What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"This place is a must stop every time I am in the area! I typically get the corn flour ones and today was no different. One pollo (chicken) and one beef w/potatoes (carne). The empanada is perfectly crisp and the filling inside is well seasoned. It is such a satisfying bite once everything comes together. They are made to order so it typically takes about 10 minutes to be ready depending on how many you get. I love the randomness of this place as it just blends in with the other homes. Parking in this area is tough though so if you drive, it may take you a while to find a spot. Smooth operation, the ladies inside are nice, and don't skip that spicy green sauce 🔥 Empanadas Cafe is true Queens gem"
"We came here after a visit from the Queens Zoo and enjoyed our first visit here! It's too bad there are so tables to sit at, just a couple side benches and a tall table. Oh well, we liked the flour ones the best, the beef is a classic, and my fave, the ham and cheese reminded me of too much of a hot pocket, but we enjoyed the chicken/potato, and sweet plantains. The homemade sauces are excellent! If you're in the area, stop here and enjoy!"
"I've had this place occasionally over the years, and the empanadas are always great. Some of the best I've had. The bacon egg and cheese one is great. I personally love the corn flour based ones, they have such a great crispy/chewy crust. Generous fillings. They must make these to order because even after I ordered it was about a ten minute wait for 4 empanadas, so be aware."
"Well this place has been open for years. They can do better for the public . Now you can’t even sit Inside and the place has an outside speaker service . Took like 45min to get our empanadas. 3 total and 1 coffee. And price was a little overpriced for empanadas. The service to public is not very kind. Be ready to wait!!!!!"
"I hate writing reviews specially of food I love. I love the empanadas de queso con platano. In general they’re good. However I ordered the empanadas at 730 they said they close at 8. How I come at 8:03 walked a whole half an hour for them to say no that they closed the register. That’s very miserable and petty of them. I should be more mad that I was but I could just buy at another place it’s all good. I just didn’t like how miserable they seem to be if you don’t like your job just say that don’t take it out on the customers. I would understand if I came at 810 even 805 but 803? 😂"
"Great food, delicious and priced accordingly for the packed empanadas. The vibe is cute and the place is super clean too wonderful stop in on the Main..."
