Born and raised in NYC from an Ecuadorian and Puerto Rican household, we missed some of the foods we grew up eating. So we are sharing our homemade traditions with the world! Our style is a combination of adding something new to the traditional recipes we grew up on. We are always adding to the menu, so check back often. We are also veteran owned.

I love this little Puerto Rican joint. It definitely has the New York bodega vibes. We had 3 empanadas 1 beef, 1 beef & cheese, and pizza for the 3rd one. My family and I loved them. I would love to see 2 sizes porque me quedé con las ganas ( I wanted more lol), even if you charge a little more for the big one and maybe a side of Arroz con habichuelas. (Upsale) The owner and her sister very beautiful people that love what they do. 10/10 must try

First time here 3/8 for INTL WOMENS DAY! Food and drinks were good. It was easy to get our order in. The DJ was great and we got a little goodie bag for women day!

I absolutely love this place everything is made to order so you will have to wait but it has always been worth it and it doesn’t take long. I love the spicy beef, chicken, pork and pineapple coconut for dessert. I never get dipping sauce b/c they dont need it! also you can never go wrong with the Miami Vice.

The empanadas are perceived as overpriced, with the current price of $5 exceeding the value. A more competitive price point for the size would be approximately $2.50. While the atmosphere is commendable, adjustments to either the size or pricing of the empanadas are recommended. The flavor profiles of the empanadas are, however, well-executed.

All that I can say is Weeeppa I mean the empanadas were amazing The beef was seasoned so well & that nice soft yet crispy pastry around it Then the sweet potato was just as nice
This was my first time going, definitely not my last
Lastly, to find out it’s also Veteran owned & operated, is a major bonus

As a fellow Dominican, I’ve always thought my Puerto Rican cousins made better empanadas than us
The empanda de pernil; which is the most traditional Caribbean option, ended up being just as I expected. Full of flavor, love and reminded me of being a kid. Soft, great texture and a perfect amount. Recommend 2 is good for each person.
What I love most is the atmosphere. It’s a cultural experience for those wanted to get a glimpse of Latin Caribbean vibes. Tasty empandas, a side of tostones, a beer or soda and the sounds of the island in the background. I appreciate vendors that bring a slice of paradise to Texas.

$5 for an empanada the size of my palm. Freshly made and soooo yummy. Takes about 10 min to get your order if it’s not busy. I didn’t mind the wait knowing that it was made fresh. I got the Spicy Beef Empanada to try and it came out super hot, flaky, crispy, and flavorful. big W for la reina de la cocina , i’ll be back to try more

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Empanada Joint is an absolute MUST-TRY!
I can’t say enough good things about this place. The Empanada Joint delivers flavor, freshness, and pure comfort in every single bite. Their empanadas are perfectly golden, crisp on the outside, and packed with generous, mouth-watering fillings that taste homemade and full of love.
Whether you go for the classic flavors or something more creative, every option is a hit. The seasoning is spot-on, the ingredients are fresh, and nothing ever feels greasy or heavy—just delicious and satisfying.
The staff is just as amazing as the food. Friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help you pick the perfect combo. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows from the first bite to the last.
If you haven’t tried The Empanada Joint yet, you are seriously missing out! This is the kind of place you recommend to everyone and keep going back to again and again.
A solid 10/10. Highly recommend!
