Drove by this food truck & managed to convince my boyfriend to stop and grab a few empanadas for a snack. The lunch/dinner special is $12 for 3 regular empanadas, 2 sides, and a soda - truly a steal!!! We ordered the beef, pork, & chicken to try the different fillings, and they did not disappoint. Each empanada is fried to order and piping hot, and the fillings are generous and perfectly seasoned. I surprisingly liked the shredded chicken the most, but really any of the 3 were good. The salsa verde for the empanadas is to die for, & really packs a spicy punch!! We shared an order, but for 1 person, this would definitely suffice as an entire meal. I guess I've found my go to empanada spot!! Will be returning in the near future to try the other fillings! read more

Empanada Queen - Tostones, maduros, and 3 empanadas (beef, chicken, pork) - Food Trucks Near Me - Baldwin, New York

Anytime I go to PepBoys, I come here. We love these delicious freshly made empanadas. Today we ordered the lunch special with 3 tacos, 2 sides and a can of soda for $13. The service was quick. In less than 10 mi my order was ready. It was still warm when I reached home. I love the chairs they set outside for customers to wait but it was too hot for that and I waited in my car. Stop by and support this small business. You won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing food! The pernil with cheese, oh my gooooodnessss *drools everywhere* Can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu. read more

I remember their empanadas being so much better pre COVID. Bought 4 today - cost me $15. Which is pretty ridiculous, considering the size. The empanada dough tasted really old too. Not worth it if you're looking for lunch in the area. read more

Great empanadas, I have yet to try one I didn't like. They don't even take that long, I have zero complaints, nothing but good experiences here, you should give it a shot! read more

Outstanding empanadas at a very solid price with even better deals once you hit round numbers. Great lunch deal and incredibly quick. These people got it right and I'm so thrilled I work close enough to patronize their truck read more

Really good and convenient empanada food truck for those looking for a quick bite or are on the go! They have great options from empanadas to sides. I usually have always gotten the lunch/dinner special which is 3 empanadas, 2 sides and a soda for ~$10 -- awesome deal. Their food is very traditional, flavorful and fresh. Just a heads up, they don't accept the "check in offer" for 2 free empanadas. Apparently they've discontinued it for 6 months but it's still on here. read more

Empanada Queen is a staple on the South Shore. Having been located on the Eastbound side of NY 27 (sunrise hwy usually between Lynbrook & Freeport) for the past couple of years, they have developed quite a following. It is always a pleasure to support a family owned business & they are especially kind people. The empanadas are by far, some of the freshest & best I have had. I truly can say we have never been disappointed. My personal favorites are their shredded chicken & their Nutella Banana dessert empanadas. The sides are all outrageously good as well. I recommend the tostones which are perfectly cooked & never too greasy. Beans & rice are a must. Maduros, a little greasy but always cooked @ perfect over-ripeness. If you find yourself passing through Baldwin/Freeport area on Sunrise Highway, do yourself a favor, check the menu (combo deals/quantity discounts), call ahead, & pick up your order @ the big red hummer with matching trailer. You literally cannot miss it. On less windy days they have a big flag/sign that says empanadas. read more

Super convenient and tasty! The pork and chicken were great! The PB&J was a little weird, I don't know if I'd get it again. The taste combination of the empanada skin and the PB&J was a little off putting + the fact that chunky peanut butter is used. But other than that, the other flavors were great! I'll definitely get more. read more

Honestly, I ordered food, and this lady swore I'd run off with food that wasn't even in my hand. Idk what type of psd situation she had in the post, but I paid her and watched her every move. People love this place... To be transparent ...its okay. Woohoo! You can make your empanadas and be just fine with the supplies at any local supermarket. If you lazy ...spend a couple of dollars here, I guess. You won't be mad, but like you might be... but whatever . Enjoy it, people are starving everywhere. read more

