This food truck was at my apartment complex last night and I always try to support the food trucks that are here. Last night I preordered a meal via streetfoodfinder.com. I set the pickup time as 5:00. It was not ready when I walked up at a few minutes to 5, as they said the order just came through. It did take only a few minutes. I had a shredded chicken empanada ($9), a side of rice and beans ($6), and an extra of both sauces at $1.00 each. I spent about $22 with tip. While waiting, I saw on their sidewalk board signs there is a combo of just what I ordered for $9. What? I didn't ask but will in the future. Maybe it is a smaller portion? I looked at their menu on streetfinder again and there is a combo listed for $15, which is one empanada with a sauce and 2 sides. I would order the combo if there is a next time. Both items tasted really good. I did think the spicy cilantro sauce was too spicy for my taste. I don't normally like spicy stuff, but sometimes I can handle it fine. The other, sweeter sauce called Salsa Rosa was good. read more

Empanadas and More - Shredded chicken empanada with rice & beans - Empanadas Near Me

Empanadas had a very strange taste. Nasty!!! Filling is not that much especially for the expensive price. The rice was blah not really any authentic flavoring. A waste of my $$$$ Sadly hard to find good yellow puertorican rice here in Columbus. read more

Ordered an empanada and it tasted horrible. You could tell the oil they had used to fry the empanada was very old and stake and it left a horrible aftertaste on the entire thing. Completely inedible. Wish I had the read the reviews first. I wouldn't have even bothered. read more

Empanadas were fried which was a plus. Not a lot of meat for the price. Rice seemed to be an afterthought . The empanadas I'm used to have a more doughy texture. The casing reminded me of a fried wonton. Not what I expected and was really in the mood for a more familiar empanada. The menu is a little confusing as well. Seeing the truck got me excited. I'm glad I tried it once. read more

I don't know where to begin. I ordered the cheeseburger empanada and my girl order the chicken fajita. Mine was a HUGE thing of grease. Grease was pouring out. It was gross. Please don't come here. Nothing was edible. Hers didn't look like the picture and had mostly air and cheese. Terrible experience. We threw everything away after one bite. Didn't even care for the refund.we just wanted to leave ​​ read more

I am very dissatisfied with my purchase from empanada and more food truck. The first thing I noticed when opening my box of food was that they were very stingy with the French fries. I received a very small amount of what looked like crumbs, for the price. They were also very stingy with the sauce, filling it up only half way for all of the orders. After spending $70, I am very disappointed and will never go back. The plantains were actually quite delicious and they served a decent amount of them but everything else is not worth the money. read more

The owner charges taxes on their food, which they don't have to pay in Ohio. He is just stealing 7.5% extra from his customers. He claims it is a tax on their "containers". What a crook. read more

Food is not as described on their menu. For the food, 1 star. The menu describes the empanadas as having the meat, minced garlic, and herbs inside. What I actually got was one empanada and one open empanada both of which only had meat, nothing else. The rice and beans were were also cold and clumpy. For service, also 1 star. My order was placed and accepted 40 minutes ahead of time and was still more than 10 minutes late being ready despite no other customers even being around the truck. Definitely not worth $18 read more

Empanadas and More - 1 empanada, one open non-closed empanada, rice and beans - Empanadas Near Me

Rice was dry and unflavored, the Cheesesteak Empanada had a weird after taste and low on filling (3 pieces of small steak and one pepper) ingredients. This all left me to only eating a few bites (especially due to the weird taste) and disposing of roughly 80% of the remainder of the meal.​ The highlight was fries, but not the main dish. I truly wish it would have been better. read more

I should have came here first instead of street food finder. I have been wanting to try this food truck for quite some time, when I finally did yesterday evening, I was very excited to only be disappointed, let's get to the food. Ultimate Combo The chicken empanada was not the star dish, the chicken was overcooked and extremely salty, the rice and peas had a good texture, perfectly seasoned , yet sort of dry. The salad was just that, a salad, nothing fancy, and it was close to being a day old, with a lot of brown edges. My recommendation: The should have put more thought into, add some color, cilantro avocado, sliced tomatoes, would have been great. Lastly, the plantains were the best :) absolutely no complaints, caramelize and tasted perfectly . I had high hopes for the empanadas sucks they were horrible. read more

