Get there before people find out how incredible this place, is because once they do, you won't be able to get a seat. This gluten free, egg free foodie has found her new spot! I am shocked by the amount of food we were able to order at such a reasonable price. They offer items that I haven't ever seen in the East Bay. Many are shipped straight from Peru and I am in awe of the flavors they brought to the table. The chicken melts in your mouth, sauces are one of a kind and absolutely incredible, not to mention what they have to offer is actually healthy for you and they're able to tell you why. She had me at "this will help lower your blood pressure". Such a cute, quaint esthetic with very comfy seating and lighting, which is so important for my very sensitive self lol. I cannot wait to go back next Monday!

Large portions for this type of cuisine, solid flavor profiles, fairly Americano to suit the less adventurous local palates. Solid experience, no surprises.

I recommend you get to this place before too many people learn about it. Friendly staff and a personal feeling went into the whole experience. The food is excellent, different, and made with enthusiasm for flavor. The ingredients are Peruvian and everything is made from scratch.

Absolutely fantastic dinner. The food was fresh, made to order and unbelievably flavorful. We received a delicious app courtesy of the Chef, which included plantains and Peruvian corn with a variety of house made sauces - all delicious. Our table ordered one of each appetizer on the menu and couldn't decide which was our favorite! I regret not taking more photos, as each dish was as colorful and beautifully plated as it was tasty. They also had a musician playing traditional Peruvian music. The pisco drinks were top notch, I highly recommend the mango! I can't wait to go back soon!

We walked into a space that is more takeout oriented in scale, but warm and comfortable enough to sit and eat without feeling out of place. The menu runs over twenty varieties of empanada on a given day, and the range is wide enough that building a mixed order across a few different fillings was the natural and obvious way to go. The classic beef is a reliable anchor and the short rib version elevates that same foundation with a richer, more layered filling. We tried the chicken mushroom, one of the more distinctive options on the menu, and it was worth ordering for something that departs from the expected. The spicy chorizo paired well with the chimichurri sauce, which is worth asking for if it does not come automatically. The La Che is another strong option if you want to try the house specialty alongside a more classic pick. One thing worth knowing is that some varieties sell out earlier in the day, so arriving with a bit of flexibility in your order in case a specific filling is gone is a smart approach. The staff were friendly and helped guide us through the menu when we hesitated. The empanadas themselves came out hot and crisp, with fillings that felt generous and well seasoned. For an empanada stop in Newton that delivers on variety and quality, Che Empanada is worth seeking out. We would come back for the short rib and the spicy chorizo, and we would plan to arrive earlier to catch the full selection.

This is a counter service, "create your own plate" type of style restaurant. There's no waitstaff…read more You basically point to the food you want and someone behind the counter gets it for you. Ample number of choices - Including, but not limited to White rice, rice and beans, beef, chicken, yuca, Madurai's, etc .There's also a small salad bar. The portions are very generous. The prices are very reasonable/affordable. There's a parking lot across from the restaurant and space is usually never an issue. The restaurant was recently renovated. Good for eating in or take out. CASH ONLY. There's an ATM in the restaurant. Give it 5 stars because of the generous portions, low prices, friendly staff, quick service and good tasting food.

We chose sweet plantains, and potato salad for our sides. And to drink, passion fruit juice and lemonade. The total came out to around $45, which I found average for the serving size. The jugos are SO delicious. The passion fruit was refreshing and packed with strong sweet flavors, and the lemonade was just as good. The beef guisada was tender, flavorful, and perfectly saucy, and it paired so well with the spices in the rice and peas. The potato balls? To die for. Crispy on the outside, flavorful meat and soft potato insides. Easily one of my favorite things we ordered. Overall, I was really happy I decided to give Celia's another try. The food was flavorful, nostalgic and comforting.

