Mama Empanadas is truly a neighborhood staple in the Jackson Heights area. With over 50 empanada…read moreflavors to choose from, there's something for everyone. While in the neighborhood, I picked up a few varieties. My personal favorite is still the Biagra, their seafood empanada--always flavorful and satisfying. My husband loved the cheeseburger empanada, and we also tried the beef empanada. All of the empanadas had a great, crispy crust, which is something Mama Empanadas consistently does well. The only disappointment this time around was the guava and cheese empanada. Unfortunately, the guava filling didn't taste like the same quality I've had in the past. Overall, Mama Empanadas continues to be a solid neighborhood spot with an impressive variety and consistently crispy empanadas. I hope the guava and cheese returns to the quality it once had, as it's been a favorite in the

Just had a serious Venezuelan feast at Empanadas Mix and I'm still recovering like a champ…read more Walked in hungry... walked out questioning my life choices (in the best way). The Pepito Mix sandwich loaded with beef and chicken was basically a heavyweight champion between two pieces of bread. Then came the arepas--thick fried cornmeal shells stuffed with carne asada, pork belly, sweet plantains, special sauce, and a mountain of shredded queso. That's not a snack... that's a strategy for survival. Washed it down with fresh passion fruit juice and a cold Maltín Polar like a true gentleman of culture. Shoutout to my waitress Paola, who patiently guided me through the menu while I pointed at everything like a kid in a candy store. The place is small, cozy, full of Venezuelan music, and the staff are incredibly kind. Moral of the story: Came for empanadas... stayed for the Venezuelan flavor knockout. I'll definitely be back. Hungry. Again.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the place has a nice vibe. If you're in a hurry, it's better to call or order online ahead of time and then just pick it up. Totally worth it though -- the empanadas are so yummy and freshly made!

I had a recent experience with Parva that really stood out to me. An order I placed came out…read moreincorrectly, but what impressed me most was how they handled it. The staff member who called me was honest, direct, and took responsibility right away. Shortly after, the owner himself came personally to my pharmacy to replace the items at no cost. That level of accountability and professionalism is something you don't see often. It really speaks to the kind of business they run and the respect they have for their customers. Beyond that, their food has always been consistently delicious. This experience just reinforced why I'll continue supporting them. Highly recommend Parva to anyone in the Elmhurst and Jackson Heights community -- not just for the food, but for their integrity and care.

I would have enjoyed the multigrain croissant without anything in it. I like the passion fruit tres leche.

Why 4 stars? Because these arepas were different, but enjoyable…read more --- --- --- To-date, I apparently have only had Venezuelan arepas and wasn't aware of how different Colombian arepas were. Colombian arepas (or at least the ones here) come with a sweet, corn tortilla and are more open faced: to be eaten with a fork. In the past, I've had flour tortillas that are designed more like a taco and eaten as a handheld. So despite the differences, I (and my friends) enjoyed our meal. Let the official record state, I ordered the arepas con queso with chorizo. We had plans to eat our way through Jackson Heights, but because a couple of the places we planned to visit were closed, we actually just mostly hung out here and enjoyed our arepas of the sweet and open-faced variety. It was a good afternoon.

This was my first time trying an arepa, and honestly it was one of the best introductions I could…read morehave asked for. Before this, if someone mentioned arepas, I probably would have confused them with pupusas, which I'd only seen at street fairs and thought of as more of a sweet item. I had no idea they came in savory versions too. I went with the carne asada arepa, and the beef was fresh, juicy, and cooked just right. It's so common for places to overcook little chunks of beef, but here it was perfect. Each arepa is big enough to split between two people, so the price feels very fair. The filling was generous, with beef packed inside and even overflowing out the sides. They also serve the arepas with a rack of five or six sauces to choose from. Some were spicy, and one had a sweet condensed milk flavor if you like a mix of sweet and savory. My go to ended up being this green mayonnaise sauce which I assumed was like some sort of a lime mayo, which added the perfect tartiness to the rich cheese filling.

Soccer games are on the tv screens inside. There are cushioned booths and chairs, and it's good for small groups or dates. I walked in on a Sunday evening around 7 PM, so we got all the attention. :) The bartenders speak Spanish. The waitstaff said that it turns up at 10 PM, so that is good to know! The menu had light foods like tacos, empanadas, and chicken wings. I had ordered a margarita and a mojito. This bar had on Reggaeton, like lots of El Gran Combo de PR, Daddy Yankee, and Bad Bunny! So I sense that it's a great spot for dancing and drinks! I would definitely go back but probably on a Friday night.

Of course, prices will increase, but for about $3.50 you get a large, flavorful & filling empanada. You eat 3 of these and you'll be good for a few hours! What I also like about this place is that if you're not feeling fried, you can get it baked. My go-to is the (fried or baked - both good) chicken fajitas, pizza, and Cheese steak. Add a little bit of the green sauce to each bite & you're invited to mama's kitchen! Just be prepared for a wait time if you order, since each is made to order! Cash and card are both accepted but with a price difference.

Service: 2.2/5 Food: 4.3/5…read morePrice: under $20 Slightly revamped menu with some new items, mostly still the same. Service needs improvement. I placed 2 orders: 1st came out in 10 min, but 2nd was seemingly lost/forgotten. Despite checking in periodically, a follow-up with the kitchen didn't happen until my final ask ~40 min later. With such high customer turnover, someone sitting in plain view waiting for ~1hr should ideally stand out. While I was given a quick apology + extra sauces, it didn't quite make up for the significant delay + the lack of follow-through was disappointing. What I Ordered: - Chicken Fajita: good, not a standout - Hawaiian: good, still heavy on the cheese + pineapple - Pork: tender meat, not much different from the chicken - Figs, Caramel + Cheese: unique, but the fruit + caramel combo is too sweet
