A cozy spot with the most delicious and comforting empanadas I've ever had! They were sooo good I knew I had to order one more after my first bite! We tried 5 fillings and I'd rate them like so, but honestly they're all so yummy you have to try them all: 1) Chicken, 2) Pork, 3) Spicy Beef, 4) Tuna, 5) Beef/Classic. They also have sandwiches that look insanely savory and a large portion of protein so I'd definitely want to try one of them next time. read more

My SO and I have traveled extensively in Argentina and have many Argentinian friends here in NYC and have had our fair share of homemade and restaurant Argentinian empanadas and these right here and the REAL MF DEAL (as Samuel L. Jackson would say if he had them). RUN here, like now, and grab several dozen of every kind of empanada they offer! Tried the traditional beef, the chicken and the spicy beef empanadas and the dough is perfectly thin and crunchy but still sturdy enough to hold in all of the generous stuffed fillings! All were seasoned to perfection and just so juicy that there was nothing dry about these delicious pockets of deliciousness and not so juicy that it created wet pockets to make it soggy. Also tried their Lomito sandwich they serve and again, brought me back to all the fond memories of all of the sammies I had in Burgess Aires. Empanadas also feature her Korean heritage fillings as well so you get a nice combo! PSA to the Future consumers: Just like America has Americans of different ethnicity born and raised here, other countries have that too, people! Owner/chef is an Argentinian Korean who's parents immigrated there many moons ago and she was born there thus making her a bonafide Argentinian. The audacity of some people passing judgement on her and her knowledge of her home country's cuisine she's presenting is absurd and disrespectful. With that said, this is a must go and a must support to remain open forever! read more

Hidden in the village of Port Washington is Caminito Kitchen, an Argentinian Empanada and sandwich shop with some Korean influence. Ambience - the dining room is a standard cozy sandwich shop or cafe. The owner is Argentinian of Korean descent. There is actually a sign that reads "yes' I'm from Argentina", so I guess plenty of people are thrown off by the accent. Staff is super friendly and helpful with the menu. Food: we tried: Beef Clasica Empanada - the classic ground beef empanada. This was perfect. 5/5 Spicy Shrimp Empanada - shrimp, onions, coconut milk and Thai curry. This tasted like it came straight out of a Thai restaurant but stuffed in an empanada 4/5 Bulgogi Empanada - right out of your local K-BBQ, but in a baked pastry shell. 4/5 Milanese de Pollo - Fried Chicken cutlet in a baked roll. This was so fresh. The chicken was tender and flavorful. 5/5. read more

Wow! Did not expect such flavor bombs. Not your classic empanadas, there are so many interesting flavors Our favorite was the Gorgonzola and nuts and tuna olive which will make it on the menu soon. We also really enjoyed the mushrooms, spicy beef and carnitas Also make sure you try the hot sauce with the red peppers. The owner was super nice and the empanadas came out a lot sooner than the 15 minutes they said. We will certainly become regulars! read more

Tried the beef and the Napolitana empanadas! Both were very good and fresh. If you order you have to try their chimichurri sauce. This place is homey and a perfect stop to grab a quick bite. It was my first time stopping in and the service was helpful. A hidden gem on Long Island! read more

Food is very savory and fresh. Delicious Service Sadly they have closed up shop. They will be missed read more

Have been to Caminito a few times and it is always great! The empanadas are delicious, and the flavors are unique. The way that they are labeled is great as it can sometimes be tough knowing which is which if they all look the same! The passionfruit juice is also amazing, tart and fruity- one of the best I've had! The service is quick and easy, order at the counter. The ambiance is okay, small space with some tables and TVs. Usually do takeout..would recommend! read more

I first ordered several empanadas for delivery and they were excellent. Every one of them had looked and tasted like authentic Argentinian empanadas. About a week later, I decided to go into the restaurant and try some other flavors and not only were they excellent again but got to meet the owner who attended us. She was very friendly and passionate about what she's serving. Great food and experience and look forward to having them again soon! read more

Tried the spicy beef baked empanadas today and they were excellent. Best empanadas I've had on Long Island. Also - easy online ordering and didn't run out later in day when I ordered like many empanada places. Will return. read more

Delicious! Had many empanadas throughout the city but this one has my heart and stomach. Especially love the spicy shrimp, chicken, bulgogi, truffles, pork, Omg... I don't think there is one I don't love... this is how much I love it....I order a dozen and asked for it half baked, stick it in the freezer and then air fry one daily. This is an absolute must place to try. It's an addiction!! read more

Counter service selling empanadas and sandwiches. Picked up 8 empanadas for dinner for 3, they were very filling and tasty. Takes about 15 minutes, they are baked to order. Friendly service, will be coming back. read more

Food was amazing and so was the service. The Pork belly sandwich just melted in your mouth, the Chicken and beef Milanese sandwich was also delicious. There's a long list of scrumptious empanadas that will take a while to try them all. My favorite was the carnitas empanada , which I didn't think I would like. The young woman that took our order was so nice and helpful ..I would give it 10 stars if I could. read more

Caminito Kitchen - Empanadas - Argentine Near Me - Port Washington, New York

Visited this place twice for lunch and really love this place. The first time I visited I ordered the Choripan and my wife got a beef empanada. Both of us loved it. Went back yesterday a few minutes after they opened and we split the Milanese Chicken and a Fig&Goat cheese empanada. The Milanese was ok, didn't need the cheese IMO. The empanada was amazing and very creative! I've slowly learned just to go empanada or choripan. Also got a mango juice, was happy with that. Wish it was a few dollars less, but happy to keep them in business. The service was great both days. The second day when we arrived early, they were still playing catchup, but it didn't interfere with how comfortable we felt. Live the interior, very clean and eclectic read more

