Empanadas are baked, which is fine. Had 3x Beef, 1x Chicken, 1x Cuban, 1x Chorizo & Potato, 1x Banana & Nutella. All of them were good, seasoning was pretty good. None of them were oily. There was a slight dryness to it, but I think that's due to the bake and honestly they were still delicious for me and my wife and son. We would come and order from here again.

The food wasn't that great the empanada were very dry. We tried chicken&cheese and cheese steak both had an vinegar after taste. I will say the workers were extremely nice and helpful So with that being said customer service was great.

The worker was really nice, but the empanadas didn’t really measure up . I ordered three empanadas to share a Philly cheesesteak, a buffalo chicken and a spinach feta . The Buffalo chicken was very mid. I felt like they took a frozen chicken cutlet chopped it up and threw some hot sauce in it and made the empanada. The best one was the spinach and feta. It gave what it was meant to give. The Philly cheesesteak was OK at best. My friend ordered the Nutella and banana one and she said it was pretty dry and the banana didn’t taste like it was ripe .

This place is amazing my first time, got the Philly cheesesteak and guava/cheese all I can say is omg flaky kinda small for the money but big on taste
I've seen this spot for many years but never tried it due to the fact it was baked empanadas. Today, I decided to stop by. I ordered the cuban, cheese, the guava and cheese, buffalo chicken, and finally the beef. I loved that the empanadas tasted fresh and that the crust was soft and flaky. Delish! I'm just mad at myself for not going sooner. Definitely will be back!

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY! Steer clear if you have little ones.As my family and I entered the establishment today, there are a myriad of signs on the front door, specifically no outside food or wagon strollers. Luckily, we did not have a wagon stroller and were not consuming the cookies we purchased a few minutes ago from Chip City (delicious, by the way), so we proceeded inside.As we are deciding which empanadas we want, my 1.5 year old asked for a piece of the cookie we just bought. As I opened the bag to break of a piece for my child, an employee shouted “Ma’am, you cannot eat outside food in here!” I explained to her that it’s for my child (who is screaming “More, please!” at this point, as we’re waiting to order. She further exclaimed that we would need to leave if she wants to have a piece. So, that’s exactly what we did. We left. It’s a shame, I do enjoy these empanadas and drive 30 minutes to get them as often as I can. I don’t think I’ll be patronizing this restaurant any longer. This interaction with the staff has left a sour taste in my mouth.I doubt the owner or manager will ever see this. I know these policies are in place for a specific reason and completely understand why they are enforced. However, how your employees speak to customers and enforce these rules matters.RESPONSE TO THE OWNER:I definitely won’t be coming back after your response. Giving a piece of a cookie to a baby while standing in line trying to order food to go is not the same as sitting down and consuming outside food in your establishment. Other customers in your restaurant agreed with us that day. My mother had your employee call the manager who agreed with us as well. But not to worry, we won’t bother you with our presence again.

I got two savory empanadas(spicy potato and chicken and cheese) and one sweet one (Nutella and banana ). The two savory ones were fine. The sweet one didn’t taste like Nutella or banana. It tasted more bland like potato. It was odd. There are other places with empanadas for less money.
I was here today and I only had a large bill to pay with, the “manager” was unable to break the change. When I asked if she If she could begin the order, she gave an attitude and said I had to pay first, even though I was going to walk across the street in very cold weather to appease her, not having change as a business on a very busy road Is absurd. Each manager should have change to accommodate their guests. I work at a food restaurant and we always have to accommodate the guest because money is money. What kind of establishment does not have that adequate change? She was very rude and not accommodating and I suggest If you wanna empanada, there’s many other choices to go to in Montclair

Too many rules, don’t stand here, don’t eat your cookies. No description on what’s in side. Had the Cuban but allergies to pickles and didn’t know there was pickles in empanada. The chicken was good but too expensive, and toooooo many rules. Not going there anymore and don’t suggest it, not kids friendly.

I work down the street at chip city and come here 3 times a week. This is my favorite spot in the area. My favorite is the Philly cheesesteak empanada. The ladies that work there are excellent and the food is so delicious.
