Empanadas Cafe

Some of the best empanadas in queens, it’s the best for a nice walk in flushing meadow park. As a corona native I’ve been going here since before I could form full sentences and I still love it. It’s changed a bit but the quality remains the same. Always call ahead because they’re very popular so they always have a lot of orders, they work really hard and provide great service I also don’t mind the “Reina” that’s gets thrown in there. Love it here I’ll always come back even if I’m not living in corona anymore. My favorite empanadas are the cheese & spinach and Maduro con queso (de trigo claro)

This place is a must stop every time I am in the area! I typically get the corn flour ones and today was no different. One pollo (chicken) and one beef w/potatoes (carne). The empanada is perfectly crisp and the filling inside is well seasoned. It is such a satisfying bite once everything comes together. They are made to order so it typically takes about 10 minutes to be ready depending on how many you get. I love the randomness of this place as it just blends in with the other homes. Parking in this area is tough though so if you drive, it may take you a while to find a spot. Smooth operation, the ladies inside are nice, and don't skip that spicy green sauce 🔥 Empanadas Cafe is true Queens gem

10/10 corn empanadas! Oh my gosh I love them. My high school was close by and I would always go here for an after school snack. Price hasn’t gone up much in over 10 years and the food is amazing. This place introduced me to empanadas and I still hold it at the standard for me. Just had one and it taste the same as I remember 10 years ago . I hope they stay open for centuries to come.

We came here after a visit from the Queens Zoo and enjoyed our first visit here! It's too bad there are so tables to sit at, just a couple side benches and a tall table. Oh well, we liked the flour ones the best, the beef is a classic, and my fave, the ham and cheese reminded me of too much of a hot pocket, but we enjoyed the chicken/potato, and sweet plantains. The homemade sauces are excellent! If you're in the area, stop here and enjoy!

Been coming here for the past 3 years. As of recently, whoever is the lady that pick up the phone did not know how to take orders. Once I got to the store, it was madness, people waiting in the cold more that 10m ( me and other costumer), people coming back because they got the wrong order , the staff was completing ignoring the costumer asking for their order….do better or hire better people. Also attitudes were so wrong ! I dropped my penny and the lady’s wanted to asked me something, while I was picking it up she kept screaming my name to what I said “ yes if you give me a second “ like they were so rude! Even over the phone , I get it it gets busy bcs it’s so good but the costumer services sucks
