Always glad there's Empanadas on Austin street. However one instance they didn't have what I wanted. Other instance the food was messy and not worth what I paid. Friends were not a fan either. I suggest going to Mamas Empanadas or a reputable spot. Not Super =0 read more

I got two empanadas (one chicken, one beef) and a small passionfruit (parcha) juice. The "small" was at least 21 oz and more than enough for the price. The empanadas are $3 each or $4 for ones with cheese. A filling and affordable lunch. I liked the beef empanada better than the chicken. The chicken itself was well seasoned but a bit dry. The ground beef was still pretty juicy. The empanada dough was perfectly crispy. I thought both empanadas were filled with enough meat. Parcha juice was delicious and had a ton of flavor. I really liked my food and drink from here and I'd recommend it for anyone looking for something inexpensive but still high quality. read more

This young lady has been on Austin Street for years with her empanada food truck. I would have to say she has the best empanadas that I have ever tasted outside of my wife's. Abuelas empanadas are definitely the best in queens, from what i have tasted from other empanada restaurant or food truck's. The chicken empanadas and the beef are both good to me .I have to admit they are a little pricey ,but they are worth it. The lady gives nice portions of meat as well. She makes them right in front of you hot and fresh. When ever me and my family are on Austin Street, I stop by to get a couple of abuelas empanadas . read more

wow I am Puerto Rican and we make the best empanadas in PR. These were so meaty and seasoned so well. Lucky we ate them right at our parking spot and lined up for more. Plz stay in Rockaway Beach for the rest of the summer. Price did go up from last year from $4 to $6 but still worth it. read more

I stumbled upon this Empanada truck on my way back home from Target. The menu is very basic. They offer cheese, chicken, beef, and vegetable empanadas. They also have homemade drinks: Passionfruit and Chinola, Soda, Water, Iced Coffee, and Hot Coffee. I tried the beef empanadas a week ago which was delicious. I decided to try the chicken empanadas this time around. While they were good I think I'd stick with the beef empanadas. They were seasoned well. The chicken empanadas had too much of a citrusy flavor to it. I felt like the lime was overkill. read more

Food truck on Austin St. and 70 Rd. Mainly empanadas. One of the more affordable options in the area. $4 per empanada, maybe 2-3 of them would be a meal. The beef empanada was nice, while the chicken was dry. There are a couple of public benches nearby, which is convenient. They put napkins and ketchup packets in the bag--plenty of restaurants forget to do that. read more

What others are complaining as airy is actually the best part of this empanada for me. Honestly, I prefer a fluffy and crispy crust compared to some hard piece of cardboard many places serve. I do wish there was more filling, but the beef was pretty flavorful. With a little Cholula hot sauce and some of the green sauce, this homemade hot pocket tasted quite delicious. At $4 for one empanada, it feels a little bit overpriced. However, I like the fact that I could buy a single empanada when I want just a snack. read more

Abuela's Empanadas - Chicken Empanada - Empanadas Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

I tried them a few weeks ago, since, I pass them on Austin At in Forest Hills every day. There was barely any meat in the beef empanada. The Dough was inflated giving the illusion that there was a substantial amount of meat. On my way back, I informed the food truck attendant and she was extremely nice and told Me she would Relay the information to the owner. read more

las peores empanadas que te puedes comer. parece que nunca cambian el aceite donde las fritan. saben horrible. aparte de todo son cochinos. les falta aseo. Y el servicio malisimo read more

I grabbed one. Hi ken and one beef empanada and I have to say by far they're some of the best I've had in New York. Packed with flavor, the best part was the fact that the meat inside wasn't dry at all on the other hand both the chicken and beef were very juicy. read more

Abuela's Empanadas - Chicken empanada - Empanadas Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Abuela's Empanadas have been around for a while, I first had their Empanadas in LIC and fell in love with their Empanadas con Pollo y Queso. Then I started noticing more trucks around queens (Under the Queenboro plaza train station and Rockaway beach). I recently got some empanadas near rockaway beach, first of all the prices have increased about 3 dollars more which is sad (now each Empanada is about 5-7 dollars). To complete your meal ask for some sauce. Definitely not going back as much as I used to or else I'll go broke. read more

Abuela's Empanadas - Empanada con Pollo y Queso - Empanadas Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Abuela's empanadas are some of the best wheat empanadas that I've ever had. They are located in carts around NYC and I've loved seeing them expand to be near more of my favorite parks and spots in NYC. I usually frequent the LIC truck and the Rockaway Beach truck. They have a great variety of flavors though usually they're out of stock of the flavors other than the basic chicken with cheese and chicken and beef. The price is a little steep for one empanada but it is worth it as it's pretty substantial. The truck accepts cash, card, and Apple pay which is really convenient. Be sure to ask for sauces to go with your empanada. read more

Abuela's Empanadas - Pollo empanada - Empanadas Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Good empanadas but knocking off two are because the truck clearly shows Apple Pay as a payment method but they did not accept it when we tried to pay. Had to make a mad dash home to get a card, very inconvenient and false advertising. read more

Wonderful, cheap street food. I always get empanadas from here and the its always perfectly crispy on the outside.

14 dollars for three empanadas that were more air and dough then actually filling..... fucking joke Also has to be the only empanada cart in NYC that doesn't have sauces. read more

I got the chicken empanada from Abuela's Empanadas food truck in LIC near LaGuardia Community College over the summer and it was a nice filling snack. The chicken was a little bit too salty, but the flavor was fine. If I were to get something else, I might try the guava and cheese. But make sure to go early because certain empanadas sell out! read more

Nice and friendly lady at their little cart, great food and service. They also take card should you be low on cash. Definitely recommend. The beef needed to be eaten while hot if you really want to enjoy them. Guava and cheese is good also, if you already got the acquired taste read more

This place is dangerous, I purchased chicken and beef and both me and my son became very sick with food posion. I have no idea what happen but they sold me some bad food. Be careful!! read more

Oder a chicken with cheese and a large passion fruit it was omg delicious I had to get another one and my fiancé also had 2 beers it was real grinder beef and the chicken was really stuff and juicey. These are real hand made by hand thanks read more

If you don't have license plates a registration sticker or an inspection sticker I am very skeptical about making a purchase. . I also find this food truck disrespectful, parking on a hydrant in a no standing zone and in a driveway. If it was 1 peso I pass you should too. AVOID AVOID AVOID read more

Big flat (not fat) fried empanadas. The pastry is not bad. Everything fried tastes good, right? I agree that between chicken and beef, beef is the crowd pleaser. Too bad they don't come with any homemade salsa. When I asked for sauce, I got handed a food service packet, the kind that ketchup comes in. Also, if you order more than one kind, you'll need to memorize which is which because the lady doesn't label the bags, and the empanadas don't have any identifying features to tell you later what flavor they are. read more

now in rockaway on beach 108th street. No bathroom facilities. Workier in truck up to 12 hours. ??? sink. Have seen worker leave truck with gloves on closed back door, get ice from deli, return to truck using the same gloves. There is no NYC license on truck, No letter grade for cleanliness. I do't think jproper food handling is being maintained. read more

Do not eat at this place. Their truck sits around not cleaned properly for days. I have literally seen this truck park without moving to be cleaned over a week with no source of water around. read more

The best!!!! I go to Abuelas food truck often and the empanadas are always consistently delicious. Highly recommend

Great service and delicious empanadas!!! My favorite is the chicken with cheese, it is stuffed with the right amount of juicy chicken and cheese. They tasted just like my abuela's empanadas. I always stop by to grab an empanada and passion fruit drink when I am in the area. Highly recommend !!! read more
