; they really are up there. The prices are fair, they offer a plethora of fillings and creative flavors. They have the best system as an Empanada Restaurant, marking their empanadas with stamps, which is a step few (if anyone) I’ve seen take; which is so helpful when divvying them out wondering which is which. Each empanada is stamped according to the lettering on the menu.
There’s really nothing to dislike about this place! Some forewarning though they don’t keep their empanadas hot in a little case; so if you’re thinking you’ll stop in for a grab and go, it’s more like 4-7 mins for your order once you place it. It’s fresh you know? Still a grab and go but in that time frame.
They also have a delicious limeade with fresh fruit inside that is divine! 10/10 you need that drink (or one of their other delicious ones) to wash down these empanadas 🤤
The inner atmosphere is also always pleasant. Nice music plays, while the staff is friendly and attentive. It’s nice and quaint & sometimes you can sit outside! Whether you need a snack on your way to the Park or dinner, it’s a great spot to eat at.
Great Flavor Options! Decent Prices, Train station 2 blocks away so Easy to get to. Love it.
So I actually been looking for an Empanada place since the one that I use to go too in the city has closed down due to covid. I got an email from Uber Eats while doing food deliveries about this place. So I hopped on the 2 train in the city to go check it out. I absolutely loved it. Someone said their smoothies are amazing so I decided to try the Nutella one and it was definitely one of my faves now. So I expected the pizza burger to be my fave one but surprisingly it ended up being my least fave. The Americano was my Fave, it was Tasty and delicious, I will be going back and probably getting 2 Americanos and 1 Cuban. The Cuban was my 2nd Fave. I definitely recommend checking out this spot, you won't regret it.
Spinach ricotta and plantain cheese were my favorites. Thought I’d like the classic plantain/cheese/beef but didn’t like as much, meat was kind of bland. Flan was a bit firm dare I say “dry,”? Still a great option when you’re in the mood for empanadas.
The empanadas are soooo great! Not greasy at all!!! Definitely a different taste from the usual chicken and beef ones
I was desperately craving some empanadas & searched “best empanadas in NY” on Google. Empanada City came up & I quickly ordered off Uber Eats! The crust was so flaky & the meat tender on the inside! I also loved their sauces. Will definitely be going back to try & want to go visit the restaurant next time!
A Prospect Lefferts Gardens staple. Always reliable, accurate, and DELICIOUS.
I went and picked up shrimp empanadas and tried out the Americana empanada (VERY GOOD) the other day - I didn’t make it out of the outdoor seating because I knew it would slap as always. Ate everything on their cute patio space because I couldn’t wait until I got home.
Shrimp empanada with a little avocado sauce and pink sauce is the BEST. The empanadas are conveniently labeled on the crust part in the corner so you can distinguish between different empanada flavors.
