These are the best Empanadas I have ever had! Found them after a long google search to find a place to do a large order and deliver. These were a hit and my guests raved about them specifically the chicken and beef! The asst. Manager even popped on the subway to make sure they got here on time after the delivery service canceled. This is a must order from spot!!!!! read more

Ive been missing out. Stopped by Empanada City for a quick snack and left with a whole meal. Inside and outdoor seating, uber eats n door dash friendly and they have smoothies, yassssss. We were greeted by friendly staff place out order and sat outside. We got the classic cheese, a pizza, a shrimp and a mac and cheese with Buffalo chicken empanada and decided to try a rice bowl. Everything came out piping hot. Took a sip of my mango smoothie it was very refreshing and a sip of my friends limeade, tart but yum! Our empanadas were soo good. Not oily at all, packed with favor and filling. The pizza and mac n cheese was a big hit! I will be going back throufhout the summer! read more

The ropa vieja is my favorite, crispy empanadas. decent price. If you want a quick bite stop in!

First off, let it be known I think the empanadas are very, very good. They're perfect crispy, the ingredients are hot and tasty and flavorful, and they're just what I want in an empanada (which is really one of my favorite foods, as I grew up with a Mexican mother who made them homemade). So far I've gotten the Cuban and the Ground beef, and it's nice you can just order one at a time - so I plan on just coming back and having one at a time as a snack each time until I've tried them all. The empanadas come out freshly made it seems, as it can take 5-10 minutes, but the wait isn't too long or anything. Here's my reason for not giving it 5 stars: I'm not sure if they're meeting my expectations on the pandemic. I've been in there where there were quite a few people inside waiting and while they had masks, it seemed like too many people inside at once. I chose to wait outside, but they really should be moderating that themselves. Even worse, one of the staff members came from outdoors and not wearing a mask and didn't have a mask on until a good 5+ minutes until he'd come back inside. So, he walked past the customers with no mask, and then was behind the counter (at least they have a partition) for a good while no mask until he put one on. If anything, giving a 4 is generous because of the pandemic stuff - I really should knock it down to a 3 - but I hate penalizing restaurants during a really tough time, the first time I went there wasn't the no mask issue, and the empanadas are very good. Like, your food is good, but no food is good enough to put myself at higher risk than necessary for corona. Hopefully next time it's better and they take my feedback. read more

This place SLAPS! The empanadas are absolutely to die for. Vegetarian options available. You can't go wrong with any of them, but my favorite was the broccoli & mozzarella. Spinach and ricotta was delicious too. Aside from that, I also recommend their smoothies, which are refreshing, full of flavor, and very filling. The staff is really friendly and accommodating. We had lots of questions, and the woman who took our order was so helpful and upbeat. The interior of this place is clean and comfortable, but there isn't much space. Some seating inside and then some seating outside. You can always order to pick up or get delivery. I LOVE the brick wall and high ceilings of the space. Note: No bathroom inside since it's a quick-serve. read more

Recently had an event catered by this place. The delivery was on time and I had no problems. Would definitely order from yall again. Everyone loved the empanadas. The only issue was that we ordered a variety of empanadas and the pans weren't labeled so we had no idea what was what. This is not the first time that I've dealt with this. read more

Fresh and hot always and kids love them. They have the best beef and vegetarian choices I would give them 4.5

This place is really cool I like the vibe. You can eat inside the service was fantastic. I had the chicken bacon Monterey Jack cheese empanadas and they were delicious. read more

This is you bang for buck cheap eats spot where every penny was worth it. Found the area when I was causally in Near Prospect Park area. The establishment looks like it should be in Jersey City/Hoboken with well decorated, spacious store front. Ton of filling options - ground beef, cheese, veggies for 2 bucks each. And specialty one for 3. I had the ropa vieja and chicken. They were extraordinary! Sauce is .25 a pack, get the avocado sauce, you will be glad you did. read more

I'm absolutely obsessed with empanada city! I've been ordering from them on a weekly basis at this point. It's my Sunday afternoon treat. My favorite empanadas are the pastelon and plain chicken. They're just so juicy and flavorful! Super recommend! read more

