Empanadas Restaurants near Englewood, NJ

“Excellent place!!! Everything is top- notch!!! Highly recommended!“

“Taste just like my Argentinian friend cooked it!) 💛💛💛 Great stuff“

“Stop the presses!! I found a great new restaurant where artistry trumps slinging hash. It’s Pop Empanada, re-christened Pop Pasta Supper Club on Thursdays and Saturday nights. On those days, Chef Nicolas Pescatore prepares a 6 course meal, and even if you don’t like every course, you will appreciate the artistry and the ambition. Tonight, the courses were 1. celery avocado salad (replacing salmon, which this landlubber doesn’t like), 2. shrimp empanada in a butter curry sauce, 3. pork belly confit, 4. raviolo-soft boiled egg center in a brown butter sage sauce, 5. brisket ragu paccheri pasta, and 6. dessert of frangelica panna cotta key lime shortbread crumble. The cost with tip is around $100 per person plus the cost of your BYOB. We wouldn’t pay that cost often, but it’s a welcome break from the restaurants where kitchen staff show up at 4 PM and are ready to serve at 5pm.“

“A hidden gem nestled in the heart of Sutton Place, 787 Coffee curates an exceptional coffee and pastry experience. Their infused coffee beans make for a unique treat each time. The attention to detail here is gratefully refreshing in a city where most coffee enterprises sell mass-produced goods. 787 offers a much needed pleasant respite.“

“Awesome spot. Really good coffee and atmosphere“

“My latte. Wow. Amazing. And the ladies were so sweet too!“

“DELICIOUS! Tender, flakey crust, moist and flavorful stuffing!! best ever.“

“Awesome spot. Really good coffee and atmosphere“

“Thanks the empanadas are the best“

“Everything was so good. We ordered a variety - including their chicken, jalea (think fried seafood mix DONE RIGHT), empanadas, chaufa, and flan. I'm not a flan person, but this was THE BEST FLAN I've ever had.
The empanadas are baked, perfectly seasoned, and feel homemade with love. The owners were so attentive and thoughtful, giving us great recommendations. I would 100% be back.“

“Great Customer Service Quick service“

“I was passing through the avenue and suddenly I saw this place, which caught my attention, since I am Argentine and I saw that they sold empanadas. The truth is that the girl's attention was excellent, the empanadas not only reminded me of Argentina, but they were very well made with local and international products. They sell yerba mate from brands such as La Merced, Taragüí and mañanita. The truth is that I highly recommend it, it is a great experience, the prices are around $15/$20 and everything goes with a combo and sodas. Very, very good place!!“

“The food was excellent! I ordered the New York strip, and it was cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and full of taste. The service was even better! Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel special. I'll definitely be coming back! Jose was our server and he was great!“

“This place slaps. I come here pretty often and have tried a lot on the menu—it never disappoints! The nachos are done the proper way (fresh fried tortillas quartered, individually topped, and baked, rather than just a pile of chips with things plopped on). The chilaquiles are dope. Their salsas are great, too!“

“Kevin digale al chef no poner mucha sal a las lentejas please.“

“I enjoy tasting empanadas from all types of places. Empanada Mama is by far the best of any place I’ve ever tasted!! The portions were stunning, the food was full of flavor, the menu is large, and the dessert empanadas are just as amazing as the savory ones! Definitely some comfort food right here ❤️ Amazing delivery as well“

“I was in the Penn Station area today and had a craving for fried chicken. Initially, I was thinking about going to a certain Filipino fried chicken chain, but after checking the ratings, Pollo Camino came out on top. They’ve recently opened a new branch near Penn Station, but I ended up visiting their 8th Ave location instead — a small, single-storefront shop with a simple interior.

I ordered the fried chicken set for $9.99, which came with two pieces of chicken, a piece of bread, one side, and a drink for an extra $1.
• Drink: I went with their Horchata, made with peanuts and vanilla ,milk, without the cinnamon and rice I’m used to. It had a nice aroma, refreshing, and a bit different — in a good way.
• Side: I chose yuca fries, served in large sticks. The inside was dense than potato, with a lightly crisp exterior. Personally, I wasn’t a fan — I’d say skip this and go for another side.
• Fried Chicken: Lightly battered with a noticeable blend of spices and herbs. The meat was tender, while the skin wasn’t the super-crispy kind you’d get from those well-known Louisiana or Kentucky-style chains. Flavor was solid, but here’s an important tip — just like with many fried chicken places, don’t let it sit too long. Once it cools, the saltiness becomes much more pronounced.

Service gets a full 5 stars in the fast-food category — no self-service pick-up here, they bring your food right to the table.

Overall, Pollo Camino is worth trying if you’re around Penn Station. The price is fair, the chicken is flavorful, but choose your side wisely and eat it while it’s hot. Next time I’ll try a competitor for comparison, but for now, my top spot still belongs to Louisiana chain.“

“This is an excellent Dominican spot close to Fort Lee that I will be a regular customer of going forward. Like the other reviews say, the flavor, quality, service, portion and prices are ALL on point here which is rare. Hopefully things don’t change anytime soon“

“Ambiance is not great but the food is good and affordable. Our server Sorelly was awesome. They don’t sell fruit juices only coffee, soda and water. There is also additional charge for gratuity and credit card processing fee. Anytime I am in the area I stop in to get a nice bowl of lentejas.“

“I called this morning at 6am to inquire how long it would take them to make 3 dozen empanadas, for a work event, they said ten mi utes! They saved my day. The empanadas were a hit at work! They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“Best bakery ever. Best Cuban sandwich in town, and everything else. The pasteleros, the café con leche , the ham croquettes every top quality.“

