Clean, friendly, great food. Empanadas were all tasty (we really liked the buffalo chicken and birria), and the mixed fajitas were great and a huge serving. read more

I ordered online and my order was ready for pick up on time plus it was still very hot! The empanadas themselves are seasoned perfectly! It might look a little small on the outside but inside the restaurant is bright and beautiful with room to sit down to eat. read more

Empanada King (Wyoming Pa) What's up FOOD-A-HOLICS! I am back here at The Empanada King here in Wyoming Pennsylvania. I am diving back into the two-empanada combo which comes with your choice which I picked the Philly steak and cheese which comes with fries. Now the fries are the pre-frozen, however they came out hot and fresh! Because I have reviewed this establishment before I am going to keep it simple. Come and check this place out, (now they have hot dogs, you can do some Hot Doggin' NEPA Style). Tell them you saw this video and want some great tasting empanadas. Until next video, be blessed and stay safe. October is breast cancer awareness month, support this cause by wearing the shirt, and the other for October. https://www.sgwentertainment.com/product-page/october-awareness-unisex-heavy-cotton-tee Watch our video on YouTube https://youtu.be/weDN2Fw2NZU read more

Empanada King - "THE BIG SIGN" - Empanadas Near Me - Wilkes-Barre Township, Pennsylvania

I went to the Scranton branch just now. The counter people were rude. The food took a long time to prepare. The Empanada was nearly TOTALLY empty. When I complained the staff at the counter just shrugged and did not even respond. Do not give this place your business. read more

First, I ordered ahead for takeout-from A TASTE OF MEXICO in the same building. arrived after time stated(25 mins) and still waited 20 mins for food to be ready. I ordered 3 entrees, all 3 were missing something, the Birria Quesadilla did not come with rice and beans on the side, the Burrito Jalisco, also no sides, it did have a tiny sour cream and tiny pico on the side. . the steak fajitas was the problem, there was a dish with meat and onions, but no tortillas were provided and no cheese, lettuce or tomato on the side. a seperate dish was provided with rice and beans in them. for the price of the meals - takeout left a lot to be desired. the taste of the food was fine. but half of it was missing. Warning to check your meals before you leave. read more

This place sells a shirt that says, "Best Empanadas in the World." Best in the world? No. Best in NEPA? No. Best in Wilkes-Barre? Maybe. I've noticed a trend with many places around here using empanada warmers. Sorry but when I want an empanada, I'd prefer that it be nice and hot. I don't care for it to be barely above room temperature. With that said, they are tasty empanadas just not hot empanadas. read more

My friend and I went here on a whim after having Icecream at Snack Shack :) Firstly, I loved the place's bright colors and the beautiful display of fruits. Wait time in the line was less than 2 minutes and overall wait time was less than 30 minutes. My order: Churroooo, Spinach & cheese empanada & strawberry lemonade. Loved all of them. My friend's order: Beef & cheese empanadas & cheese steak. Food was made-to-order and I loved how everything tasted fresh and yum. Churro was hot-hot from the fryer:) Price is reasonable as well. Only thing is the seating as it can get congested if many people are dining. So, recommend it for drive-through and takeout. I might try the banana Nutella empanada next time hehe. Looked so delicious. read more

We have been driving by Empanada King for a couple of years and finally stopped to give it a try. There are a few tables to sit at but it is more of a carryout kind of atmosphere. The staff was quick to take our order and prepare our empanadas to go. We tried buffalo chicken, cheese, spinach and ricotta, beef, and a corn patty. All were delicious! The empanadas themselves were the biggest we had seen and were stuffed with the ingredients. read more

I can't believe we waited so long to try these! They are soooooooo good! They are perfectly fried and not very greasy. They have a ton of fillings to choose from. We are addicted and have probably been there 4 times in the past 2 weeks! My fave are the beef and buffalo chicken. I still want to try the chorizo and guava. My fiancé really enjoys the beef and cheese, buffalo chicken and cheesesteak. Price are reasonable and empanadas are a good size--they are really filled too--none of the big air pockets you sometimes find in other empanadas. They are open into the wee hours of the morning on the weekends (and they deliver!) and open at 6 am for breakfast empanadas!! Eat in available. Parking is very limited. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Very good chicken cheese empanada & soft tacos. Be prepared for the slowest service. Order ahead. This was at the midway shopping center.

