Great selection of food for breakfast, lunch, or diner. The burgers are great but even better are the empanadas. Staff is friendly and the service is quick. This is one of our family favs in the neighborhood. read more

By far the worse place ever..unproffessional garbage..messed up my order 2×,had ne waiting 40 min for 10 empanadas that they got wrong...and tried to overcharge me...horrible place!!! read more

Me this place is great. Lots of options for different tastes. Hidden gem in park slope. Maria was also super pleasant and created an awesome environment for a dine in experience. read more

Very disappointed with my delivery from Empanada Loca. I ordered delivery which took far over an hour. I ordered and paid for guacamole which they forgot to put in my delivery bag. My street corn had more mayo than cheese. The sweet potato fries were weathered and looked like two day old fries not to mentioned they were also cold. The empanadas were okay, nothing to boast about but not very satisfying either. My burger order was fine except for bun itself; farrrrr to greasy to finish. It was even greaser then the empanadas (of course you expect empanadas to be greasy) they're fried. It's a shame, I did have hopes for this place. I regret not taking pictures. read more

The food here is good, but I would never, under any circumstances, order delivery from this place if you're starving or pressed for time. I ordered from this place through Seamless and it took two and a half hours to get to me. I only live a mile and a half away from the place. Delivery is supposed to be more convenient, but I could have walked to this place, ate in, and walked back home in less than two and a half hours. They either need to give honest delivery estimates, fix whatever's wrong with their delivery system, or stop offering it altogether. I'm giving two stars, rather than one, because the empanadas are very good, even though they're small. In the future, I may eat in if I'm in the neighborhood. read more

In a city overrun by buzzy, overpriced brunch spots, Empanada Loca is a refreshing oasis of reasonably priced plates, delicious foods, and excellent service. I came in on a Sunday afternoon, was seated immediately, and our server was thorough, professional, and accommodating of our large group and our complex orders. Next time you're in South Slope, skip the bodega sandwich and go to Empanada Loca for a bacon, egg, and cheese on an arepa. 10/10, will definitely be returning regularly. read more

Was up here for a concert and came across this empanada place .... loved it authentic and original great waitress and food tried four of manny empanadas from the menu all great read more

Some of the blandest Latin American food I've tasted. Which is weird because I thought the ingredients are pretty decent quality. They really need to brush up on how to use seasonings. My suggestion is to go down to Colombia for two weeks; visit a few towns and cities and taste the variety of staples; like arepas,empanadas, cafe con leche and so on. Get a taste for the Taste. For example: serve hogao with those corn arepas and pork belly. Hogao is a frigging life saver. And make sure when you deep fry the pork belly that it's fresh and seasoned, rather than blandly cooked and reheated. The same with the empanadas; season, season and season! read more

Delicious quesadillas & cheese empanadas! The perfect lunch or dinner!

My favorite empanadas! I used to live right next door, and I think I went through a serious "withdrawl" when I moved:) I still drop by when I'm in the neighborhood. The cheese oven baked wheat empanadas are amazing; haven't found anything even close. The chicken soup is also great, but they don't always have it. My order has been wrong a few times, so now I just check before I leave. It's definitely not the worst thing, as anything I've had from there has been really good. read more

LOVE empanada loca! So happy it moved into the neighborhood. Huge variety of delicious empanadas (I love the bacon cheeseburger and toro the best) along with traditional breakfast treats. Good price point, wonderful service, two big thumbs up! read more

Empanadas were fresh and the fillings were flavorful. They're made to order, so order ahead if you're in a rush, or be prepared to wait for these golden delicious pockets of joy. The one with the seafood in it was tasty, and so was the Philly cheese steak empanada. Quite affordable, and 3 had me satisfied. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

Great place excellent food and service. I had one of the best brunches I have had in a long time. Can't wait to go back soon. I had the steak and eggs very tasty the Romanian steak was marinated and it had great flavor. My wife got the French toast loca it was out of this world. The homemade sauces are really good read more

Absolutely the best empanadas in the NYC area. They are consistently delicious, fresh, and awesome!

