⭐⭐ Made in NJ Empanadas & More

I really wanted to love this spot—empanadas and Made in NJ in the name? That’s a strong opening act.

I ordered four empanadas at $4 each: two chicken, two beef. Unfortunately, both fillings landed flat. No flavor just texture, The beef lacked seasoning, and the chicken was bone-dry—the culinary equivalent of small talk at a long elevator ride.

That said, credit where it’s due: the Ecuadorian-style outer shell was the standout. Nicely textured, crisp on the outside, and clearly made with care. If empanada shells won awards, this one would at least get a nomination.

Bottom line: Great shell, forgettable fillings. With a little more seasoning and moisture, these empanadas could level up fast. Right now, it’s a promising concept that needs a flavor rewrite. 🥟

I could eat from here every day! Elizabeth was missing an actual GOOD Ecuadorean restaurant.(I’ve tried them all) The prices are great and the food is delicious! They also have daily lunch specials which include soup, entree and drink. Also, staff is so friendly! Love them!
