Titi's

*TL;DR* Their empanadas were AMAZING!! We've been back twice in two days and are going in again tomorrow for more. Amazing place, great attitude and unbelievable prices! Let me begin by saying we LOVE empanadas. However, getting good vegetarian empanadas is not always an option. We discovered empanadas in Crown Heights when our daughter introduced us to them. In Boston during the pandemic there was only one empanada place that served any vegetarian options and they shut down 🥲. So when my wife and I walked by Titi's entirely accidentally we decided to take a chance to check 'em out. And boy where we glad we did. The first thing that struck us were how friendly the staff was. We were tickled to see they have both spinach and cheese, as well as potato empanadas. Another choice they had was black bean. we ordered two of each of the potato and spinach ones. Whilst waiting to be served our hot empanadas, we saw they even had a vegan offering. The crust was amazing, the spinach and cheese divine. The potatoes were good too, but we were eager to try the other ones. The next day we got more of the spinach and cheese, plus the vegan ones; the owner threw in a black bean as a sample (great!) and tomorrow we are going to try the corn. I'd recommend running to this place and getting some amazing empanadas!

Amazing place. Food and service was exceptional. Best cachapas my wife has had since leaving Venezuela 8 years ago.

A hidden gem!! Titi’s Empanadas is a go to spot for the best empanadas in Williamsburg. They are perfectly crisp on the outside and filled with so much flavor on the inside. There is a variety of options, from all cuisines. Sweet or savory. I love that they have vegan options, it’s rare to find a place that makes vegan and vegan GF empanadas taste this good! And don’t even get me started on the fresh passion fruit juice.. sweet, tangy, and refreshing, it pairs perfectly with the food. You can really taste the love and freshness in everything they serve. Staff is also very friendly.

Absolutely delicious empanadas! Great atmosphere, fast service and good vibes! The Passionfruit fruit juice that comes in a pouch is very good as well! The perfect way to top off a summer’s day!

We have been meaning to check this place out, and so happy we stopped in today! We got the chicken corn empanada, and tried one pastry filled empanada with chopped cheese, and another with chorizo & provolone. The staff were so, so friendly and the food was delicious - && the homemade sauces were perfect. Can’t wait to come back!

New restaurant in the neighborhood! This Venezuelan quick-service restaurant specializes in empanadas. They offer traditional flavors from Venezuela and they also offer empanadas from different regions of Latin America (ie. Argentina, Cuba, etc). You have the option of ordering empanadas either fried or baked - both are equally delicious. The empanadas at Titi's are as good as they get! I recommend that you try the "Pabellon" empanada. The empanada shell is made with plantain and the filling has black beans, cheese and shredded meat! This empanada is a game changer. You know the feeling when you eat something delicious and you can't stop thinking about it for a few days...well, this empanada is living rent free in my mind until I come back to eat again. As for the restaurant itself, it is a newly remodeled restaurant. The restaurant is meant to be quick service since it is not very big and empanadas are generally an "on-the-go" snack. The team that works here has excellent customer service. They are friendly, efficient, and very eager to tell you all about their empanadas. A big shout out to Carolina and Victor!

The pabellon empanada with plantain crust was unique and delicious! The beef was tender and marinated well. I love corn empanadas and the crust on the potato and cheese empanada was light and crispy. Great place for a snack or full meal.

My dream of a fast food Venezuelan spot in the neighborhood is finally come true! Great place for a quick Venezuelan bite. Family owned business and very nice people. Plenty of options for everyone. And you gotta try the garlic sauce!

Loved all of the empanadas. Different varieties, including pork, chicken, ham & cheese, mushroom, plantains. Friendly. I got one of each and I loved all of them. They have coffee, regular food, little cakes.

Williamsburg definitely has some great places to eat, and new ones like this one keep popping up. I came here craving empanadas but was in for a slight twist. They specialize in the Venezuelan variety which I’ve never had before but they were awesome! With pastries of corn and fried crispy they were delicious. I had several - shredded beef, chicken, one with black beans and one with ham and cheese. I don’t know that I had a favorite - they were all so good! I’ll be back!

Insanely good Venezuelan empanadas fairly priced compared to other places. My top 3 were the Domino, Carne Molida (ground beef), and Pollo Mechado (shredded chicken). Don’t sleep on their sauces. As for coffee, they serve La Colombe which is always good and reliable. Their service was just as good as the food, everyone was super welcoming.

Titi’s is a small empanada shop with a variety of sauces. We swung in on a Saturday afternoon and got the polo empanadas and mortadella sandwich. The sandwich was actually the star of the show! A great stop for quick, tasty food.

Solid menu and a great variety of some unique empanadas 🤌🏼

Titi’s Empanadas is a hidden gem in New York 😍 The service is super friendly, and the place makes you feel right at home. But the real star here… the empanadas! 🔥 Especially the chopped cheese one it’s an absolute flavor bomb 🤤💯 If you’re in the city, you have to try them, no excuses!

