Empanadas Restaurants in Bronx, NY

“Went to the brand new Houston location and things are a bit rocky with staffing and supplies but I want to brag on your employee CAMILLA ! We came from NC and after visiting Puerto Rico several times I was so excited for this experience! She was so patient with us! Answered all our questions with a very helpful and cheerful attitude even tho she was drowning in drink orders! With only one other helper, she never showed any frustration and provided excellent above and beyond customer service! The cashier with her was brand new and super sweet as well! Camilla even gave me a hug when we left! She made my whole morning! And gave us the absolute best breakfast recommendation as well! Thank u so much Camilla for your grace and kindness this morning. U had no idea that my Morning started out so crappy, and your sweet personality and loving spirit really turned my day around and the tres leches latte was AMAZING 🙌🏼🩷💯 yall go see them and be patient …..it’s worth the wait ❤️ side note… the whole place is decorated beautifully! Love the swings ✅“

“Staff was very polite, friendly and the food was great and fresh. I highly recommend.“

“Listen, I’ve visited New York about three times now, and every single trip I make it a priority to stop at this bodega. I first discovered it during a tour on my very first visit, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

They sell a variety of things, but let me be clear—the empanadas are the star of the show. Oh. My. Gosh. They are packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and BIG. You can literally get full off just one.

If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and try their empanadas. I have to warn you though: once you taste one from this spot, you’ll never be satisfied with an empanada from anywhere else. You’ll only crave theirs.

Highly recommend!“

“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

“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!“

“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!“

“I went to this restaurant, because I was curious about this place. I went in and ordered a chicken empanadas and a small Salchipapas. Both tasted so good, and the way the hot dog bites blended with the French Fries and melted Mozzarella cheese made me enjoy my stay. Thank you for the delicious food. The cashiers who served me were beautiful and wonderful people. Thank you for giving me the strength to go back to work in my college. This is a nice restaurant to dine in.“

“So come here for the first time is strictly amazing. I wanted to make sure that everyone knows this. I always pass this location when I come out of work, but I wanted to check it out to see what they have at some of the photos here that you guys can see and the person register is simply amazing. Great service and highly recommend !!!!“

“🤠 u want good food go there“

“Loved the mango smoothie and the chicken empanada. I was curious about the place, and checked it out. The place looked very polished, well-maintained, and the customer service was quick. I stayed to savor the mango smoothie. When you buy the empanada, the sauce is automatically put with your order. Would come back. The lovely cashier appreciated my compliment of the store. I realized that their IG is a very sizable following. Videos and clips of the manager, people dining, their food and menu. The other day, the Pina juice drink was amazing. Natural and delicious!“
