    Chicken Empanada

    This is my go to lunch spot in the neighborhood! Food is always good and empanadas are stuffed with meat! Tried their burger and it was best decision ive made! Owners are amazing and super welcoming! Best empanadas in Long Island!

    TLDR; it's good, go now This is a place that's easy to pass. I used a GPS and passed it myself. It's a mistake to not come here. The empanadas are made quickly and they're fresh. The workers are kind and give you the vibe like you've been there every day which is comforting. There is a temptation to gatekeep this treasure but it's too good to hide. The Hawaiian is the best one imo but there's something for everyone. The sauces are great too. If you really like one in particular, get two of them because you'll want more even if you're full!

    Everything here is top notch. The food. The service. Even the music. There's games to play if you go with a group of people. Comfortable seating and even outdoor seating. The owner Fernando and his wife are great people and make all of the food that you order. It's absolutely delicious and I think the best empanadas I have ever tasted. I love empanadas and I always try them wherever they are offered and these are the best. I highly recommend. And give them a follow on Instagram because they don't really promote on there but should definitely start!! And they deserve the following.

    Came here at the recommendation of a friend and they are the best Empanada's I've ever had. I will be coming here again, often. The owner Fernando was super friendly as well!

    Doce Empanada is another place that I've had bookmarked for the longest time. I happen to be in the neighborhood and finally got a chance to drop in. Now that I know what I've been missing, I will drop in more often! Doce Empanada offers a variety of 12 different empanadas, handmade churros, and other sweets & beverages. (See my photo for current menu - prices have increased slightly, but not too bad). I was impressed with the spacious interior. Open & airy, clean & inviting. They even have boardgames on the tables. A game night with empanadas and cool music!?!? I ordered a variety of empanadas for takeout, and really appreciated that each empanada came in their own labeled wax paper envelope; keeping the empanadas crispy and easy to identify. These envelopes were then placed in a nice protection box. Quality ingredients with quality packaging! Here are the four empanadas I tried: Chicken, Beef, Spinach & Ricotta, and Sausage & Peppers. Honestly, I loved them all. They all had distinctive, tasty flavors. I actually would have preferred more bold flavors, but that's just my personal preference. The empanadas were on the small side but were fully stuffed with filling. Not bad at $2.65 each! Sauce: the sign states that you get your choice of 1 sauce per 3 empanadas but I actually got 1 sauce per 2 empanadas. (Yay!) Each additional sauce will be an extra 50¢ each. I automatically chose the green sauce without actually looking at the other option. I was surprised that their green sauce wasn't the usual mayo based sauce, but an herb & oil based sauce. It was delicious and reminded me of Chimichurri sauce! Yummm The other sauce was a pinkish mayo based sauce. Next time, I'll try that one also! But the empanadas were delicious with no sauce also! Customer service was friendly, welcoming and efficient! I look forward to a return visit to try the other empanadas and their handmade churros!

    Love this quaint and cozy spot. They have good food, welcoming service, awesome house music and games. Highly recommend the beef and spinach/ricotta empanadas!

    TAKE DOS Dare you to just take 2 of these delicious badboys because these are so addicting... At $2.65 a pop, they're great and satisfying. You can easily fill up on 3-4 of 'em. FLAVORS - Spinach & ricott' - my fave! Absolutely delicious - Veggie - Lovely. Flavorful - Beef - my friend said it was pretty good - Ham & Cheese - my friend said it wasn't bad Friendly owner, clean and spacious interior, nice bathroom, and even a cozy seating area outside. Take two! Recommended: Spinach, beef

    My husband and I had an awesome experience at Doce! Owners Erika and Fernando were so welcoming and made our first time here very memorable! The food was all delicious and the coffee gave me the caffeine jolt I needed. We tried: -the choripan (Argentinian sausage with chimichurri on a soft baguette) -beef empanada -shrimp empanada -bbq pork empanada -Taste of Heaven pastry (dulce de leche) Everything had so much incredible flavor and was prepared fresh to order. The chimichurri and pink sauces on the side added just the burst flavor needed to compliment the empanadas. The coffee was excellent, as well. We enjoyed everything so much we got 6 empanadas to go (they even give you directions on how to warm them up at home). Fernando and Erika are wonderful, and have created such a chill spot to relax and enjoy their good eats! Highly recommend Doce!

