    Came into town to get something quick to eat when we noticed the baked empanada sign! Decided to give it a try and figured it's a perfect grab & go. As soon as you walk in you'll notice the different empanada display, we ended up getting a chicken empanada, cheese and a beef empanada. I was a little nervous in trying the chicken empanada from past experiences these can be a little dry when baked. But I am happy to say this empanada was just perfect! ! All three were really good and fresh. Would definitely come back here!

    The empanadas are amazing! Quick and attentive service, he explained the flavors and how to tell them apart. Offered to heat it in shop or gave directions for how to do it at home. Definitely a great add to Boonton Main Street!

    Great food, delicious and priced accordingly for the packed empanadas. The vibe is cute and the place is super clean too wonderful stop in on the Main Street walk. Service has been great each visit friendly and attentive

    PP - Pulled Pork Empanadas and CB - Cuban Empanadas

    Nice place. Spinach and pulled pork empanadas were great. Not a fan of the veggie empanada. Agree with other reviews, looks like canned or frozen veggies. Cuban empanada was good. It's baked instead of fried so definitely healthier. Empanadas are filled to the brim.

    Sazon Latino, located on Main Street in Boonton just a few steps from the NJ Transit station, is…read moredefinitely a hidden gem. It's a very casual, cafeteria-style spot with a semi-open kitchen, but don't let the simplicity fool you -- the food is incredible and the staff here is friendly and patient. The highlight of the experience is the small buffet that features a variety of freshly-made Latin cuisine -- including pulled pork, chicken and beef stews, and other traditional Latin entrees and sides. You can build your own plate by selecting one or more entrees and sides - which are priced accordingly. As a 'gringo' who wasn't entirely sure what everything was, I really appreciated them taking the extra time to explain all the different options and give me their honest recommendations. The counterstaff is bilingual and were pretty patient with my elementary school level Spanish vocabulary and grammar. I ended up going with the pulled pork platter with two sides ($7) and it was terrific -- the perfectly seasoned and tender pork, black beans and rice, and macaroni salad were delicious and very filling. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and the portions are very generous for the price. If you're looking for authentic, home-style Latino food in a laid-back setting, this is the spot! PRO TIP #1: Bring a bottle of wine or beer from home to enjoy with your meal. Sazon Latino is a BYOB establishment and does not serve alcohol. PRO TIP #2: Sazon Latino offers free off-street parking in a small lot behind the restaurant and there's plenty of free on-street parking on Main Street.

With about 150 people expected, this was a big event and we wanted the food to feel just right. Unfortunately, our go-to caterer was out of town, so we reached out to Empanada Times--and we are so glad we did. Madeline, whose mom was actually our neighbor growing up, welcomed us with a full catering menu. Even though her restaurant is all the way in New Jersey and we're in New York, we knew it would be worth it. We ordered pernil, arroz con gandules (party rice), chicharrón de pollo, and Madeline's famous potato salad. Let me tell you--we were not disappointed. We had to sneak a taste before serving, and from the first bite, we were transported right back to Puerto Rico. The chicharrón de pollo was everything we hoped for--crispy, boneless, seasoned perfectly, and even better with a squeeze of lime and a cold Medalla beer. The rice was rich, flavorful, and reminded us of Doña María's classic Puerto Rican cooking. The pernil? Juicy, tender, perfectly seasoned. And the potato salad--flavorful, creamy, and just delicious. We had leftovers for days and didn't mind one bit! My sister, who's a teacher, even brought containers to share with her coworkers, and I brought plenty home for my husband. He's very picky about food and who cooks it--but this time? He dove right in without hesitation, and didn't have one negative thing to say (and trust me, he would have!). We're already looking forward to visiting Madeline's restaurant in NJ--or maybe catching a food truck somewhere soon. Thank you, Empanada Times, for helping us honor our father with the flavors of home.

One can stuff them with any number of things. On this Nochebuena (Christmas Eve), while in the neighborhood of Totowa, my partner and I decided to pay a visit to this establishment for takeout as first-timers. Opened 6 years ago, Mama Ana's Empanadas is a family-owned restaurant specializing in empanadas located off of Union Blvd. Greeted by the staff upon arrival, the interior vibe was not only festive but cozy and casual with seating for 20 patrons. From the menu, one can choose up to 18 different kinds of empanadas, from classic beef or chicken to cheesesteak and Cuban; either have them baked or fried. They also offer Latin" bowls, salads, and sandwiches. We decided on the cheesesteak empanada and broccoli & cheese empanada, as well as the Chicharrones de Cerdo bowl, accompanied by rice and beans with a side of maduros (sweet plantain). The cheesesteak was tasty. The broccoli came with mozzarella, which was salty. The cheddar would have been better. The empanada dough was hot, flaky, and huge. Chicharrones de cerdo bowl was served piping hot and hit the spot. The pork wasn't hard but had great flavor and chew. The price was reasonable due to its size and portion. The service was slow, but we know the food was made fresh. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Ada and Yame. We can recommend this place.
