Best empanadas I've ever had in life. I've had daydreams of the Hawaiian one for the past two days since I've had it. Spicy green sauce is an awesome compliment for any of the empanadas on the menu. Parking is difficult as the location is on the corner of a busy street.
Trek to Queens to checkout Empanadas Cafe. Upon arrival the ordering process is a bit confusing and you have to flag a staffer or ring the bell to get their attention. The establishment doesn’t allow entry and you must order from a window which makes the experience a bit impersonal.
You order and wait until your name is called. Once the order is ready and your name is called you can then make payment which I found a bit odd.
The empanadas were overall really good. I enjoyed the empanadas de Maíz more than the other.
Their outdoor space is not suited for eating and oddly placed tables on an active sidewalk is not ideal. I recommend heading to the park which is relatively close by car or by foot.
Empanadas here are always fresh and good. It’s unfortunate they get a simple 2 flavor ordered confused. Everything has to be picked up from a window and there is not organization where the line forms or who goes first. Great product, but poor execution skills. Require a little bit more organization. Will return, the empanadas are good and they did offer to fix their mistake.
So where do I begin empanada café is truly a beautiful gem in the heart of Queens New York the quality and service experience of this restaurant will always be unbeatable to me and I’m so happy that it is a recognizable name along other iconic restaurants in New York City Luz and her team are truly beautiful people who care about the customer and the quality of the food. They receive an amazing and I’m so thankful that they are striving with the service they provide because in my opinion, this restaurant has only gotten better better better always in the years it really has
I’d love to give this place a 5 because the empanadas are good but really horrible service. They really need to get their act together. Ordering party platters from here was really a hassle and in the end not worth it. I called in advance and paid and then called the day before to confirm and then 1/2 hour before I got there and like I said a hassle - definitely not a helping here again just so I don’t have to deal
The variety and quality of empanadas offered were exceptional. Each empanada was a flavorful with a perfect balance of fillings and a golden, flaky crust. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to eat some empanadas.
Don’t forget to bring cash because they charge additional fees for credit cards.
These empanadas are delicious, highly recommended. If you are in a rush For faster service I recommend ordering ahead. The wait time can be 15mins

4/1/22: Excellent empanadas. They take 10 to 20 minutes to cook after you order, but it's worth the wait. The crust is perfectly crispy and flaky. And they include a fresh made green hot sauce (not from a bottle). Had the plantain and cheese (4.75*), jalapeno and cheese (4.75*), Nutella and banana (4.5*), and the pork chicharron (4.0*, the only one I didn't love, I was expecting some of the crispy chicharron inside, but it's all soft, wouldn't order this one again as they've got so many other great ones). Update: Came back the same day to order more: Corn Flour Shredded Beef and Potato (4.5*), Corn Flour Ground Beef and Cheese (4.5*), Whole Grain Chicken and Cheese (4.5*), Corn Flour Chicken and Potato (4.25*), White Flour Beef (4.25*), Corn Flour Broccoli and Cheese (4*, decent but boring, wouldn't order again), White Flour Spinach and Ricotta (4*, decent but boring, wouldn't order again), Corn Flour Codfish and Potato (3.5*, too fishy, wouldn't order again), White Flour Hawaiana (Ham, Cheese, Pineapple) (3.5*, too sweet, didn't like flavor, wouldn't order again).
Absolutely phenomenal empanadas!
Tried 5 different kinds, they were more than great - they were substantially different from one another!
I wish I lived closer to go back sooner.
Saw some comments that they don't take credit cards but I think that info is out of date.
MAN!!!! THE BEST EMPANADAS EVER!!!!
I ordered chicken with potatoes,pork and fish.
Fish was ok.
CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND PORK are LEGIT ones to try!!
Price is reasonable.
You call ahead and they will get it ready within 20min. Hot and crispy!! so YUMMY🤪🤪
After I ordered, I waited about 15min. before my name was called.
