Mama's Empanadas

Delicious empanadas with a wide variety of flavours to choose from, the texture of the pastry is outstanding. Steak and cheese (which was recommended) was surprisingly good

Vegetarian options: The Portobello Mushroom empanadas are amazing

Google maps states this establishment closes at 2:30AM, I got here at 1:35AM and the door was closed. There are people still eating in this establishment. When calling the establishment, we see the woman answer and she was very rude. Fix your times on Google Maps if it’s not correct!

The many different choices of empanadas is amazing. They all taste great but we love the baked cheese empanadas. Service is good. Efficient and fast. More of a take out than sit down place tho.

Order is always wrong Receipt said 22$ but was charged 24

Cada empanada debe tener su salsa no debe ser así lo siento mucho deben avisar en la compra de todas las personas decirles por tel cuando ordene que cambio la forma , no avisan

Vibe is come as you are!!! Excellent for lunch, or a quick bit. Seems low-key and staff was organized and helpful. Now for the food: Dropped by to kill time as my phone was being fixed nearby and spotted this spot right across the street. Wish I had access to my phone to take pics of how juicy my chicken fajita and cheese steak empanadas were. Had the option to have baked or fried empanadas, but I went with fried, because let's face it... I wanted a treat. I choose the less spicy rose sauce (maybe Mayo based?). Both empanadas were hot, fresh, crispy and absolutely delicious. Not too salty as many Spanish restaurants tend to be. Hands down the best empanadas I've had in NYC thus far. Worth $3 each. If my mom made empanadas, this would be it. Be careful eating them as they can get messy if you want to inhale it the way I did. The cheese sauces squirted out onto my pregnant belly both times... my kid is gonna love this place. Since I'm a few months in with child, I have to use the restroom every 3 blocks in the city. I must say it's tight in their restroom, but the toliet looked clean, and all stationaries were stocked. It gets the job done-- no complaints if you truly need it. If you have a significantly high BMI, your butt cheeks might graze up on the tissue paper dispenser--- so you might wanna try the baked empanadas. Nevertheless, 10/10 recommend for something warm comforting and quick.