I've been coming here for about 7 years. I buy these Nata's by the dozen; for gift items or whenever I need a group dessert. They are a guaranteed hit every single time! I even bring several dozen everytime I visit relatives who live in MA! Current Prices (as of 5/2026): $2.25 per Nata $27 per Dozen There have recently been a slew of Macau-Style Portuguese Egg Tart places opening up all over Flushing, Queens. All of these new bakeries are Asian owned, and part of Asian bakery chains renowned from different parts of Asia. (You should see the lines at these bakeries in Flushing!). Very innovative, with unique flavored egg tarts (Ube, tiramisu, green tea, etc). But I think the plain, original Nata's from Bakers of All Nations is still the best. Alot of the new Macau-Style tarts are very good but I'm biased to Baker of All Nation's version. They never disappoint! They are always fresh and sometimes still warm from the oven!

    This spot is EVERYTHING. The second I walk in, I'm instantly transported back to Portugal the…read moresmell, the pastries, the whole vibe is straight up authentic. It hits that feeling of home every single time and never misses. I don't even care what my plans are, if I'm in New York City, I'm stopping here no question. The pastries are always fresh, flaky, and packed with flavor. Everything is so good. This isn't just a bakery, it's a MUST.

It was loaded with onions, but it was missing the umami flavor that would have made it taste robust. Perhaps an infusion of white truffle oil would have done the trick. I also ordered a Zeppole, which was dry inside. I did not like it. I like mine moist and recently baked. Mine tasted like it had been sitting on the counter for hours. Milton took my order, and he seemed friendly. The interior was reasonably clean, so I ate inside. I am so turned off by what I had that I might not give this place another try.

My cousin and I went inside and were greeted by a nice fellow behind the counter who patiently explained the difference between Grandma pizza and Sicilian pizza to her. The pizza looked really good. It was. The Grandma was very good, and crispy. The spinach pizza was so full of cheese and spinach, I couldn't even finish it, because I had already finished the other two slices... one of which was the best... an olive slice from a small pie that had a few whole (pitted) green olives and a little roasted red pepper on it. The slice had the distinct flavor of olive even when you weren't biting into one of the olives. LOVED IT. We say at a high-top table, enjoyed the atmosphere there and I had no complaints. Should I find myself back in the area looking for a decent pizza meal, this will be the spot.

I had to change plans quickly as I looked at the specials they had going on that day wow! We decided to go with the duck and the monkfish main course entrees instead. Life is about making the right choices and this was the best decision I made that day lol! The duck was cooked to perfection soft on the inside crispy on the outside wow! I really like how juicy and fatty the duck was very succulent and delicious yummy. I especially liked the wine sauce on top among taste sweet with a slight tart to it juts the right balance I was impressed. Definitely one of the best duck dishes I've ever had it's a special so I'm not sure if it will be available when you decide to go call ahead would be my suggestion and your best bet. Laslty the side with butter squash was also a delight to eat and treat! Second course was the monkfish which was great as well. It had a slightly Smokey flavor to my pallet and a slight crunch on the outside maybe it was torched or seared not sure. Whatever the case it was a great touch to the dish very tasty and juicy as well. I love the sauce and the sides were great mashed potatoes with broccoli yummy! I highly recommend this place for brunch, lunch, or dinner take your pick. They will not disappoint you at all that's for sure. I'm not sure how this place is in the evening as I've only gone during the day. I hope the chef gets to read this and know his work is appreciated and noticed! The staff and waiters are very accommodating and knowledgeable about the entrees and food in general. Great service and energy I will come again and repeat whenever possible. I liken the music they play in the background it's not too loud and always sets a great tone for the place. The windows bring in great light and the decor is tasteful and elegant gives a bistro vibe to me personally. You might think differently let us know anyway.