Absolutely Terrible: After having empanadas in Puerto Rico I was excited to see this at the food truck rally in Detroit today. What a disappointment. Thought I ordered 2 orders of the single combo +extra empanada (which is a dumb name to begin with, just call it a double empanada) charged $24. Now mind you there are no prices on there menu and they weren't accepting the coupons that they had a sign in the window of the truck saying they were accepting. Received order and said we're missing an order and the girl said oh ok we will make it right away. She then gives me an order of plantains. I asked where the other order was and she says that's it. An Empanada and plantains costs $12.00 and an extra empanada costs $9.00. $9.00 for an empanada? Are you kidding me? Told her to forget it. The Chorizo empanada was awful. It was completely green inside and so salty it was inedible. Looked like it was all sofrito and no chorizo. Service and food awful. They were out of beef empanadas 2 hours into the event. Way overpriced. read more

Absolutely disgusting... empanadas filled with practically no meat, and apparently several ounces of salt. Salt was the only flavor. Rice was mushy, and drastically overpriced even if it was good. read more

Just left this place empty handed. My husband and I tried to get dinner tonight from this place and the guy at the counter was too busy flirting with the girls in front of us to acknowledge that we were in line. I guess it's not a huge surprise given there wasn't a line. In a nutshell, don't waste your time. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this place. Could just be me, but when I see this food truck again, I'm gettin it fo sho. I asked the girl working the truck, what's their most popular Empanada? She advised it was the Cheeseburger Empanada, so that's what I got. I liked it and want some mo. The empanadas are 7 inches long for reference. I didn't have a ruler to measure, so I took their word for it. I got the Sweet Plantains as my side and wanted some mo of that as well. Ask for an extra side of their Spicy Cilantro sauce, made a rookie mistake and only got one. Food came out relatively quick, but I was the only one there. See you shortly Empanada & More. read more

I'll open with the fact that I enjoyed the food. Had the chorizo empanada and it was light and fluffy with a good spice. It was conveniently located outside the new Olentangy River Brewing company. The owner was really nice and friendly, came in to see how we liked it. The fries were over seasoned and the price point was a little high for the amount of food you get. read more

Authentic Puerto Rican food. I really liked the empanada & rice, but the green sauce made it GREAT! Great service. Great food.

Requested a refund due to poor service and food. Never received it! No bueno!! No good customer service either. Disappointment after driving more than 30 minutes to locate your food truck... read more

First time trying this at my job. Perhaps they were having an off couple of hours because this was not very tasty or flavorful at all. Some of the driest bean and rice I have ever had and the empananda was greasy and bland. It's unfortunate that you only have one time to make a good first impression because this was horrid. Will not be recommending to my family and friends. read more

Love the food from this food truck. Moving from Texas I haven't been impressed by the quality of food here in Columbus (sorry if that offends anyone), especially the Latin or Mexican food. But I can't say I haven't been impressed by the food from Empanadas and More. Every empanadas I've tried (and I've tried most of the 10 or so) have been great. Add some of the spicy cilantro and special red sauce and BAM it's fantastic! I know most of the reviews on here are regarding the cost but I don't mind paying for quality food. I mean, we not ordering at the McDonald's drive thru window for goodness sakes. I've seen the owner freshly preparing food for customers himself on multiple occasions and that goes a long way into showing the effort that goes into their food and making sure their customers are satisfied. Just try the empanadas yourself and hopefully you'll see that you're paying for quality food and enjoy it as much as I do. read more

Terrible. The flavor was like burnt plastic from the grease. Beside the meat was very salty. I hate to waist the money in bad food.

