Matt BressJanuary 21, 2014If you're into seafood, try the Viagra. Rich, sweet and even a little creamy with a hint of spice and big chunks of shrimp and crab. Plus, make you strong where it count!
Shaireen KarimMarch 30, 2015The express is never quite as good as the one in Hell's Kitchen.. Great for late night munchies after going out in the LES. Cheeseburger empanada is not quite traditional but is the best one!
Ivie CJune 12, 2013Great yummy empanadas. The reggae time and Brazilian are to die for. The red sauce is pretty much Tabasco but the green sauce is yummy
Matt PayneFebruary 1, 2013Go for the unique options. Cheese empanada is like a dessert! Still waiting for the Americano - it's only featured at the Hells Kitchen location.
💎TSeptember 16, 2014The Cuban Empanada is always a good and safe choice if you don't know what to get.
Manda ShettletonNovember 11, 2012Spicy chicken! Mambo Italiano! Don't forget yellow rice and blackbeans on side. So happy that there's a downtown location now!
While express doesn't necessarily mean express service, it's still got the spirit of the Hell's Kitchen location. Can't go wrong with the brasil.
Will VanderhoefMay 23, 2013The Cuban and Cheesesteak empanadas have to be tried. Oh and they deliver till 5am!
Mariza BaezaJanuary 26, 2013Inexpensive ($2.80 per empanada) and delish! Even better with the chimichurri sauce
Get the corn empanada with cheese, Viagra (hehe), and spinach cheese,
JillianDecember 25, 2014You're living life wrong if a spicy chicken empanada isn't your end game after a night out on the LES.
S LJanuary 21, 2013Try the Philly one, its pretty good. The spinach one is more spinach than cheese.
Olutosin FashusiDecember 30, 2012empanadas are a lil over priced, wheat flour empanadas taste better than corn
Jackie WaitFebruary 8, 2014Be careful about the foursquare discount- they don't honour it on weekends sometimes.
Anyone know what's going on with the Allen Street location?
