This is your specialty hidden "hole in the wall" place for Peruvian empanadas!! The locals know of this spot and keep it a secret! I was inducted into this secret and I want to share... got an empanada craving? Come here!! There was a looong line for these delicious freshly baked well- filled empanadas... and they also have Peruvian tamales and I saw some nicely robust pan-con-chicharrón sandwiches... what can I say: we will go back to try them! As for this time, we tried and loved the meat empanadas: the filling was nice and full, no skimpy bits of meat: nice serving for $3.50. We tried the chicken tamal and it was okay, but dry but overall a nice flavor, and finally we tried the alfajores that were warmed up at the car and were they were very nice as well. There is a line. There are only 3 tables and 5 barstools on the side... most people order to go, but if you want to eat inside, you have to negotiate with the people sitting at the tables. Do not hesitate to "reserve" your spot. I waited until we were at the top of the line, and someone 6 people behind us with no order had already negotiated and sat at a table... regardless of the fact that she didn't get her food until after we had already finished eating: the table "system" sucked, but we got another one of the tables and most customers take their orders to go, so it was not that bad. Phew! Anyway: I am uncovering the hole in the wall and letting the world know that they can get their fill on empanadas in this little shop in Margate. Enjoy!! read more

This place is an absolute hidden gem. NY FAR the best empanadas I've had. They are baked and not fried. The dough is just slightly sweet and so delicious. My favorite is the buen gusto which is ground beef but also had olives and egg and raisins in it. It sounds weird but SO good. I always take everything to go since they only have 2-3 small tables. Since the empanadas are already made the service is super quick. They also have good cafe con leche. This is a key restaurant in my rotation. read more

Definitely recommend! read more

By far best empanadas in south florida. i tried many others and Mannys is the best so far he also makes Sandwiches and Peruvian dishes all good . He's very consistent on he's products . i highly recommend read more

This is a small restaurant with only a few tables. It does a lot of takeout. It's in a group of shops on the west side of 441 that's seen better days. They have two items here basically -- empanadas and tamales. You can see what is currently available in the hot case. You order and pay at the counter. We chose to eat in. We each got two empanadas. I tried their Peruvian one, but without the sugar added topping plus a ham and cheese one. I didn't care for the ham and cheese. The Peruvian one had ground beef and chopped eggs inside. It was decent. My husband got two of their beef ones. One spicy and one regular. I had part of the regular beef one -- and that was my favorite. The fillings were just okay. The "dough" part of the empanadas were slightly sweet and delicious. There's a large (pot holed) parking lot out front. Service was okay -- there was only one gal working the counter. Prices are very reasonable. I'm glad we came to try them. Now we know. read more

Great spot to get some Empanadas! Manny's is located in the city Margate in Broward County, Fl. They are right off of 441 & margate blvd. They are deep in the plaza like in the corner. This will be your new go to stop shop hole in the wall, but trust me this is no hole in the wall. Many may not know but Manny's sells a variety of empanada options as well as a few other treats and drinks on his menu. If you've never had a warm Spanish pastry, I highly recommend you stop by and try something you've been missing! They have a great team with good customer service, you will not be disappointed! I recommend, if you order chicken, to ask for lime, just trust me and ask for lime. Your welcome. :) If you get meat (Peruvian style) ask for aji (sauce) *ahem* again, your welcome. And enjoy, they have alfajores as well, if you have a sweet tooth I HIGHLY recommend this too. Enjoy :D read more

Great little spot for fresh empanadas. There are only a few small tables inside as it seems like most people do takeout. The Caprese Empanada was my favorite -- tasted like pizza. The Spicy Chicken Empanada was good too -- the outside of the empanada has a slightly sweet flavor. The coffee is good, but if you do not like sugar in your coffee, make sure you tell them. read more

Went on a Saturday and was told they weren't making sandwiches which was disappointing as they looked really good. Had the spinach empanada which had a lot of spinach but not much flavor. Also had the chicken which was better and had more flavor but the star for me was the spicy ground beef. It wasn't really spicy but rather "seasoned". The crust they're made in is sweet and baked. Not my favorite but it is well prepared. Coffee was good and would recommend as the cortadito and colada were perfect. Overall I wish the food had a little more flavor, even the hot sauce was a little on the bland side. Doubtful I'd comeback but not a bad spot if you like a sweeter crust empanada. read more

Since he's moved from Coral Springs to finally decided to go to this location when couple weeks ago got some empanadas. It was so good nice and warm early morning and the weekend been up this week to get some. read more

Chicken empanada was the best option. Slightly sweet breading. The spinach didn't have mozzarella in it which was strange but definitely a quality place for empanadas. read more

I order empanadas 4 , papaya juice, tamales and I did request additional lemon. The waiters response was not that is the measurement. I can not believe that you can said I will charge you .50 cents since that is a 1/4 of lime they give you for 4 empanadas . Were you going to a restaurant and they said that is the measurement. I will never come back again. I can not tell you that is bad food but there is a bad service . One of the most important key on a restaurant specially when you are a old clientele.

