I recommend their beef, chicken, and guava cheese empanadas. Their standard flavors are the best in my opinion! And guava cheese is a delicious dessert empanada. Combined the 3 empanadas usually fill me!
I ordered several empanada and the mini Bandeja paisa. I see a lot reviews saying the food is mediocre. I have to say, I enjoyed the food SO MUCH. I am typically not a fan of Colombian food but this place was delicious. I would absolutely order again!
Empanadas are good. No real atmosphere, it's a place to stop and pickup empanadas and other things and go.
The Empanada Spot Williamsburg offers a variety of empanadas, including Shrimp & Crab, Vegetable, Chicken, and the popular beef, chicken, and guava cheese flavors.

The mini Bandeja paisa is also available and has been praised as delicious by some diners.
The restaurant's atmosphere is spacious and clean, with a menu available in front and inside the establishment.

In terms of service, experiences vary. Some appreciate the owner’s kindness, while others report issues with order fulfillment, including missing items and unhelpful staff. One instance involved the restaurant closing early and not fulfilling an order accepted just before closing time.
