This food truck is pretty good for most I've seen. Lots of options, you can call in an order. However empanadas are 3$ that's pretty expensive for how greasy they are. And sometimes the meat isn't cooked as well as it should be. But it gets the job done in a quick time. It's a good quick pick up spot . read more

DROOOL! Oh Cesar's! I love you! I've had their empanadas on days when I didn't feel like eating anything else and it always hit the spot. Recently I got a spinach and cheese empanada ($3.00) and left...eating in hand, whilst walking through nearby Target. It was so good and delicious that I decided to be a glutton and visit the truck again. This time I ordered a fish sandwich, which consists of tartar sauce, talapia, lettuce and tomato. While I waited for my second round of food, another customer rolled up on his bike and requested food...again...for the second time, just like me! I bet they get this a lot, the food is good, fast and hot and you have a perfect view of the goings on of Flatbush ave as you dine while standing. read more

This is the same Cesar's Empanadas that is in front of Atlantic Terminal! Their empanadas seriously gave me diarrhea for 2 days!!!! It smelled like their food... After not eating anything the whole day, I stopped by this food truck in order to get a quick empanada, which turned out to be A HUGE MISTAKE. IT'S FOOD TRUCK FOOD! FOOD THAT SITS IN THE TRUCK THAT STARTS TO DEVELOP BACTERIA. Their empanada was the only thing that I ate, and I developed stomach pains and ache, which also made me lose appetite for the 2 days! The next morning, I was still feeling the effects of this Mexican food. The bowel movement and the vomiting. How could 1 empanadas do this to me? I don't understand. What was in their ingredients for it to cause food poisoning. Their ingredients must not be fresh. I love Mexican food. I eat Mexican food from a restaurant all the time. From now on I will avoid this food truck. They are nasty! I truly regret eating this food. My stomach is still recovering. Overall I have been drinking lots of water to recover and to stay hydrated from the excessive vomiting and diarrhea. I need to report this to the Department of Health! read more

Cesar's Empanadas - Food Trucks Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cesar's is the fastest and best quick-bite in downtown Brooklyn. Having lived and worked in the neighborhood for 10 years, this place has been a regular place to grab a DELICIOUS and hot "lunch on the go" or a "quick bite before going out". The food is always consistent and well made and you always know what you're going to get. Additionally, I once ordered 300 empanadas for a party and the quality was just as superb as ever and my guests were extremely pleased with the food and were scrambling to take the leftovers home with them. read more

Omg!!! Delish empanadas!!! Here I am about to eat a banana when my co-worker walks in and says lets go to the empanada truck. I said "I'm in." The truck is located near the Atlantic Ave Mall. It's closer to the LIRR main entrance. The menu is very cheap. The empanadas are $2-$3. It can become a lunch, snack, or even dinner. Unbelievably a great decision. I got the chicken & spinach empanada and the beef with vegetables empanada. Both were amazing, flavorful, and crunchy. Portion size are very decent. They have other dishes like tacos and sandwiches, but they are best known for the empanadas. The empanadas are amazing here and they are cheap. I love food trucks!!! read more

I get out of Target and see a long line of locals at this empanada truck. Mmmmmm must be good! So, I quickly check yelp, great score. Let's go try it! Both empanadas I tried were delicious, I would have just put a bit more filling but it might be dangerous and overflow if too much. So, ok like this. Next time I go to Target I'll try new tastes! read more

Sometimes a girl just needs a little fat in her life. Cesar's crispy, savory chicken with cheese empanada satisfied every drop of that craving. I managed to keep all its greasy glory off my coat and out of my hair even though the wind outside of BAM was looking to fight me. My only regret was that I had just ONE. Cesar, no te mueves! Mashed potato and the dulce de leche with banana have my future name written on them. read more

Delicious empanadas. Always there when you need it. Starting price at $2.50. Make sure to ask for the green sauce. These empanadas are the best hand warmers for this sh*t weather. Amazing deep fried pockets of goodness. There's a sign for cards but I'm not sure about the minimum. read more

