Empanadas are really good, and rhe place is kind of vintage.

3rd update. I'm upset, they changed the empanada size without letting us know. Cannot describe how much I love this place. The caramel and cheese, Italian sausage and cheeseburger are some of my favorites, and the best part, always fried to perfection. 😊 2nd update, how can you top perfection? You can't. A nicer location would be nice, but not a deal breaker

This is the best location for Mama’s empanadas. The wait and the line can be a bit long because of how busy they get however, the ladies that work in the register are very nice and accommodating. My personal favorites are the beef with potatoes, cheeseburger, and for dessert the caramel with cheese. Definitely the best location to go to. 5/5

This Mamas Empanadas is pretty small! However it’s in a great location. If you are craving empanadas, this store haves a variety of selections! They even have desert empanadas! You can get about anything in here. Since this location is famous, It gets busy here so be aware. Parking is very limited here as well!

These empanadas are my go to place! Whenever I go for empanadas this is the ONLY I will go to. I’ve tried plenary of other ones but, none get as delicious as these. This location is ALWAYS busy so expect a wait and the waiting area is outside so be prepared for the cold winter months whenever you want an empanada. My favorites are the Hawaiian wheat empanadas and the chicken and potatoes in corn empanadas. The only bummer is that it is CASH ONLY. But I’m sure you’ll save some cash to buy one of these delicious finger foods ☺️

Their food is good and somewhat cheap, I like the variety of empanadas available. However the service is always a hit or miss…. Sometimes you gotta wait extra long.

Food was a bit of a wait since they had to fry up the broccoli and cheese one i ordered, but it was delicious! They gave us the green and orange sauce for free, more than enough for the 3 empanadas i ordered. I would come back again!

DELICIOUS!! So many options and decent prices. Everything I ever had here was fantastic. Like others have said, service could be quicker, but they're still great.

If you know, you know. This place is a hidden gem in NYC. It's probably one of the top 5 best empanada spots in the city. The prices are great. This is not a sit-down spot, and parking is very difficult. But if you are from the city you know how to make a quick stop and go happen. Plus the bus stop is literally right in front of the shop. The stamp the bags with the type of empanada you order. This is a great feature, especially when you order variety. But let me tell you, the variety here is insane and ready to go. The spicy chicken is my favorite. Lastly, shout-out to Queens, NY this is our Flagship Empanada Spot.

No frills counter spot for good empanadas. You can order preset combinations of different empanadas for slightly cheaper than buying per empanada. They have a variety of dipping sauces that come with your order, and you can get extra for a cost. Be prepared to wait as the place can get busy and the empanadas are fried to order.
