To be honest I think the business should be embarrassed. Not only for the food but its representation of culture they apparently take so much pride in based on their responses to negative reviews here. Everything and I mean everything is batch cooked and if its not batch cooked and if I’m wrong then your delivery of food to the customer is sub bar. The rice and beans taste like they were held in a warmer from the am to the pm. The plantains i received were burnt and black simply deep fried in the fryer and greasy? My potato ball burnt to a crisp and served? Authentic recipes yes you do have authentic food and for that I agree, but those same recipes and authentic food are being served in the worst possible way and not the best way it can be represented. So disappointed i was given this burnt and old food. So sad that it seems like management has no touch on the business and the employees serve this to paying customers.

I wasnt ware that a place so good were in my neck of the woods
so i recently tried the island-inspired Cuban sandwiches at “Island Empanadas,” located in Ronkonkoma and they were absolutely delightful! The extra cheese and sweet plantains added a perfect touch. I highly recommend anyone to come and savor these delicious flavors.

Went in for a quick lunch the other day by myself. Got the two empanada lunch special with rice, beans, and plantains. The food was excellent! Very fresh and great portion. Plus friendly staff, clean place, and nice music! Will definitely be back.

Second visit in a row that I was given the wrong empanadas. I ordered a broccoli cheddar empanada and the sticker on its bag also said broccoli cheddar, but it’s just a beef empanada. Luckily I’m not a vegetarian or anything and it tastes fine but it’s not what I ordered. I’ve only went 3 times and twice it’s been wrong so that’ll be it for me.

I can’t say that I’m too happy disappointed somewhat full. Some of the items had authentic Puerto Rican taste some didn’t meat the criteria I know it’s very difficult to find authentic Puerto Rican, restaurants or places to eat so when we do it, it has to be done right you have to have Puerto Ricans in the kitchen. You have to have the flavoring all set up and your portions have to match very disappointed with my race portion with the combo plates. It was like a kids portion of rice and I had the rice with pigeon peas flavor. It was there portion very disappointed a little little dry as far as the yellow rice by itself with the beans on the side beans were not at all good total was about $60 that I spent empanadas that I had beef, chicken and shrimp also spicy beef all mediocre the roasted pork grape flavor no complaints portion on that excellent but you need to do better with your race portion. It doesn’t go and you need to have white rice as an option as a suggestion.

These empanadas are so delicious. We got the philly cheese steak, chicken and cheese, beef and cheese flavors. They were all good. It’s a good spot for a quick take out lunch. Lots of parking.

We were heading home and looking for some quick bites. The empanadas were fresh out of the kitchen, delicious, and not greasy. Our favorites were the pernil and the pastelon. The relleno de pappas were wonderful! The stuffing inside everything was filled to the brim; there wasn’t a big void inside the food.

I sent my husband to buy some empanadas and 2 stuffed potato balls. When we sat down to eat; the 2 potato balls were overdone (burnt)Husband took ride to return them and was met with a rude worker asking him what did he want him to do. Look at the pic I posted. What the heck kind of question. Instead of apologizing, he was very rude. I will not be ordering from here any longer ♀️ terrible customer service ☹️.
