Cute authentic Argentine place in Nutley! Had empanadas and chorizo as afternoon snack…read more All types we chose were delicious (sweet beef, spicy beef and spicy chorizo). Mariano at the counter was super helpful, even numbered our empanadas so we knew what we were eating. The grilled chorizo was very tasty. Chimichori sauce Soo good, that we grabbed some on way out. They have a full menu, with grilled meats which we will try later. BYOB but they also have wine to sell as well. Support your small businesses!

What a great addition to the Neighborhood ! Argentina is my top 5 countries i have visited …read more Argentine are to meat what Picasso was to paint ! Masters of Meat . We ordered 5 different flavors of empanadas : Sweet beef ( traditional ) , spanish & cheese , Vegetarian , Caprese . We agreed all equally delicious 5/5 . We ordered to go , so i couldn't get the full in dining experience and had to rate on a curve . They will be hosting World Cup Watch and i will be there for sure !! . They do sell wine bottles if you forgot to BYOB , albeit at steep prices with premade sangrias . The dining area is small but make great use of space with seating . I went during lunch time 11:45 am , they could use more help . Only two one at cashier , taking orders one manning oven . I'd order ahead of time for pick ups . In all fairness they were open only 2 months .

My aunts and I were super hungry one afternoon and we stopped in. It was my first time and probably…read moretheir 50th since they live close to the restaurant. The restaurant was clean and I was surprised it wasn't jammed packed! We were greeted and asked for a few minutes to browse all of the different kinds of empanadas! There were so many from chicken filled to Philly cheesesteak and fruit filled empanadas! I picked a beef one and a Philly cheesesteak it came with a sauce to put on top. IT WAS DELICIOUS! I could eat 10 in a row! I will definitely be back! I just hate that parking is so bad in that area.

Empanada or Nada is an interesting name. There is a little bit of both…read more My wife has been talking about this place for a while now and we were walking we decided to stop in. I know some people judge a place based on the traffic inside. Something was lacking, though, when we walked in. It felt empty to say the least. They had a limited selection on an early Sunday, which was surprising. I really wanted to try the pizza and the Philly cheesesteak but they were out. We sampled the Cuban, Buffalo chicken, Chicken bacon ranch, and plain beef paired with a spicy mayo sauce. The empanadas were tasty, but nothing amazing. We enjoyed the Cuban the most. My other gripe is that there are no sides, fries, plantains, rice. Nothing. They took their name too literally. If they add sides in the future, I'll be more willing to visit again.

Crispy outside, hot gooey inside, savory flavors round out the trifecta of these empanadas…read more If the charm of the servers don't get you, it may be the welcoming decor that invites you to sit for a bit while enjoying your new selection of crispy pastry. Speaking of selections, the Buffalo chicken with gargonzola as well as cheesesteak offerings give you reason alone to comeback and try out new flavors. They also help with suggestions for food allergies. The spinach and cheese epanada checked all the boxes and left a lingering impression that will have us back.

It had been a few years since I'd first been here at Empanada Lady. I thought the empanadas were…read moregood then, and they still are! This is a cozy place right off of Bloomfield Avenue in Verona. There's a parking lot in front and plenty of seating inside. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken with Gorgonzola cheese empanada. The empanada has a great crispness and is stuffed inside with great flavors. Dipped in the sauce, it was outstanding. They have their own bottles of iced tea here which was very good. The woman running the front was very friendly. Fun stop for lunch!

I recommend the Oxtail , Shrimp and Salmon the best I have EVER tasted . Her store is clean , inviting vibe and the product quality is consistent.

While I didn't get a chance to see the actual establishment since I ordered through Uber Eats, I'm…read morenot sure that would have changed my judgment much. I ordered the oxtail empanada and the honey jerk empanada with a strawberry lemonade. My sister ordered the honey jerk empanada as well, along with the garlic shrimp empanada and a strawberry mint lemonade. First, the drinks were absolutely delicious. My strawberry lemonade was refreshing, and my sister enjoyed hers as well, although she mentioned she didn't really taste the mint. The empanadas were definitely stuffed, so I can say they were worth the price in terms of portion. My sister enjoyed her garlic shrimp empanada. However, we both agreed that the honey jerk empanada was very disappointing. It wasn't flavorful or what we expected from jerk seasoning--it was simply very spicy. The kind of spicy that becomes uncomfortable and hard to finish. My mouth was so hot that I couldn't really enjoy it. I then tried my oxtail empanada, and while it was better than the honey jerk, it didn't really taste like authentic oxtail to me. If I were to try them again, I would probably order different flavors and would like to stop by the restaurant in person to get the full experience. I don't plan to visit again anytime soon, but it's not completely off my list yet. I do believe in second chances.

I told you multiple times." It's 4:50. You close at 5. I'm here with two toddlers. I don't care how good or bad anything else about your restaurant is. You treat me like this AND you're the owner?

What I liked the most is that she kept them nice and steamy, even though it was a pop-up at the Bloody Mary Fest that I attended with a friend. The service was quick and immediate. Of course, because it's a pop-up event, the ambience is whatever, depending on the festival she's at. Usually she's set up at a food or drink spot, I believe.

The meat is perfect and I get that they wanna keep the natural flavors of the meats which is great but they just need a literal tinsy bit of salt. Service is nice but I can't speak for ambiance due to not dining in. For some reason I don't get full off these tacos like when I go to Los tacos in New York. (Try Los tacos!!) Okay the tip review was from 2025 I have been here about 7 times. The tacos taste a bit better but them tortillas man! They need better tortillas the texture of meat is good and you want your food to stay together while you eat it.

The pastry is PERFECTLY flaky and crisp, a perfect size, and packed to the absolute brim with filling! Based on the other reviews I'll def have to come back and try the beef and pulled pork~! I placed an order for pickup on DoorDash and I was shocked by how fast I got the notification that they were already hot and ready for me and when got there I was super pleased by how warm I could tell they were just by holding the bottom of the box! Side note to the owner/owners unrelated to the food, I love all the houseplants in there, the pop of color is SO PRETTY and really makes the shop feel comfy!

The creation of the empanada predates the Spanish empire even though the word empanada comes from…read morethe Spanish word 'empanar,' meaning "to cover in pastry with dough." They are popular in countries all around the world, and the filling options are just as varied. Enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, served as an appetizer or main dish. Opened just two years ago in a little strip mall consisting of 2 stores off S Main St in Lodi, I came to Empanadas NJ Cafe as a first-timer for lunch. Upon entering this cozy shop with 3 tables for dining, I was greeted by the staff at his family-owned/family-run establishment specializing in Argentinian empanadas. These, put simply, are savory baked hand-held pastries. A large selection menu featured everything from Beef, Chicken, Ham & Cheese to Apple Pie, Hawaiian, and Guava & Cheese. One can't go wrong with any of the options. After speaking with Lucas, the owners' son, he recommended their popular Beef, Chicken, and Cuban Empanadas. They arrived hot. Each empanada was identified with the initials on the left side border. The shells were not greasy. They were packed full with the flavorful fillings with the accompanied Chimichurri sauce and were delicious. The price was comparable to the area. The staff was friendly and helpful; the service was fast. They've gotten so popular that a second location has been announced in Boonton. It was worth every minute, which I can recommend.

Wish I ordered more of them, lol. The baked chicken was moist and tasty, the rice was good and the plantains were pretty good and were not greasy.

Right amount of heat and pickling, next time I'll order extra and add it to everything!!!
