All of my empanadas were delicious, crispy and still warm despite arriving so late via Ubereats. I didn't want anything heavy so I opted for a few empanadas for dinner last night. My favorite was the chicken fajita empanada. It was bursting with flavors and the taste of the peppers with chicken and cheese were just so delicious as were the cheesesteak and Greek empanadas. It wasn't oily, it was nicely warm and crisp. Highly recommend if you have late night munchies or just want something to snack on and not a heavy meal. read more

It's basically a mama's empanadas with a different name. I forgot where I ordered from for a second when I clawed my way into the bag of food. Everything tasted pretty good because I was craving these empanadas. Of course they are not going to be as good as your location Spanish deli empanadas. The pink sauce is in little cups. They sent me 4 cups of sauce with four empanadas. I love the corn cheese, corn broccoli & cheese, wheat Greek and wheat pizza. Those are my go too foods. When you go to this location the prices are cheaper than online. I highly recommend the flavors. You definitely need sauce because they you get more flavor. read more

Only reason I came here was because Empanada City was closed! Wanted to get it a shot. Booo! Thumbs down Total miss. Disappointing as fuck! I wouldn't ever come back. Shrimp and crab empanadas... TRASH. Artificial crab. Sauce was nauseating. Could barley eat it. Shredded chicken was stuffed and dry. No bueno. read more

Cute little spot in my neighborhood. I tried a chicken one a couple of years ago wasn't really a fan. This time my husband wanted to try it. He ordered the Cuban one and the cheesesteak he raved about it. I again ordered the chicken and it wasn't great. It's bland. And growing up in a Hispanic household it's like you forgot to add sazon /adobo lol. Unfortunately, we didn't get pics as we were eating in the car. Customer service is great. Might go again and just try a different one. read more

Randomly stopped by here as we ended up parking near by and can never say no to empanadas! Tried the spicy chicken as the Mac and cheese ones. Both were pretty well flavored and delicious! We only stuck with 2 as we had dinner plans but we'll be back to try more! read more

I enjoy getting the empanadas from this chain. But this visit was underwhelming in the taste of the empanadas. The service was great the employee there was able to take the orders quickly and they cane out pretty fast too. There were a few people inside waiting for their orders. The empanadas i got are: Beef 5/5 was still delicious and they dont skimp on the fullness Pork/pernil 3.5/5 they taste for this was a bit different than what it normally tastes kike Bacon mac and cheese 4/5 gooey but the bacon didnt sit right. Ill get the regular mac and cheese next time. Chicharrón 4/5 this one is a new menu item. I was surprised at the taste it includes chicharrón rice and beans. I didnt like the taste of the beans much but the chicharron was good it had different cuts from the meats to the fats of the chicharrón which made it fun to eat. Guava and cheese 5/5 always love the guanva and cheese. Have to eat this right when it comes iut (or heat it up if its been some time) to get the cheese and the guava to melt into each other. If you can add a sprinkle of sugar on top of this empanada for more flavor. I got one of each for a total of $17 which is a little pricier compared to their queens location in which it would be $12-13 instead. Their proces here are about .50 cents more. Not sure if ill return to this location as the queens one is better read more

The Mamis empanada initially doesn't stand out from the rest but is very savory and it makes a good breakfast/brunch on the go: rice and eggs with small bits of ?beef. Maybe it's me but rice and eggs are a comfort meal and it was really good here. I also got the chicken wheat empanada which was dry, don't recommend. Tostones are large and decent value for $6. Only complaint, sauce containers are very small and filled halfway, you need at least 2 or 3. Be prepared for wait at least 10 min, food seems made to order. Great service, patient and professional despite my indecisiveness at first! read more

