“Review by a half Colombian regarding authenticity… food was delicious, fresh and really big portion size. What I liked most is the picada in other Colombian places is usually all fried but here they grill the chicken and steak. The kids fries with mini hotdogs was also huge for a kid size and great priced, couldent recommend this place enough to all of you. I will def be back for more.“

“I’m so happy that I ignored the reviews and ordered from here anyway. I’m Colombian, so if I think the food is good it’s because it is! Their hot chocolate was authentic and delicious! Their buñuelos are huge which is a plus! The portions of their dishes are perfect. I was extremely happy with my order. I’m so happy that I was able to order through seamless and they delivered to me 2 miles away. My food and drink were hot and fresh! I was so delighted that I even called the restaurant to thank them because their hot chocolate spoke to my soul. I can’t wait to try their soups over the weekend.“

“Torta bellissima e super buona....Un successone da tutti i punti di vista! E la simpatia e la gentilezza dei proprietari sono un ulteriore motivo per raccomandare Bella's Bakery“

“My brother moved by this spot like a month ago and I know this place OH SO WELL. ? I’m in Freeport and I haven’t found empanadas as good as Mamma Gina’s. When I tell you the food just hits every time, they’re honestly so consistently great.

Parking: It’s a small lot, so just take it slow turning into it.“

“**The Empanada Spot – A Hidden Gem That Just Became My Obsession ★★★★★**

I’ve driven past The Empanada Spot a hundred times and always told myself “one day.” Well, that “one day” finally happened last week when a late-night craving hit. Let me tell you: I walked in curious and left absolutely mind-blown.

These are not your average empanadas. I ordered the classic beef, and when they handed me the bag I could already hear the faint sizzle through the paper. One bite and I legitimately stopped in the middle of the parking lot — the dough is perfection. Golden, flaky on the outside, soft and slightly chewy within, with that ideal crisp edge that shatters just right. The filling? Juicy, perfectly seasoned ground beef with a depth of flavor that makes you wonder how something so simple can taste this good. It was still piping hot, the kind of hot that forces you to do the little “blow-on-it” dance, and I’m not even mad about it.

What elevated the whole experience was the vibe inside. Even late at night, the staff greeted me like I was a regular they’d been waiting for all day. Smiles everywhere, genuine enthusiasm when I asked what their favorite was, and zero rush even though they were clearly winding down. It felt like walking into a friend’s kitchen who just happens to make world-class empanadas.

I’m already plotting my return — the chicken, the cheese pull on the queso ones, maybe the spicy pork if I’m feeling bold. The Empanada Spot didn’t just satisfy a late-night craving; it created a new addiction.

If you’ve been sleeping on this place like I was, do yourself a favor and go. Your taste buds will thank you, and you’ll probably end up writing a review just as obnoxiously enthusiastic as this one. 11/10, no notes. See you in line.“

“Love this place and their tasty food, will defo be back for more, a great experience.“

“We always enjoy the food and drinks here. Luisa was a great waitress and we had a nice time there. The chicken champignon (mushroom sauce) was delicious and loaded with mushrooms. Great classic margaritas for under $10 with lunch. ❤️“

“This place was a godsend when I had a multi-hour layover in JFK after a long international flight early in the morning; it's very easy to get to by AirTrain and saves you from paying airport prices for the McDonald's breakfast menu when you're still on Asian time and in the mood for dinner - in fact it's cheaper than McDonalds' off-airport prices these days. The staff spoke English and were willing to explain what things were; I had a nice cup of coffee, some tasty empanadas and a fried croquette filled with minced shredded chicken and vegetables. It is a great choice for anybody that has a lengthy layover in JFK during a meal time, especially if you need to change terminals and leave the secured area anyway.“

“Sembrador is a good colombian restaurant, good atmosphere, attention is good, and food is like" food soul" make you feel home. The portions are a little big to me. So you can share if 2 people don't eat too much. Prices are affordable.“

“A perfect place to eat Colombian food again, even to bring bakery items from our country.
I gave it 5 stars because everything seemed good to me, although they charged me 3 fritters and only gave me 2 😅🤣🤣🤣
Oh surprise when we open the bag, I know that anyone makes a mistake, but try to be more aware of takeout orders..
For the rest, my congratulations to the waitress and the cooks.
Despite everything, I would go again, and without hesitation I would recommend it for my countrymen to go.
Thank you so much.“

“Al though is a small place where my expectations were low, I was quite impressed with the atmosphere and service here. The food has been great so far and the the young ladies who attend this place have been quite warming and charming! It's a must try and will definitely be coming back!“

“Love that we found a Colombian Bakery right by our house and it also serves other traditional Colombian plates. Delicious and authentic treats that remind me of Medellin ❤️ 🇨🇴“

“excelent service , excelent prices, excelent products“

“Very good, I go to this place and the food is delicious, the service excellent, the girls very friendly. However, it is seen that there are people who frequent the place and do not respect the rules there. I see children running everywhere and their parents do absolutely nothing. I think education comes from home, it is a restaurant not an entertainment center, when attention is called they get offended.“

“My opinion of this place is very good. I was there for their 'Pan de Bono' which is absolutely amazing and they served them to me fresh out of the oven. Do not leave without trying them. It's a cheese bread bun. While we were there we picked up a variety of things and had her put it in the box. They had such a good looking variety of different pastries that we had to just try a bunch. I also heard they have great dinners there for a bakery. So now we have a new favorite South American spot.“

“Excelente servicio Te hacen sentir como si estuvieras en casa Excellent service They make you feel like you're at home“

“Loved the food it was so delicious. We had this chocolate cake and it was out of this world! Didn’t realize the empanadas didn’t have much meat in them but everything way excellent very good service. Prices were surprising I would love to come back.“