Went on a Saturday morning around 11a.m. This place was busy! We had empanadas, chicharron sandwich, which was roast pork and onions and sweet potatoes, my husband loved it. I liked my empanadas and ice capuccino. The strawberry smoothie was also delicious. Service was pretty fast considering how busy it was. We'll be there again soon. read more

Manny's in Margate. Peruvian empanada bakery, opened a year ago in an old quiet shopping center on 441. Super legit, very filled baked dough crust style, served traditionally powdered sugar dusted with lime and a spicy sauce. Legit cafe con Leche also. Tiny place, basically just baked empanadas. And they keep coming out fresh. read more

Manny is the place if you want delicious fresh empanadas and coffee. I just love this place. The service is incredible. Everyone is so kind. The colada is delicious. If you're lucky enough to get one of their little cookies that they make grab it because they're delicious and they sell fast. I wish they were open on Mondays. It's my day off and I'd be in there every single Monday. read more

My coworker brought the beef empanadas to our job and it was delicious. I never had one with powdered sugar on it but it was tasty. The sauce that comes with the empanada makes it even better. If I'm in the area I'll definitely come by! read more

Mannys empanadas was originally in coral springs and FINALLY resurfaced in Margate. This is a much smaller location, but the empanadas are still truly amazing. I ordered a a box of 4 Peruvian and 2 picantes ($18). Just to give you guys a visual, these aren't your typical frozen and thawed empandas. Instead, these empandas have a thin light crusty exterior and are stuffed inside with a very flavorful spices and tender browned beef. Also, the empanadas come with a tasty orange tangy sauce which, words cannot describe. I definitively recommend giving this place a shot if you haven't already! read more

Skip your Dunkin or Starbucks and come to Manny's! This is such a cute bakery. The young woman who assisted me with my order was friendly and helpful in helping my decide which empanadas I'd like. Dine in is possible, however, it is a small restaurant so if there is no crowd I am certain if you are a solo person you can eat here like I am. I'd suggest take out if you are ordering for a group. Coffee was delicious, the empanadas are the real star. This was my first time trying Peruvian empanadas and I loved them! They are fresh and use quality ingredients. The chicken was succulent and the beef was flavorful! At the moment, they are only focusing on their empanadas and pastries such as the alfajores (which I will try next time). Sandwiches aren't available yet, to my knowledge. For two empanadas and a coffee, it was $8.99. Great price for good quality food. read more

The spicy beef empanada is spectacular! The perfect quick lunch. La tienda era muy bonita y el servicio era bueno.

Delicious empanadas and alfajores! They catered an event for our business, and the food was authentically Peruvian and extremely tasty!

Absolutely delicious food, but terrible customer service. There are 2 women that mainly work the counter, the middle aged girl upfront is rude in person and over the phone. The older woman is sweet and attentive, but I don't see her work the counter as much as the other girl. It's really disappointing being excited to go to a restaurant because of their phenomenal food just for your experience to be ruined by impolite staff. It's a good thing this place is a bakery and not a restaurant because if they relied on their servers customer service they would be screwed. Overall food 100/10, service 0/10. read more

I was searching for empanadas in the area and when I found this establishment and purchased a couple empanadas they were the worst empanada I've ever hand in my life. They were dry and hard on the outside and hallow and wet on the inside. Also the spinach in the other one I tried was freezer burnt and not fresh. Do better. read more

I had lunch here for the first time and it was pretty good! Had a Havana sandwich and it was hot and fresh and pretty big, could only eat half. The restaurant is kind of no frills but they had some Cuban pastries that looked really good and Cuban coffees of various types. They had a soda fountain but I was sold a can of soda because the soda fountain only had ice. It was dispensing water from all of the soda taps. (I checked). It was about $15.00 for a sandwich, can of soda and baked sweet potato fries. I'm pretty sure they were not fried and they were thin and good. I will come back for coffee and pastry. This has been here a while but I've never noticed it before. I'm glad that I finally did. There is plenty of seating and they sell empanadas so I took some of those to go. They were very large and good, as well. read more

Si pudiera darles 10 stars se los daría. Excelente comida. Fresca, super bien hecha. Las empanadas peruanas son excelentes. Los sándwiches de butifarra y chicharrón son deliciosos, bien hechos, muy buenas porciones. El pan es recien hecho, crocante y delicioso. El ají que tienen es el mejor que he probado en mi vida. Los postres, omg deliciosos: los alfajores fresquecitos y crocantes, y a veces hay sorpresas como hoy; milhojas!!!!! Crocantes, frescas, es como comerse una en Lima. Manny y el staff son muy amables y profesionales. Siempre me atienden con una sonrisa. Hemos ido a Mannys por casi 10 años consecutivos y la calidad nunca ha bajado, SIEMPRE hemos encontrado comida deliciosa y fresca. read more