Was hungry and looking for pizza on Easter Sunday but most pizzerias were closed. So gave The Empanada Spot a shot. They did not disappoint! Got the bandeja paisa and 3 empanadas for my wife and I for $30. It was plenty of food for us so I set aside some for lunch the next day. Pleasantly surprised at the fried pork rind, juicy and with enough meat on the skin. Steak was good too, not tough and chewy. I do t like fried eggs but my wife liked the sunny-side up egg. And the rice and beans was just like your Hispanic mama's home cooking. Fair deal for ~$20. The three empanadas were great too and came with spicy green sauce and mayo/ketchup. We tried the beef & chili and mozzarella ones. Cheese empanada was great, cheese was nice and doughy, with a slight acidic kick. Beef and chili wasn't too spicy but the sauce makes up for it. Left the beef empanada for tomorrow's lunch but I'm sure it'll be good. Overall, the place is an excellent, no-frills local eatery. Give them a try and I'm sure you'll like classic Colombian food. read more

One of the best empanada spots in NY. The empanadas aren't half filled, over fried, nor flavorless. If anything, the complete opposite. I've lived in Williamsburg my whole life and i'm glad to see there is another spanish restaurant being added to the neighborhood. The service is amazing as well. I always get treated like family. Also, there are so many flavors to choose from. My favorites are Cheeseburger, Spicy Chicken, and Bacon Mac & Cheese; alongside the green & red sauce. DE-LISHHHH! Their bandeja paisa is a great entree, as well as the chicharrón con arepa. They also added picada to their menu. Personal favorite of mine, can't wait to try theirs! read more

Tried the beef empanada and the chicharron, let me say DO NOT SLEEP ON THE CHICHARRON ONE. I will order it everyday now.

This place is terrible. The cashier seems to overcharge everyone. I was overcharged andBeef Empanada the person behind me was overcharged. The empanadas are Chicken Empanadaseverely overpriced. Then to top it off the cashier is rude beyond belief. The empanadas are filled with 95 percent potatoes. If I order a chicken empanada I would expect it to have chicken in it and not a strand of chicken in mostly potatoes. I didn't go there for a knish. Avoid this place at all cost!!!!!! read more

They're on uber eats which is great!!! I had a few different empanadas and I also ordered the bandeja paisa which was delicious! The steak was cooked to perfection it was juicy and flavorful. I also had the sweet plantain and cheese empanadas and the Hawaiian. I couldn't decide which one I loved more!! Can't wait to try the rest read more

If you're looking for delicious, affordable, flavorful and unique food - this is the spot. Not only is the menu hugeeeeee, but it is so creative and fun with dozens of creative empanada flavors. The staff was so helpful in making decisions because we couldn't decide what we wanted on our own. We tried the cheeseburger, pepperoni pizza, cheesesteak and chicken fajita empanadas. You're probably thinking to yourself that these sound a little questionable, but I'm telling you these were so flavorful and incredible I can't stop thinking about them. Of course we paired them all with the pink sauce to add even more flavor. We also got the mozzarepa, as they have an assortment of arepas as well. This was also beyond tasty and I'm still dreaming about it. read more

The worst Sancocho I ever had, the beef in it was tasteless. The sancocho itself had no Latin flavor. Would NEVER buy from here again

Really good new spot! Got empanadas for the family the other day and we really enjoyed them! Even my 2.5 year old enjoyed the Philly cheesesteak flavor! So yum! The sweet plantains were really good. And we got the kids chicken tenders with fries. They were normal chicken tenders didn't seem homemade but they were good, nonetheless. The spicy green sauce is really good. Can't wait to try the other food there. The grilled chicken salad looks really good. We will definitely be back. Great addition to the neighborhood! read more

These are the worst empanadas I've had in my entire life. Also one of the worst meals in general. I thought I was being too harsh the first time I tried it so I gave it a second try, and genuinely nothing tasted good. The cheese tasted like glue and the tomato sauce was bland. Sad thing is the crust and basic architecture of the empanadas are fine, but the various fillings are genuinely awful. read more

I was browsing my Uber eats and ran across The Empanada Spot. I once had cheeseburger empanadas from Elite and I loved it. So, I decided to try it from here. I was really disappointed to find that within the empanada was just bland ground beef loaded with American cheese. No flavor no zest no essence of a cheese burger. I also ordered the philly cheese steak empanada and within that was a few strips of steak and once again LOADED with American cheese. No peppers or onions just strips of chewy steak and loads of cheese. Which honestly left a funny after taste. Maybe they have better tasting empanadas? But I'm telling yu cheeseburger and cheese steak is not it folks! Happy eating! read more

