The empanadas are amazing. Light and flaky exterior with warm, well seasoned ingredients inside. Very tasty!

I came all the way from The Bronx, NYC, and wow — these are the best, most authentic empanadas I’ve ever had! Cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I tried the chicken, shrimp, and beef, and each one had its own amazing taste.

And that sauce… oh my, you could eat the empanadas without it, but it’s so good you’ll want to dip everything in it. Absolutely delicious!

Judy YOU are DEFINITELY the EMPANADA QUEEN. 👑

I wanted to share a little bit of my culture with my church family at our pastor's retirement. My favorite dessert is 'pastelillos de guayaba' as we call them and I remembered the Empanada Queen and asked if she could make a few dozen for the event.
Short story, I picked them up while they were still hot for the 2p Sunday event. Since it was an all dessert event I thought I'll drop them off and come around 3. When I got there, only 1 empaanada was left on the display. Needless to say they went over great. Even though I have celiac, they continue to be my favorite.
I asked if she would try to make some gluten free ones and she was open. When she does I will be her best customer. 🤫😋

I took a tray to a family party and Ohmygosh they were a hit. I didn't even get a bite! Everyone loved them -- I'll now be expected to bring them to family gatherings from now on 😁

I usually don't leave reviews, but I have to share my experience with this phenomenal empanada catering company. These empanadas are truly one of a kind. Unlike traditional empanadas, which often use a heavier dough, this company utilizes a lighter and flakier dough, adding a refined texture that enhances the overall flavor experience.

The variety offered is impressive, with both savory and sweet options available including shrimp, beef, chicken, vegetable, apple cinnamon, and guava with cream cheese. Whether you're craving something hearty or indulgently sweet, there is an empanada to suit every palate.

For me what truly sets these empanadas apart from any other i have tried is the quality of the filling. Each one is generously packed with fresh ingredients and notably free of excess grease, making them both satisfying and easy on the stomach.

However equally commendable is the owner, whose warmth and family oriented approach makes the entire experience even more enjoyable. Her passion for food and dedication to customer satisfaction are evident. She genuinely strives to ensure that every customer finds a flavor they love.

Delicious! They were the biggest hit at our party! I have only tried the beef and chicken but they were both incredibly delicious.