This is my second time ordering and both times they forgot to send the sauce (that you have to order and pay for). The empanadas are nicely fried and well filled. All the fillings are tasty. Prices are not bad, especially for the size of the empanada. Our favorites are the cuban and the cheeseburger. You cant go wrong with any of them. The cuban tastes like a delicious cuban sandwich with the generous amount of pork. The cheeseburger empanada tastes like you are biting into a flame broiled cheeseburger, so tasty! Look forward to ordering again read more

I had been dying to come here for roughly 3 years and finally arrived today! It was delicious! They require masks, have plexiglass along the counter, and allow only two customers inside at a time so they are definitely practicing safety! I got four empanadas since it was around dinner time but I think I would've been fine with three! I ordered the plain chicken, ropa vieja, pizza, and Sweet Plantain & Cheese. I think the sweet plantain and cheese was my favorite! The people working were kind and patient! The woman who was helping me talked me through what the most popular choices were and all about their rewards program, which was great- now I'm signed up! My only regret was not buying sauces but they were still delicious even without the sauce. I also got the pina colada(no alcohol) but super delicious still! Also each empanada has a letter combo stamped into it that correlated to the flavor so that you can figure out what the flavor is when you get home! read more

If I could I'd eat here everyday. And I've gotten pretty close over the past few weeks. The plain chicken is my favorite my goal is to go through the whole menu *heart emoji* read more

I stopped by here Monday afternoon and ordered the bacalao, shrimp, and pastelon empanadas. I enjoyed each one! The pastelon was more on the sweeter side because of the plantains inside. The shrimps were juicy and flavorful. The bacalao was probably my favorite. They all came out piping hot and I could tell they were just made. The hot sauce that I got was actually really hot and added a nice kick to my empanadas. I wanted to try the avocado sauce but they were all out. Maybe next time since I'll definitely be returning! read more

oh my god, the best Empanadas i ever had. very close to home, been going here for about the part 7 years. the seats are quite messy and not much cleaning on the seats and tables but very good. do recommend! the lady in the purple hair is very nice, go here get the cheese + pizza empanada or mac n cheese with avocado sauce. the best! read more

A Prospect Lefferts Gardens staple. Always reliable, accurate, and DELICIOUS. I went and picked up shrimp empanadas and tried out the Americana empanada (VERY GOOD) the other day - I didn't make it out of the outdoor seating because I knew it would slap as always. Ate everything on their cute patio space because I couldn't wait until I got home. Shrimp empanada with a little avocado sauce and pink sauce is the BEST. The empanadas are conveniently labeled on the crust part in the corner so you can distinguish between different empanada flavors. read more

This spot has a range of empanadas from savory to sweet. It was actually my first time trying a dessert type of empanada and I just and it it was delicious. I had both the guava and the applied pie and honestly, I can eat like 40 of them if I had the chance lol the menu is extensive so there's no way you can try them all in one sitting, I mean I guess for some people you can but that was a challenge I did not want to take on. I had the 100% beef which was just that, only ground beef, no seasoning, no salt and pepper, garlic, onion, nothing-- so brace yourself for that. The chicken, shrimp, steak and onions were all amazing though. Well seasoned and perfectly fried. I will definitely be back here. Empanadas are always the defect snack or meal read more

One of my go-to spots in the area. I usually get 2 for a light snack and 4 for a meal. My favorites are their Pastelon (beef, sweet plantains, mozzarella) and Signature Chicken (chicken, tomato, bacon, jack cheese). They even have Shrimp cooked in a light tomato sauce inside their usual crispy flakey empanada shells. They recently raised the price so it's $3.50 for a Signature and $2.50 for a basic empanada. Sauces are 25 cents but they're in the tiny cup-like plastic containers that are horrendous for dipping. Their empanadas are juicy enough for me that I usually skip the sauces but my friends disagree. And don't forget to sign up for their free rewards program: after 5 visits ($5 min), you'll get 20% off the next purchase! read more

It's friggin delicious. Found the place when I was looking for an apartment a few years ago. Didn't get the apartment but found this new place I've had the shrimp and sMackin Cheese and it's yummy. Tried saving them for when I got home but that didn't happen. I like the fact they brand the empanadas so you know what you're eating instead of biting into it (especially good for those who have allergies). Anyway yummy in my tummy. Try it if your in Bklyn read more