Amazing empanadas served here. Authentic flavors and everything we tried was excellent. Will definitely come back.

So freaking good. Different amazing textures. Each empanada is delightful in its own way. Good Cuban sandwich too.

I’ve been following Titi’s for a while now and finally made my way to the store let me tell you it was so worth driving through traffic. I ordered the oxtail ( so good make sure you use the juice ) I also ordered the chicken and cheese ( use the hot sauce) so good 10/10 I also ordered the cuben sandwich so good I wanted another one Last thing I got was the cheesecake and guava I wish I would had ordered two. This is a great place to visit the staff is friendly and welcoming I’ll be back for more.

Titi’s Empanadas in Williamsburg is a delightful little gem that’s worth a visit, especially if you're an empanada enthusiast! I recently had the pleasure of trying three of their offerings: the oxtail, chopped cheese, and pollo empanadas. Let’s start with the oxtail—wow! The richness of the meat combined with the flaky crust was heavenly. It had a comforting, hearty vibe that made my taste buds dance. Next up was the chopped cheese; this one felt like a fun twist on a classic favorite, with just the right amount of gooey cheese and savory beef. Last but not least, the pollo empanada delivered a tasty chicken filling that was both juicy and satisfying. While I thoroughly enjoyed each empanada, I felt they could use just a tad more flavor to elevate them from great to unforgettable. A pinch more seasoning or a zesty sauce could really take these treats to the next level. Overall, Titi’s Empanadas is a must-try spot for anyone in Williamsburg craving a delicious snack. With a warm atmosphere and friendly service, it's an experience that’s sure to put a smile on your face, even if the flavor just needed a little extra kick! 4 out of 5 stars!

I appreciate how much of an homage this restaurant pays to latinidad and NYC. The whole menu is a reflection of what Southside Williamsburg/Los Sures is. So many options to choose from. I enjoyed the chicken mole and the pabellon empanadas. The corn and platano maduro dough is far superior to the pastry dough. The texture and crunch is more satisfying. I also tried the chop cheese and oxtail empanadas. I expected these would be my favorite but was underwhelmed. The chop cheese just felt like a dry ground beef empanada. The oxtail lacked seasoning and the meat was shredded so finely that you wouldn’t necessarily know whether or not this was oxtail or another cut of meat. Which wouldn’t be the biggest problem if it weren’t the most expensive empanada on the menu. The morrir sonando was a lil lack luster? They just poured evaporated milk into a a pouch of passion fruit juice. Maybe would be bettered if it was already well mixed or if they mixed it for you and poured it over a cup with ice. Also missing some spices like vanilla, which I associate with a good more sonando. The service was relatively good. They definitely make a lot of the empanadas for you on the spot. The staff is friendly. Decent customer service. The atmosphere is quaint. It’s a small space, definitely a grab and go kind of place. But when it’s not busy you can appreciate sitting by the counter and admiring the decor. All and all, this place is worth a visit and trying for yourself. They have a large menu so honestly I feel you can have a different experience each time.

Disappointing Venezuelan Authenticity My visit to Titi Empanadas was a letdown due to a significant lack of authentic Venezuelan cuisine. The arepas were oddly split and deep-fried, making them unnecessarily greasy. Variety was also a major issue; they only offered meat fillings, not many options. Service was passable but minimal, as we had to retrieve our own menus. While I don't mind higher prices for good food and service, Titi Empanadas fell short on both counts. For an authentic experience, they need to vastly improve their preparation and variety.

The Empanadas de espinaca y queso were very disappointing and nothing like the ones you find in South Florida. The filling was more like a spinach roll from a nyc pizza shop. Wrong cheese (mozzarella) and way too much of it. I was excited to see a place advertising Cuban style empanadas, but these are nothing like Cuban empanadas. These are the same mixture of South American empanadas and hipster empanadas you'll find in any other NYC empanada spot.

I didn't necessarily like the vibe. It didn't feel welcoming. The empanadas were way too oily. The black bean empanadas would be amazing if it wasn't so oily and had more inside of the empanada that might absorb some of the oil. It was not for me. I went to three empanada spots that day and this would be my least favorite. I want to add they need better up front staff or maybe that was just an off day, we all have those but the vibe was just off.

This is single-handedly the worst service experience I have ever had in my life. I had requested sauce that was supposed to come with the meal that the server said did not actually come with the meal, despite it clearly being written, otherwise on the menu. Also, I ordered a nice coffee and the counter person said there was no milk. Then upon ordering another coffee, I see there is milk right there in the fridge. The food was quite decent besides, but it was completely ruined by this counter person. I’m usually for giving people the benefit of the doubt, but if I owned this spot I’d fire them right away. It’s the guy with glasses.