I'm impressed. The empanadas are definitely not the healthiest option, but they're nowhere near as greasy as I thought they would be. The spinach and cheese has a good filling-to-pastry ratio, so one of these for $3 is a lot more satisfying than the three $1 vegetables samosas you can get at the other food truck! The green sauce is good, and flavor as well as spice. Great location right outside the LIRR terminal, and they do good business even when it's raining. read more

Still one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn. Nowadays I go to the smaller truck in Williamsburg most often (parked kind of near the Apple store on Bedford). The beef and cheese is still the best. The guava and cheese is also a fave. read more

Whenever I'm nearby and craving something that's easy to eat on-the-go and won't break the bank, Cesar's is definitely my choice. I love their huge variety of empanadas from classics like chicken, beef, and cheese, to even sweet choices like guava and cheese. And the great part about it is that you'll never end up spend more than $3 on one. I looove the chicken empanada. It's seasoned wonderfully and the outside is nice and crispy. I've also never had to worry about getting burned when biting into one (i.e. Hot Pocket burns), which I appreciate because isn't a burnt tongue the worst?? They also offer other larger meals like tacos, fried fish, and burritos, but I'd say just stick with what they're known for. I once decided to venture away from my usual and instead opted for a chicken burrito bowl, but I was really underwhelmed because it was poorly seasoned and just a little too greasy. The service is quick and efficient, and you can tell that everyone in that small truck is working their asses off, but they're still always friendly and attentive. I also believe that it's cash only, so come prepared. I definitely recommend the next time you're visiting the area. read more

Cesar's Empanadas - The delicious cheese empanada. - Food Trucks Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Best empanadas I ever had besides my own lol. The truck is hard to find sometimes it's on the side of Atlantic mall other times is by the stop and shop side of the mall. There is almost always a line but I was able to go to the smaller food truck on Ashland with no wait. read more

A lot of these review are reviewing the empanadas. My husband got the empanadas and it was delicious. I got a steak taco. I just always have to have tacos when I see that tacos are offered. We had reservations in two hours for dinner but we needed a quick lunch because we were both starving. The taco was $3-- tortillas are doubled and composed of pico de gallo, guacamole a small container of hot sauce cheese and lettuce. The guys are super friendly. The lettuce seemed to just be pulled and thrown on it. So it's not beautifully composed as one expects but don't let that deter you because it was amazing! read more

Cesar's Empanadas - Steak tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is my go to snack when I have to wait for the train at Atlantic terminal. The food truck sits right on top of the stairs and always hot and ready to go. I have tried the cheese, beef with cheese and chicken with cheese empanadas and all are amazing. The meats are seasoned perfectly and the cheese ones are salty and gooey. Don't forget to grab a few green and red hot sauces before you leave. read more

Delicious! Their tacos are so yummy, and they ask whats your preference. So be careful because spicy is very hot but delicious. I also enjoy their beef empanadas so happy to see them when I get off from work after a long day. I haven't tried their meals with rice but I'm guessing it's just as good I do see a few people order them read more

Had the Beef Empanada. Juicy, crispy, buttery flaky. Guy who either works there or owns the truck was like "you'll be down the block and want to come back and get another one." He was right. I woulda but gotta save myself for the dinner I'm having at a wedding tonight. Go here if you want a really good snack. E read more

I just made a big order: 3 tacos de birria, 4 empanadas, paide around $30, I get home and I can inly see 3 tacos de birria. They are not picking up their phone and this is 40 minutes from my house. The worst. Coming back tomorrow for my money and never again. read more

Craving a fried pocket of epicness and the taste of homemade? Please, please, please come to this food truck! The service is fast and friendly! My boyfriend and I got chicken + cheese and a beef + cheese empanadas. It came out to $6. Everything on this truck is under $10! The beef was very well grounded so no gristle was present thank goodness. The meat for both was tender and chockfull of flavor! My first and only empanada experience was from the restaurant franchise On The Border. In my opinion, this definitely beats it! TL;DR? Basically, just eat here for super cheap and super delicious food! read more

