    We tried Stella's Empanadas at a pop up at the NJ expo center during Christmas Con. We weren't disappointed from the affordable price to the unique/classic flavors. We tried the beef and cheese, Mac and 5 cheeses and the baked apple pie. The beef and cheese was well seasoned with minimal cheese pull, the Mac and 5 cheese was not too soft and cheesy and the baked apple pie had just the right amount of cinnamon. Overall, the empanada shells were crispy not soggy and just the right amount of airy. I would totally eat them again.

    One of the three yummy empanadas I tried!

    Visited them at Christmas Con 2021 at the NJ Expo Center. I tried the BBQ Pork Empanada, the Mac and 4Cheeses Empanada and the Apple Pie Empanada! All were a great texture and had a nice flavor. Everything was at a nice temperature despite being at a remote location which was impressive. My fave was definitely the Mac n 4Cheeses!

    VEGAN New "Caprese" Made with a combination of fresh Jersey tomatos, basil, tofu & our famous chimichurri sauce

    STELLAS EMPANADAS are delicious! we picked some up today at the Scotch Plains farmers market they had stacks of them lined up in cute pizza boxes you get six to an order for a great price! we're trying all the vegan options and there are a lot of them!?the caprese is filled with mince tofu fresh tomatoes basil and chinichura sauce the list of fillings is huge the crispy soft handmade shell is a treat just by itself

    Caprese empanada, a must get

    After having Stellas Book marked on my Yelp list for awhile, i finally made the treck over here. The empanadas here are not skimp at all! They deff pack them to the rim and they are big. Not to mention, at $2 each thats a steal. However, they do have deals such as 6 for $8.50. The dessert Argentine Cheesecake was my fave. Ive never had a cheesecake empanada but this opened my eyes to a whole new world! The second favorite was the Calabrese. A little bit of italian flavor thrown into ths mix was a great idea. If youre not a fan of cheese, i wouldnt suggest getting this one....because it is cheesey to the max. Speaking of cheese, i even tried the mac n cheese. Now at first thought, youd think this would have been my fave however, it didnt deliver. Not sure if its their rue, or the cheese they use..but i just was not a fan of the flavor of the cheese sauce and mix in it. I liked that theres deals, theyre big, you can sit and eat, and they even have a whole menu for vegetarians ! I would reccomend this place to anyone, its a great spot for a quick snack!

    Beef and potato

    Stella's stand is a mainstay in the grove street farmer's market. $2.50 for 1 empanada or $20 for a dozen, they are the more affordable food options at the market. I got the spicy chicken and beef and potato empanadas. My favorite is the beef and potato empanada. It's flavorful and moist. The spicy chicken comes shredded and it was a little dry. The skin was not crispy, probably because i got the empanadas from their mobile stand. I will be back to try their other flavors!

    Right here we got the philly cheesestake empanada! The cheddar potato! Lastly the Mac and cheese empanada!

    We love fun tasty empanadas creations out of the usual chicken, beef or cheese. Right here we got the philly cheesestake empanada! The cheddar potato! Lastly the Mac and cheese empanada! These were amazingly tasty empanadas.

    Tango Burger (front) and Beef Milenese Sandwich (back)

    It's a small shop but the food is amazing. My favorite empanadas are the Philly cheese and the beef and cheese. The empanadas are packed full of fresh ingredients locally sourced and they're filling. Tried the Tango Burger which was cooked well and extremely moisted. The chimichurri sauce over it was different and added to the flavors of the burger. My step-dad got the Beef Milenese Sandwich which he enjoyed but was a little dry for him. They had a $20 for 13 empanadas (cash only) special when I walked in today. And you can tell how good the food is by the amount of takeout boxes people are constantly picking up throughout the day

    Grilled chicken salad

    Food was absolutely amazing! Ordered delivery on a Friday night, it came fast and everything was fresh. Best empanadas I've ever had, hands down. Also ordered a salad and a burger, both were great!

    Food here is decent, just a little on the greasy side. Empanadas are good and a nice variety of them.

    These were great empanadas and a lot better than The Empanadas Guy. The price is more reasonable also.

    The details of the restaurant, car, seating picture stop, paintings, music, free parking and best…read moreof all great food, which is not common in all Cuban places and spots as there is a Union, NJ on Rt. 22 location as a 1st location established which does not have the same details, or food quality as I have experienced and glad that I am now living in Harrison and no longer in Union and have been able to experience the difference. Although, staff, lacks the want to be there as I noticed on Mother's Day and facial expressions were noticed. Love the new place and bringing it out to Harrison. Great addition to the town for many. Support staff and workers should be better chosen to create a better experience to return to. Older Spanish people are difficult and younger staff don't always adapt to old folks and I felt my mom was uncomfortable when asking for service on Mother's Day. The food was amazing, no lie and the place was a blessing to have experienced with my mom here in Harrison. Plenty of times in Union on RT. 22 but better in Harrison honestly. Bar table staff and young ladies not as pleasant, and I was with my mom and brother and the guys were nice but the girls by the bar and tables, well one, not all very worthy of having on staff. Mother's Day at 2 pm to 5 pm working the tables closet to the bar and bar was very unpleasant and someone I would review and as an owner of a Great place and establishment. Name not recalled or remembered but definite a downfall for the place. Figure it out. Young, Black hair, spanish, between 2 and 4 pm, mothers day on the bar tables and bar took care of me on the first table by the bathroom area. Blessings to your place. My Birthday is June 12th....would love to come back if you send an invite. vgrovira@gmail.com

The place has a beach dining experience when sitting to opposite HOSTESS STATION in far back area. I believe it is the windows in this area including natural wood. Ropa Vieja with plantains after MAMBO COMBO PLATTER was sooo good. forgot picture taking. Comida Cubana como mi madre hacia años atraz. Happy hour is good including Mojitos and pitcher of Sangria, white or red. Dale, se que la curiosidad te llama aqui. Parking next to entrance to your left looking at it. PARKING TICKET VALIDATED. Precios rasonable para la aparencia que da. COMES BIEN AQUI.
