They have a lot of different flavors to choose from as well as a dessert empanada. The staff was very sweet and explained the different menu options and combinations that you can get with the empanadas as well as drinks and sauces. They have a long list of Housemade sauces so I definitely recommend trying some. There was no indoor seating from what I saw, but there is plenty of outdoor seating right in front of the restaurant.

Each empanada was absolutely incredible!!! it is so hard to decide my favorite. The first one I ate (kids have shellfish allergies) was the Rasta Pasta, oh my, oh my , OH MY!! Please do not change the recipe! Absolutely delicious/perfect!! Did I mention, OH MY!! After basking with my tastebuds on the Rasta Pasta empanada, i returned to the sampling table and tried the Jerk Chicken empanada. SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!! Gave my son a hug for stumbling on a GOLDMINE All the other empanadas AWESOME!!! Working on how to bring these culinary delights to family down south,so we can share the wealth.

In a random parking lot in the middle of south jersey, I found the best empanadas on the planet!!! Food so good that I travel and hour each way, drop $100 each time, and am always extremely pleased. The owner isn't just a great guy but he's a mad genius. Things that I would've never thought to put in an empanada, he Severus Snapes it together and I've yet to have a bad one. Some examples: Chicken alfredo, Nashville hot chicken, roasted veggie, Philly cheesesteak, mac and cheese, Dubai chocolate, and Fruity Pebbles are just a few. So pack your pepper spray, and your narcan and prepare yourself for a taste sensation

This was my first visit. I tried the pulled pork rice plate which includes rice, beans and potato…read moresalad. Pulled pork was perfectly seasoned. I loved how moist and juicy the pork was. The potato salad was smooth with some chunks of potatoes and a light crunch from the veggies. My favorite was the beans that pair perfectly with the rice and meat! All this for only $12!!! Wow! I highly recommend it. I also tried their beef empanadas. They were excellent. They're fried to order and homemade. There's a lot of filling and the beef inside is perfectly seasoned. The last time I had empanadas this good was at my Puerto Rican friend's house where his grandma made them! A close second was in Rincon, Puerto Rico. These are that good. They're a must try. This a lovely local neighborhood corner takeout restaurant. You can call ahead to order your food to avoid the the wait. The owner and staff are all very friendly and happy to answer any questions and provide recommendations. They have a tv in the waiting area and some drinks for sale. Inside is very clean and everything looks new and well organized. The food all homemade and delicious. Portions are very generous and a great value for what the charge. I'm looking forward to trying more of their food. I highly recommend it! It's definitely worth a trip to check it out. Support your local restaurants.

On a…read moreweekend trip I did not see it, but on Thursday I was happy to find Jasmines Nadas occupying a small stall down a corridor where the mushroom guy is( he's strictly weekends) The sign listed about 7 or more varieties available, mostly savory but I did notice sweet as well. I went simple and chose a beef and a chicken. Jasmine was friendly and told me varieties can change but that she likes to present several options. The specimens are kept warm under a heat lamp so it's ready to be consumed with no wait. I would call them medium sized, but at $4 ea a fair value. The shell seemed mostly flour, but tasty and crispy when I ate mine hours later. Both fillings were good. The chicken one was shredded white meat that was mildly seasoned. The beef was a bit different, it seemed to be tiny cubes of tender steak in a spicy sloppy joe'esque sauce. I'd get either again! There are choices of sauce too, but I made my own fresh salsa. I hope farmers market patrons come down this aisle and give them a try. I still see people lined up for a mediocre at best empanada truck not far from here....Jasomines nadas are much better!

I attended a Yelp Elite Event at Catfight Coffee, that happened to be in Boonton so I already knew what I was doing after the event. The place is bright and has a good amount of seating inside. I ended up getting the beef and Cuban empanadas. These empanadas are baked and reheated when served. The beef was pretty good and the chimichuri sauce was a nice compliment. I really liked the Cuban empanada, it was packed with protein and tasted like a Cuban sandwich. The person who served me was very nice and mentioned she liked the Cuban, glad I tried that out. * Street parking

Immediately when you walk in, it's clean, it's spacious, it has plenty of seating. You have plenty of space with your dishes when you go to sit down. You can look out the window and enjoy your lunch. The food... my God the food. I can't wait to come back here again. I will say they give you enough to last you to the next lunch day lol. But I will be coming back with updates when I try more things here. I got the steak platter and all the ingredients are so fresh, it's so well-made. Nothing tastes old, the flavors are amazing. I really have nothing bad to say. I will say the only hiccup is the workers don't really speak English, however, they do provide you with the phone so they can translate what you're saying, which is great. I waited an appropriate amount of time for dish like this and will be telling everyone I run into about this place. It's peaceful, the music is calming. You're not overly loud like a lot of these restaurants. It's clean, and the food is great! I found my new lunch spot. Update: went back the next day with my leftovers from my previous visit. Decided to try the beef empanada with the sauce that I missed the first day. Some kind of cilantro not spicy sauce. Also got the tres leches. Hands-down the best tres leches I've ever had in my life. And when I tell you that sauce puts the empanada over the edge. That's exactly what it needed. I will be coming here all the time!
