We asked our hotel clerk for a great breakfast recommendation and he suggested Empanada Mama in Hell's Kitchen. Lovers of Cuban food, we tried it and absolutely loved it! The restaurant was clean, colorfully decorated, and the servers were delightful. The menu was extensive and...More
I have been here several times and have order all kind of food from the menu, lately I had three tacos (heavenly) and pierna asada empanada (glorious), my feeling is that no matter your order you cannot go wrong. My hubby and I had a...More
I went there twice with my husband to eat empanadas and arepas, with fernet. They have a big menu. The music is a little bit too high, it's very hard to talk. Some customers were rude not allowing people to grab a sit in the...More

This was my first time actually eating in the restaurant. We usually order these late at night for room service when we visit NY. Even better inside because we had good service and nothing's better than piping hot food. We ordered a variety of tasty...More
Wonderful little spot with fantastic food. They will make, fresh and hot, any number of empanadas with various fillings, in several different types of shells. We had spicy, mild, savory, and sweet on our trips there. It is small, so huddle up and enjoy meeting...More
Enjoyed delicious ham & cheese empanada, guacamole, plantain chips, and a mango shake. Tiny restaurant and the single restroom was unavailable for repair (not fun for a pregnant gal). Otherwise, very much enjoyed our lunch.
