Juan & Maria's Empanada Stop

Staff very nice and service fast service

Really sweet people, really good food, quick service.

A classic rochester spot that everyone should see

Even though the price of $6 plus up charge for breakfast one is outrageous, We love the food here hence the 4 stars.
not being able to tell which kind is which and being told to look at the chart for the “holes” is frustrating when you have many people getting different kinds and take to go. Would love a better system. Maybe little toothpick flags or something.

Charging 1.75 for a 12 oz can of soda? The veggie breakfast empanada was disappointing.

Empanadas are always delicious. Never had a bad one, ever, in the years we've been going. Their house made condiments are delicious and well worth getting to put in your fridge at home. It gets very busy at times and consequently there can be a wait and a shortage of seating, but that's not their fault obviously.

Empanadas are over priced. Not fresh loaded with the minimum amount of meat.

I am extremely picky when it comes to eating out. I also don't want to spend too much eating what I like. A friendly atmosphere with friendly staff is a must for me. This place has it all!! The staff is super friendly and helpful. I wasn't sure what exactly to eat when I arrived. I heard so many good things about this place. The staff helped guide me and helped me choose precisely what I wanted. They have various specials. When you buy various Empanadas they do better deals. This is exactly what i wanted. More bang for your buck. Staff was outstanding and they helped me choose all the different Empanadas flavors. They have the best selection in town. They have about 10 various options. They are also Vegan friendly with some items. I also decided to try what they call a combination platter. I had the rice. Beans and chicken but they also have pork, I believe. That combination platter included one free Empanada. AMAZING! It was so delicious. They also had many different options in terms if drinks. They have a delicious coffee hot or cold as well as many Spanish drinks. I've heard so many good things about this place I had to try it for myself. And I'm glad I did...this was outstanding. I would recommend this place to anyone. I will be going back to try their wide selection of Empanadas soon ? if you've never been here but wanted to try it. Make sure to do so and bring some friends. We had a great time dancing to their Spanish music. They had a very long line but went by very quickly. The staff was super fast. I only waited in line for about 3 minutes.
