Empanadas Restaurants near Paterson, NJ

“I love they empanadas it’s the best in town LITERALLY 🔥🔥“

“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....“

“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.“

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

I live in Pennsylvania and my family lives a few blocks from the restaurant.

The Cuban seems like their favorite. Mine also.
Keep up the great work.“

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).

“I've been coming here since 2005. I must say since the owners nephew came, he's kicked-up the menu and decor. The food was always good but the nephew made some great changes. I love the breakfast here! The servers Ana and Madelyn are very polite, friendly and always have a great attitude. I was surprised the other day when I mentioned it was our wedding anniversary, they surprised us with a cake and sparkling candle!!🕯
The food is always delicious!“
