    Pepperoni Pizza Empanada
    Dan M.

    They had a number of different empanadas to choose from. They ranged from traditional to unique to dessert type ones. It took some time for 2 empanadas to be ready, but nothing terrible. I ordered the spicy beef and pepperoni pizza empanada ($5 each). Both were appropriate in size and had plenty of filling. The spicy beef did have a kick to it. The spicy sauce that I received went well with spicy beef empanada. The aspect that stood out in the pepperoni one was the parmesan cheese that was incorporated. It was a nice touch with the rest of the empanada. Will I go back? I would, yes.

    UPDATE: After the restaurant replied to my review being so kind and offering for us to try them again I was excited and eager to do just that. I mean they have great reviews and my family really wanted to like them and finally have a go-to empanada place. Everone has an off day, right? UNFORTUNATELY, a few days after their public response to me here on Yelp, I received a Facebook message from the owner of Zoelilly at 2am. He had actually gone out of his way to locate me on Facebook and even found where I live. Here is his message attached so you can see I did not edit it. You can also read here below: "I'm the owner of Zoelily Empanadas and to find out that your from Rockaway really shocked me. I'm a beloved person and business in this town. And though I am not perfect and mistakes can happen, but your descriptions of oozing grease out of the Empanadas doesn't even make sense, so much so you would need a towel. And one was inedible. But you don't call the establishment to let them know. You quickly go bash them in reviews in not one but two sites, you clearly see our amazing reviews on multiple sites. And you compare a food truck to a restaurant on why we don't carry more Empanadas. 8 savory and 5 dessert when you came. Plus other food items. We don't have the same storage space available. I'm disappointed and during Covid, it truly feels like you have ulterior motives behind these posts." -Raphael Vargas Let me start by saying that this was a HUGE violation of privacy. Luckily my account is set to Private. To Rafael, I patronized your establishment. We weren't satisfied and clearly put a lot of thought and detail into the review. I would have loved to have loved it. But we didn't. Secondly, saying my review "didn't make sense" allude to me being dishonest or "having an ulterior motive" for the review is a little nuts on your part. I leave reviews all the time and they are usually great. I find Yelp reviews helpful so I do my part for others. Based 100% on your choice to look me up, which I find completely inappropriate, we will NOT be coming back. I can't begin to tell you how uncomfortable this makes me and my family, many of which, are local. If you are so loved in the area than don't worry yourself to hunt down the few reviews that aren't amazing. I truly hope you never do this again. The next person you track down might do a lot more than just stop patronizing your business. This was completely inappropriate and unprofessional and you should be embarrassed. It can't just be about food. It should also be about integrity. Good luck to you.

    Korokke with hot sauce. Fist sized for just $5
    Steve A.

    Empanada Lady is my go-to for those now, so I tried something different here - korokkes, Japanese panko-breaded balls. I chose sweet chili chicken. Turns out you just get one korokke, but it's giant-sized. It had a nice flavor to it, and the hot sauce has plenty of heat as a complement. I can't rate them on the empanadas but they looked quite large and so maybe they're actually competitive with the greatness of the Lady. I see the other two reviewers (so far) are fans, so maybe next time.

    Chicken and cheese empanada
    Justin S.

    Passed by this truck during the week and told myself I'd make a stop during the weekend. When i realized it was empanadas . It's becoming a top 5 fav food. Not all are made equal. I was aiming to support a local business during these stay at home everything is closed times. I'm not a grocery shopper. Anyhow, the empanadas are sizeable and stuffed. Not like a bag of chips stuffed with air. More like a GOOD empanada stuffed with ingredients. I'll stop whether I'm hungry or not for one of these.

    The Holy Trinity Fries....
    Michelyn P.

    Omg I can not say enough about this empanada on wheels!! I have been there several times and the food is AMAZING!! I have tried not only the empanadas but the tacos and the fries!! Every time I go I try something new. Follow them on Facebook and they will let you know if they are having special empanadas.... GAME CHANGER....was the BOMB!! And my picky son loves the chicken empanada.

    Coca Cola Infused Pulled Pork Empanada. Excellent.

    Denville rocks! It has fantastic food choices and friendly people. One of our favorite places after…read morechurch is the farmers market. Plenty of locally grown produce. Excellent prices. Great variety too. They also have cheese, meat, soup, honey, mushrooms, pickle and cake vendors too. If you get hungry, you can get a cooked snack a grab seat at the picnic table. Parking in the lot is looney. The lines aren't clear and traffic flow is ad lib. We park on the street since we have see close calls in the lot. Love fresh foods and want to support local businesses? This is a good way to get that done.

    We started coming to this Farmer's Market because it can be a little more convenient for us than…read morethe one in Morristown...and both are on Sundays so sometimes it's a matter of 'ummm, we need corn on the cob NOW!!!'. I love fresh produce and just about everything I buy here I can cook on the grill (I pride myself on ecellent grilling skills!)...from peppers to corn to green beans to asparagus-all are better grilled. Stop for some fresh fish, beef, chicken, etc and I have a perfect summer meal. The Denville market is a bit smaller than the Morristown one, but they still have great vendors a number of which are not over at Morristown. The location for this market is very convenient with lots of parking-and it's an easy in and out. Can't wait til June!