Rounding up from a 3.5 because two of the three empanadas I tried were pretty good. I got the spicy chicken empanada, cheesesteak empanada and shrimp and crab empanada. Shrimp and crab was my least favorite, had a weird sweet taste and texture wasn't ideal. The cheesesteak was good but the quality of the meat could have been better. The spicy chicken was great, flavorful and well-balanced. It wasn't actually spicy, but it was delicious. The empanadas themselves were crispy and fried perfectly. A good spot to try if you're in the area and in the mood for some fried goodness, but stick with the more popular items. They're popular for a reason. read more

They were a 5 star rating until I went in today to purchase 2 empanadas in wheat flour for my daughter in law who is expecting and wanted them so bad, one chicken in corn flour, and 2 guava and cheese in wheat. When I got home what was supposed to be guava and cheese was only one and the other was pizza. When my daughter in law went to eat her empanadas one of them had a hair in it. I figured I would call and speak to them about what occurred since I have been going there regularly, upon speaking to Sonia and expressing the wrong order for the guava and cheese and the empanadas with the hair in it. She told me that was impossible and to bring the empanada back tomorrow when I come in for a replacement. She also mentioned if I don't bring it, it won't be replaced. So I proceeded to explain to her that I wasn't interested in a replace since I will no longer be visiting that location to purchase from them. Not only because of the error because that can happen in any business but more because of Sonia's response in disbelief that there was a hair in it, questioning my credibility. She goes on to ask what do I want her to do as if I expect her to deliver them. I am enclosing a picture of the empanada with the hair in it and asking to speak with management tomorrow, hoping she is not the manager because her customer service is deplorable. read more

The woman here is super rude. Ignored me the other day even after I came to the counter and said he'll. When she had me my food bluntly and with an unpleasant tone said,"bye..." then today I went in a handed me my food and said,"this isn't for you though. You are delivery. It says Malcolm?" I am Malcolm... I'm gay and have a high pitched voice. But I'm male and identify as so and even if I was an trans that didn't translation you shouldn't treat them as female if that's what they refer to themselves as. Point is I said I'm Malcolm she was playing dumb and trying to offend me. Please don't go here because they discriminate. read more

We tried this a couple times, and we couldn't be happier. The Chicken Fajita wheat flour empanada is amazing! The Beef and Chicken corn empanada are a very good close second.

It is what it is. Tasty. I don't think you can F up an empanada but I do love this place...Because it exits. Sooooo, obvio any of the sweet empanadas are fantastic of course, also they have all kinda savory for whatever flavor you're craving.... but they have the MFing motzarepa! Which is like hot, buttery, kinda sweet cornbread with a slice of mozzarella melted inbetween like an arepa... and I'm kind of obsessed. It really slams.... into the right spot. The Empanada Spot is a little pricy.. for an empanada.. 1 for $2.85, the value meal is really not valuable unless you're looking for basic and a free soda.. otherwise it's secretly similar in price (I did the math while waiting for my bangin motzarepa)... but props to the company for trying to get that cheddar.. I had two giant motzarepas .. i mean... why not... but other then that... oh!! Omg! I almost forgot!! I almost didn't get the buttery snack and they almost didn't get this review! ... i waited in line for a short amount of time before i was slapped down! And told to leave... i had forgotten a mask.. I didn't know!! Most places seem to be cool now, never the less -I had to run back to my double parked truck (there is street parking) where thankgod I, like the empanadas, had a plethora of masks to choose from... and came back to just wait in line all over again.. SO MAKE SURE YOU BRING A FRIGGING MASK. You will NOT be served. So if you want that good good, vaxxed or not, mask that shit up. read more

Good green sauce.. but unfortunately the empanadas I tried (Mamis, Biagra) were dry and unflavorful.
