    Delicious Empanada
    Ardy S.

    I really regret not finding this place sooner. Do not be fooled by the exterior, this is more of a take out place. On our way to do shipping in Italian center, we saw this little restaurant with a genuine hole in a wall vibe. The specially here is Empanada but they also serve pizza. We tried 6 different types of Empanadas. My favorites were traditional beef, Spinach and the ham and cheese. It is obvious that everything is made from scratch. The dough is crispy and tasty. The fillings our extremely flavorful. I really enjoyed the use of spices like cumin. The chef somehow managed to transform the usually boring spinach filling to a very tasty interesting Empanada. They also give you a cheat sheet so you can identify the Empanadas, each Empanada has a unique shape and somehow made the dining experience more interactive. You can also buy them frozen and bake them at home, which is something that we will defiantly do in future. It is perfect for a lazy day. Most of Empanadas are 2.5 $ and they are not small at all. In my opinion, the price is very reasonable for the portion size. They bake the food to order which is a big positive for me but as it takes around 20 minutes if you are in a rush call them ahead of time and the food will be ready as soon as you arrive.

    The best food finds actually come to me unplanned. And it's the best kind of surprise too, like finding a $20 bill in your pants! My latest stumble? My Empanadas, located right next door to the newly opened Korean Mama Lee's Kitchen on 106 St and 51 Ave. Earlier this week, we had dinner there and as Joe and I were walking out and making our goodbyes to Jessica and Jerry, Jessica (of course) spotted the Argentinian empanada shop. Jessica has the biggest eye for food, ten times larger than mine. Were we all full? Yes. Did we want to try empanadas? Yes. So what did we do? ... Need I answer that? The shop has been around for nearly two years now. In fact, I was already following it on Twitter and had it on my wishlist on Urbanspoon. How many of these little eats have I completely overlooked? A full menu is available on their website. Little slips of paper serve as a guide for when you buy your pockets of deliciousness. They can be baked on the spot and served to you at one of their two tables or, if you prefer, you can order them frozen with full instructions to take home and enjoy. Between the four of us, we ordered a chicken, beef, chorizo, and pork. Hurray for sharing! We all had room for one empanada in our stomach and with a bite of each one, totally do-able. It took 10-15 minutes for him to bake our order (same time as the frozen varieties). They came out piping hot and crispy. My favorite? The chorizo! I always like a little bit of heat. The pork and chicken had a sweeter marinade than the beef but all were delicious! Jessica's favorite was the beef. I think we were all thinking the same thing but Jessica was the first to say it: "Should... we buy some frozen ones... for later?" Yes. So we did. And this is where the menu slip is of extreme importance! In order to differentiate the empanadas, just match up which style it looks like. Excellent! The owner even provided us with full instructions (preheat oven 375 degrees Celsius, egg wash for shiny appearance, lay evenly and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, rotating sheet every 5 minutes) and parchment paper! Cute! We all wanted to try the Philly Cheese but he was sold out of them. What that really means is that it's probably better than the ones we just had. Must. Order. More. Definitely give My Empanadas a go when you're in the neighborhood! Each empanada is only $2.49 (Philly Cheese $2.99) and they also serve tortillas and pizzas.

    Delicious Ham and cheese, beef and spinach empanadas!

    We found this place totally by chance when passing by 51 avenue. It's a small place and mostly take orders but it has 2 tables outside. Awesome Empanadas! We tried different types and I liked the beef Empanadas and spinach Empenadas the best. They were crispy, tasty and more importantly had a touch of cumin which is one of my favourite spices. The owner is very friendly and helpful. I suggest to order by the phone before getting there. It takes about 20 minutes to prepare the Empanadas.

    Small place with straightforward menu. Food is great for value. Tried the chicken and beef empanadas, loved them both. They have the frozen option as well, that seemed to be a popular pick for a lot of people coming in.

    Sad to say, this great little place appears to be no more. The place is for lease and sitting empty.
