Came by here today for a snack and had an all around incredible experience. My server Vi was knowledgeable and helpful, and made it easy to find some empanadas that i would like. Speaking of which, the food was so delicious, I can't recommend it enough. super crispy, everything handmade in house and so much flavor. Definitely worth a detour if you're near the east village read more

This was the best, unplanned, no guilt meal I've had in too long! Let's back up that somewhat hyperbolic seeming statement with some facts, shall we? Availability and inclusion: I'm vegetarian and gluten free. There's several varieties of corn empanada, labeled GF. Several of those were vegetarian. Price: the ones I had were under $5 each. While empanada are small, you get to sample a lunch worthy amount for $10. Quality: I liked them so much, I went for seconds on the papa con queso! The sauces were all really enjoyable and matched the different empanadas well. The oat latte was good, and hot! Service: What a charming lady, Vee, talked about the business a little, some chitchat and was incredibly warm. A heartbreaker, if that's ok to say in a review (well it is now) read more

Titi’s - Papa con queso es muy bien! - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Cute spot in the East Village to get a small bite or a coffee. I dropped in on a cold Winter day to get a warm empanada , which was a good idea . I ordered the Papa Con Queso (potatoes and cheese ) which they have to fry up fresh for you (other empanadas are not fried.) There are cosy places to sit and several different sauces on the table (i liked the green herb one.) Staff are nice and the empanada was like $3.50. It was crispy and tasty - a nice snack if you're in the area . read more

Delicious spot in the LES right by Tompkins Square park. Came by mid day, the space is good vibes. They even have a domino table which is fire. Tried 3 empanadas: the chicken and cheese, spinach and cheese and a vegan one with caramelized onions - all delicious. The vegan one was actually my favorite. The pastry is nice and flakey, can definitely tell they put some love into this. Their bottled hot sauce is also really good. Def give them a try! read more

The meat ingredients are very fresh, not dry, the corn and the puff pastry are delicious. I like the salsa and the pink sauce, definitely need to try a few other empanadas. The only thing they lack is a large larger menu like their competitor. But definitely better than their competitor read more

((4.5 stars)) Titi's is empanada joint on East 7th Street, near Tompkins Square Park. serving variety of blended Venezuelan and NYC flavors in puff pastry shells, white & yellow corn pockets, OR sweet plantain vessel as well as some sandwich, dessert empanadas, and other options. the puff pastry empanadas are mostly baked while the corn ones are fried to crispy goodness. Titi's interior is colorful and eclectic like your crazy aunt's living room...it is homey, with a few booth seating options and a standing table. the space gives off a very casual fun vibe that isn't messy but also isn't overly neat...very chill...when you need to pause the craziness of NYC and eat some comforting calories. been here a few times, i can say this is a great addition to the neighborhood's food options. many of the empanada options are served in a baked puff pastry wrapping--like the chopped cheese empanada filled with seasoned ground beef and cooper's sharp American. ordered one of these because who doesn't like a good bodega-made chopped cheese? the empanada is filled to the brim with savory beef and melt cheese in a buttery flaky shell. it comes together nicely as meaty eat and evokes the classic bodega sandwich (Titi's also serves a traditional chopped cheese sandwich on a long roll hot off the grill if you want a much heftier serving of calories. my favorite empanada was the "papa con queso" corn empanada (one of the vegetarian options)--a soft potato and melted cheese filling enclosed in a golden brown corn empanada. the potato + cheese is such a great comfort food and very satisfying...the empanada is crispy on the outside and makes for a great combo with the potato cheesiness. the "Domino" corn empanada is another good vegetarian empanada--savory black beans (not mushy) in melted cheese in a crispy corn empanada...a satisfying bite that isn't superheavy. tried a "Pollo" corn empanada is seasoned moist chicken in a crispy soft shell. also had a drip coffee here--it was okay to good, but the focus is the food. the empanadas take about 6-10 minutes to heat up or fry...which i appreciate as the food comes hot outta the fryer or oven. don't sleep on the sauces: the green sauce was my favorite as it is a cilantro-based (plus other herbs) mayo dipping sauce. the service is very friendly even when they are busy. the staff is helpful and can make suggestions if you're unsure on what to get. definitely worth a stop for a snack or meal: 1-2 empanadas is a good snack option, while 3-4 makes for an enjoyable meal that allows for ordering a variety of flavors. oh, and there are a couple of vegan options for the non-carnivores. read more

The team was super friendly and we felt well taken care of. Will be coming back to t explore more of the menu and enjoy hanging out in the space! read more

I was craving some empanadas and stopped by Titi's after hearing about them on social media. They were delicious and exactly what I needed after night out! I got the oxtail and loved how tender the meat was! It came with oxtail gravy sauce that amplified the flavors but I was sad there wasnt any cheese involved. My friends and I LOVED the pollo and queso because of the classic flavors and the gooey, melty cheese inside the puff pastry. Needless to say they went to get seconds! The corn empanadas were also tasty with a crunchy shell. The sweet plantain ones confered a nice sweet and savory combo! The pabello featured beef, beans, and cheese which had a really nice fix of flavors with the savoriness of the tender meat/cheese and the sweetness from the plantain shell. Staff were super nice and patient when explaining the options to us. The space was cute - a combo of bar seating, high top seating, and couches that make you feel like youre at grandma's home! Food came out quick and piping hot with a couple different sauces. I'm excited to try their other flavors in the future! read more

I just tried their Cuban sandwich, and as someone who grew up in Ft. Lauderdale eating some of the best Cuban sandwiches in Miami, I have to say this one holds its own. The flavors were well-balanced, and the sandwich was super tasty. I especially loved the dipping sauce/gravy on the side it added an extra layer of flavor that really elevated the sandwich. I ordered through Uber Eats, and if I had one critique, it's that the sauce portion was way too small. One little container just wasn't enough for the whole sandwich (and I definitely wanted more). read more

Joining all of the other Cubans from south Florida in the reviews (lol) to say this place is awesome. I don't even like empanadas but I had to try the vegan picadillo on principle and it was utterly delicious. It's coincidentally gluten free and while I'm not gluten free it's nice that they have it as an option. Anyway my empanada was perfectly crisp on the outside and light and flavorful on the inside, with a really good chimichurri dipping sauce. I wish I got a picture but the second I took my first bite I had to unhinge my jaw and promptly decimate the rest of it. Excited to go back for 100 more of them and to try the cafecito read more

Best Cubano sandwich in the east village. I'm super picky - my first Cuban was at Gloria Estefan's restaurant Bongos as a teenager and I haven't been satisfied again until this one! This is a crispy, juicy sandwich worth waiting off the grill for! read more

Every empanada at Titi's tastes like someone got creative in the best way possible. You can tell there's heart behind the recipes and the classics hit hard but they're also always experimenting with new combos, flavors and popups. The art on the walls, the music, the energy, the events...it's not only a great place to grab a bite but also a spot to be put onto flavors, music and friendly faces . The team's got this cool mix of hustle and warmth that makes the whole experience a can't miss read more