It was a $6 meal (at best) for $15 dollars. Gave us (& charged us) for an extra empanada, got the ground beef one (was supposed to have cheese but didn't) and chicken one. When eating the chicken one, had to get 3/4 of the wat through it before you got any cheese. The rice & beans was less than a hand full as a serving & there were exactly 2 beans in it. The pinkish sauce was good, the rest was extremely disappointing. read more

I am disappointed this food truck took my order at least an hour in advance, texted the order was running 30 minutes behind, texted me the order was ready, but when I went to the truck was notified order still wasn't ready. Waited another 20 minutes by the truck, was then called over and told my order was canceled because they ran out of food. It was 7:15 and I had no dinner for me or my kids. This is unacceptable. I was given the excuse they only were notified of this location that afternoon. However, they took walk up orders knowing there were pre-orders (fully paid) but left the customers using the StreetFoodFinder app high and dry. read more

Their food is good. No complaints there. In the past year or so, the cost of three empanadas has gone from $12 to $14...I begrudgingly accepted that increase because I enjoyed their product. But now @ $6 each, $18 for three, that's just an absolute insult to your customers. read more

This food truck was in our neighborhood tonight. I almost didn't order based on the other reviews. That would have been a huge mistake. Their empanadas are good and good sized. The spicy cilantro sauce is fantastic. I would put it on anything. I had the chicken empanada and the chorizo empanada. Chicken was OK. It really benefited from the cilantro sauce. The chorizo was really good and spicy. I would definitely order that one again next time. read more

This food truck is the absolutely best all around from customer service to having food made fresh with the heart and love that emanates from being Puerto Rican Is there a chance you may have to wait, yeah but good things come to those who wait right? We ordered 4 different empanadas, Maduro and tastings along with the cilantro sauce (the best I've ever had) and each item was packed with flavor and spice that represents the cuisine of the culture. CHECK OUT THIS GLORIOUS FOOD TRUCK read more

Took a trip out for lunch and this truck caught my eye. The food I had was great. The cheesesteak empanada was the clear winner for me. It was nice and crispy on the outside. without being greasy. The yellow rice and beans for a side were nice and light to balance put the empanadas. The pink sauce and cilantro sauce were both great additions. Dude behind the counter was great and got the food out quick. I'm definitely hitting this place up next time it's near me. read more

Was very excited to find a place/truck that actually sold Puerto Rican food. The empanadas and maduros were amazing! The best we've had thus far in Columbus. Highly recommend trying them out. Guaranteed they will not disappoint. read more

I finally got to try this food truck. What to say... It was amazing! The owner is Puerto Rican and explained everything I asked. I read the reviews and expected it to be expensive and nasty. I just needed a Spanish fix of food and it truly hit the spot. We already booked them to cater for us. Still on cloud 9 with the food the reviews are clearly misleading. read more

I'd actually picked up O'Charleys to go, and had just finished dropping off dinner for my mom & heading home when I noticed the "Empanadas and More" food truck in her community. Obviously I had to investigate, because EMPANADAS! I'm so glad I did. The truck was clean, the owner, Will, was so personable, but most importantly the food is BEYOND DELICIOUS. I got the shredded chicken empanada with sweet plantains, and OMG...so good! And the sauces were crazy flavorful. I'll be honest, I stuck my finger in the cup to get the last drop; it was that good. Sorry, O'Charleys lol. Do urself a favor and find this truck! read more

If you're looking for empanadas this is the place for it! From time to time Will, owner, will surprise with off menu items that surprise and delight. In sum, great food great prices. Go check it out! read more

The quality of the food is good, but this food truck has had multiple price increases to the point to where it isn't worth it. At the time of this review, $6 for one taco-sized empanada! One is not enough for a meal so you're looking at a $12 lunch for less food than you'll get anywhere else for the same price. read more

Slow service. Extremely rude. There was a truck right next to this one that was serving people much faster. When I ordered only a drink after waiting over 30 minutes in line, I was told I'd have to wait to be handed my bottled coke. Then when I reminded the guy I had not ordered food, he literally swore at me. Never going here again. read more

Food from a food truck has to be fast. You shouldn't have to wait 30 minutes or more. And if you do (which you shouldn't) the food better be hot. In short, awful, overpriced, don't waste your money. read more

Awesome! Food price was good and couldn't say anything bad about the customer service.
