Mama’s Empanadas
“These empanadas were really good and slightly larger than the ones I've had at Empanadas Cafe near Corona, Queens.”
“It was a great choice not a place to sit down and eat but it has a couple of stools to sit on.”
“On a cold and rainy day, while watching the rangers play, we decided to crack open an old bottle of scotch, and order Empenada Mama for pickup.”

I came here several times for a quick snack during the weekend. I ordered chicken, beef, and seafood empanadas which all tasted hearty, warm, and filling. My favorite was the beef which had the most flavor. The chicken on the other hand was dry and the seafood did not contain much seafood. Do want to note, the 2 times I went, I had to wait 20 minutes for the empanadas.
Pretty solid good take-out food, not so much fast. But their empanadas are tasty and they have a nice variety of wheat, corn, savory and sweet. Also they have some regular dishes like carne asada, tamales, etc. good munchie & party foods. They come in appetizer size as well. Mmm..
I love their sweet empanadas. I have tried the savory ones and I don't like them at all, the dough has no flavor whatsoever. Now to the dessert empanadas, I love the guava and cheese and the caramel and cheese. Both are delicious and I could eat like 10.
Yum yum yum! Try the Hawaiian! THE BEST.
I do like this place. My fiancé and I will get random cravings for these empanadas a few times a year. I think the actual space is small and usually packed with soda boxes and the cashiers are usually terrible. However, I can look past that because the empanadas are huge and cost under $2.
Make sure you get an Inca Cola on the side. Thank me later.
This place is delicious. They have the option of baked instead of fried empanadas for those that can be somewhat healthy while still enjoying a delicious empanada. They have a great selection of fillings. I particularly like their greek empanada. It's good for takeout as there aren't any seats.
I could have sworn I wrote a review for this place. I have been here 1001 times and still love the fact that it's delicious food with no frills. Sometimes they will have supplies left outside in the sitting area. I assume that is how small the place is. I assume the food is fried or baked on the spot being it takes an extra minute to get food when you order there. Delivery takes forever and sometimes the empanadas are cold, well not cold but room temperature and it's not as good warm. I even admit though I like this place so much, they messed up one of our orders and didn't include all we ordered, it's right on the receipt. They did not correct themselves. Shame on them for being such good customers. But then again, everytime I go there's someone different at the ordering station, so those are hired staff that some do not care. But often enough they are friendly.
The Steinway location is closer and even cleaner/brighter for it's newness. But this one came first as a "local" to me and with it's dated feel, it feels more original or homely to me.
I have tried every one. One of my favorite is pizza. Pizza is on the Wheat Menu and taste like a Hot Pocket but better x10. But if the preference is to use their awesome green sauce, then pizza is not the choice because who puts green sauce on pizza, choose the Chorizo on the Corn Menu. Cheesesteak is not too bad and Greek and is good. Mac and Cheese is bland and could be better.
At about $2 each, a few of them adds up in order to fill one up. They also have steak but it appears to be ghetto flank steak.
Quick service and cheap. Good take out food. I usually order the USA which contains apples. I really like the broccoli and cheese empanadas. Locations helps build a following and repeat customers. The eating area looks plain. Decor lacks any spark. Very plain looking.
During the weekdays I see many young people come to this place after they go clubbing. It comes across as a drunken food place when I see that. The convenience pays off.
There is something very comforting when eating fresh hot fried empanadas. I ordered, beef, chicken and cheese with broccoli for about $8.00. You can order corn or flour empanadas. I always get their corn, it tastes much better. After putting in your order you have to be patient, because you have to wait about 5-10 minute because empanadas are cooked when you order them, which guarantees fresh crunchy, piping hot pockets of goodness. I normally get their green sauce which is a little spicy (love spicy) but my friend made me try their pink sauce is a little bit creamier and savory (ketchup and mayo mixed together) still not sure about that one. This is one of the best places which offers a variety of different empanadas which is a must try but pick with caution because the chance of over ordering is very high because there is so many to choose from.
