I enjoy tasting empanadas from all types of places. Empanada Mama is by far the best of any place I’ve ever tasted!! The portions were stunning, the food was full of flavor, the menu is large, and the dessert empanadas are just as amazing as the savory ones! Definitely some comfort food right here ❤️ Amazing delivery as well
The nighttime manager on February 14th around 3am was such a terrible human being. Terrible customer service.
Horrible customer service in Hell’s Kitchen location
