9/13/09, my first visit to their 505 Broome St. location to see what they offered. Saw a guava & cream cheese empanada, I'm a guava & cream cheese addict, ordered one just to try it and took it back to my hotel room. A total disgrace! The sleepy looking guy behind the counter never bothered to ask how I wanted this, hot or cold, so he handed it over straight from the refrigerator. I didn't know it was cold until I unwrapped it. It was cold and stiff and I had no microwave in my hotel room. I tried to bite into it, the aroma of onions hit me immediately so whoever prepared this dough was also preparing other types of empanadas. Not nice to have onions hit you as you bite into a sweet guava concoction. Anyway, it was hard and cold and unappetizing. I called them and gave them a piece of my mind. Their reply: Did you ask us to heat it for you? My reply: I am the tourist, I don't know anything about your food, it's YOUR job to ask the customer how they want their food. I'll never set foot in this business again. $2.25 wasted.

today was my first time in this joint..i got the codfish empanada..didnt really taste like codfish..but it wasnt bad..next time i go back i'll probably get something different...probably with a whole wheat dough.. i thought it would have been better with a flaky dough like a beef patty and with some onions and peppers..i give it a 3.5 out of 5..

whatever the previous reviewer said times a million. I kid you not. The guava cheese sweet empanada was made with this filo-like dough. And the filling. Outrageous. Not too sweet, just the right amount. My only regret is that I only got one. This will be my new go-to place for an afternoon treat.

First of all, you're cheating yourself if you don't get the guava desert empenada. I've been craving one ever since I went there for my first time a few weeks ago. Like other said, the savory emps. are doughy, like a calzone, but the guava is flaky. I had one shrimp and one chicken and thought both were delicious. Sorry to all the vegans who are so down on this place, but last I checked they don't plug themselves as catering to the health-food, specialty-diet crowd. These are yummy and I'm on my way for more now!

these are the best empanadas i have ever had... the dough is delicious, it's not the puff pastry type, it's a lot leaner, which makes it a healthier option. my favorite is the spicy chicken, it's delicious! perfect amount of filling... shrimp empanada is good too... a little disappointed with spinach one, a little too much nutmeg for my taste

Ok..I tried the beef & chicken. The chicken was not good at all. Is this chicken in a can. I felt like I was eating a Calzone w/ out the seasoning. The beef was alright..OK this thing was TOO BIG! Maybe they wanted to make it differently, there own style. But please stick to the original. I won't eat these things again.
