We found this place by chance - looking for something new. I ordered the pinchos mixto with chicken and pork and the tostones as a side. My companion had a chicken and cheese empanada and a beef empanada. I agree with other reviews that the food itself was not particularly flavorful but adding salt and the the Salsa de Ajo garlic sauce they brought to the table made it delicious! We will be back to try other empanada flavors! read more

After our terrible experience at another place our group decided to go to Mama's Empanadas pretty late at night. We got really good service from the moment we walked in the door. We got seated in the patio where we ordered a couple drinks and bites to share. We told the server it was my husband's birthday and they took the time to do a little celebration for him which we really appreciated. All the bites we got to share were delicious and hot fresh! Drinks are fairly priced and I just love their patio atmosphere. They have a DJ on the weekends and they play cool music! I will definitely be back to try the empanadas! read more

The regular beef and chicken empanadas are my go to with the little ketchup/mayo blend sauce. They're consistently crispy and fresh. I'm excited to try other items on the menu, everything looks pretty good. The waitress by the register is always so kind, she reminds me of an auntie who just loves me lol and the entire ambiance of the restaurant is lit, they have the lights and music like a night club. This is a nice lil restaurant to get some good food with the vibes. read more

Diamond in the rough. Stopped here before going back home to Savannah. What a pleasant surprise! Ambiance is great (this is also a lounge/dance spot at night), the empanadas are devine and there is so much variation. Try them all including the dessert ones. I tried the fried chicken but that wasn't very flavorful. Everything else was good. read more

This was a really spur of the moment stop, I just noticed the sign and decided to stop in! I got beef empanada and chicken empanada. Between the 2, I preferred the beef one. Their crust is delicious. Delicious. I honestly could eat just crust if I had to. I enjoyed them so much that I was done eating them before I remembered to try the sauce smh. Next time, I'll get a large order and make sure I at least taste the sauce WITH the empanadas! I'll definitely be back! read more

Mama' Empanadas - he inside of a restaurant - Dominican Near Me - Lilburn, Georgia

Food is good but don't even try to call in an order unless you want their music blasting through the phone while the lady keeps screaming HELLO?? HELLO?!?!? And then proceeds to hang up because they can't hear you. read more

I stopped in yesterday for a quick lunch. A Dominican (Caribbean) menu with much more than just empanadas. There are thirteen different empanadas for $3.00 each -Chicken,Cheese, Chicken and Cheese, Chicken, Cheese and Corn, Nutella and Cheese, Guana and Cheese, Bacon and Cheese, Ropa Vieja-shredded beef and vegetable, Eggplant and Cheese, Beef, Ham and Cheese, Spinach and Cheese, Vegetable and Cheese. There are 2 @ $3.50 Shrimp, Crab. Then they have a BIG empanada. This is about 9 inches long and has the filling the size of probably 5 of the smaller ones. It is $6.50. It has Chicken, Ham,Pepperoni, Beef, Cheese, Pimento, Onion, Lettuce, and Corn. I ordered this one. It was good. Lots inside-see photo. The outer dough could have been a bit better. I like the floury, yeasty more fluffy dough. The kind that is definitely hand made. This was thinner, more crispy, and I cant say if hand made or not. The contents were good and seemed fresh. read more

Great place to get some empanadas and other Dominican food. The price in comparison to other local Dominican restaurants is on the higher end, but the quality and staff are excellent (again, for a Dominican restaurant). You can tell the food is generally fresh and made to order. We live a bit from here, but make the drive to kill a craving. read more

This place gave me the worst food poisoning of my life. I was happy & healthy, hadn't eaten all day then decided I wanted to try this spot. Got lots of empanadas.. chicken, beef, etc. Then.... This restaurant got me so sick, worst food poisoning of my life. To the point I threw up bile & had to be hospitalized. I needed fluid & had to be monitored. Not sure if their stations aren't clean or if the products they use are old. Though, it's not worth it! Save yourself!! There's other empanadas near by!! You've been warned. read more