Stopped here with my husband after our weekly target run and was ready to be blown away. The staff was warm and welcoming and despite the mess from the construction/delivery they were handling we were impressed. We started a off with the Mexican street corn and chicken empanada. Both were barely bite size and nothing to write home about. Surprisingly enough my husband and I both ordered the same entree (half chicken with rice and beans). What we got were undercooked pieces of grilled chicken on a mountain of rice and beans. We let the owner/manager know that the chicken was undercooked and upon his "investigation" assured us the meat was fully cooked. This coming from someone who apparently just finished culinary school. I figured he would want to know his staff was plating raw chicken but I guess he didn't want to hear it. Still we wanted to save the night so we ordered some flan and hoped it would tilt things in their favor. Wrong again! A bite size Oreos sized flan smothered in syrup was the perfect ending to a nightmare meal. When it was all said and done the manager informed me the flan would be removed from the bill as a way of thanking us for the "undercooked but not really undercooked" chicken we couldn't eat. Honestly we didn't complain for a discount or to have anything comped but rather to educate an owner on the quality of food being served. Hopefully our next visit will result in a positive update. read more

I stopped in for lunch today and had amazing empanadas and even better service. I would absolutely stop here again for an affordable and filling lunch. The owner, George, was friendly and treated me to free empanadas! Everyone should try this local lunch spot ASAP! read more

This place has an amazing variety of Spanish food. I love their empanadas as well. Service was great and the food was out of this world! I highly recommend this spot!!!!! read more

Yummiest chicken empanadas and mint lemonade!! Along with guac and plantain chips :))

My colleagues and I ordered here many times and so far, we are impressed (but not impressed with delivery times!) I have tried the El Nino (seafood ), Andres (that was by accident, lol but it was good), la nina, and corn flour chicken empanadas which were all pretty good. They are oily but they are good. I also had the egg omelet on three occasions which was delicious. Unfortunately, the empanadas are three bucks each so i f you order two or three, that should hold you over till dinner time. The only con is the delivery time but hopefully it gets better. read more

Ordered from here a few weeks ago, felt bad because it was a numerous amount of different empanadas. Lady was super nice over the phone. Each empanada was separately and labeled to ensure everyone got the right one. Will be ordering again soon! Thanks read more

Don't go to this place. Came to pickup a sandwich and some empanadas and literally waited 45 mins even though hardly anyone was in the restaurant. Finally got my food, went home, and realized THEY GAVE ME THE WRONG SANDWICH. Worst experience ever. Never going back. read more

Paid for empanadas, waited for empanadas, empanadas never came, ill prepared to serve its guests, left the cash and didn't bother with the refund, my time was wasted, what a joke!! read more

Great brunch spot! The food is delicious! You can find a little of each Latin American country here. Try Tacu Tacu and Pollo Mole Emplanada. The service is superb read more

I loved everything we ordered. I just wish I found you sooner. We're flying home tomorrow.

Drinks and food is good....Everything does taste homemade which is cool

Omg my husband and I went here for a quick lunch and the food exceeded our expectations.. Everything was homemade and fresh.. Our service was incredible.. this is definitely our new " go to" place read more

Ok don't know where to begin! But I had it today for the first time and all I gotta say.... no greasy dripping all over the place mess!!! It stays in the empanada and in your mouth! Flavor outta control!!! Try try try!!! read more

Amazing empanadas - fresh out of the kitchen these pockets of flavorful bliss really makes your day. The restaurant is really chill and lets you seat yourselves. Use the yelp coupon for buy 1 empanada get one free! So awesome to have this deal since 2 empanadas fill you up for a meal. I had the chili corn based empanada - it's definitely not that spicy and it was a legit chili party in there with the beef all soaked up in the tomato base. The other one I had was a chicken empanada which wasn't as memorable, but the free sauces that they give definitely makes you want to come back for more. I am literally drooling right now for one! read more

Im giving 3 stars because service is usually good for the few times ive gone there .,., and i beleive every restaurant may have a bad day so i gave this place a few try's first time was good i got a little excited when i found out they have colombian food and i would always reccomend friends to places cause they know i like to eat and they live right up the block from this place .,(they havent returned).,.,so i had the traditional colombian dish i had like a stuffed arepa that aparently they didnt make the 3rd time i went,. i ordered alot of food for myself like i usually do cause il try half of a menu when theres a new place and im colombian and im used to the dishes in queens so the 2nd time it was, ehh , the steak looked like 2 random peices of left over steak put together and nothing tasted the same and 3rd time i wasnt crazy about it so i havent returned i like that they have some sodas not to many places in the neighborhood have im going to return 1 of these days i pass it all the time going to get food.,., i eat out alot and i want to try it again (eventually) read more

There is only one place that i go to eat for empanadas and its here! I don't go anywhere else. Every time i order for a pick up or delivery its a great experience each time, and when I go to sit in, its even better! I been on a diet starting the beginning of the year, and whenever i do allow myself to have a cheat meal, this is where i go each and every time. And its worth it each and every time. There are so many different types of empanadas, but my absolute favorite ones are the dessert one. I probably eat a good 4 of the dessert empanadas one alone. This is definitely a place i would recommend anyone and everyone to go, if you are around the neighborhood, or you would like to branch out of your normal day to day lunch places. read more

