I ordered online for pickup and didn't expect the long line when I arrived. They were definitely busy and understaffed, but working as quickly as they could. It appears to be a family-owned spot with a cozy atmosphere. Although they offer a full menu, they're best known, as their name suggests, for their empanadas, which are labeled and beautifully displayed in a glass case. Although the wait was a bit long, I'm happy to say it was worth it. The baker empanadas are generously stuffed with delicious fillings. I ordered three to share with my partner. Matambre Empanada: This seems to be one of their most popular options. Filled with steak, onions, and peppers, it was absolutely delicious! Spicy Chorizo Empanada: Spicy in the best way! The mozzarella perfectly balances the heat. Beef Empanada: Packed with plenty of seasoned ground beef. Also very good, though we preferred the Matambre. We'll definitely be ordering again. Next time, we'll have to try one of their entrées or sandwiches. read more

What a great addition to the Neighborhood ! Argentina is my top 5 countries i have visited . Argentine are to meat what Picasso was to paint ! Masters of Meat . We ordered 5 different flavors of empanadas : Sweet beef ( traditional ) , spanish & cheese , Vegetarian , Caprese . We agreed all equally delicious 5/5 . We ordered to go , so i couldn't get the full in dining experience and had to rate on a curve . They will be hosting World Cup Watch and i will be there for sure !! . They do sell wine bottles if you forgot to BYOB , albeit at steep prices with premade sangrias . The dining area is small but make great use of space with seating . I went during lunch time 11:45 am , they could use more help . Only two one at cashier , taking orders one manning oven . I'd order ahead of time for pick ups . In all fairness they were open only 2 months . read more

Delicious and fresh empanadas! We stopped in here to watch the England/France fifa game. It wasn't too busy so we were seated right away. We ordered the beef, spicy beef, buffalo chicken, matambre (steak), and ham/cheese/pineapple. I also ordered the crazy choripan sandwich. The empanadas were really good and came out quickly. My favorite one was the matambre. The sandwich never made it out and we had finished the empanadas. When I asked the waitress about the sandwich, she said they haven't started making it yet so I just cancelled that order. I didn't want to sit there and have everyone watch me eat and wait when we were done. Overall really good spot though! read more

We went twice. Food was great! Service was warm and welcoming. We love the empanadas and the dips! Meal was large portions! We love it.

Cute authentic Argentine place in Nutley! Had empanadas and chorizo as afternoon snack. All types we chose were delicious (sweet beef, spicy beef and spicy chorizo). Mariano at the counter was super helpful, even numbered our empanadas so we knew what we were eating. The grilled chorizo was very tasty. Chimichori sauce Soo good, that we grabbed some on way out. They have a full menu, with grilled meats which we will try later. BYOB but they also have wine to sell as well. Support your small businesses! read more

I love empanadas so when I saw this place I was happy to try it out. Located on Franklin Ave in a small storefront you could smell the food from outside. The service was excellent and very prompt. I ordered sweet beef, ham and cheese, buffalo chicken, and cheeseburger. They were all outstanding. They mark them with edible marker which is a great idea to keep track of what you're eating. The sauces were good too. I especially liked the chimichurri sauce. It's a small restaurant so they have entrees and burgers which I will be back to try. The steak smelled great. Will definitely be back. Excellent small business in Nutley. read more

Food and services spectacular!!! It is a small quaint family owned shop with the oldest son being one of the servers who is very attentive and polite. Over all the experience was amazing, the empanadas all tasted fresh and delicious, the waiter even gave us a couple of extra flavors to try and they were so delicious. read more

We got it delivered so I'm sure the foods even better in person but it was delicious. On the pricerier side if we're being honest but worth it! Just something to consider again got it delivered via door dash so I'm sure it would be more affordable if we went there. My toddler LOVED the mash. He also liked the chicken empanada and the cheese and mushroom empanada. He's a picky eater so I would say those are kid friendly not spicy or over seasoned. My husband got the Patagonia the balsamic vinaigrette with the prosciutto and cheese, amazing. I got the Buenos Aires napolitana, a classic. Definitely going to eat there next time read more

Something different about Argentinian empanadas (meat pies) with pasty shells that make them delicious. They give lots of meats on the sandwich and ribs. The fries were yummy with homemade dips. Actually the dips go with everything. They only thing I don't like is that they only serve bottled water claiming the tap water was not good. read more

My boyfriend and I came here so hungry and left beyond satisfied. We started with three empanadas: 4 Cheeses, Matambre, and Caprese -- my boyfriend absolutely loved the Caprese. All of the empanadas were warm, fresh, and full of flavor. They also served us homemade chimichurri and a spicy sauce, which paired perfectly with them. After that, we shared the chicken and beef ribs, along with French fries and mashed potatoes, and it was more than enough food for the two of us. Both the chicken and beef were incredibly tender, juicy, and flavorful, and the sides complemented them perfectly. The service was excellent -- very attentive and welcoming -- and the owners were extremely kind, which made the experience even better. We'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for amazing Argentine food and great hospitality! read more

