Hotpanada - Empanadas Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

Wow, have I dropped the ball on this one. Based on the paltry 8 reviews available as I write this, it looks like fellow Yelpers have to. Fortunately, the long line of hungry customers anxiously awaiting their turn for fried deliciousness I waited in this afternoon indicates that the community knows what we've all been missing. Hotpanada is a killer food truck that tucks itself away in a back corner of what used to be the K Mart shopping center at the corner of Kuser and White Horse Ave. If you see a line a dozen or more deep when you arrive, don't despair, the line moves quickly! Hotpanada is run by a husband and wife team who churn out some seriously delicious grub. They have over a dozen varieties that range from traditional to dessert, and they even have vegetarian and vegan options. Being a newbie, I set myself up with a variety pack to split with my wife: traditional beef, BBQ Chicken, a Cubanonada and a Jerseynada. Each one was more delicious than the last. I formally apologize to the ownership for having waited this long to try your fried deliciousness, but I shall repent by returning frequently to sample the rest of the menu! read more

I've been checking out Hotpanda's website and Instagram for awhile, and today was the day I finally got my empanada! There are a lot of great choices of empanadas. However, I decided to go for a more traditional one and went with the beef empanada. It was seasoned well, had a good amount of filling and a tasty crispy shell! The size was good for me and I paired it with a salad. So, I definitely enjoyed my lunch today. I also tried the pineapple and ginger drink, it was good and had a kick. A line started as soon as their food truck was open for business at 11am, so definitely a popular place. The service is amazing, the owner is very kind and engages with the customers in line! Even with a line it moved pretty fast, so I didn't wait too long! I live in PA now, but I go back to NJ a lot, so I'll definitely be going back to Hotpanada! Thinking of trying the Cubana empanada next time! read more

Pro tip: ask for extra red sauce. I'm rounding up only slightly for this city worthy food truck that seems to spend a few days per week in an underused suburban parking lot. Ironically( or fiendishly clever?) it is located within walking distance of my go to empanada brick and mortar. I was able to view the menu through their website and knew I had to try the beef and chicken, I rounded out the order with a Philly cheesesteak( this one comes with a small container of whiz) I liked all of them. The steak was filled with tender beef and just a hint of onion and American cheese, as I ate this I was thinking how good it would be if this steak was filling up a more substantial delivery vehicle so I could get huge bites of it. I liked the other 2 even better as they were more traditional and I used the tasty red sauce plus my own produce. The beef was not spicy but had a pleasant seasoning, the pulled chicken had just a slight spice and both very enjoyable. The dough used appears to be wheat flour( my fav place uses corn) but not too thick. Crusty and flaky but not oily at all. Based on what you order there might be a short wait if it needs to be fried first. The most popular items are precooked, my choices were all ready to go as soon as I made my selection. Customer service was fast and friendly too. In theory I'm a fan of most food trucks. But sometimes the reality doesn't warrant 4 stars. I'm referring to costs mainly. At around $4 per emp, this is a bit more than at my fav place but not at all prohibitive considering the nice size and plump and tasty fillings. It looks like Hamilton Township finally has a dedicated food truck that is up to metro standards. Hope they stick around for awhile or find a suitable building locally. read more

It's always such a treat to find this food truck in the parking lot! One time I stopped here on a whim, because I was starving and have been forever grateful that I did that because these are hands-down, the best empanadas I have ever had. The service is always exceptional And they will explain anything to you that you need to know to make a good choice of what you order. There are a variety of empanadas meat and vegetarian options. You can't go wrong, and they always serve with a smile! I was just going to post what my favorite ones are for you to try but as I started typing, I realize they're all my favorite. It's definitely worth following their Facebook page to find them. You won't be sorry. read more

