Herald square lacks decent food trucks which pushes me to try Nuchas, I remember seeing them featured on a buzzfeed article, being claimed as one of the must eats in nyc so I decided to give it a shot.
They had a 3 for $9 special so I got the argentine, portobello and jambalaya. The argentine was eh it reminded me of a Jamaican beef patty which I don't really like. The portobello was eh, I would stick to the meat based ones if I were you. The jambalaya was okay not a big fan of their rice filling, it was a little dry and tasteless for me.
A bit overpriced for average food, $9 can you a much better pick me up than 3 small empanadas.
My wife and tried this as a quick bite in Times Square. The prices were super reasonable and the food was pretty good. It wasn't a revelation as far as food goes, but for street food it was well done and satisfying and at the right price. I'd go back again!
Yum yum yum! For a nice snack, I'm glad I stumbled across this place. I got the short rib empanada which I loved! I can taste the taste of the red wine and the delicate meat. My friends had the Argentine and one with curry which was also good as well. Special $9 for 3 empanadas. Try these out!
So my hubbs had left for work and I was all alone to eat whatever in whichever order I wanted.
It a beautifully chilly, sunny day and I strolled my bundled up ass down 32nd to get myself breakfast. I was surveying the area and figured i'd grab myself an appetizer at Nuchas.
I asked for the bacon egg and cheese empanada, but they had already run out. Hmm no other real breakfast-y option so I did what any other foodie would do. I got myself a short rib empanada with a hot cortado.
Hmm. the empanada was okay. I suppose I may be somewhat partial to empanadas I've had in CA. The shortrib was flavorful but a very miniscule amount had been engulfed by the baked dough. The coffee was strong and kicky!
Not bad, just not something I'd crave.
Picked up 2 empanadas to go. The Argentine one was sold out by 5pm (must be good) but I had 2 spicy chicken ones. Even after half an hour, they were still really warm, almost hot. The inside filling was more a chicken stew but there was plenty of flavor, and the red and green peppers were a nice touch. They were absolutely delicious. Little pricey though, $3-4/ empanada. Good location kiosk by Greeley Square
5/25/16 – Had the Argentine Today, it was so good. They were fresh out the oven, it was so warm and the beef was delicious, loved it! Bumping up to 5 stars!!!

Stopped here for a quick bite before heading to the meeting. The line was was not to long and it was right next to the station so I decided to stop and pick up a couple of empanadas. I got the chicken and the argentine (beef) ones. They were served hot and very juicy and delicious.
I prefer the beef but the chicken was great too. Beef had a good flavor mix of sweet and savory.
Will be back for sure given the food and the price
recommended empanadas:
Porto
Spicy Cheese
Short Rib
Spicy Pork
These empanadas are on the healthier side as they are baked. The service in the FiDi truck is great.
