The dough is so light and flaky, unlike any of the Empanada that I've had. I believe that they're baked only and not fried. If you haven't tried their empanadas you are definitely missing out. I highly recommend this place. They also have other things on the menu that I have yet to sample and I'm sure that they're all delicious. The service is great. It's always great. I have been going there since they opened. A must try!!

Small empanada shop located on the Belleville Pike that I pass every day and finally gave it a try…read more I got three empanadas, one ham and cheese, one buffalo chicken, and one guava and cheese. I ranked them in that order as well. The Ham and cheese was pretty good, the Buffalo chicken was really good, and the guava and cheese was outstanding. I would love if they sold a dipping sauce too but I didn't see any. I could have missed it if there were to be honest. The service was excellent and the price was right too......under $10 for three. The parking is a little dicey, it's street only and you have to find it on the side streets. I'm glad I stopped and I will stop again on the way home to try other combinations.

My partner and I were looking for a local breakfast spot when we came across EmpaBake. Right away,…read morewe noticed the display filled with pastries and a tempting selection of savory baked empanadas. We ordered a caramel latte and a cappuccino to start, along with a ropa vieja (shredded beef) and sweet plantain empanada that we couldn't resist. Since they're baked, the empanada crust is light and crisp, with a generous, flavorful filling. It was a little on the dry side but still good. For our main dishes, I had the two egg breakfast with bacon and home fries, while my partner went for the Tres Golpes. Both plates were delicious and served in large portions. We were also surprised with a complimentary warm sesame bun, which was a lovely touch. To finish, I ordered a cortado bold, smooth, and just the right kick. The staff is friendly and always ready with the warm greeting especially for their regulars. The decore is simple but I did enjoy the large window painting. We'll definitely be back to try more empanadas and maybe a pastry (or two). Street parking only, but finding a spot wasn't difficult.

Which I thought was really kind for them to do. Overall, I would come back here whenever I am around the area and try the other foods they have.

You can just stand there and watch the baked goods churning around in the back. You can order prepared foods from a wall menu, or the various baked goods they have on display, combinations... they are there to patiently take your order! Even if the place feels industrial, we're talking Newark, so. Of course, custard cups are still as amazing as ever. I got another of their wonderful desserts - bolo rei, was it? - rich and dense with raisins. Wonderful. And arrufada de coimbra, a bread roll topped with coconut, just to try something different. Like I said before, I have an urge to drive back, but this time it's not just for the pastels de nata. It's for all the things.

Hello. Welcome to FlavorTown~!…read more Came back for the Bueno Box. Good, indeed. Delicious. A simple salad, amazingly delicious~! Rice, yum. I had the beef/olive, the veggie (rice/bean/veg - I saw corn), and the Caprese. So, the mayo sauce is mild. The green sauce is a chimi-churi I believe, and the red sauce is a spicy relish. All 3, yum, though the red is spicy. Variety? Indeed. Delicious? For sure. The empanada crust is exactly as it should be; crispy and tasty. Worth a visit. Recommended.

They offered a wide selection of empanadas and with great quantity. The taste of the empanadas were great although the price for them were a little high for my liking. What I did enjoy was that they offered to heat it so I can eat it on the go as well as they filled them up nicely. I particularly liked the chicken one the most, the beef felt the most filling, while the pulled pork one tasted like a classaic pulled pork sandwich stuff in an empanada.

Opened just two years ago in a little strip mall consisting of 2 stores off S Main St in Lodi, I came to Empanadas NJ Cafe as a first-timer for lunch. Upon entering this cozy shop with 3 tables for dining, I was greeted by the staff at his family-owned/family-run establishment specializing in Argentinian empanadas. These, put simply, are savory baked hand-held pastries. A large selection menu featured everything from Beef, Chicken, Ham & Cheese to Apple Pie, Hawaiian, and Guava & Cheese. One can't go wrong with any of the options. After speaking with Lucas, the owners' son, he recommended their popular Beef, Chicken, and Cuban Empanadas. They arrived hot. Each empanada was identified with the initials on the left side border. The shells were not greasy. They were packed full with the flavorful fillings with the accompanied Chimichurri sauce and were delicious. The price was comparable to the area.