I have a hard time believing I'm the first Yelper for this establishment; it is just so good. Hotpanada is a food truck that is parked a few days a week at the old Kmart on Whitehorse in Hamilton, and they've been a staple through the pandemic for us. I picked up a few back in November 2020 that I split with my ex-husband. We tried the traditional beef, the buffalo chicken, along with the regular chicken empanadas, and they were all delicious. They're larger than many empanadas I've had in the past, so two will do you for a quick lunch. The crust is flaky perfection. As mentioned in previous posts, my son is very fussy, but I managed to convince him to try Hotpanada - it was an effort because he was skeptical and just not curious about branching out. But I begged him to try a bit, and he wound up eating two entire empanadas. Since then, we've picked up empanadas from the truck nearly every two weeks, and (I) have branched out and tried the shrimp, the spinach/feta, the samosa, and the pizza varieties (all good), and my son and his dad tried the stinking hot, FLAMEanada, which they agreed was a little to hot to actually enjoy, but if you you love heat, you may like this one. I think the cost is a bit more than the average empanada to discourage everyone except the most committed spice fans. My favorite is definitely the standard beef empanada, though the spinach/feta is a close runner up. This husband and wife duo make their own salsa, and it is fantastic, so be sure to ask for some. My son also likes the churros, which are a perfect blend of flaky/tender, and coated with sugar, and we've enjoyed an assortment of their juice drinks too. Anyway, if you haven't yet, you need to try Hotpanada. A local treasure. read more

Found this under the hot and new category on Yelp and had to try it. I drive by this shopping center frequently and was surprised I had never seen it. They are parked in the old Kmart / new Starbucks parking lot. The empanadas are huge and all the ones I have tried have been excellent. I am partial to the guava and cheese. Haven't had a good one since I was in Puerto Rico, so I'm glad this place delivered. Staff were very friendly as well. I hope they do well. I will definitely be stopping by regularly . read more

Just stopped by, I ordered 4 empanadas: philly (cheesesteak), beef, cheese, and guava. Let me start by saying that these ARE THE BEST EMPANADAS EVER. The dough had flavor, the fillings had flavor and they were not skimpy with the filling either, and on top of that there's a red sauce they give that is kinda sweet and sour that goes soo super well with the cheese empanadas. The best food around, 1000000%! read more

How can something be overpriced, over cooked and cold?? That's what I got after I ordered the cheesesteak empanada.

Hotpanada is the best! Not only is their food delicious but they are a great business to work with! They recently helped our school and PTA with teacher appreciation week and were so generous with their donation; everyone was so appreciative and loved their food! Thank you again Hotpanada!! read more

I love Hotpanada! The food is delicious and the people are so helpful and friendly. I try to enjoy get there once a week.

So delicious! Empanadas came out hot and I like when food is hot and fresh! So much variety. Everything was delicious. I'll need to get there earlier to try the guava and cheese! It's a crowd pleaser read more

Found this place since was looking for Empanadas, and well, this place specializes in them! These empanadas are fried, and have a very nice crispy crunch to them. The fillings are also all very good that I have tried, from the classic beef, to things like Pizza, Samosa, Rice and Peas, and Shrimp Scampi. They don't always have some of their more exotic options like the Flamanada that is supposed to be super spicy, but I look forward to trying it sometime, even if I may regret it! I will say that these are not the cheapest Empanadas you will find, at around 4 dollars each, but I think the quality is good, and they are well sized! So still a good value overall for the quality, taste, and size. read more

incredibly cheap incredibly delicious!!! Stopped here before going to grounds for sculpture and it was the perfect bite to eat. The wrapper is crusty and light and all the fillings are so scrumptious! Especially the beans/cheese and beef! And get the mint lemonade :) read more

Good prices for delicious empanadas. Try the cheese, then the apple for dessert. Quick and friendly service. Love this food truck.

Food is always great tasting and service is friendly and quick. This food truck was an amazing idea!

This empanada truck is very good. Anytime I try any empanada, it so good. Beef, chicken, pizza and bean and cheese love them all. Plus I'm addicted to the shaved ice yummy. My only complaint is I want them to be open 7 days a week!!!!! read more

The empanadas were delicious. We tried the Buffalo chicken and the regular chicken ones. We will definitely go back. If you like empanadas definitely try this food truck. The owner is very nice, friendly and efficient. Give it a try - you won't be sorry! read more
