The food is affordable and prepared fresh per order. Great place for a quick lunch. The one change I would make is more seasoning since I personally prefer heavy spices.

Great place to get fresh empanadas but the only gripe that I have is that they are extremely cheap when it comes to the sauces. I ordered over 7 empenadas and only recieved 2 small sauce cups. The empenadas are already expensive so getting extra cups of sauce that are worth less than 10 cents shouldn't be a hassle.

I've had this place occasionally over the years, and the empanadas are always great. Some of the best I've had. The bacon egg and cheese one is great. I personally love the corn flour based ones, they have such a great crispy/chewy crust. Generous fillings. They must make these to order because even after I ordered it was about a ten minute wait for 4 empanadas, so be aware.

Empanadas Cafe in Corona is a true Queens treasure! đ„ With dozens of fillings and three types of doughâwhite, corn, and whole grainâevery bite is fresh, authentic, and packed with flavor. Cozy vibes, quick service, and homemade helados make it the perfect spot for a delicious, affordable meal.

Definitely some of the best empanadas around. Great place to grab for before the Queens Zoo or Hall of Science nearby. Empanada fillings are generous and the skin is well fried without being overly greasy.

I ordered the chicken and I wasnât sure if it was ground beef. I ordered the beef, took one bite and⊠no this was not it. I tried this place because of the reviews, now Iâm convinced those were written by bots. Or maybe Iâm just used to Mamaâs Empanadas across from the mall. A huge fail for me.

Empanada Cafe has raised the bar so high that I cannot have empanadas anywhere else. Hands down just the most perfect empanadas. Always consistent, perfect distribution of filling to shell. Tried every single empanada on the menu. Place is clean, staff run a tight ship and have their business running so smoothly. I recommend ordering ahead so you donât have to wait. There are some high top tables outside. Most people do take away.
Great spot to stop at after Queens Zoo or NY Hall of Science.
Best empañadas in Queens. They offer fried or soft taco empañadas that I canât stop eating. Itâs not fancy - itâs on a street corner. But there are always people hungrily waiting for their orders. Itâs absolutely worth the trip!

The empanadas are okay ... super expensive $3.75 not a big difference for a regular price of $2 in another place
