The Empanada Shop

Banging empanadas. Great for take away, small patio seating indoors. Super nice family run business.

First time trying this place! Popped up on Door Dash as new to try, near me and so glad I did! (Sponsored add paid off 😀) Empanadas were crispy and still really warm! Flavor was exceptional!!! Will definitely be ordering from here again, and passing it along!! I look forward to trying the spicy pork 😉 Highly Recommend!!!

Empanadas are hard to find in Rochester, especially on the east side. And these are the best ive found on the trek. Visited mid day, was greeted at the counter and was offered zome suggestions that turned out to be the best part! Had the spicy beef and pork, Cuban, cilantro, and yucca fries. Pink sauce... wish it was endless. Stop by and give it a try, you wont be disappointed!!

I ordered three empanadas: Cilantro Lime Chicken, Carne Machada, and Coconut. Everything was absolutely delicious and ready so quickly! 2-3 empanadas is perfect for one person's full meal.

Ordered via phone. Ready in less than 10 minutes. We have tried many flavors and they have all been so good, can’t wait to try more! I like a couple savory with a sweet to finish it off!

Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend and we will be returning customers!

Wanted to try the new empanada shop and thank god I did. The empanadas were so tasty, and perfectly cooked. We got beef/ cheese, Philly, and jalapeño with cheese. Also a side of rice/ beans and yucca fries. The yucca fries were seasoned so good and the rice was so flavorful. We took it to go because they didn’t have any drinks inside also the seating was very minimal and very hot inside the shop. Everything was cooked to order. The family inside was extremely nice and answered any questions we had. Would highly recommend! I will definitely be back!

Amazing food! Love this place and will definitely be back. Got take out from here twice and have been surprised by how delicious everything has been! We had beef and cheese, pork and mango, chicken, and chorizo empanadas. All were great! Also had sides of rice and beans and yucca fries. Really big portions, fast and friendly service. These people know how to cook!!!

I love this place. Got two empanadas, pork and the other, chicken and cilantro. Plus yucca fries and rice and beans. Good flavors, nice side sauce, it hit the spot. Would like more spice but that's on me for next time. Keep up the good work!

I can't even begin to explain how happy I am for the shop to be back. These are the absolute best empanadas I've ever had in my life. Literally nothing else compares💜💜💜

First time there was taken by my son after exploring Rochester. We ordered 6 for $30 .. they were hot , crispy, and the fillings were delicious! The spicy pork and chicken and jalapeño were great! But truly they were all really good ! Do not miss this place ...the staff were very friendly and they made them fresh and fast!!

What a perfect gem of East Rochester. You must stop by and give them a try. When you walk in the entire establishment is clean. The person making the food is not handling the money. Stop in for a quick bite. Try the Empanadas and two sides.

This was my first time at the Empanada Shop and I bought 6 empanadas for $30 - it's a great deal! You get to sample different empanada flavors from their long list of flavors! I really enjoyed their savory empanadas - the Cilantro Lime Chicken and the Beef & Cheese - especially with their Creamy Cilantro and Pink sauces, respectively. While I liked the sweet empanada offerings, I found them plain when compared to their savory ones. Definitely recommend their savory empanadas! Can't wait to try more of their menu!

The empanadas are good but for me is way to pricy for just one empanada where i csn go and get 2 or 3 for thier price.

Had gave this restaurant a try on my lunch break since I work five minutes from this restaurant. Sorry but being a hispanic I expected way more from this restaurant. Its not giving authentic. They beans for the rice tasted more tomato then like beans.

Bought arepa..needs seasonings Had way better before.Spent $16 and was still hungy.Small portion.

Extremely inconsistent hours and food consistency as well. Never been here before, but this is only because I've tried four or five times and they are not open when they say they are. Would not suggest! !
