If you are here try the Skirt Steak . It is so soft and juicy that will bring you back here over and over again for the same delicious food.

I was pleasantly surprised by this joint. Lots of varieties. The arepa was also excellent. Open 24hours so a great option for a late bite.

Take Mexican beer and add plantain chips with guacamole as starter - try the Parmesan empanada which is unbelievably delicious. It seems that “Viagra” is a classic - which also needs to be ordered !

Order your empanadas a la carte - easy to grab and go if you're not trying to have a sit down meal. Brasilia and Mambo Italiano are my favs but the menu has something for everyone

The viagra is probably (unanimously) the best. I also love pulled pork - it's in a corn shell so it has a hint of sweetness! Also highly recommend the corn tamale with cheese ...fluffy amazingness.

This 24 hour , no frills joint is the perfect place to go after a night of drinking when you're craving fried goodness. There's a ton to choose from, but we love the Cuban the most.

Best Empanada 's in the city !!best Empanada 's I've ever had in America!located in the center of the city so it's easy to get to,open late !!! So it's a good after spot after a long night of partying

The spicy chicken empanada is good. Nice and spicy with a tasty green sauce on the side.

The cheeseburger empanada and the Viagra is to die for!!! So I just tried the arroz con pollo and OMG!!! I am in love with it haha!!!

Great food at great prices. I especially loved the soncocho (oxtail soup ) and chicharonnes (simple crispy fried pork belly always gets me). Service was on point!

The corn flour empanadas with chorizo was my favorite. Loved it way more than the reggaeton ! Sangria was pretty good too. I wish they had more corn flour empanadas on the menu

Beyond the more traditional flavors , some options would never be found in Argentina, or anywhere in South America for that matter—cheeseburger, Polish sausage , and one called “Viagra.”

The plantain chips with guac is a classic appetizer . Steak-lovers especially, go for the skirt steak entree; it's well worth the price. For a cooler, less crowded atmosphere, eat an an outside table !

Open 24 hours ! Delicious whole wheat or (gluten-free!) corn empanadas at a great price accompanied by excellent margaritas . Small place that's almost always packed, but definitely worth waiting for.

Open 24 hours ! Great place to go for a late night snack . Check how long the wait is, It's usually faster than you'd think and it's totally worth it! Or just get it to go.

Every empenada I tried was delicious! I'd recommend order 3 per person and be SURE to get the Guac with plantin chips . Delicious meal for a reasonable price!

Pros: Amazing empanadas that are well worth the wait. It's open 24 hrs a day. Con: It's always over-crowded. Recommendations: Spicy chicken , Brasil, Viagra

Hands down best empanadas in the tri-state area. My go to's are the pernil and also spicy chicken empanada . The desert empanadas are also on point.

If you're craving a delicious Spanish empanada order the "Cuban" empanada (pernil with mozzarella cheese ). For desert , try the "Romeo & Juliet" empanada (guava with mozzarella cheese :).

Open 24 hours , Empanada Mama is true to its name, serving up some of the best empanadas in New York City of different varieties including Cheesesteak , Spicy Chicken , and Viagra (a personal favorite).

Definitely get a Viagra!!!! They are to die for!!! Such a clutch place to satisfy the late night cravings! Open 24 hours !!! My type of place!

My #1 nyc crave. Service is slow but I don't care! Spicy chicken empanadas have kick & taste great with yellow rice & black beans . Also: mambo Italiano & cheeseburger . Margarita=heavy on tequila .

I don't know what to say other than prob the best empanadas I have ever had. Very tiny restaurant so be prepared to wait to be seated but well worth it.

amazing food, great prices. Get there early to beat the rush because the place is TINY and the only place to wait is outside. Plantain chips and guac are amazing, cuban empanada is to die for! Read more

If you're looking for a quick bite when out drinking with friends at Midtown West, this place is perfect! Good food and fast service .

Corn flour, wheat flour, or baked wheat flour empanadas . SO MANY OPTIONS! Whatever you get, finish it off with a dessert empanada . We love the figs , caramel , and cheese .

I've been here a million times now. Always crowded , always worth the wait. Always worth trying something new. They always make me happy.

Great empanadas and arepas ! We tried ham& cheese arepa , cheeseburger arepa . Also, Viagra (seafood ) empanada was yummiiiii and cheese corn flour empanada very good too!

One of the best spots in Hells Kitchen. The watermelon salad is delicious and refreshing on a hot day.

Along with Burritos Loco in the village , Best guacamole in the city . Viagra and Hawaiian empanadas are a must try and so is their Sangria

Omg!! This place is so GOOD!! I love their avocado salad . I tried to sleep with the waiter to get the recipe for their dressing . If u want something sweet, have the Elvis! Peanut Butter & Banana .

Small place in Hell's Kitchen serving up awesome, cheap empanadas . They're only $2.80 each and are sure to hit the spot, whether it's after a night of drinking or just quick lunch .

One of our tips for guests at our Midtown partner hotels . Beyond the fantastic savory and dessert empanadas , try the arepas . Crazy busy, so come mid-afternoon and make it a one-meal day.

The spicy red sauce is no joke. Perfect on the spicy chicken and shredded chicken empanadas . Guava and mozzarella is killer for dessert .

This place use to be so much better when you could just order to take out . Now it’s a restaurant but you can still do take out . Empanas still are the best in midtown!

Come here to try the selection of delicious empanadas . For a contrast, order the Brasil (beef ) and Viagra (seafood ).

Empanadas are to die for, strong drinks , and very friendly atmosphere !

The oxtail soup and pollo guisado empanadas are a must. This place is a known hangout for Latino promoters, so you can eat here and get on the list for the club. Full review link: Read more

The Colombian-inspired Empanada Mama offers both fried and baked, as well as corn and wheat empanadas .

Try all the empanadas , you won’t regret it! Plantain chips are nice and crispy . Highly recommended.

The empanadas are great, the desayuno and the Hawaiian are great! Try a watermelon lemonade too

Lively vibe, friendly servers , great empas (duh), strong drinks , daily drink specials + 3-6 HH✌️