The empanadas are amazing! The lunch special is $12 and I got a mac and cheese, veggie, & apple/cinnamon empanada with rice and maduros on the side plus a can of soda. The veggie one had so much more flavor than one I got somewhere else so I was really happy about that. My boyfriend also got the lunch special and a nutella banana empanada which was so yummy! Forgot to take a picture of the food because we were so hungry and ate the food in the car lol. Definitely coming back again :) read more

This place is a rip off they are expensive and there's barely a tablespoon of meat in there! I mean come on look at this flat thing and that was the middle of it! You better eat at Burger King before u go because those poor excuse for an empanada aren't going to fill you! Never again read more

The empanadas were delicious. I ordered all different flavors so we could try a bunch of different flavors. They were the best ones I've had so far. They were ready fairly fast, and the lady at the window was really nice. This is a food truck so there is really no ambiance. I don't mind tailgating with these empanadas! read more

Kinda expensive for empanadas, but they did have good flavor, I would go back and try some of their sides.

Pretty good empanadas. I'm not sure if they ever switch around their location but when I went there it was parked by the Pep Boys in Baldwin. It was a short wait when there was no one else on line - maybe about five or six minutes before I receive my order. The woman serving them was very nice. I'd definitely stop by again. read more

For a food truck, the food is great! I have been wanting to write a review for Empanada Queen since last year! Ever since they started occupying their spot on Sunrise Highway, I knew this joint would have amazing food. They are literally right around the corner from my house in North Baldwin. There are not too many empanada places in Nassau County. They have dessert empanadas too and they're the BOMB!! Their lunch and dinner deal caught my eye immediately: 3 empanadas of choice, 2 sides, and a drink. One disclosure, they close by 5 PM :(. So if I'm out of work by 4 pm in Levittown, I make sure I get there before they close! :) Oh! And now they accept credit cards as a form of payment, they used to only accept cash so that's a plus! :) read more

I thought I had the best empanadas at mamas empanadas until I found this hidden gem randomly driving down sunrise highway. The best empanadas I had hands down. You can tell they are made from love. I really like that there's so much to choose from and the option to make it a meal and get different options. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place!! read more

Best empanadas!! You won't regret. It's definitely worth it. Best empanadas in LI for sure.

These are absolutely fantastic empanadas! I am also excited about their dessert empanadas especially Nutella and banana! These are a little far but definitely worth the trip especially for dinner parties and holidays. read more

AMAZING!!!! I've literally gone out of my way to stop at this food truck the Mac and cheese is to die for! The buffalo chicken is amazing I've never been disappointed this is absolutely one of the food trucks you need to try on Long Island if you can catch them your lucky I've missed them a few times myself but when you can actually grab them (as they are always busy) consider yourself lucky read more

You Have to try these EMPANADAS!!!!! You will like these!.. Amazing! The desserts are amazing too! Stop by this food trailer and you will be back. read more

Location on the side of Sunrise Hwy, one star. FOOD FIVE STARS! Worst problem is that the hotter they are, the better they are, so you wind up having to eat them in the car. Reasonably priced and so so good. Staff was patient and friendly read more

Best Empanadas in town and you won't be disappointed!! I do recommend calling ahead if you want to decrease your wait.

This Truck is more than a Truck... it screams 'try me now'! One of if not the best Empanadas in all of Long Island. My experience undoubtedly glorified by the taste of each Empanada! A bit small and pricey but well worth it. read more

The food is great!!! Empanadas are flavorful and worth the money. The service is another story. I've called and asked about booking catering and each time was yelled at by a rude and unprofessional employee. Who says "No you can't speak to a manager?" What type of employee tried to keep their boss off the phone and won't share catering opportunities. They are only hurting your business...not helping. Poor customer service. read more

Heaven on earth!!! Epic, mouthwatering and delicious empanadas. Beef, Chicken, Mac and Cheese, Cinnamon Apple! Endless delicious twists of the legendary Hispanic pastry. A must try! read more