We are very blessed . . …read more That our area of Southeastern Connecticut has such a large Puerto Rican population - - or we may have never tasted the wonderful food that this restaurant offers. One of the best, if not THE VERY BEST, restaurants in the local area. My only concerns: 1) I didn't see a bathroom, but I didn't need one ‍; 2) we could have used a knife for the pork stick, but we should have asked. The staff is extremely helpful. Wonderful designs, with lots of inspiration. Now for the food: - Chicken Steam Plate: Chicken leg, rice & beans, fried plantain pieces. Chicken super moist, rice was outstanding, & plantains were very tasty. - Beef Stew: very good, similar to Filipino Beef Mechado. - Pork Stick: great tasting pork - - for me, I would have liked a bit more "fatty" on my stick, but it was really meaty!!! - Beans were nicely done. - Smashed Plantains were served with 1000 Island dressing: probably just as good without the dressing. - Ground Beef Empanada: good, a bit of vegetables would have put it over the top (potatoes, onions, carrots, peas) - - but that's there style. - Chicken Empanada: ok, a bit salty for us. Enjoy!!!!!

So we stopped here as we saw other positive reviews. What a delightful, cute Argentinian empanadas…read morerestaurant! The lunch special is 3 empanadas + beverage + chips for $16.04. We tried 6 empanadas between us and they were flavorful and fun. I was happily surprised that the three were enough for a meal-I was smiling as I finished them. The spicy chorizo had a noticeable slight pepper to it, the chicken mushroom was fun with bechamel and the beef with cheese and bacon reminded me of a great Philly cheesesteak. The spinach was surprising in its deep flavor and light flaky crust. Definitely worth trying! The kind woman who helped us was pleasant, knowledgeable, and promptly prepared everything. The ambiance is cute with the coffee cups having angel wings. If you are in the area, it's worth stopping by!

We placed a large order through DoorDash, over two dozen empanadas, for a group of people waiting…read moreat home. The dasher picked up the food and then canceled the order. I called the restaurant immediately to explain what happened and try to find a solution. The person in charge was not interested in hearing any of it. He kept insisting I had canceled the order, blamed me repeatedly, and refused to move past that point no matter how clearly I explained the situation. He eventually got rude and hung up on me. Yes, he actually hung up. When a restaurant chooses to partner with DoorDash, they take on some responsibility for how delivery problems get handled, particularly on large orders. The right response is not to interrogate and blame the customer while a ready order sits on the counter. There was no attempt to help, no offer to make it right, just defensiveness from start to finish. We ended the night with nothing. A large group of people, no food, and an experience that left us worse off than if we had never ordered at all. If something goes wrong with your order, this is how Che Empanadas will treat you. We will not be ordering from them again, and I would strongly encourage others to think twice before doing so.

**November 2025: Early Afternoon Visit**…read more My friend and I are on a roadtrip, and I saw all the positive reviews and thought this would be a great place to grab a snack for later. The shop is located in an ethnic part of town, right at the corner, and parking is pretty tight. I think there's three parking spots and admit that we did have a little trouble trying to get our spot. Eventually we secured a spot and I ran in to see the offerings. The shop is very intimate and the tray had a good assortment of savory empanadas and sweet pastries. There's no seating area and is definitely a grab and go type of joint. After looking at all the options I bought 4 empanadas (for a total of $11.86 paid cash. When I got home later that day I was really impressed by the flavors of each. They weren't in the slightest bit greasy and the filling to dough ratio as excellent. Spinach & Cheese: $3.00 (?) - great vegetarian options. It was creamy and Rancheta: $3 - Pork Sausage and Corn (LOVED THIS!) - This was recommended by the hostess and it did not disappoint. The sweetness of the corn complimented the salty/savoriness of the sausage Beef/Carne $2.70: Juicy and flavorful Pernil Pork $2.80: This one was my least favorite, even though it was still very good. I guess pork is a little drier than beef, but still good Overall - a fantastic find and all the trophies displayed are well deserved. If I come back to providence I will certainly make a trip here for the pockets of joy!
