I was so surprised to see such a wide variety of empanadas: crab, steak, chicken, shrimp, oxtail, chicharron & etc. It was really hard to choose from all the different filling options available but, I went with the crab and pico (7/10), churrasco (8/10), cheeseburger empanada (9/10), and mori sonando drink (10/10). I would definitely return to try one of the other food options I didn't get to try on this run. The owner took my order and was super friendly. She took her time explaining to me the different varieties of fillings and helped me look over the menu for other food options that weren't empanadas, like mofongo, bbq ribs, and pernil. The restaurant is small but, has available seating for those looking to dine in and has a welcoming ambiance. The Dominican music playing when I arrived was nice to hear and created a nice Carribbean feel to the establishment.

So I've been here enough times to still give this local gem five stars. They get five stars for the…read morefood, they get five stars for service, they get five stars for overall experience. If you want some fresh empanadas, and I mean fresh because all they use is fresh ingredients and that's what makes them a gem. I recently brought a crab empanadas, shrimp empanada, and some others. When you can find a place that gives you real crabmeat, not imitation at an affordable price because it is still an empanadas, that says alot about what they stand for. They also make everything on the spot. So you do have to wait for your order. They have their menu broken down by the kind of proteins you may want. They have a variety for you to choose from. I personally think you can't go wrong with so many options. There are a couple of high tables and a small area where if you want to dine inside. They made it look very elegant. I love this place, and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my empanadas. Two thumbs up still for me. If you love empanadas this place is a must! Happy Yelping!

The lady did ask very nicely if I wanted to wait for a fresh batch, but I declined. I ended up choosing the shredded chicken and the ham and cheese flavors. The ham and cheese was okay, but when I went to grab the chicken one, it broke apart instantly. When it opened, I saw what looked like a squished ball of chicken! it was soooo disappointing! It also looked really dry. I didn't even eat it. Two stars cause the lady was nice :)

This is college drinking food at its best. Almost everything is gorgeously deep fried and oily as…read morehell. The starches are excellent for absorbing alcohol. And at $3.25 or $3.50 for a large, well-filled empanada, it must be the best bang for your buck anywhere in Manhattan. I'm personally very partial to the berenjena y queso (eggplant and cheese) version, which has a lovely, creamy filling, and the pollo/queso/crema/maiz version, where all the components are in perfect balance. For more deep fried deliciousness, the bolas de yuca and caprichos are just as they should be: beautifully crisp and golden on the outside, creamy on the inside with generous amounts of filling. And of course, I still love the patacon and cachapas, but only when divested of the creamy orange goop on top. If you forget to ask for your food without sauce, everything comes drowned in an inedibly large volume of the stuff. Health food this is not. In fact, I feel like this food should be eaten on the buddy system only: Have someone on hand to call 911 for you in case it induces cardiac arrest. Off to detox with a kale-ginger-cucumber drink. I feel... a little......... faint.............

This was DoorDash, so keep this in mind. Delivery took FOREVER, so that could have affected the food. Also, I was working, so I was intermittently trying to stuff my mouth while completing documentation, meetings, and other tasks. I got several types of empanadas. Shredded chicken, cheese, shredded beef, pollo. My pollo mechado (chicken and cheese) and carne mechada/queso (shredded beef and cheese) were cancelled, as they were out of stock. I also got the club house pollo, which was disappointing, but that might have been affected by the fact it was delivered rather than consumed in-house. Made with grilled chicken, egg, bacon, cheese, ham, and accompanied by French fries, the sandwich fell flat for me. Pretty sure it would have been better hot and fresh, so I wouldn't deter anyone from trying it. But it could have used some seasoning. People rave about this Venezuelan place, so by all means try it . . . they have breakfast platters and sandwiches (mostly various combos of bacon, egg, cheese, ham), arepas, Venezuelan hotdogs. Other hot sandwiches like the Cubano and Philly cheese steak (but let's be honest--your corner bodega is better). Multiple types of burritos and other Venezuelan fast foods. Again . . . please try this place, especially in person. My food was delivered and took a long time, which again, isn't optimal. I'm not a fan of corn casings, which is a preference thing and a *redacted word that rhymes with bingo* thing, I am so embarrassed I can't make myself love corn tortillas and empanadas. And the mood was off, I was working. The empanadas, regardless taking so long, were delivered HOT! From what I read, the brick and mortar restaurant is clean, calm, and enjoyable, and they have a huge variety of Venezuelan dishes. Don't listen to me, and give it a try yourself, especially in person, not by delivery!