Empanada Queen - Apple / Cinnamon empanada!!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Baldwin, New York

Came back and tried all the empanadas after a delicious first try. The wait time is minimal, especially considering you get some fiery hot empanadas for just a few minutes of standing around. I had an opportunity to try one of each empanada, and the tostones. The beef was probably the favorite, followed by the chick and mac n' cheese (very rich and delicious). A surprising contender was the turkey empanada--definitely worth getting again. The shrimp was the least favorite, but only because there was a spice (I can't put my finger on it) that we weren't a fan of. Otherwise, if you happen to enjoy seafood, worth a try. read more

Not impressed at all, is a quick bite but definitely not the best empanadas in LI I was able to taste the old oil the food may be fresh but the oil is been working in the fryer for days I had a meat empanada read more

I used to eat their food prior to Covid. However I went back today and I noticed the cashier and the cook not wearing a mask!!! The only thing they use for social distancing is the plastic partition at the window. I refuse to eat food from a place that don't practice FULL SOCIAL DISTANCING!! Wear a damn mask. I'm better off going to Jessie's Empanadas!v read more

This food trick had the most AMAZING MAC n cheese empanadas. Unbelievable that this comes from a food truck!! zthe cinnamon was also a nice treat read more

Excellent empanadas! They are all great, whichever flavor you choose. Highly recommended

Empenada Queen has the actual best empenadas that I have tried in the area. To start, the empenadas have a crispy golden outside, just the perfect crust. And the insides are even better. The beef was seasoned perfectly. The seasoning made the meat even better and more savory. This was coupled with the delicious citrus and spice of the sauce which comes along with them. I would also recommend the chicken, the pork, and even the cheese empanadas. The cheese surprised me with how good it was. I would definitely recommend and would definitely return. read more

Tasty and a great lunch combo. My only complaint is that the lunch combo sides are very leanly shared. For 10 dollars they could certainly give you more. Otherwise, it's a clean, tasty & friendly experience. read more

I wasn't able to try the queens empanadas. Because I drove to all the way there within their hours of operations. Which I did by over an hour and the were closing up. And the nasty looks when I asked were not needed. I hope their cooking is better then their customer service skills. I found a good empanada place further down sunrise hwy in Freeport. read more

Some of if not the best empanadas in Long Island!! If you are driving on Sunrise in Baldwin while they're open definitely make a stop, if you know you're going to drive past it. Call in an order, they are quick efficient and delicious. After finishing boxing training in Freeport I called in my order of three empanadas, maduro and a water, it was ready in the 5-10 minutes it took me to get there. I ordered one of each chicken, beef and pork. All were amazing along with the maduro but the pork was my personal favorite. read more

Empanada Queen - Food Trucks Near Me - Baldwin, New York

First off it really tastes great! Fresh ingredients and clean taste The kitchen area is very clean which I am very finicky about The staff is very friendly and accommodating As far as value, I don't think you will find anything else that taste this delicious at any cost. So definitely worth it. Prices are actually extremely reasonable and the selection is very good. You don't need to travel to your favorite Latin country to get empanadas as superb as this. Lastly did I forget to say that it really tastes GREAT ! read more

Decided to give a try this Friday late afternoon based on the reviews. Well, I'm happy to say the empanadas lived up to the hype. I give them 2 thumbs up along with my 5 star rating. I drove from a few towns over and I'm glad it wasn't a waste of gas or a disappointment. Will be going back real soon! The truck says best empanadas on long island and I would definitely agree. The empanadas are very flavorful. I ordered a 15 box containing a sample of chicken,beef,pork,vegetables,mac n cheese,shrimp,and desert ones of apple n cinnamon, pineapple n coconut. Just wish they had a black bean and rice as an additional option for vegan/vegetarians. Other than that I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Ordered 2 meals - with tostones, rice, beef empanada, shrimp empanada, and cheese. I must say for my first time trying them, they are very very very good!
