Reviews
Had bad experience at another location, but this one is great! The employees are very sweet, and they packed the food very nicely. The flavor is great. I love their Hawaiian and shredded chicken ones. The sauces (green and red) are both amazing
The menu includes an amazing and tasty variety of empanadas, tapas, soups, salads, sandwiches, sides, desserts, and drinks, as well as a “Typical Colombian Breakfast”. The sitting area is fabulous to enjoy your meal and to people watch, as a mix of music jams. You are taken care of by the low-key friendly crew.
How Empanada Mama has anything short of 5 star rating is beyond me. This company brings nourishing foods to all people with lots of options and diversity for dietary restrictions. Good vegetarian options that are FILLING like the lentil soup, plantains, spinach empanada, even the salad has a generous portion of avocado. And it’s always quality and yummy. And affordable. And they stay open late when everything else closes and the only other option is a slice of pizza. When I finish a night shift and everything’s closed and I have no energies to cook, there’s Empanada Mama. Thank you!!!!
Great food and customer service. You just gotta make it past the weird homelessness happening outside. Great staff, very friendly. Options avaliable for in-house local drinks to complement the delectable empanada servings.
A friend told me about this place and I just had to try it. All empanadas I tried were incredible. I had the jerk and cheese, reggaeton, and el jefe. All were moist and delicious. They give you sauces on the side. We’re ready in 6-10 min.
Nice spot clean pleasant empanadas where good i have had better selection of empanadas but hits the spot when you need a snack ...
They’re kinda pricey for empanadas and they weren’t extra special either with that said they were good but not worth a special trip with the options here in East Village sorry. FINAL VERDICT: not good enough to recommend but still good.
Fillings are not delicious! I got the Mac and cheese one and it tasted ham flavored as k was surprised there was lightly cooked bacon inside. If it ain’t crispy don’t serve it to me. The dough is decent which gives them an extra star. The staff are nice but the empanadas were not jaw dropping 😕
