    Such good affordable food Such personal and friendly service. Such a cool food truck. I must have driven by this food truck a hundred times and not seen it. But once I found it, I have been by two more times. Plenty of parking. Service (by the owner) is amazing. But the food: Empanadas are the way to go, but there are other options. Tomato and Mozzarella Empanada - sublime. Spinach Empanada - solid choice, I just love the tomato and mozzarella better. Chicken - good, but look for specials Burnt Ends - wowza, really unique a d delicious. Strawberries and Cream - another one of that is delicious and inventive. Run don't walk, Empanada are only $4 each at this time.

    Empanada Lady Food truck hit the spot on the beautiful, sunny Sunday! Some friends had recommended I check them out so we found them at their usual spot on San Jose Blvd. They opened promptly at 10am. At first glance, the truck is so cute. I appreciate a good graphic design. It was on their truck and packaging. I was greeted by a friendly face. She was helpful in describing the day's specials. We ordered a boxful of savory and sweet empanadas: Beef, seasoned to absolute perfection! Shredded chicken, with onions and peppers. Hot and juicy! I always have to try the meatless option.. Spinach and cheese was great. The street corn empanada was one of my faves! And the guava and cheese satisfied my sweet tooth. Delicious! We waited a few minutes, as we were told they were cooked to order. Fresh and hot! There was one covered picnic table. We came with my pup so we just parked the car and opened the back for an impromptu parking lot picnic. It was awesome! There was also a local artist, selling paintings so that was nice to see as well. Can't wait to try the Sausage & plantain and strawberries & cream next time. Thank you for an outstanding experience!

    Those 'nadas are worth mentioning. I got a trio of tomato and mozzarella, buffalo chicken, and beef. The first two are the owner's fave (and mine too), although the beef is a top seller. I think people get what's familiar, because that tomato mozzarella was incredible! The buffalo chicken was tender, seasoned well and had a nice kick.

    Absolutely some of the Best Empanadas in Jacksonville and Such an eclectic selection of Flavors for both savory and sweet. The Owner Cinthy is the friendliest person and put all her love into making her Hand-made Empanadas to serve them hot & fresh. Check her social media for her schedule changes and menu specials that tend to change weekly. Once you try her Empanadas, you'll compare every other Empanada to The Empanada Lady! Stop by and Tell her Big Rich Sent Ya

    The Owner & Family are so friendly. She really has a skill on making some delicious homemade Empanadas. Make sure if you're in Jax,Fl. You stop by. She is usually set up on San Jose Blvd. Big parking lot the Bealls Store was in, so lots of parking cute little sitting area to enjoy your food. Also make sure to follow her as she does set up in different locations. Support Small Businesses. Eat Empanadas

    Amazing empanadas and friendly service every time! The San Jose location during the week is very convenient for lunch on the go and has become a weekly stop for me.

I did a Google search for caterers in our area, and Catering by Liz popped up. She also came in as a strong recommendation from our aunt, as they catered to events that she had been to in the past and was impressed. So that sealed the deal and we went with Catering by Liz. We are so happy that we went with them. The service and professionalism are outstanding. Harmony was our point of contact and she did an amazing job. She is great with communication and always responded to our emails within 24 hours. She also accommodated our work schedule and was able to set up an appointment on a weekend for the tasting. The sample menu that they have is pretty extensive but not exhaustive. We chose some food items from their menu that went along with a Greek theme since we were married in Greece. We also requested to see if they could make some foods that we had while we were there. We showed Harmony pictures of the foods we wanted and told her what was in them and what they tasted like. She said she would forward it to the chefs to see if they could do it. We were so pleased when she emailed us to let us know that they were able to recreate the food items...and the food was perfect (if not better!) The guests at our party were in love with the food and kept raving about it. We also had a bar service set up where we provided our own booze and they provided the rest (bartender, glassware, ice, sodas, juices, etc.) The bar service was excellent and the guys working behind the bar were on point. I never saw a long line for drinks and everyone was happy with their drinks and the service. We are very, very pleased with the services that they provided (and at a very reasonable cost!), and will not hesitate to use them again to cater for any large parties that we may have!

He made a HUGE paella which fed 60 very happy guests with a great portion. The week before, they called me to confirm and Juan, the owner, let me know that he would be the chef the day of our event. I warned him that my mother is a very picky woman that's from Spain and that he would have his work cut out for him to impress her. He said he would be up for that challenge as he's from Valencia and has been making paella all of his life. Fast forward to the wedding, when we arrive at the reception space and are greeted by the most amazing smell of paella being cooked. The guests were in awe as they watched the chef finish making his masterpiece before their eyes. I felt bad for the guy as the before mentioned picky Spanish woman had arrived and was standing over his shoulder waiting for her chance! Moment of truth comes and the matriarch of our family tries the paella. Never before have I seen this woman finish her entire meal!! She was so impressed! Phew!! The paella was amazing, and the owner is a delight. We will definitely use him again for future events. If you are looking for a great caterer that will wow your guests, this is it! Juan and crew delivered!!
