Empanadas Restaurants near Lincoln Park, NJ

“This little gem is located across from A&A deli in Lincoln Park NJ. The staff amazing. The food amazing (we had a chipotle chicken, a Philly cheesesteak, and a pulled pork empanada; in addition yellow rice and black bean and a cherry empanada for desert). Would recommend this restaurant 100%. Open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday it’s truly a treat for the tastebuds.“

“Carlos Mexican Kitchen in Little Falls is hands down the best Mexican restaurant around — no contest. From the moment the food hits the table, you know everything is made fresh, authentic, and with serious care. The dishes are bursting with flavor and come in generous portions, so you never leave hungry.

The salsa dips alone are worth the visit— bold, vibrant, and completely addictive. And the corn quesadilla is to die for. Perfectly prepared, packed with flavor, and the kind of dish you find yourself craving again the next day.

What makes this place truly special is how the food transports you straight to a local home in the heart of Mexico. It’s warm, authentic, and full of soul. Nothing feels commercial or rushed — just real Mexican cooking done right.

Also a huge plus: there are several great vegetarian options, which are just as thoughtfully prepared and delicious.

If you love authentic Mexican food, incredible salsa, and meals that feel homemade in the best possible way, Carlos Mexican Kitchen is an absolute must.“

“First time from here tonight.Searched empanadas and this popped up on Uber Eats. Searched the different kinds and was like sold. I’m ordering. Many to choose from but tried these tonight. Philly cheese steak ,lasagna,chicken & corn, spinach & cheese, beef,pepperoni & cheese Tell you was pretty tasty. Was little greasy on spinach & cheese but let sit for a few and was awesome. Have to say I was surprised of the flavors. Very tasty. Will definitely order again. Almost forgot. Saw little red dots on food. Assuming coded to know which ones are which. Interesting....“