I really wanted to love these Argentinian empanadas -- especially since they're closer to home and would save me the trip for good, authentic ones. Unfortunately, they were a big letdown. Traditional Argentinian empanadas are usually baked, but these were fried and extremely greasy. The grease overpowered the flavor, making them hard to enjoy. To make things worse, several of them were literally falling apart. Some arrived half open, which you can see in the photos I attached. It was really disappointing, especially since I had ordered a large batch expecting to share with others. The presentation and quality just weren't there. I appreciate the effort, but these missed the mark for me -- both in taste and execution. read more

The Crazy Argentinian Empanadas - Lomito Sandwhich, classic Argentine sandwich - Empanadas Near Me - Nutley, New Jersey

This was a Sunday eatery we ended up eating at when TOPS diner was a 90 minute wait. My partner and I both really enjoy empanadas so, when this place popped on on Yelp, we just decided to go for it. We had the Empanadas (three for each of us). I should have had taken the pics of the presentation which was, in my opinion, very classy; on a long board with *just* enough room lengthwise to have six empanadas on them...each numbered in small lettering made with black food coloring. The numbers corresponded to the menu number (helps to have a paper menu at all times just to you know NOT to eat someone else's empanada). I had by menu number (See attached Menu Pics): 3. Spicy Beef: Beef, green olives, beef, onion, red bell peppers & Sauce The Crazy Spice. 14. Spicy Chorizo: Chorizo, mozzarella & mild chilies. 28. Buffalo Chicken Shredded chicken with buffalo sauce & blue cheese Hands down, I liked the Spicy Beef myself as a favorite. The others were good (although the Chorizo was skimpy on the filling for some reason), the #3 was for me. My partner had: 2. Beef Beef, green olives, onion & red bell peppers 9. Caprese (a kind of open-faced empanada) Mozzarella, tomato, fresh basil 12. Ham and Cheese: Just what it sounds like. Pedestrian to my mind, but he likes them lots as his mom makes similar ones for the family and are quite good. The empanadas were excellent as I've chronicled (to an overly mawkish, and embarrassing format), and we got more chimmichuri sauce by request. It's oily and garlicky and well worth the calories. Enough is never enough? Our server was the owners daughter and related to us they'd been open for about 7 months. That we found the place sheerly by serendipity was a boost to our morale. No, we didn't get freebies, no the "ad" isn't sponsored. We just liked the place. We didn't even allow the our *very* gracious server to deduct the smoothie she didn't bring us with our meal (we got it later, mango in fact); we want this place to to thrive as I know *I'm* going to bring people here. Pay for it and they will stay (open). The *only* thing I asked for was that when I came there again, "The Crazy Mix" was what I was going to get and I wanted the same or more stuff that I saw over at table-neighbors had. I saw it. I was there... so I can relate what I saw: "The Crazy Mix (For Two people)"** Includes: Argentinian Sausage, Chicken, Pork Ribs, Pork Chops, Beef Ribs, Steak and Served with 2 sides. It's an OBSCENE amount of food for $80. I'm not kidding. Kilos of the stuff and that's not an exaggeration. Killer deal. Our table neighbors offered us some that we politely refused while I eyed the leftovers but they gave us some leftover French fries that themselves filled a large basket. And it will be mine in due course. I had the restaurant folks promise me even if they got stupidly successful, I want past the velvet rope should they ever need them and the same or more of the Crazy. You may note the ChocoFlan pic...it's really good. Especially the caramel that soaked into the chocolate cake part. **(NO IT'S NOT. It's for like 3-5. No Kidding - You've been warned) read more

doing my first review on this platform, travelled an hour over to try this, and it did NOT disappoint in the slightest. empanadas were delicious! ham and cheese + sweet beef were flavorful, and not greasy or oily. dough was flaky and soft. entree (as pictured) was crispy and thin, extremely cheesy, and does not hold back on it's portion. ambiance is comfortable and inviting, and staff are friendly and attentive! would travel the hour and change to come back again, and soon! read more

Food is great as well as the portions. The service was good and nice ambience. Will return for dinner.

Stopped in to see what this place was about. The name certainly throws you for a loop. Anyway, Wow!! This place is gorgeous. It's the old Michaels pastaria. I met the owners wife while I was there and she was incredibly nice and offered me a sample of dessert that they sell. It was a Dulce de leches croissant type pastry. It was very good. She told me they have all sorts of coffees. They even have affogatos which my gf is going to be thrilled about. This time I wasn't hungry, just curious to check out so I only got one empanada. I opted for the spinach & cheese with bechamel sauce. (Now when I tell you this was out of this world) WOW! I mean I'm still thinking about it days later. This variety was shaped different than most empenadas. In a good way. I would have ordered 5 had I known how good they are. The best spinach bread combo item I've ever had. It came with little cups of sauce that were both very good. I drank the rest straight from cup. One was garlicy and the other more vinegary. Cant wait to come for dinner and try their Milenesas which are Argentinian style cutlets which you have your choice of meats: Chicken, Pork, & Beef. I was also told they make sangria. read more

I tried the Choripan and it was amazing. Very authentic Argentine chorizo and the bread was very fresh.