Absolutely AMAZING empanadas!!! The chef, Sara, came out to introduce herself and she was super warm and friendly. She is from Argentina and it really shows in her terrific cooking! Sara, the front server is wonderful and so kind. This was my first visit and I will definitely be back!! read more

Pre-ordered via phone 20 minutes in advance for dine in, looking to avoid long wait times. We arrived the food wasn't ready. We waited an additional 30 minutes for two empanadas which made us extremely late for an event. We watched other walk-in's receive their food before us. 50 minutes total wait for 2 empanadas. And to add, the empanadas were the wrong orders. Egg and olives were inside, rather than just steak. Second occasion, called again 15 minutes in advance for two empanadas- dine in. Arrived and the food was not ready. We waited an additional 10 minutes in total, just for the inside of the empanadas to be cold. My daughter needed to be back at school, we had no additional time to wait. Although the owner offered to refund us the money, that didn't help as our daughter needed to go back to school and was still very hungry. read more

The Korean food here is mediocre at best, and the Argentinian offerings are equally underwhelming. I'm skeptical of the chef's credentials, as there's no mention of her culinary background or prior experience at reputable establishments. This seems like a simple transition from a food cart to a storefront--nothing more than an alternative to fast food like McDonald's. Save your money. The service is horrible, too, which explains the high turnover of employees. The positive reviews seem to come from the owner or family and friends. read more

The food is so, so good here. I'm a big fan of empanadas and believe me, this ones are the best I have tried so far in the US. This empanadas are big, tasty and rich. The sandwiches ara amazing too. The service was really good, friendly and fast and the atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommended! read more

Whats not love about hand made empanadas?! Delectable flavors not seen before, all made with love and care. Service was fantastic and ambiance was like visiting a friends home. You're greeted warmly and all questions answered honestly. The empanadas themselves are delicious. You can choose between fried or baked options. All delicious. Their homemade sauces were amazing. Their green sauce was so good we took some home! We will definitely be back! read more

Mind blowing how good these empanadas are. Wish I knew about this spot sooner! The pork, chicken and bulgogi were really good.

I'm not an empanada expert at all but these are fantastic - very tasty and not as heavy as I was expecting. If I had to nit pick one thing - they don't give much sauce with the empanadas, but I'll survive. read more

Delicious empanadas and other options, welcome addition to the neighborhood! Pleasant and friendly service.

This place is a very nice cozy. Love the service and the Argentinian vibe. The food was delicious. The best empanadas I ever had. read more

I've tried both the baked and fried empanadas and they're really good. The empanadas are flavorful, filling, and feel artisanal. My favorites are the baked chicken and the fried Napolitana. The side sauces add a nice little kick, which I like. Overall, this place is a hidden gem! read more

These are hands down the best empanadas anywhere. The ingredients are the highest quality. The meat is tender and and never greasy or heavy. The dough is perfectly crispy and light. And everything is seasoned to perfection. I thought I knew what empanadas were - then I tried these. I never knew empanadas could be this good! read more

Really good food and the people there are very friendly. Very unique empanadas and don't discount the sandwiches. The sandwiches are really good. read more

Amazing empanadas. Fried and baked, and also vegetarian options available. The sauces that come with them are so flavorful. Owned by a lovely woman. Go support this new gem in Port! read more

Most wonderful empanadas outside of Argentina. We ordered a bunch a different empanadas for takeout. They came in two boxes with three in each box. It only occurred to me to take a picture after we devoured three of the six. You don't see fried ham & cheese, seco de pork, and spinach & ricotta. You see the other three in the picture: another spinach & ricotta, spicy beef, and spicy shrimp. They came with condiments including chimichurri. I can't stress how luxurious and overflowing with meat they were. Each was stamped with its name as you can see from the picture. I wish I took pictures of the inside. But we simply gobbled down these three remaining shortly after taking this one picture. I'll take more pictures next time. The shrimp by itself was great, but honestly I didn't thin it went with pastry. But all the rest were heavenly. Soft and juicy pulled pork. Loved the taste of beef. Traditional ham and cheese. And I am especially partial to ricotta. read more

Excellent quality made with love. We had the ham and cheese, pork, classic beef, and chicken. All of the sauces were great as well. Amazing service and quality ingredients. 10/10 recommend read more

My family attempted to try this place twice during the week after work and they were closed. We finally got the chance this last weekend. We ordered a bunch of empenadas for take out. The owner (I think it was the owner- lovely Korean woman) was very kind. While not hot, the empenadas were delicious. I highly recommend popping them in the oven when you get home or asking them to reheat them if you dine in. We will definitely be back. It's so refreshing to have a new place to eat here in Port. With the new influx of Tex Mex and overpriced "fine" dining, having an easy takeout spot with reasonably priced options is just what we need! I hope this town falls in love with this spot because we need something besides pizza, sushi, and mediocre pretend Mexican food! read more

Awesome Empanadas. The owner (Sarah) was extremely nice. Highly recommend this establishment.

Really good empanadas. Still haven't had them all but so far they are all great. The owner is very nice and trying hard to get her business up and running. I believe in supporting local businesses and this one is a great addition to Port. read more

Truly excellent empanadas- they are made fresh and can take a few minutes so if you're in a hurry, just call ahead and then pick up.
