They have the best empanadas around, over stuffed and delicious. I also love their pernil with yellow rice and maduros.

Good quality empanadas. Bad service. There was only two customers in the store, I was behind the first customer who was being served by one of the store workers. The other store worker did not acknowledge me until about 20 minutes, and still did not take my order. When I finally insisted, the two workers and the one customer looked at me as though I was doing something wrong.

The food was amazing and it is a very cool atmosphere. Their cocktails are seriously over priced though at $20ish dollars each

Came from Ohio, heading to NYC. My daughter wanted some empanadas. She had the entertainment app and this place was listed with a percentage off discount. The lady there would not accept the discount, stated that she had not seen it b4. The address was clearly listed on the coupon. We went ahead and paid for the food bc it was already cooked. The food was decent , nothing to write home about, but I’d recommend asking about coupons b4 placing your order. We will not be returning bc we bel in loyalty.

As a family, we ordered 4 different empanadas – BBQ Mac and Cheese, Buffalo Chicken & 2 Southwestern (chorizo). My favorite was the buffalo chicken as I felt that had the most flavor. The southwest chorizo was also delicious. I wish the BBQ mac and cheese had a bit more flavor/spice then it did. Only other thing was we didn’t know which empanada was which until we bit into it so we had to try them all and trade but other then that, would definitely eat again.

I want to thank FIOS1 Restaurant Hunter and Christine Sloan for shining a light on this location. I drive on Bloomfield Ave twice a day to and from work. I never knew some good food was close. We stop in today and I am so glad we did. We was greeted upon our entrance walked to the counter to place our order.

Their empanadas are really good. They are not stingy at all with their food. The staff were really nice to us. We will be going there again.

Cynthia’s Empanada Lady food truck was the star feature at my kids’ graduation party. Yes, the empanadas are delicious! But on top of that, she takes great pride in her business and she treated me like family. We had 75 teenagers over and everyone raved about the food! Cynthia is a beautiful person and I will definitely be visiting and hiring her food truck again.
