    Matilda Empanadas are based in Providence, RI and can be found at farmer's markets, fairs, festivals, breweries, around Rhode Island, and all around The East Coast. I first saw Matilda Empanadas at SoWa Winter Festival in Boston, but didn't have a chance to try them then. When I saw Matilda Empanadas was coming back to the Providence Winter Farmers Market at Farm Fresh Rhode Island every Saturday for the month of November on their Instagram (@matildari), I knew I had to take the opportunity to try their heart-shaped empanadas. We found the Matilda Empanadas table inside and ordered 3 empanadas ($8.00 each). I had wanted fries too, but they were sold out. We got the Slow Roasta, Beefy Mac, and Cuban "Jamon y Queso" empanadas. The Slow Roasta has roasted black Angus beef with local herbs and Dominican spices, caramelized onion and trio-mushroom, sofrito braised black beans, roasted corn, roasted red pepper, cheddar cheese and a touch of dark chocolate. The Beefy Mac has roasted black Angus beef with local herbs and Dominican spices, macaroni with a house-made roasted garlic cheese sauce, and a touch of roasted red peppers. The Cuban "Jamon y Queso" has slow roasted pernil (pork) with local herbs and Dominican spices, roasted ham, Swiss Cheese, and a touch sweet relish. All the empanadas had a really nice crispy shell and you can tell the dough is made from scratch and homemade. The filling was also very good and flavorful. The spicy tomato aioli was so delicious and great sauce for the empanadas. After taxes, $25.92 does seem a little pricy for 3 empanadas but I know they were made with love. I do wish they were a little bigger but they did taste very good.

    I love this good truck! They recently catered an organization's May meet up and I ran to get a plate (or two). Their heart shaped empanadas are delicious! I loved the Cuban. I tried both the plantain chips with spicy mayo and the Dominican rice & beans. Everything was sooo good! The truck workers were efficient & kind. If you come across their food truck, I highly recommend you give them a try!

    Amazing empanadas and great customer service. I got the spinach one in their Boston Portuguese Festival and I would want to try new flavors. I thought the concept of heart shaped empanadas were too cute not to try and did not disappoint. It is in the pricy side of $9 each empanada and their fries are not good. But the spicy mayo sauce is to die for!

    Went to the food truck at PVDfest, not cheap but soooooo good! I had the Mrs Mac and could eat a million of them (except they were definitely pricey!). A fun treat yourself! Their secret ingredient really is love!

    The sweetest business owners with the cutest empanadas! Where else can you find heart shaped empanadas AND Vegan options?! I'm so thankful for this place. There's not an empanada I didn't like on their menu.

    Beefy mac is sooo good

    They take about 30 minutes to make so it's best to call your order in especially with all the covid 19 stuff going on.

    Delicious. I had a beef empanada and a chicken empanada. Both were quite tasty, not greasy at all…read moreand were accompanied by an extremely hot salsa which was very good, but very hot. Little goes a very long way. I also tried the chicharrone (which has yelp can't spell for me) and it was very interesting. Good. Very very crunchy- gave nice strong teeth and nice pork flavor. Also not greasy. Also tried the plantain- I am partial to the sweet ones. This was ok I just like 'em sweeter. I look forward to going back. Ladies behind counter were super. Colombian music playing so created atmosphere while we sat and ate. Lovely experience.

    This is such a hidden GEM whole in the wall! The best part is that this place is authentic…read moreColombian food. My friends always rave about it here and I'm so happy I discovered it. I don't speak much Spanish so used to get intimidated going into order but the food is just so good, it was worth every trip. Great news is that they just got an online ordering platform! You can order right online for pick up and bypass the long line out the door. The place is always busy but worth the wait, I would definitely suggest ordering online if you are in a rush. They don't have much parking but I always somehow find street parking. It's a very casual place with cafeteria style seating. I get the chicken with potato empanadas, beef empanadas, with their homemade hot sauce. They also have a ton of pastries. All homemade DELICIOUS!

    One of the best Dominican restaurants I've been too. There is a few in Boston that is good but this…read moreright here, I might have to say it's better lol on our way back from New York , we stopped by here for lunch. They have their own parking lot in the back. It's a hot bar but also a whole restaurant lol the interior is so nice that take out is a very hard option to do because you want to dine in lol For two large entrees and a large spaghetti, it came out to be $42. This also includes a drink! I got the stewed chicken, stewed goat, and spaghetti. If you never had Dominican spaghetti before, please do try! It's super flavorful, a little sweet, and a little salty. It's so good. Stewed chicken was good but not the best. What one lacks, the other compliments. The rice here is so moist and fluffy. Along with the sides they offer. I opted for macaroni salad. Highly recommended. The stewed goat was a little salty but that's up my alley lol I can see it being a little issue for some but I love salty food lol Very disappointed they didn't have oxtails though. It was only 2pm and they were out already. Overall, let's just say, I wish this place was closer to home!!
