My deepest apologies—I didn’t realize they closed early and missed their phone call while I was driving. Thankfully, I was able to pick up my order before the staff left.
I’m happy to leave a great review because the empanadas were fresh and absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Thank you so much!

The creation of the empanada predates the Spanish empire even though the word empanada comes from the Spanish word ‘empanar,’ meaning “to cover in pastry with dough.” They are popular in countries all around the world, and the filling options are just as varied. Enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, served as an appetizer or main dish.
Opened just two years ago in a little strip mall consisting of 2 stores off S Main St in Lodi, I came to Empanadas NJ Cafe as a first-timer for lunch. Upon entering this cozy shop with 3 tables for dining, I was greeted by the staff at his family-owned/family-run establishment specializing in Argentinian empanadas. These, put simply, are savory baked hand-held pastries.
A large selection menu featured everything from Beef, Chicken, Ham & Cheese to Apple Pie, Hawaiian, and Guava & Cheese. One can’t go wrong with any of the options.
After speaking with Lucas, the owners’ son, he recommended their popular Beef, Chicken, and Cuban Empanadas.
They arrived hot. Each empanada was identified with the initials on the left side border. The shells were not greasy. They were packed full with the flavorful fillings with the accompanied Chimichurri sauce and were delicious. The price was comparable to the area. The staff was friendly and helpful; the service was fast.
They’ve gotten so popular that a second location has been announced in Boonton. It was worth every minute, which I can recommend.

Stopped by this place tonight with a craving, and definitely don’t regret it! A cute Argentinian cafe and Empanada shop, I’ll def have to stop by again and eat in! The pastry is PERFECTLY flaky and crisp, a perfect size, and packed to the absolute brim with filling! Based on the other reviews I’ll def have to come back and try the beef and pulled pork~!
I placed an order for pickup on DoorDash and I was shocked by how fast I got the notification that they were already hot and ready for me and when got there I was super pleased by how warm I could tell they were just by holding the bottom of the box!
Side note to the owner/owners unrelated to the food, I love all the houseplants in there, the pop of color is SO PRETTY and really makes the shop feel comfy!

Appearance: 8.7/10
Taste: 10/10
Located on South Main Street in Lodi NJ is an Argentinean café that specializes in house made empanadas
Owner Felix introduced me to a variety of the signature product.
There were so many choices, that it was hard to make a decision.
Two Uncut Empanadas:
Have a look at the outer shell of these stuffed pastries. It’s a win-win whether you have one as an appetizer or a few as a main course. It’s time to crack open these empanadas and see what’s on the inside!
Egg, Bacon, & Cheese Empanada:
Start off the most important meal of the day with the egg, bacon, and cheese breakfast empanada. If you are a morning person, you’ll definitely feel like an early bird that catches the worm!
Beef:
This original empanada is packed with meat, onions, and bell peppers. There’s also a hint of hard-boiled egg , which adds an extra layer of savory flavor.
Chicken:
If you are a fan of Halal chicken, then this style is a must try!
Pulled Pork:
I’m not pulling your leg when I say the pulled pork was divine. The protein was roasted in the oven and smothered in house made barbecue sauce.
Spinach:
If you aren’t in a carnivorous mood and are desiring some veggies, then try the spinach empanada. I can virtually guarantee that if Popeye were to explore this vegetarian empanada, he will ditch his can of spinach in a heartbeat.
It was a pleasure visiting this café and I’m looking forward to trying their other menu items.

quality food, amazing flavor without all the grease. the best way to describe them is baked empanadas . the service is great , last time a women helped me out, today a kid about 16( assuming their son) asked me if I liked my food, which I do. I even took some more to go, only con is that there is only seating for about 6 people.

One of our favorite options for a quick, filling lunch to-go. Made with fresh ingredients, plenty of filling, and hot-baked. Beef and bacon egg and cheese are must-tries. The people working here are friendly, too!

The empanadas are very good, and have a lot of filling. I tried the beef, spinach and cuban, and really loved the cuban. I had a cappuccino and it was just perfect. Service is quick and great.