Food is Delicious! Small, very clean, nice little dining room. Fast service and polite staff. Great prices and great flavor. The only bad thing is that nothing seems to be spicy. It's all very mild (well seasoned but no heat) at least nothing I've had. Still great food and I'll be back. read more

I've eaten here twice. The empanadas are decent. It's cool you can get such a variety if you like your empanadas fried. I really wish they offered the baked ones in the same varieties and quiet honestly I don't know why they don't. They lose like half a star for that. When I ordered from them last night (via seamless) they only sent me two out of the several empanadas that I ordered. The rest of them were random ones that I didn't order at all. and it wasn't even the right amount of empanadas.! When I called the manager was pretty nice but it took nearly an hour to get the right order delivered. Super annoying but tasty none the less. read more

Ordered 3 empanadas to go and were very good. Service was quick, empanadas were tasty. Good place to grab a quick empanada to go.

Wow. These were good! Dined in with the family and had a bunch: chicken with sofrito, chorizo and Oaxaca cheese, and more. The kids loved them and so did we. They came out piping hot and delicious. We also had a salad, which you wouldn't think to order at a place like this, but it was fresh and you get to customize your veggies. Will definitely be back! read more

I like to give credit where it's due, however, I was seriously disappointed with my first order. After debating if I wanted to deviate from my local Hispanic restaurants, I had ordered a philly empanada and decided to have an open mind. To meet the minimum I ordered chicken nachos and saw that it was lacking is some very basic elements within the dish. Here's my take on this, the empanada is $3 and its tiny. It's seasoned well but size is everything. I come from a Hispanic background and I was very disappointed the with size. For $3, I can order 2 from another location who serves an empanada 3-4x the size. The nachos were approx $15 and it was a lackluster food. If I wouldn't have asked for pico de gallo, it would've been dry. If you're going to be in a market which is extremely competitive with its Mexican plates, take hints from Spiro Cafe & Pizza on 5th avenue and pour on the sour créme, beans, pico de gallo, cheese, guacamole. If I could regurgitate my food to get a refund, I would. Now, I believe in 2nd and 3rd chances as certain dishes are probably not done well and others are. So, I will be trying other dishes. Nachos and empanadas are not a strong suit, and the worse part is, that's the name of the business. For people like myself who enjoy bola rellena (stuffed meat potato balls), alcapurria's (green bananas and yautia (taro root) stuffed with meat), a small recommendation to your business, make different size Empanadas. read more

Ordered delivery on a Sunday night starving while studying for finals but the estimated delivery time was an hour long. I ordered it anyways since I live about 10 minutes walking distance away and hoped it would arrive sooner. An hour and a half later, I call to see if my order is on its way. I was lied to and was told it would arrive in about 5 minutes. Two and a half hours later and I am still waiting. I call again and was told the same thing. I finally receive my food almost three hours after I ordered it. It would have taken less time for me to walk to the restaurant, eat, and walk home. Two stars because the food itself was pretty good, but I won't be ordering from here ever again. read more

The food is pretty good but the girl in the front follow me on tiktok @SauxyTV.....yes it's me

First time going there and I must say I was impressed with the food..Very tasty and delicious..I've driven by and didn't know what to expect..Service was great and prices were reasonable..Will definitely be back in the future.. read more

I love this place--ironically, I've never eaten the empanadas. I usually get a nice big house salad and sweet potato fries, which are just that--no crusty coatings or batters, just pure sweet potato, with the skins on, like God intended. This last visit I upgraded my salad with grilled chicken, which can be a gamble; will it be spongy? crunchy? chicken? I chose wisely, because it was perfect; slightly garlicy, nicely charred and juicy. I noticed they give the option of having burgers and hot dogs on arepas instead of buns--so you can can enjoy the classics gluten-free, without the standard $2.00 surcharge of an Udi's bun. I cannot stress enough how friendly the staff is. I've been in here at least 5 times, and it's always a pleasure interact with these guys. This is the kind of place I'd bring my parents to when they come to visit Brooklyn. read more

We needed 90 Empanadas for a party - meat and vegetarian. Due to various transportation problems we were not able to pick them up at the agreed upon time and George got worried they would be cold by the time the party started. He promised to keep them warm in the kitchen as long as possible. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness! As it turned out, we had to have them delivered after all, and they arrived all in order and in labeled boxes. And they were GOOD. I think my favorite was the pernil. But they were all tasty! People asked for the vendor's address and I gladly supplied it! read more