When I say THE BEST empanadas I've tasted this side of Gwinnett....TRUST! I normally stick to beef or chicken empanadas but went out on a limb for the shrimp empanadas and when I say, the flavor was freaking INSANE.....they did WELL.....has me going back whenever on that side of town. I don't think they've been open too long but this is TRULY a hidden gym off of Indian Trail....I give them NOTHING but RESPECT. I've always had to go orders and the love is SO awesome! W2G! read more

A Mama mia... With the quarantine being slowly lifted we can look forward to more "mom and pop" shops opening doors and special social spit guards holding back the Covid-19. I picked Mamas Empanadas as my local spot to patron and show support. I was excited, being of Hispanic decent my family didnt know that empanadas came in savory forms. The ones that usually partake in are filled with pumpkin, guava or pineapple. So today we had mamas chicken, chicken with corn and beef. Upside.. i showed my family an expansion on dish. And while the dough was super flaky and buttery the fillings were a little to be desired. Missing both simple salt and pepper. They were kind of bland. However the sauce that accompanied them had a sweet heat that was good. Maybe I was expecting more I the way I've had others. And they just didnt reach that bar, or maybe it's that they're getting back into the grove of things. I'll be back for a another round... #DamnTheCovid read more

Last time I was here it was a few months back with my family the worse customer service ever.It was done by this woman with blonde ‍ hair she got a attitude since the beginning poor customer service you named it.We use to come here every other Sunday and the service was good the staff always greet us with a smile, Very attentive to our needs but all that change when they put this lady as a waitress.You have loss a loyal customer and in my opinion she need to be in the back either cooking or washing dishes because she don't know how to deal with customers and believe me you're gonna lose business if you keep her as a waitress. That is the reason why are you getting a two star. La ultimate vez que estuve en este establecimiento fue pa'l de mese atras con mi familia y debo decir que fue el Peor servicio al cliente que hemos tenido.Fue causado por una mesera con el pelo pintado de rubio, desde el pricipio tenia una actitud,el servicio al cliente fue pobre ni bebidas nos ofreció se podran imaginar.Nosotros frecuentabamos este sitio uno que otro Domingo (ósea heramos regulares) y cuando veníamos el servicio al cliente era muy bueno siempre nos atendian con una sonrisa eran muy atentos a nuestras necesidades pero todo eso cambió cuando emplearon o moviero de posicion a esta mujer del pelo pintado de rubio.Perdiero un buen cliente y en mi opinion ella deberia estar en la parte de atras Cocinando o lavando trastes , ( entendemos que todo el mundo necesita un trabajo)por que claramente ella no sabe atender a los clientes. Esta es la razon por la cual le doy 2 estrellas. read more

These are the best empanadas I've had in the area for sure. I got the shrimp empanada and he chicken, corn and cheese empanada. Both were absolutely delicious. The sauces were amazing as well! I also had a mango con leche- so refreshing. There's a really great outdoor seating area that was fun and family friendly. I will definitely be back! I need to try every type of empanada now! read more

No one wearing masks. Kids running around. The empanadas were big but so-so and we order. Wide cart of them. read more

The restaurant is clean and welcoming. I stopped in hoping to get a quick lunch reminiscent of my childhood days in DR. I was not disappointed. The empanadas (I had the chicken and cheese) are a good size, and stuffed well. The croquetas were also delicious. They have a variety of tropical juices as well. I will definitely come back! read more

My new go to for empanadas. Came in to order pick up due to vivid-19. Got chicken empanada as well as chicken and cheese. Both great choice! Crunchy on the outside. Love it! Just wished they put the sauce to go in bigger containers and a bit more sauce. Sauce was really good as well. Guess next time I'll ask for more sauce. Friendly service. Has hand sanitizer at the counter when you check out as well. Only took 5-10 min to make the empanadas. Wish I could have taken some pics before I ate it read more

I am a regular here and I love the food especially the fried plantains instead of fries. Great place to eat or take out.

First time customer. Very fresh product, tasty and good. Friendly staff. Will work my way through the menu. Prices seem not the same as in pictures or yelp menu; may need a refresh. read more

Empanadas are delicious here! The best I have had. They are fast service also. I have been here 2 days in a row and can't get enough