“The glowing reviews online describe this place perfectly. Speedy and hospitable customer care. The group appreciated our variety of shareable plates. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming like a friend's home. I return here more than I should admit.“

“Awesome fries and Cuban sandwich. Good selection of empanadas. Highly recommend.“

“Overall it was good and I will go back. Food quality and portion was great. Two little outside tables are cute. Nice to have that option on a quieter side street. Service was slow but there was only one server on for the bar, inside tables and outside tables. He did apologize for this. We were in no rush so it was no bother to us anyways.“

“El dia Jueves visite las instalaciones como de costumbre, la comida del lugar es muy rica. Es dificil encontrar unas ricas empanadas y que a la vez te sientas comodo en el lugar; quiero hacer mencion que la Srita. Karen es muy amable, siempre atendiendo con una sonrisa y con un gran entusiasmo. Gracias por su excelente servicio al publicó!!“

“This place is GREAT!!! Decided to attend their Valentine’s Day brunch with karaoke and it was not only a great time but the food was absolutely delicious !! The owner and staff were very sweet and made my friends and I feel very good with the attentiveness. The staff was also very enthusiastic and cheered us on as we sang! They even joined in on the fun with us (our request) ! The cafe is very clean and I truly give everything a 10/10! Wishing great success to this place and I will definitely be returning!“

“Small spot, not a lot of seating. The woman at the counter not the most welcoming but nice enough. The coconut flan was absolutely delicious ($5). Not too sweet. Very creamy. My mom is a flan snob since she makes it herself, and she loved it!“

“As a fat man and a traveler, I've had pastries from all over the world. And these are as good as Ive had anywhere. And the eggs were cooked perfectly on my sandwich. And no one ever cooks eggs perfectly. 5 Stars!“

“NO JOKE! The best empanada I've ever had!!!Its golden, flaky pastry shell was perfectly crisp. The filling itself was chock’full of seasoned meats, onions, and a hint of spice. Every bite was a burst of savory goodness, making it a memorable and must-try treat for anyone seeking an exceptional empanada.

Vegetarian options: Cheese all day! Plenty of options for vegetarians.

Kid-friendliness: Some of the nicest people in the world run this store. They are friendly and what kid DOESN’T like empanadas????!!!!!“

“This is the best smoothie place hands down. You need to get your smoothie done by a girl, not a guy. Preferably the chunky girl.They make it perfect. Not too liquidated, just perfect frothy texture. Anytime I cheat on this place I’m like why did I do it? And they make the beeestttt empanadas. Not too oily , just perfectly cooked. I love this place. And thank god I don’t live near because I would easily weigh 600 pounds.“

“I go for the to go application. My husband likes cakes. We are from Uruguay and we go far from Newark, NJ to get about 3 bags. They serve us very well and the owner was kind and gave us a pudding and we ate it at the holidays. Visit the place and try their cakes“

“Best food in Queens and they do deliveries too and dont forget to order the passion fruit slushies!“

“BB Empanadas is the definition of fast, friendly, and flavorful. The service is consistently great — you pop in, grab your food, and you’re on your way in no time. Perfect for a quick bite without sacrificing quality. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious empanadas with zero hassle.“

“The sweetest, most caring employees. Always make sure nobody feels rushed while also making sure everyone’s orders get out in a timely manner. Food is authentic - great lunch deals for when you’re in a rush but want a complete meal. It’s open 24hrs hence at times it’s a little slower bc there is less staff but overall, always a pleasure doing business with them ?✨??“

“The restaurant was very neat, tidy and clean. The food is delivered in less than 10 minutes. The service was very friendly and personable. The supervisor was very accommodating to the new hire and to the customers as well. I ordered a chimichanga with extra spice. It hit the spot. I would come out to Bronx again.9/10

Vegetarian options: They can substitute and beans for any meat.“

“Great place to eat! I definitely recommend the Churrasco 🥩.“

“Food and service is good as ever so 5 stars, but they changed the menu and all my favorite things are gone. No steak salad, no sweet potato fries, burgers and hot dogs are changed up and not as unique/not as many choices. Will miss the old menu, don’t live in the neighborhood anymore and wont be making the trek out until they change the menu again, used to be my favorite place to eat. Good luck.“

“Excelente bakery y buen ambiente“

“After a long day at Yankee Stadium, my son and I were feeling pretty hungry and decided to explore the area. We stumbled upon this restaurant quite by chance. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, which made us feel comfortable right away.

My son was especially ravenous, and he ate every single bite of his meal—something he rarely does! He kept telling me how delicious his food was, which really made me happy. Overall, it was a great find after a busy day, and we left feeling satisfied and happy.

I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good meal nearby. We’ll be returning next time we’re in the area!“

“Great place to eat - we need to support our mom and pop restaurants!“

“Absolutely love this spot! The empanadas, smoothies, and food are all incredibly delicious—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can really taste the difference. The prices are fair and definitely worth your bucks. They recently got new owners, and they’re doing a fantastic job. The lady who’s always there is so kind and welcoming—it feels like you’re being served by family. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“

“The food was quite good, with rich, hearty dishes that were satisfying overall. However, I would suggest expanding the selection of seltzers and sparkling water, especially considering how heavy the food can be — a crisp, refreshing beverage option would be a great complement.

It would also be nice to see some classic sides like potato salad or macaroni salad offered. They’d pair well with the mains and add a touch of comfort-food nostalgia.

The service was very good — the staff was friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant dining experience.

The atmosphere was fair, though I found the music (mostly reggaeton and trap) a bit loud and one-dimensional. Switching up the playlist to include a broader mix of genres could help create a more balanced vibe, especially in a diverse neighborhood like Hell’s Kitchen.

Overall, it was a good experience with solid food and welcoming service, with just a few tweaks that could elevate it even further.

Thank you.“
