Empanada or Nada is an interesting name. There is a little bit of both…read more My wife has been talking about this place for a while now and we were walking we decided to stop in. I know some people judge a place based on the traffic inside. Something was lacking, though, when we walked in. It felt empty to say the least. They had a limited selection on an early Sunday, which was surprising. I really wanted to try the pizza and the Philly cheesesteak but they were out. We sampled the Cuban, Buffalo chicken, Chicken bacon ranch, and plain beef paired with a spicy mayo sauce. The empanadas were tasty, but nothing amazing. We enjoyed the Cuban the most. My other gripe is that there are no sides, fries, plantains, rice. Nothing. They took their name too literally. If they add sides in the future, I'll be more willing to visit again.

My aunts and I were super hungry one afternoon and we stopped in. It was my first time and probably…read moretheir 50th since they live close to the restaurant. The restaurant was clean and I was surprised it wasn't jammed packed! We were greeted and asked for a few minutes to browse all of the different kinds of empanadas! There were so many from chicken filled to Philly cheesesteak and fruit filled empanadas! I picked a beef one and a Philly cheesesteak it came with a sauce to put on top. IT WAS DELICIOUS! I could eat 10 in a row! I will definitely be back! I just hate that parking is so bad in that area.

There's a parking lot in front and plenty of seating inside. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken with Gorgonzola cheese empanada. The empanada has a great crispness and is stuffed inside with great flavors. Dipped in the sauce, it was outstanding. They have their own bottles of iced tea here which was very good. The woman running the front was very friendly. Fun stop for lunch!

While I didn't get a chance to see the actual establishment since I ordered through Uber Eats, I'm…read morenot sure that would have changed my judgment much. I ordered the oxtail empanada and the honey jerk empanada with a strawberry lemonade. My sister ordered the honey jerk empanada as well, along with the garlic shrimp empanada and a strawberry mint lemonade. First, the drinks were absolutely delicious. My strawberry lemonade was refreshing, and my sister enjoyed hers as well, although she mentioned she didn't really taste the mint. The empanadas were definitely stuffed, so I can say they were worth the price in terms of portion. My sister enjoyed her garlic shrimp empanada. However, we both agreed that the honey jerk empanada was very disappointing. It wasn't flavorful or what we expected from jerk seasoning--it was simply very spicy. The kind of spicy that becomes uncomfortable and hard to finish. My mouth was so hot that I couldn't really enjoy it. I then tried my oxtail empanada, and while it was better than the honey jerk, it didn't really taste like authentic oxtail to me. If I were to try them again, I would probably order different flavors and would like to stop by the restaurant in person to get the full experience. I don't plan to visit again anytime soon, but it's not completely off my list yet. I do believe in second chances.

I attended a Yelp Elite Event at Catfight Coffee, that happened to be in Boonton so I already knew what I was doing after the event. The place is bright and has a good amount of seating inside. I ended up getting the beef and Cuban empanadas. These empanadas are baked and reheated when served. The beef was pretty good and the chimichuri sauce was a nice compliment. I really liked the Cuban empanada, it was packed with protein and tasted like a Cuban sandwich. The person who served me was very nice and mentioned she liked the Cuban, glad I tried that out. * Street parking

What I liked the most is that she kept them nice and steamy, even though it was a pop-up at the Bloody Mary Fest that I attended with a friend. The service was quick and immediate. Of course, because it's a pop-up event, the ambience is whatever, depending on the festival she's at. Usually she's set up at a food or drink spot, I believe.

They only have outdoor seating, and you have to go around the back for the dining area. I liked that they had games on each table (giant uno, giant Jenga) so it seems like a cool spot to meet up with some friends. There was some sort of taco special going on (2 for $8, but add $1 if it's a seafood taco). Here is what we ordered: -Pork belly taco (roasted pork belly, salsa verde, pickled red onion) - definitely my favorite. The pork was so tender and flavorful -Lobster taco - (chilled lobster, chipotle aioli, red onion, corn, avocado, blue corn hard shell) - this was kind of like a lobster salad but I really liked it. I considered ordering another one of these two but I was already full from the additional pork belly taco -Crispy fish taco (panko breaded white fish, lettuce, pico, chipotle mayo, flour tortilla) - this was a solid fish taco -Spicy jerk chicken taco (roasted chicken thigh, mango salsa, crema, pickled onion, guacamole) - this one was my least favorite. The chicken was dry, and it's pretty hard to overcook chicken thigh -Birria burrito lunch special - my husband ordered this one and it was soo dry. Since it said birria, we thought it would have come with consommé, but it didn't. I don't think that would have helped much though. Lunch specials come with your choice of yellow rice & black beans, salad, or fries. He chose fries and they tasted like when you have leftover fries from McDonalds and pop them in the toaster oven the next day (not good) -Chicharron - tough and dry As I mentioned, this spot is a little far for us so I would probably only go back if I was ever in the area for some more pork belly and lobster tacos. But I wouldn't go out of my way to do so. Tip - BYOB