Decided to try breakfast here on a Sunday morning. The place was packed, but not with customers, with staff. I counted. There were ten women in uniform, four behind the counter and six just standing in a group next to the counter, doing nothing. Way overstaffed. This place is so tiny, there is no reason to have more than three wait staff on the floor, so the six women taking up real estate in the middle of the restaurant was a tad bit strange and uncomfortable. Maybe the owners enjoy paying unnecessary overhead, who knows. Both, my husband and I ordered a cafe con leche. It was 90% leche. I didn't taste any coffee, my husband said he tasted it "a little bit." I'm not a fan of their chicken empanada. I prefer shredded chicken and theirs was chunks of chicken. The flavor of the chicken wasn't the best either, in my opinion. Now, for the good part. Our waitress was so sweet and very attentive. All smiles, super friendly. Loved her. We both had the same meals, the chicharron sandwich with a tamale. Superb. The flavors were amazing. The pickled onions were to die for and were the perfect compliment to the chicharron sandwich and the tamale. The sandwich had cooked sweet potato on it which was a pleasant surprise and it added a very unique and tasty aspect to the sandwich. It was a massive plate of food. We could have split one meal, and we did, and ended up packing up the other plate of food. I would like to try other items and some of their other coffee drinks before passing too much judgement on this place as a whole. read more

Since we found this place (by accident) it has been great every visit. The women there are very friendly and the empanadas are amazing, we've tried at least 5 different ones! If you go and they have ran out of a favorite, you can call ahead to make sure they have what you like and it'll be ready when you pick it up. Also their shakes are really natural, I got the passionfruit one day and omg tart and tangy like it's suppose to be, just yummy, everything is yummy! read more

The best empanada spot! The empanadas are so fresh and tasty. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Every time I'm in town, I make a point to stop by here. The smoothies are also refreshing and great to take with you to the beach. Highly recommend! read more

Love the empanadas and the coffee. We miss you in Coral Springs but glad you're not too far. A family favorite for sure.

Fantastic empanadas and the roast pork sandwich, on their bread, with the pickled onions and that creamy, spicy sauce they serve...mmm...it is the best! I Pulled up this morning, for an appt at the nail salon next and it looks like they've moved. This was the sign on the door..... read more

Not only was the empanada underseasoned, but one of the women that work there had the gall to approach my son (who is 6 years old) and I while we were dining, suggest he is autistic, and further suggest that I should "cure" him by giving him an enema full of BLEACH. Steer clear of this place if you are disabled or love someone who is disabled. What this woman suggested to me today is straight eugenics. I have a photo of the piece of paper she gave me with the suggestion. read more

Best Empanadas and sandwiches, you can tell the food is freshly made everyday and the customer service is outstanding. Make sure you get the peruvian ! read more

So I went here on my lunch break and I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with some honey mustard on the side. The sandwich was huge! I was only able to eat half of it-my friend picked at the other half. It was served on a crusty hero bread and the chicken had a lot of flavor to it. They also put tons of melted provolone on it. I was also impressed with the yummy pickled onions they gave me for the sandwich. The service was very good and the place was open and comfortable. My friend ordered empanadas and he was happy with them too. Definitely will be back to try some other things! read more

I have come here with my family several times and the food is good, but the service has always been really slow and inefficient. After so many years in business, they are still understaffed. Besides that, it's almost unbearable to be inside. It seems that there is no A/C at all. It is always warm inside. But it seems now that without a notice, they have stopped accepting orders by phone. We called several times, and noone ever answered. We kept calling and got tired of waiting and decided to stop by. When we got there was a huge line, people weren't sure were the line to dine in or pick up was. Adding the disorder from the people and no A/C, it was just horrible to be in there!!! I can't understand how people can just sit there and eat. About the food, we ordered a few chicken sandwiches and tomato/egg/avocado sandwiches. They tasted dry / not fresh. Since we ordered to go, we can't get a refund for them. I'm not sure if the food is worth the trouble to go this restaurant. They should learn to manage their business better. read more

Their chicken empanadas are out of this planet. They were the best empanadas my girlfriend and I ever tasted. If you're looking for a traditional Peruvian breakfast, this is the place be. I took some empanadas to my girlfriends parents and they also agree. We look forward to eating there again. Customer service is fantastic as well. read more

The empanadas are really good. You must have them with the powdered sugar and extra lime wedges on the side, otherwise, you will be loosing A LOT. I can't speak about the sandwiches since they were not available on the Sunday I was there. read more

I swear the empanadas are full of love. Hey have so much flavor. The customer service is great. You may get caught in conversation as they have a very friendly staff. Spicy Beef and Chicken empanadas are the move if you don't know what you want. Squeeze a lime and dip in the sauce and you have a taste of heaven. Dope little spot in springs for sure. And they gave me an extra empanada for free. read more
