The King of Empanadas Flushing Reviews
I was hungry and looked on maps for some food near my house. I came across this place which isn’t too far and decided to give them a try. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger deluxe,bbq chicken wings and strawberry shake. 10/10 for me. Everything was delicious and delivery came really fast. Will definitely order from them again.
I’ve been ordering from here for a year now and I’ve tried so many things off their menu. Each thing is sooo good!! I love their portions and how much protein they give! One of my go-to’s in corona especially if you’re looking for healthy options.
The food was really good. I tried the burritos and the empanadas and you can feel the freshness! You can also see them cook it. The sauces is really what makes the taste even better. Sketchy place but good food for a affordable price!
I like getting empanadas and shrimp tacos or their pechuga a la plancha.. really good! Their natural juices are good too. Overall you can’t go wrong, always ask for more green sauce cuz it’s fire
Ironically the empanadas are not the best I’ve had (they are still good) but let me tell you - every item on their menu is amazingly delicious!! And their shakes/batidos? THE BEST! They have never let me down since they opened. I’ve had their chimis, burgers, empanadas, salads and batidos all were amazing
Ordered a great amount of empanadas for a party I was having. The guests loved them, especially the shrimp ones. Service was good and timely and the presentation of the food was well put together. Would order again. Thank you!
I have ordered in multiple occasions the wait for the food is long but if you want something freshly cooked you need to give them the time to prepare it. The food has always been fresh and very good. I love their chicken tacos!!!!! My husbands always gets the loaded nachos and loves it. I recommend this restaurant
Delicious! Empanadas made to order. I recommend the beef, with corn meal shell 'colombian-style' No nonsense staff, all there to work and do it well. Great prices, would definitely come again.
The Food here is great! They have improved the majority of their dishes and this is a go to spot for me. They have a bar style counter that is not too comfortable to sit in if you have long legs but do have a wall mounted table with stools that you can sit and are more comfortable to eat on. give them a try because the food is great!
So I’ve had a variety of food from the king, and it is all good! I’ve had fruit juices, the salmon, the pepper steak, various sandwiches, and the empanadas. All has come out great! The salmon, although cooked “Dominican style” still comes out juicy, tender, and like salmon that you’re used to in more westernized restaurants. The sauces that come with the empanadas could use a little more spice, but nothing a quick trip to Stephanie’s or the bodega can’t fix. The price is excellent for the quality/portions. The owner, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. I don’t usually write reviews, but this is not a spot to be intimidated or worried about. High top counter seating only so be prepared if you’re drunk, or have the kiddos with you.
Food is delicious and rates are fair
Used to get delivery from here all the time, delicious food, great sauces, good prices..but I suppose our place was too far (2mile) so we stopped getting from them. Edit: I wanted to expand on this. We stopped ordering not because we were 2mile away, but because they kept messing up the ordering some way and it felt deliberate after a certain point. 4 stars because food is good, but needed to clarify why we stopped ordering.
Early morning Sunday and they are ready for business! I had 2 corn flour chicken empanadas. Soft yet crispy and light. Perfection!! My friend had the Shrimp and a Spinach and cheese. I had a taste it was verrry good! The green sauce is so good I need the recipe amazing! Can't wait to go back.
Food prepared fresh, on the spot. Very good. I waited to get my order about 15 min or so. I don't give it a 5 star because there is no AC in the restaurant and today was a humid day. A little oily, but overall it taste very good. Also the server lady should shed a smile when serving.
This place completely fell off since it's beginning. They axe murdered my order and I called 5 minutes into them leaving to have them correct it; the counter person then promises me I will have the correct order, 45 minutes later no order no call no nothing. Never will I order from here. Oh and there was also a a strain of hair in my food. Thanks for crossing king empanadas off my ordering list. Good riddance!
The name is different. If you don't speak Spanish, you're treated like crap. Botched up my orders and claimed that it was because they were "busy." I live locally but won't come back.
Horrible experience over there!! The waitress took ages to take my orders. Then it took her ages to realize that my order was ready for a long time and was just getting cold in a corner in the kitchen... It looked good but I left withoit even touching it Really bad service and the "king" doesn't care about his customers. Also, they don't have toilet paper in their bathroom...
There raising up the price too much food is good but not worth the price.ive been coming here for a while now chicken teriyaki was always 14.50 now it's 20 better off going somewhere else for better prices and same quality of food.
Terrible experience! I am never one to give any type of review but for this I had too! If I can give them zero stars I would. I ordered delivery and they didn't send 2 items and then when I called they were basically calling me a liar and then finally said if I want it I had to go get it myself after paying a delivery fee! Never ordering here again!!
Not sure what happened but I end up extremely disappointed. I used to come to this little gem almost once a week when I live in NY, 3 years later I come back and I find this place with poor service. The food doesn’t taste the same as they don’t have the original cook, the place looks dirty and old now, the girls working there don’t have the best customer service, even the morir soñando I was craving for soo many years sucked. Not sure if they not longer have the same owner or what happened but extreaml disappointed, the empanadas were greasy and uncook inside, even the green sauce didn’t taste the same. What a shame 😩😩
Went in to place an order and was ignored for all of 10 mins: the cook told me to order with the lady at the desk. She ignored me l. He looked at her and didn’t even alert her to take my order. She terned back around to the register and then back to what she was doing still ignoring me. Just rude. Maybe the food is good but I’ll never know. Service gets 0 stars.
