This place was recommended by a friend. Small establishment family owned. STELLA was delightful. She works side by side with her daughter. You can see she really enjoys cooking up her delishous empanadas and they take pride in what they do. The variety of empanadas ! Wow ! And desert empanadas also. There are so many to choose from. BBQ pulled pork, Philly cheese steak, buffalo chicken, mozzarella garlic and parsley were some of the best. Prices are good. Marinated grilled Chicken sandwiche and chori burger was delicious, so much flavor. Fries are on the crispy side as they are deep fried. If you like this kind of chip taste from a French fry then you will love these. If not I suggest getting a salad. The cost of a dozen fried is a great deal. If you want them baked it cost a lil more and will take a lot longer. So call ahead. They also do fundraisers and have a food truck. Call for more info. I'd have given a 5 star but I'm big on customer service. Upon entering it felt a lil akward when it should have felt welcoming. As this was my first time I believe you should give a friendly introduction no matter how busy you may be. You should make the time and give attention to the customers in front of you instead of the people who are calling in orders. It shows you care about the customers experience by puttingthem first. It sets the tone for your experience and for me will determine if I become a returning customer. I do recommend all the empanada lovers out there come and try Stella's Empanadas you won't be disappointed!Kid-friendliness: Kids love empanadas !

Despite going before closing and the reheating of the empanadas was crispy adjacent … the actual empanada stuffing WAS AMAZING! Spicy chicken and Buffalo chicken were seasoned to perfection. Because of the filling will try again BUT earlier in

Was at the Gem and Fossil convention and stumbled upon this GEM of a food truck. Easily the best empanadas I’ve ever had. I got there late and they were sold out of most, but they had a Mac and cheese one that was INCREDIBLE. The chimichurri is some of the best, most flavorful ever. Will 1000% be back, the workers (or owners) were also so nice and gave me extra empanadas for no charge because they were closing soon! Thank you!

Such a great experience with lauren as our server! The food was amazing- loved the garden margarita and corn bread! Highly recommend!

Justin

Ordered a 15 empanadas today, mostly beef of some kind. The filling was bland and no sauces included. Purchased two hot sauces and they tasted like they were poured from a bottle. This place is most definitely overrated as well as overpriced. If you’re thinking about going here for empanadas, snap out of it and head to Domingo’s Bakery on Kearny Ave!

Very friendly atmosphere, good quick service, and tasty empanadas that are a good size (they also make dessert empanadas).

My boyfriend stopped by, and he said the servers were nice and very accommodated. We had the beef, beef with cheese and chicken empandas. Delish! It was crispy on the outside and the inside had favor and it was a party in my mouth