the empanadas have to much oil and they are too expensive . The services was okay but the juice they sell doesn't taste good . It's a good place its just the amount of oil they use read more

Stopped here for lunch one day while I was in the area for work. It's a nice, clean, restaurant with a few tables and chairs for dining in but most of the people who came in just got their food to go. The girl at the counter was friendly and helpful in explaining what everything we saw was. I ordered the chicken and cheese and my friend ordered the beef and cheese as well as the chicken and cheese. We also split a sorullo and cheese and both got the passion fruit juice. The empanadas were good, not the best I've ever had but they were good. My friend said he enjoyed the beef and cheese more than the chicken and cheese. We both thought the sorullo was ok and we both enjoyed the passion fruit juice. I may stop here again if I'm looking for a quick bite the next time I'm in town. read more

Empanada King - Foot long hot dog - Empanadas Near Me - Wilkes-Barre Township, Pennsylvania

Horrible customer service. Everyone I know that has ate here has always ended up with hair in their food. Truly need to learn to wear hair nets, clearly they don't make sure their hair is tied up. Plus they only serve to Hispanic's past closing time, which is very discriminatory in my opinion. I very much recommend a small deli on the corner of Coal st and N Grant st, they have better empanadas and other good foods, that don't have hair in them plus the service is fast. read more

I have loved this place for a while. The empanadas have always been good but the pink sauce feels like it's being watered down a bit which kind of sucks but overall I still love eating here! read more

Is the chicken and cheese and banana was delicious. The chorizo empanada should be renamed spiced minced hot dog empanada

We were looking for a change of pace and it turned out great. The empanadas were fried to perfection and finding quality churros this far north was a pleasant surprise. Doesn't look like this place has any business being this good from the outside but give it a chance and you won't regret it! read more

Stopped here while traveling because empanada's sounded good. Really glad we did. It's a small local place with fresh food made to order. Very authentic tasting to me. I am looking forward to stopping in here again. read more

Tasty meal, what a gem. Drove past this place late coming into town and decided to give it a try. We enjoyed the empanadas so much that we planned our trip home back through Wilkes Barre. Their empanadas are delicious, good sized, and priced right. Good friendly service. We've enjoyed everything that we've tried and will stop the next time we are in the area. read more

My wife and I stopped in to pick up empanadas on our way out of town. My bought a good variety. The cost was reasonable and they all tasted good.

We were traveling I80 highway and stumbled onto this gem of a carry out. Having never eaten here before we chose several different empanadas. What an interesting selection of empanadas! We had a beef and cheese, chorizo, spinach and cheese! They were all delicious! BUT my very favorite was the banana Nutella! Wow, it was wonderful! read more

Amazing! Went there during my trip to Pennsylvania trying to find empanadas and yaroas to feel like I was in DR, and I loved it! Went almost everyday. Good service, good food, convenient location. read more

Chorizo was amazing. So was the banana and Nutella. While the selection is smaller, these were WAY better than Empanada Mama in New York.

I had a chicken empanada and a spinach empanada from the Wyoming Valley Mall location today. The chicken with moist and tender and very flavorful. The spinach with nicely seasoned as well. These are the best empanadas I've ever had. The service at the Wyoming Valley Mall was timely and the person working the counter was very friendly and helpful. She deserves a raise. I will definitely be back for more. read more

best empanadas around!! We travel an hour and 30 just for this spot ITS THAT GOOD. Definitely stop in and give this place a shot it doesn't disappoint. read more

It seem to be the going trend for alot of these spanish restaurants that have open in wilkes barre to treat certain customer with bad service or no service at all. But I was willing to give this place a shot because a friend (who was not black) suggested it. I ordered 3 spanish and cheese empanadas and was told it would be only 20 minutes. 45 minutes later. After waiting for other customers that were spanish or white come in after me and order and get their food in a timely manner. I was about to be skipped again when I asked what was taken my order so long. That's when the server went to the back and got my food as if was being held for someone else to come in and order the same thing. The sad part a out this was the serve thought I was spanish at first but when I said I didnt speak spanish it was as if I offend him. I will never give this place my money again. Food was not all that ivr had better read more
