Delicious Empanadas
Vee H.

As my quest for the perfect Empanada continued I stumbled upon this brand new Empanada spot on Gun Hill road in Bronx, NY. Well for starters the smell of fresh baked empanadas filled the air as we pulled up. The store is very clean and proudly displayed the A sanitation rating on the front window, which is a big plus! Once inside the location Empanadas on the Hill has a transparent policy where they have nothing to hide and you can see everything from the preparation of fresh dishes and smoothies to the amazing plentiful selections of Empanadas created there in. I tried the cheese burger, chicken and the beef empanada and I've decided that my favorite is a toss up between the chicken and the fresh beef flavored with just the right amount of onions and spices. I have officially found a new empanada home and I will Be frequenting Empanadas on the Hill every chance I get.

Very rude cashiers. if you are not Spanish, they won't acknowledge you. They were extremely ignorant and disrespectful and checking the comments, I'm not the firsts. The cashier literally yelled at me and made fun of me in their language and it not the first time. This happened six months ago. Not sure if that's racism but it look like it. That's my last time going there!!!

The piece of glass found in the quesadilla

Tonight I ordered food for my Pregnant girlfriend. Her order was a suppose to be a shrimp quesadilla but instead we received a chicken quesadilla. Not only was the order wrong but once she bit into the quesadilla she spat out a piece a glass. I called this establishment to let them know the situation just for the lady at the register to argue and scream at me saying whatever she said in Spanish. I am very familiar with the world we live in and being an African American makes it even harder everyday. I'm glad that my girlfriend did not swallow that piece of glass because we would be in the hospital right now. We will never spend our money with them ever again.

Chimi club sandwich

Ordered the chimi club sandwich through ubereats. It arrived quickly. Delicious. Didn't eat the fries because the sandwich was enough and was a little soggy for my taste.

Good variety of empanadas, helpful staff, empanadas are not greasy and they also make other foods: burgers, pizza, finger foods and natural shakes.

Oysters were super fresh and slightly sweet, the guac with mango salsa really popped, and the crab cake was simple but on point. For mains, the shrimp pasta was al dente with well-seasoned shrimp. The fried red snapper stuffed with Chino-Latino rice was the star fresh, flavorful, and easily a 10/10. The Pernilito was also delicious, with great sauce and rice. Ambiance 9/10.

Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. The service was spotty and inattentive, and the ribeye was honestly just bad. We ordered it medium rare and it came out rare. It was thick enough and undercooked enough that we sent it back. Even aside from the temperature, the steak itself was disappointing. The tostones were bland, and the sauce served with it basically tasted like ground-up garlic mixed with mayonnaise. Not good. And check your bill. An 18% gratuity had already been added before we were given the opportunity to tip, which was particularly frustrating considering the level of service we received. If a gratuity is going to be automatically added, that should be made very clear. Great cocktails and an absolutely delicious shrimp and chorizo appetizer, but overall the experience was disappointing -- especially the steak and the service.

I never become…read moretired of eating my favorite dishes: Mediterranean grilled shrimp on a pita with greens, black olives, onions, tomatoes, and a green hot pepper, baby back ribs with mac and cheese along with homestyle collard greens, lentil, chicken, and butternut squash soup, crispy, southern-fried chicken and the 1/2 roasted chicken with mac/cheese and collards. These items are my "go to," but the owner, Ronny, keeps trying to get me to "change it up," and I will. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this neighborhood favorite for dining in or delivery. The quality of food is consistently great!

When the owner picked up the phone she told me deliveries were busy and I told her I figured. Another thing I realized is that if you call the restaurant directly The prices are much cheaper than those delivery apps by a lot. So if you want a delivery and you live close by enough that get regular delivery guys will deliver do it, otherwise I understand you ordering online. The ribs as always were falling off the bone and like an idiot I forgot to ask for Bbq sauce but honestly you didn't even need some that's how good the ribs were. They were charred from the grill as it was just amazing. The coleslaw and baked beans were amazing as always Then she told me that she now has chicken pot pie and would I be interested. To be honest I wasn't sure at first, but she told me I could cook it myself it I wanted she would send me directions. Let me tell you something one of the. Eat have ever tasted. I completely forgot to take a picture cause it was so good. If you order or go in there please tell her I recommend the place and to try everything including her desserts the pies which are to die or kill for