With about 20 options to choose from there's an empanada for everyone here! Ropa vieja was my favorite, followed by bacalao, then pastelon. Wasn't a huge fan of pastelon cause there was too much plantain and not enough meat so it was very sweet. Also the empanadas are on the smaller side, 3 was just barely enough to get me full and I definitely could've gone for a 4th. Would highly recommend getting the avocado sauce and the heat sauce. Service was quite fast. Overall would recommend if you're in the area! read more

NOT LIKE EMPANADA MAMA -------------------------- The experience was ok. If you are eating on the go, it has lots of choices to choose from. However, some of my empanadas where very oily and small for my like. The bacalao empanana was too salty. The cod fish needed to be rinse off longer. The pastelon, and the ropa vieja where delicious. I will give them another try but next time I will be getting out of the car myself instead of my son and make sure they are not soaking in oil. read more

Just WOW! Probably the best empanadas in Brooklyn! Super stuffed and moist fillings no matter what you order. Ropa vieja : Tender shreds of steak with peppers and onions, I mean how can that be wrong. Pastelon : My new favorite! Beef plantains and mozzarella cheese....the sweetness from the plantains with the beef and chew of the mozzarella is really the perfect combination of all three ingredients. Chicken : Grilled chicken with bacon and Monterey Jack cheese, come on, it was good before I even had a bite. Next order I'm just going to have to try them all. read more

Soooo visited on my walk home from the train. I had been waiting to visit it for sooo long. Their is a huge lack of Latin/spanish food in the area. Its sorta tucked away slightly off the beaten path on lincoln. First off this place is beautiful. It seats about 20 inside and 4-6 outside. Its really clean and looks as if it may eventually have a bar. So the empanadas are good but they have sooo much more potential. Compared to other empanadas their isnt that much filling inside the signature empanadas. The filling was good just not enough of it. It mades the emapandas not as good because the crispy crust to filling ratio is off. The ropa vieja filling was delish, very well seasoned. Its my favorite actually. The apple empanada was the same and I appreciated that it wasnt over sweetened with added sugar. The veggie empanada isnt a stand out but servicable if you dont eat meat. I really didnt like the spinach and ricotta empanada but thats my fault not theirs. It is pretty heavy on the ricotta and I dont really like ricotta but wanted to give it a chance. OH and they stamp all their empanadas with initials so you know whats what. They have some sauces. I tried their spicy sauce. It wasnt that spicy to me but what do I know Im Jamaican lol. The standout sauce is the avocado garlic, its reallly good with everything. I was tempted to put it on my apple empanada. They also have reallllly affordable smoothies. The strawberry banana was good. read more

This place gives you the feels of being elsewhere. It is a cute modern store with friendly staff. I ordered four empanadas to go- the Cuban, pastelon, Ropa vieja and bacalao. My favorite was the pastelon. And the avocado sauce! dynamite. Really inexpensive too. I can see this being a neighborhood staple. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat - just happened to be in the area and wanted something tasty. Upon entering no one said hello or offered to take my order. Waited a minute or two until one of the ladies finally acknowledged me. I ended up ordering two empanadas, the Sweet Plantain & Cheese and the Ground Beef. The wait was reasonable, about 10 minutes. I also asked for a side of avocado sauce for an additional 25 cents . Both empanadas were tasty but I liked the plantain one more because of the sweet and savory combo. Overall the empanadas were good but the ladies at the front desk could smile a little more and not look so uptight. read more

It was my first time trying them out but surely not my last! I visited with my mom, who never had an empanada. We ordered the pastelon, ground beef, plain chicken, shrimp and broccoli/cheese. They all were so flavorful and the crispy on the outside. My only real complaint was they were small and I wanted more; I also recommend using one of the dips with the ground beef one, as flavorful as it is, it needed some moisture since it's only filled with beef. I will definitely be going back to try more!!! read more