Cesar's Empanadas - The size is awesome tbh; no complaints! - Food Trucks Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a gem is all I have to say. I usually do not like to eat from trucks but these people put there foot in there food and it is amazing. Most people go for there empanadas and they are very good. They have a nice selection of different types of empanadas. Now in my case no one makes them like my aunt Maria so that's said I started ordering there chorizo burrito and I went into a full on foodgasm. The rice is cooked to perfection and the chorizo has just the right amount of fat to meat ratio. They don't drown the burritos inside with sauce so you can actually taste everything inside. I'm not a huge bean guy so I always order it without beans but I will say there beans do look good as my co workers order rice and beans. From what I am told there fish tacos are excellent as well. If you love spicy as I do then you will love there hot sauce it will leave you sweating and looking for more to pour on. All said and done if you live in the area or you are there for an Islanders game go right outside of Atlantic Terminal and get your chow on. You will leave satisfied and happy. read more

Cesar's Empanadas - Food Trucks Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been meaning to try this truck/cart after bypassing it to go to Skyview, and on my way back I took a chance and ordered their Chicken Crispy Special. OMGGGG it's so freaking juicy, well seasoned and tasty!! Their fries was also delicious by itself. I shared it with my brother, he's like "it's better then KFC and Popeyes combined!" . I agree!! Will be trying other stuff on their menu in the future. Well worth the price!! read more

Cesar's Empanadas - There is no words! It's freaking juicy and delicious!!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Yay for a Spanish Food Truck in Flushing! I walked by and was in complete shock when I saw the sign "Empanadas" in Flushing and just had to try it out. I got a beef empanada and a salchipapa. Pretty cheap and reallly good. Empanadas were just simple and perfect and the salchipapas were surprisingly yummy. Fries were fresh and the sauce on top was delicious. They also serve shish-kebabs and tacos which I'm eager to try next time. Overall it's nice to have something different in Flushing besides the obvious Asian foods. read more

Had the chicken empanada. It was great. Inside was flavorful and juicy. I highly recommend as a snack.

Delicious food, love the shrimp empanadas will swindlers stop by whenever I can. The ketchup Mayo sauce is excellent.

I always buy empanadas here before my guitar class at the Brooklyn School of music. Delicious food, super cheap, always served hot and crunchy. My ideal combo is a chicken+cheese and a spinach +cheese. Plenty of vegetarian options! read more

A staple in nyc dating as far back as I can remember (high school) tasty empanadas made from scratch with all types of fillings for a decent price don't forget the green sauce! read more

I came by here because of an event I was to go to later, and I got a beef empanada. I had originally wanted beef and spinach but there was no more, and then I asked for beef and vegetable but there was no more of that either. Chicken with those yes but not beef! In the end I just got plain beef and took some hot sauces. It was good! The empanadas were still hot and the beef was really juicy. Cash only as it's a food cart, and $2.50-$3 including tax per empanada. Pretty good, worthy of a quick meal! read more

This food truck serves mostly meat skewers, empanadas with different fillings, tacos and burritos, and other small eats. Prices are fair and the inside workstation seems clean. I only had the chicken skewers so far, and there was a good amount of meat on the skewers and it had good flavor. Hopefully it stays there..I don't trust the cleanliness of most of the Asian food-cart spots throughout Flushing that sells skewers and other cooked snacks..loll read more

Food trucks are nothing new, but I finally found one worth all the fuss--Cesar's Empanadas. The name carries some weight because I have spoken to two co-workers (we don't live or work near the truck) but both have been and sung its praises. When you think about it, an empanada is the perfect food--yummy filling on the inside, crispy crust on the outside. Cesar's knows how to make a good empanada. I've had the beef and chicken empanadas here, as well as a steak taco. Everything was fresh, well made, and well seasoned. The empanadas came out warm, which made for a quick and tasty meal as I waited for the bus. The taco hit the spot as well, with a decent amount of filling. Service is fast and friendly, and you can enjoy your meal on the go. Going to Target just got more exciting. Cash only! read more

Cesar. CESAR! CEESAAAR!!! What do you put in your empanadas?! IT. IS. CRACKALICIOUS!!! Initially, I thought $2.50 a pop was a bit steep but upon the first bite, it was WORTH EVERY DAMN PENNY for many reasons. Uno, the chicken and spinach ratio was perfecto. Dos, well seasoned and killer flavors. Tres, not oily! Quatro, the chewy and flaky dough. Cinco, a sizeable empanada packed with goodies instead of air. Hmm, not sure why I felt the need to count in Spanish... So yeah, hit Cesar up if you enjoy empanadas! Don't be an idiot like me and only order one. There are tons of options to choose from, so I will definitely be back to try more and by more I mean ALL. read more

