Empanadas Cafe

Tasty empanadas from a cute little shop on Washington. The chicken and mushroom was my favorite by far, but the four that I tried were all good.

These were not the best empanadas I’ve ever had. I was unfortunately disappointed with the taste. I would probably recommend this place more for their desserts however I didn’t try them so I’m not too sure

They have a variety of empanadas but they are not your average fried ones. These are like airfried and dough it's very light. They have a big variety and also sell Jamaican beef patties. They have a little seating area for eating setting quick but other then that not a sit down spot ots a quick grab and go place.they also have pastries and coffee.

Ordered with the Too Good To Go app thinking that I would get empanadas in the surprise bag (At least one) and literally got all breakfast pastries and no empanadas- croissants, strudels, scones for a 9pm pickup. If they advertised as more of pastries bakery I probably would not have ordered from there. Very disappointing.

Great Coffee, Fresh Empanadas. I had a chicken with cheese, my bro had his fave, the 'Cubano,' which is ham and cheese, I guess. They have a few seats outside when the weather is good. They boast at least a dozen varieties of empanada, classics plus unusual fillings such as Guava, Spicy Chorizo, Jerk Chicken, and Pepperoni. Probably takes most people two empanadas to make a filling lunch, but I was happy with just one!

This is not a typical empanada place we see in Jackson Heights or the upper west side, it's an Argentinian empanada place. These empanadas are big and they were baked. The fillings have Italian flavors to them. The chorizo tastes like Italian sausage. They also have pepperoni ones. The shop is small, and the it's a perfect place to grab a quick bite when you get out of PATH.

OVERALL SCORE AT END OF REVIEW!!!!

Came in today to try some empanadas! Boy was I not let down. This might have been some of the tastiest empanadas I’ve ever had. Super authentic food. The dough they use to make the empanadas is super thin and delicious. It reminds me of a lighter pretzel type of dough thin enough to have a crunch. The Philly cheesesteak empanada is super good. If you are going in make sure you ask them to hear it up. We tried a bunch of things from Philly steak to spicy chicken. Got a cheese danish/croissant, a chocolate croissant. I didn’t have a picture of the tres leches cake but let me tell this is hands down the best cake I’ve ever had. If you can get one sweet thing here it is def the tres leches. This place is awesome if you want something small. The staff is friendly she was really nice and helped us out. She recommended some coffee and it was really good. Paired perfectly with the empanada and tres leches. If you are ever in the area I would def stop here, it’s def worth the bang for you buck. We got 8 pastries and 10 empanadas ( I didn’t count exactly) but it came out to 89$ pretty good for a budget delicious meal.

Overall I give this spot a 8.6 on the Empanada scale. Totally worth the time!

Osca Lobsta Out!
