This was a late night trip, the service was decent, it was sort of crowded but it was hard to determine who was the waitress to place a food order. The DJ was good, the $20 a person coverage charge was a bit much I would say so that would weigh into me visiting again for the restaurant portion. The Drinks were very strong, hookah was decent, and the food was absolutely delicious! The catfish was the fresh I have ever had, the collard greens were AMAZING!!!, the yams were good as well. I also tried the jerk chicken empanada which was good, but the sweet plantain would over power the flavor a bit making it too sweet sometimes. Inside is rather small so I would choose wisely the timing of your arrival and how many people you bring with you. All and all I would come back for that catfish anytime!!! read more

Didn't event get a chance to document the empanada as it was THAT GOOD. Grabbed the beef and cheese and it was heavenly. One of the best I've ever had. Perfect amount of filling, with a good outside crisp. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors out. They all sounded amazing! read more

The Empanada was packed with meat so u got a good quantity for the price! I plan on trying the rest of her menu and following her truck around the city! Absolutely delicious!!!! read more

Food is hands down 5 Star..!! One of the best Empanadas I have had, and definitely want to try again. Perfect texture and taste. Unfortunately, there was a mix-up with their Menu options. They had displayed "Highline infused Shrimp and Crab Empanada," i.e., edible infused, and most of our group were ordering that option without any idea what it was. And the lady taking our orders was surprised we were ordering it - they weren't aware that it was on their Menu. Obviously, they had used an old Menu, probably from a different event where they showcased Highline Products. This isn't a small mistake to make, especially when your Food Truck is in a Family environment. We canceled our Highline infused orders and ordered regular ones, but one of our group members received an infused one by mistake and zoned out for a few minutes. Luckily, nothing major happened, but it could've been much worse. Hope they are more careful in the future with their Menu read more

Had one of the most amazing empanadas in my life. Was playing an event on Grove St in Jersey City & had their Oxtail empanada before our set. Incredible! The biggest crime is that I didn't go back for another. Being Married to a Jamaican Woman, at this point I recognize true and good oxtail, & this was it! I'm willing to travel for this level of goodness. read more

Lady G Empanadas - Mac&Cheese empanada.... perfect. delicious. Perfectly crispy outside... creamy and tasty inside. I'm hooked! - Empanadas Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Lady G had their food truck at the All About Us Festival on Juneteenth at Liberty State Park. If you saw how long their line was, you would understand. The oxtail dinner empanada with oxtail, collard greens, and rice was by far the best empanada I've ever tasted. The combination of all 3 elements and how seasoned and savory it was made you savor every bite. At $16 it was well worth the price. And yes, they're as crispy on the outside as they look. The Mac n cheese wasn't overly cheesy, which I was fine with as it was flavorful. If you're in Jersey City and want a soulful empanada, look no further than Lady G! read more

I have chased this business down every since I had one of their Oxtail and Collard Greens Empanadas! I love this spot. Coming all the way from Harlem and navigating the JC food scene while Black can be a mess. But this is solid. Everyone is happy and really working hard to make this a success. I'm a huge fan of the Curry Chicken and of course Oxtail options. It's rewarding to support a business that has a blessing of positivity and really delicious food nowadays. Check out their full time location on Ocean Ave. I love this spot! read more

I hear Lady G has a new spot open now. I've never been there but I have had her empanadas from her truck at different events around Jersey City. The service was really nice and accommodating. The empanadas are great. My favorite is the shrimp and crab. It has a great buttery flavor and seasoned to perfection. It's very healthy and worth the price. It's really juicy so get plenty of napkins and watch out for your clothes. Don't worry it's so worth it. You will enjoy it. read more

Excellent Caribbean style empanadas! I've only had the jerk chicken, but I'll go back for more. read more

Lady G Empanadas - Shrimp and crab - Empanadas Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

They came to Downtown Jersey city street fair and it was one of the busiest food kiosks for a reason. Delicious, flavorful empanadas with a lot of options. I was surprised to see vegan options as well. Couldn't try their popular jerk chicken/ shrimp empanadas but bought Buffalo chicken along with teriyaki chicken. They were freshly made and so appetizing. Also recommend trying bang bang sauce and the oxtail dinner sauce. I am a fan now and if I happen to come across their food truck again I will not hesitate to try more empanadas! read more

There Cheesy Mac & cheese empanada even though it is a weird combination some how it's really good the dough of the empanada is really seasoned well and their cheesy Mac inside the empanada has the perfect amount of flavor, cheese, and creaminess. And the service people are so nice even though I didn't know what to order one of them had time to spare and recommend me a lot stuff even though they were really busy. 5 stars read more

Saw the Lady G's food truck on Ocean Ave today and decided to stop and try one of their empanada. Well, I regret stopping. I was the only person there and I order one beef empanada. 20 mins later I'm still waiting for my ONE beef empanada with no apologies. The beef empanada was 6 dollars if you pay with cash which I did, but the cashier gave 13 dollars back. Went I question the cashier about it he asked if I want the dollar back. As for the empanada itself it was not, bad but not worth $6. I worked the service industry and I can tell you first hand one can have great food but if your service is lousy you will have less return customers. read more

Lady G set up a tent in my neighborhood for our weekly food truck night and a ran to Yelp to give them a review! The empanadas were so tasty and I loved the texture of them. I ordered a sausage, steak, vegan spinach, and jerk chicken. They were all great but the jerk chicken was my absolute favorite! Such a balanced bite! I would totally order from them again! read more

Lady G Empanadas came to our Leonia Day. What DELICIOUS empanadas! Something for vegetarians + vegans too! I had the spinach, feta and mozzarella empanada + it was mouth watering. The servers are friendly and kept their cool because the lines were long. Hope they come back to our next event = Gay Pride Festival. read more

We used Lady G for our baby shower and everyone was RAVING about the food. She's super professional and worked with us to create a menu that meet our needs. We ordered empanadas and a veggie pasta that was a hit. I will definitely use Lady G again in the future and highly recommend her! read more

Had the jerk chicken empanada today and they were BOMBBBB. Can't wait to eat them again. Thanks ladies for the magic!

Had these wonderful women at our company luncheon today, they (and their food) were fantastic! Fried shrimp and chicken along with a huge variety of empanadas, all great. Hope we have them back soon! read more

The food at Empanads by Lady G is outstandingly tasty. The food is fresh not frozen and the portions were generous. The spinch and feta is off the chain. The shrimp was not a bag of micro shrimp you get in fried rice. It was shrimp you can sink your teeth into with a strategic blend of seasoning that will have your taste bud in a state of bliss. Ohhh the sauce will take you to the French Quarters in New Orleans. So I say all that to say dammmmn this food is good. Damn Good. This is a call and pick up or delivery Spot. read more

Yum Yum Yum!!! Lady G sells the best empanada's I've tasted. Its hard to name a favorite but I have a huge sweet tooth- so I'm going to say the Blueberries & Cream is my #1. Her crab cakes are also delicious....hardly any breading- only jumbo lump crab meat with an awesome tangy sriracha sauce!! read more

My first time and a coincidental one too. It was amazing!!! Prepared with care and love! She loves what she does and you can tell. Very bright woman with energy and intelligence, the food prep is awesome! Highly recommend from the food on down to the interaction. One of a kind! What made it coincidental was the fact that I was looking for food and noticed that it's opened only on Friday&Saturday. Called on the right day and time! Thank YOU! VERY tasty read more