I love this food truck, they are one of the best places to get an Empanada!. every time me or my mother visits Atlantic Avenue i usually tend to pick up a chicken or beef with vegetables Empanadas. They make other things like Burritos and Tacos but i haven't tried it. read more

Best empanadas around! The shrimp is the best I've ever had. Quesadillas and burritos are really good as well. Great staff and everything is fresh. Something that was desperately needed in the downtown flushing area! Welcome to the neighborhood!!!! read more

Just what I needed! I was trying to get a lot of things done one night and didn't have the time to sit and eat. I was think what I could eat on the run. Street Meat is too messy and I need to be intoxicated to scarf down a normal hot dog from a cart. When I saw this van parked at Atlantic Terminal that read EMPANADA.... I knew this was what I wanted. I wasn't wrong. The empanadas are $2 and you can choose from Chicken, Beef & Spinach and Cheese. They even have a Spinach & Cheese one for you vegetarians. I decided to get the Chicken and the Beef and Spinach. These were nice fresh and still crispy. Definitely something I can eat on the go. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have the Cheese & Spinach one that I wanted, but it was alright. read more

It's impossible for me to go to Atlantic Terminal and not get empanadas from the truck. I'm almost embarrassed to say that's about once per week. So far the beef, fish and sweet plantain are my absolute favorites. The steak tacos are great as well. I'm looking forward to trying other items on the menu. If you're in the area, do yourself a fave and grab one or three! read more

Would have given 5 stars but let me explain. I really like Cesar's Empanadas and tend to always grab a few when I'm in the Atlantic-Barclays area and shopping. Their empanadas are very tasty and worth the price but a recent bad experience has left me wary of their quality control. I usually order fish empanadas but decided to order a few beef empanadas the other day as I rarely get them and regret it. 3 to 4 hours after eating them and eating nothing else, I began having severe nausea and couldn't even keep water down (this lasted for 2 whole days and left me really weak). Now, I don't know what happened, maybe the beef went bad and they just didn't realize but I am personally staying away from the beef one from now on. read more

Wow I was very pleasantly surprised by Cesars Empanadas. I stopped here on a whim starving, not willing to sit down anywhere with all of the Christmas hustle and bustle. I checked Yelp first really quick as always and saw that they had 4 1/2 stars. And because I trust my fellow Yelpers so much I decided to give it a shot! Im so glad I did because these empanadas are amazing! I ordered 2 with chicken + cheese. Its cold outside but they were nice and hot not to mention I didn't have to wait they were already ready. The chicken was to die for and the cheese was amazing. They were not all greasy and messy like many other food trucks selling empanadas. Im highly impressed, I would highly recommend and I will definitely be returning! read more

Amazing food. I live in south brooklyn and I come up here as often as I can just to get the shrimp tacos and empanadas. Highly recommended!!! read more

2.50 for basic chicken but worth it.they have many different choices hard to decide which to to get but you will be happy with your choice always friendly staff. read more

Always the spot, always. We drive from Bath Beach to Atlantic to have these empanadas. It's a quick, cheap stop and your hunger is satisfied. If you are driving it's a mess to reach the truck so I suggest taking the train or walking to the truck. Chicken and cheese empanadas, chicken and spinach, chicken and veggies, beef and cheese, etc etc. It's what you need as a Brooklyn and/New Yorker when you're on the go and need a quick meal. read more

Cheap, fresh, fast and piping hot empanadas. What more can a girl ask for? Hot sauce. Yep Caesars got you covered. I love the variety of empanadas that Caesar provides. My favorite is the fish empanada. Least favorite one would have to be the spinach and cheese one. For some reason it's so damn salty! The green hot sauce that comes with it on request is really f*cking hot. But delicious smothered allllllll over dat hot empanada. I believe this place is cash only but everything is under 5$. I come here every time I'm in the neighborhood. The average empanada is about 3$. read more
