Share your opinion about Island Empanada of Merrick
Aside from the deliciousness, we loved the variety offered! You have your classics like beef and chicken, and traditional like pastelon and beef and cheese. Can’t wait to try others like chorizo and potato, Pernil and Cuban! Great option to add to our food choice rotation. Bonus, the staff is super sweet!!
Great empanadas
The staff were very kind and pleasant, and the food was fresh and delicious. Definitely the best Island Empanada location we've been to and I definitely plan to start making the trip out here when the next IE craving hits!

The lunch special is worth the price, with fresh and beautifully presented tostones. The staff is friendly, providing a pleasant dining experience.

Overall, it's a clean establishment where one can enjoy a quick bite, though it may not be the top choice for those seeking an authentic taste of Puerto Rican cuisine. Customers praise the wide selection of empanadas, including Philly cheese steak, shrimp, beef, chicken, pasteleon, and buffalo chicken.