I have ordered here with a friend at least twice now and I love them! They have seating inside- small but cute. Staff are super friendly and they have SO many flavors that there is something for everyone. I've lost track of how many flavors I've tried so far but the sweet plantain and cheese one is my favorite! All their empanadas are also cooked perfectly, you can't go wrong with this spot! What I really love about them- they label the empanadas, so if you have a large batch you will be able to identify what flavor each one is. Deff check this spot out! read more

I ordered three different types: chicken, guava and spinach. I have had all three before and have immensely enjoyed them. However, I didn't like the taste of the spinach tonight. I did like the chicken and loved the guava, which is my favorite. read more

Las últimas dos veces que he ordenado de este establecimiento (junio y julio), terminé la noche vomitando las empanadas de carne y Ropa Vieja. La carne no fue cocida bien y son muy grasosas. Después de vomitar los mismos productos dos veces--aparte, su servicio al cliente deja mucho por desear--no voy a comprar de acá de nuevo. La forma en que empacan las empanadas no es organizado. Por qué ponen 3 en la misma bolsita chorreado aceite? Por qué no separan la carne del marisco? Para mi mamá, el bacalao estaba agrio y la empanada de camarón no le caía bien tampoco; ella tuvo diarrea. read more

This place has been fairly reliable but today I placed and order, got home, realized, I'd not got what I ordered and called in to ask what to do. I guess they were about to close so they didn't care. I go there because my kid likes it but I am not so sure anymore. At the very least give me the other empanada you owe me. I paid for 7 and only got 6 :( read more

Empanada City - I ordered ropa vieja, shrimp, and cuban. I got some kind of mozarella thing, shrimp, and some kind of mushy plantain thing. Boo! - Empanadas Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The best tasting empanadas I had in a long time. I especially loved the pastelon one was sweet and savory and all around delicious

I've ordered from Empanada City a few times. Unfortunately I will never go back. Last Sunday (11/20) my boyfriend had ropa vieja empanadas and got the worst food poisoning either of us have ever seen. He started experiencing horrible stomach pains about an hour after eating them, and was vomiting incessantly for quite some time. We had to take him to the emergency room because he was so dehydrated. While there, he experienced temporary paralysis throughout his entire body and could not stand or feel anything. The doctors attributed this to the severity of his dehydration from the food poisoning. He had to spend an entire night in the ER and was given fluids and medication to combat the sickness. I cannot go back knowing that someone made such a reckless oversight and served food that was clearly contaminated. read more

I enjoyed these empanadas! A little small for what you pay for but they are delicious. Eat them while they are still hot. I got chicken and ricotta. Will definitely be back! read more

This is a cute place to go and grab something quick. I came here from the recommendation of my friend. We had chicken, broccoli and cheese, Cuban, and beef empanada. All were great. The broccoli one was very good, as was the chicken. The Cuban was good, and more expensive than the others. The chicken and beef was $2 and the Cuban was $3. I'm unsure how much the broccoli one was tho. I'd recommend if you're craving something fast. They also fry them fresh to order which is the best. read more

I consider South Florida my home, which means I consider empanadas home. And these empanadas are great. Perfectly stuffed, no room for air pockets and wonderful flavor. I'm quickly becoming a regular here. I've tried the pastelon, ropa vieja, guava & cheese, Cuban, plantain & cheese. All of them are great but I have to say pastelon and ropa vieja are my favorites! They also have a great rewards program too, ask about it. read more

Anxiously awaited the opening of this place in Bushwick, found out they did online delivery. Have ordered multiple times during quarantine. I've ordered the cheese, apple pie, pizza, cubano, chicken, and shrimp varieties, loved every single one. My only nitpick is that I wish they would label the little bags with the type of empanada when you have a multi-empanada order. Especially when you get a combination of savory/sweet empanadas. Otherwise I have no complaints, I would definitely recommend the heat sauce and the pink sauce! Worth the extra quarters for sure read more

I love this place because of their amazing empanadas !!!! However the staff there is extremely lazy! Yesterday I placed and order and the girl didn't even want her up to take care of me because she was too busy on her phone. I'm sure the owner doesn't pay her to be on her phone. Hope staff gets a training to be more courteous specially since tip is always given when I go there on a weekly basis. read more
