    Empanadas are amazing! The filling and the crust are great. You can even order online. I will continue to be a repeat customer!

    Very fast service , prices are super cheap. 1 dollar for an empanada. This is the best empanada I…read morehave had in this area. It was also one of the best fresh lemonades I have drank. The seasoning of the beef was great, the beef also had a great texture. The pastry was cooked beautifully, had a nice crunch and it was not super greasy. The empanadas were also stuffed full with the beef. This place is a must for a quick and filling lunch ! I also want to mention how clean this place is and they do have a couple of tables to sit at.

    We visited Tu Cafeteria recently and unfortunately the experience felt uncomfortable from the…read moremoment we walked in. The atmosphere was not welcoming at all - it honestly felt like we were bothering the person working there. I understand this is a startup, but it didn't seem prepared or ready to receive customers. The space is very small with limited seating, and the tables felt more like outdoor patio furniture than indoor dining. It was also very cold inside, with only a small portable heater that didn't really help. We ordered two sandwiches -a Cuban and a ham and cheese. When we asked what comes on the sandwiches, the response was "whatever you want on it," followed by "salad," which was confusing. I assumed that meant lettuce and tomato, but for someone working in a cafeteria-style restaurant, the lack of clarity was surprising. The premade food (pastelitos) looked old and unappetizing. The overall vibe was extremely quiet and awkward, with no warmth or energy in the space. When our food was ready, it wasn't brought to our table, the staff member stood in a doorway and expected us to grab it ourselves. I also asked for sparkling water and then regular water, and neither was available. Positives: The sandwiches themselves were good--warm and nicely pressed. The mayo/ketchup sauce, however, had way too much garlic (and I mean way too much). Overall, there's potential here, but the customer service, preparedness, and atmosphere really need improvement to make this a place people want to return to.

    So we stopped here as we saw other positive reviews. What a delightful, cute Argentinian empanadas…read morerestaurant! The lunch special is 3 empanadas + beverage + chips for $16.04. We tried 6 empanadas between us and they were flavorful and fun. I was happily surprised that the three were enough for a meal-I was smiling as I finished them. The spicy chorizo had a noticeable slight pepper to it, the chicken mushroom was fun with bechamel and the beef with cheese and bacon reminded me of a great Philly cheesesteak. The spinach was surprising in its deep flavor and light flaky crust. Definitely worth trying! The kind woman who helped us was pleasant, knowledgeable, and promptly prepared everything. The ambiance is cute with the coffee cups having angel wings. If you are in the area, it's worth stopping by!

    We placed a large order through DoorDash, over two dozen empanadas, for a group of people waiting…read moreat home. The dasher picked up the food and then canceled the order. I called the restaurant immediately to explain what happened and try to find a solution. The person in charge was not interested in hearing any of it. He kept insisting I had canceled the order, blamed me repeatedly, and refused to move past that point no matter how clearly I explained the situation. He eventually got rude and hung up on me. Yes, he actually hung up. When a restaurant chooses to partner with DoorDash, they take on some responsibility for how delivery problems get handled, particularly on large orders. The right response is not to interrogate and blame the customer while a ready order sits on the counter. There was no attempt to help, no offer to make it right, just defensiveness from start to finish. We ended the night with nothing. A large group of people, no food, and an experience that left us worse off than if we had never ordered at all. If something goes wrong with your order, this is how Che Empanadas will treat you. We will not be ordering from them again, and I would strongly encourage others to think twice before doing so.

Picked up 4 types empanadas, classic beef and chicken, spicy chicken and another beef one with raisins, for a World Cup final watch party. Store was festive today with Argentina being in the final. Regardless of the outcome of the World Cup, the empanadas at our watch party were definitely a winner.

    Che Empanada in Newton is the kind of spot that is easy to drive past without stopping, which would…read morebe a genuine mistake. We walked into a space that is more takeout oriented in scale, but warm and comfortable enough to sit and eat without feeling out of place. The menu runs over twenty varieties of empanada on a given day, and the range is wide enough that building a mixed order across a few different fillings was the natural and obvious way to go. The classic beef is a reliable anchor and the short rib version elevates that same foundation with a richer, more layered filling. We tried the chicken mushroom, one of the more distinctive options on the menu, and it was worth ordering for something that departs from the expected. The spicy chorizo paired well with the chimichurri sauce, which is worth asking for if it does not come automatically. The La Che is another strong option if you want to try the house specialty alongside a more classic pick. One thing worth knowing is that some varieties sell out earlier in the day, so arriving with a bit of flexibility in your order in case a specific filling is gone is a smart approach. The staff were friendly and helped guide us through the menu when we hesitated. The empanadas themselves came out hot and crisp, with fillings that felt generous and well seasoned. For an empanada stop in Newton that delivers on variety and quality, Che Empanada is worth seeking out. We would come back for the short rib and the spicy chorizo, and we would plan to arrive earlier to catch the full selection.

I got assorted empanadas and they were all amazing! I also got the homemade chimichurri sauce to take home. They also had homemade desserts and some international imported items for sale like hot sauce, cookies, caramel sauce, and coffee. The service was quick and friendly. They even labeled the empanadas and had heating directions on the box. I'll definitely be back sooner rather than later! Highly recommend!

They have a wide variety of empanadas (a lot more flavors than their website advertises) in addition to some retail items in the tiny store. I got the beef clasico, tango beef, spicy chicken, and mushroom chicken empanadas, which came out to $20 before tax and tip. The person who helped me with my order kindly labeled everything in the box. Only when I got home did I realize that I forgot to ask for chimichurri! The empanadas reheated well. They had a very delicate pastry shell that would sometimes crumble from the weight of the fillings. They tasted homey-- not too salty, greasy, or overly processed. While each empanada flavor tasted unique, I thought that they could definitely be enhanced by a tangy, salty, spicy sauce. I really should have picked up some chimichurri... They have a good selection of vegetarian empanadas and a vegan empanada as well. I look forward to coming back!
