Great place for a quick and delicious lunch. It's pretty much fast casual, but the taste and quality is that of a home cooked meal. All whole ingredients, cooked from scratch and fresh. Highly recommend.
My bf went to get me empanadas because I’m obsessed but this place takes the trophy the empanadas were perfect enough meat inside crispy and fresh 100% coming back

Amazing whole in the wall spot. I'm puertorican, and it's hard to find a good boricua place in NJ. This place is great. The food is great, and the service is outstanding. They treat their customers like family, and the prices are good. I definitely recommend this spot!

Should one choose to embark on an empanada expedition? Look no further than a visit to this establishment, as the star attraction is their daily assortment of baked empanadas, such as beef stew empanadas, Cuban sandwich empanadas, etc. Tucked in a corner off of Market Street in Clifton, Empanada Spanish Grill is a family-owned business much like a visit to the island of Puerto Rico, with its artwork lining the walls preparing one for exactly how delicious the food will be. I paid them a visit as a first-timer for lunch today, with heavy foot traffic for takeout orders and dining in.The menu isn’t extensive, but the variety of choices features authentic Puerto Rican cuisine such as freshly cooked pernil, barbecue pollo, oxtail, and much more. As an appetizer, I decided on their Cuban sandwich empanada. It was soft and chewy—not crispy-fried but a tad salty. For the main meal, I opted for their special: a plate of beef stew (carne guisado) with white rice and black beans. The food was incredible, as everything was made fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced. The owner and staff were very welcoming and friendly. I can recommend this place.
