One can stuff them with any number of things. On this Nochebuena (Christmas Eve), while in the neighborhood of Totowa, my partner and I decided to pay a visit to this establishment for takeout as first-timers. Opened 6 years ago, Mama Ana's Empanadas is a family-owned restaurant specializing in empanadas located off of Union Blvd. Greeted by the staff upon arrival, the interior vibe was not only festive but cozy and casual with seating for 20 patrons. From the menu, one can choose up to 18 different kinds of empanadas, from classic beef or chicken to cheesesteak and Cuban; either have them baked or fried. They also offer Latin" bowls, salads, and sandwiches. We decided on the cheesesteak empanada and broccoli & cheese empanada, as well as the Chicharrones de Cerdo bowl, accompanied by rice and beans with a side of maduros (sweet plantain). The cheesesteak was tasty. The broccoli came with mozzarella, which was salty. The cheddar would have been better. The empanada dough was hot, flaky, and huge. Chicharrones de cerdo bowl was served piping hot and hit the spot. The pork wasn't hard but had great flavor and chew. The price was reasonable due to its size and portion. The service was slow, but we know the food was made fresh. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Ada and Yame. We can recommend this place.

The pernil was honestly some of the best I've ever had, and I've eaten a lot of pernil because it's one of my favorite foods. It was incredibly tender and seasoned to perfection. Even the skin was delicious and packed with flavor. I'm usually not a fan of vegetables mixed into rice since a lot of restaurants use frozen veggies, and I prefer fresh ones. But the rice was so good that I could have eaten it by itself. It was a thicker long-grain rice, not sticky at all, and it paired perfectly with the pernil. The empanadas were amazing too. Next time I'll have to get there earlier because they sell out pretty fast. I even made sure to save some leftovers for the next day because I was already craving it. Honestly, I'm craving it right now while writing this review. Unfortunately, I forgot to take any photos.

We were greeted by a woman who apparently doesn't know how to smile. She proceeded to tell us this is a take-out restaurant. But we saw plenty of nice tables so we asked if we can buy our food and sit down. She said yes so we ordered. I got the lunch special of oxtail, yellow rice and beans and ordered a side of Tostones. Scooped up my food with an impression like she just dreaded to be at work. It comes with a bottle of water or soda. The food was lukewarm. It was served lunchroom style. Anyway, the food was fine. There's a clean restroom there. However, the feeling you get is one of being UNWELCOMED here. I saw 3 staff. No one seemed happy. I am giving it 3 stars for atmosphere and 3 stars for lukewarm food.

I've gotten the pork a few times and on more than one occasion it was farm tasting. There are a lot of other rice and bean spots that I think are much better. Now, I believe someone from the family of this place opened El Coqui Cafe right next door. I love El Coqui. (They sell items like the empenadas from Spanish grill) and they cook most of the food there and then carry it over. This place to me is the best new restaurant and they have amazing Cuban sandwiches and treats.

Known for their empanadas. A few parking spots out front, not really meant for dine in anyway. Wasn't busy at all on the Monday afternoon I went, but I wouldn't be surprised if most of their orders were just Uber eats or catering runs. Price Point: Around $2.50-$3.50/empanada. Overall seemed very reasonable for the quality/quantity of the food. The rest of the items seemed well priced too although I only got empanadas. Pros: Service was quick, food was made fresh, and everything tasted delicious. It was a very simple lunch run for me and it was executed perfectly. Cons: Since they weren't very busy, they weren't sure if they had the gyro meat for my gyro empanada, but were able to find it and whip it up. Could've just been an off day and they were waiting on inventory, which isn't much of a con, but it's the only thing that had potential to ruin my quick lunch. Overall: Highly recommend trying this place out! Never knew it existed and I'm certainly going back for more empanadas and other food. Great local small business that I am happy to support in my hometown.
