My family and I stop here almost every Saturday when we go to the public market and the breakfast empanadas are our first priority. They are consistent and flavorful and the sauces are really good. They have a variety of drinks and you can get through the constant line quickly because they are efficient. Check out this local gem!

Pretty tasty empanadas! Tried this place on our regular trip to the market & it was good.
Rice, bean, and cheese was the better of the two we tried. It was hot, flavorful, and well filled – though perhaps a bit salty. I would get this one again.
Veggie breakfast was just okay. It was notably less full than the other one, and wasn’t quite heated through all the way. Compared to the first empanada, this one didn’t have a lot of strong flavors. Maybe we just got a bad batch here – so I’m willing to give this one another shot next time.
Service was quick & the people working were helpful & friendly.
I’ll be curious to come back again & try some of the other options here

I am extremely picky when it comes to eating out. I also don’t want to spend too much eating what I like. A friendly atmosphere with friendly staff is a must for me. This place has it all!! The staff is super friendly and helpful. I wasn’t sure what exactly to eat when I arrived. I heard so many good things about this place. The staff helped guide me and helped me choose precisely what I wanted. They have various specials. When you buy various Empanadas they do better deals. This is exactly what i wanted. More bang for your buck. Staff was outstanding and they helped me choose all the different Empanadas flavors. They have the best selection in town. They have about 10 various options. They are also Vegan friendly with some items. I also decided to try what they call a combination platter. I had the rice. Beans and chicken but they also have pork, I believe. That combination platter included one free Empanada. AMAZING! It was so delicious. They also had many different options in terms if drinks. They have a delicious coffee hot or cold as well as many Spanish drinks. I’ve heard so many good things about this place I had to try it for myself. And I’m glad I did…this was outstanding. I would recommend this place to anyone. I will be going back to try their wide selection of Empanadas soon if you’ve never been here but wanted to try it. Make sure to do so and bring some friends. We had a great time dancing to their Spanish music. They had a very long line but went by very quickly. The staff was super fast. I only waited in line for about 3 minutes.

We had the Combo Plate which was an overall good value. The food was hot and fresh but did not meet the expectations for all the hype.
Service was friendly but lacked the awareness for little things like keeping the sauces full. The selection of sauces was excellent. If I attend another event at the Market I would consider patronizing them again because it was a fair value.

I do not like leaving bad reviews, but I feel like I must. The staff was friendly. I went in there to enjoy the Food Truck Expo at public market. We decided to get an empanada before working the lines at the trucks. We decided on beef and cheese. I had the beef. We were three people, but she told us that we would save a few bucks if we got 4 instead. So, that’s why we added a cheese. The 4 empanadas ended up being $20!
At first bite, all I could taste was the pastry part. The dough was way too crispy. I love crispy…don’t get me wrong. I even enjoy when some come out a bit burnt, as long as there is flavor, it is fresh, and not black. Anyways, the dough tasted really stale and flavorless. When I finally got to the meat, it seemed to have decent flavor at first, but it had am almost soap like aftertaste. The people I came with didn’t taste the same thing, so it was probably just me. However, they agreed that the consistency of filling…plus the flavor…was off. We are Puerto Ricans so empanadas is common in our homes, which is why I didnt want to critique it too much. Everyone has their own way or making things and have preferences and whatnot. But I can say that it was overpriced and something I would never eat again…not even for free. The guy who ate the cheese said the insides tasted better than beef, but the dough was way too stale and overworked. I was excited about this place, and hoped it was better since they offer stuff for those who didn’t eat meat. I will post menu and let you decide. Maybe those who did not have empanadas growing up may enjoy one from here…but it is a firm NO from me. I am disappointed and felt $5 is excessive and to think that she claimed it was a “deal”. I didn’t even finish it. I ended up throwing it out before leaving the building.
I did go to food truck at the market soon after and tried their empanadas. Their empanadas were the same price, which may come with the territory (food truck event) but I am happy with the pizza one I got from there.

My family and I LOVE Juan and Maria’s restaurant. The atmosphere is family friendly and the workers are wonderful. My family love the beef and cheese, beef and onion and breakfast empanadas, The rice and beans and the sauces are amazing, as well. Everything tastes so fresh. Loving the strawberry cheesecake empanada and looking forward to trying the tropical cheesecake next.

Even though the price of $6 plus up charge for breakfast one is outrageous, We love the food here hence the 4 stars.
not being able to tell which kind is which and being told to look at the chart for the “holes” is frustrating when you have many people getting different kinds and take to go. Would love a better system. Maybe little toothpick flags or something.

We really love these empanadas but we feel really ripped off. We went to take some frozen ones from the market and they wouldn’t honor the deal on their menu for this. It really disappointed me that we had to pay a higher price for a less effort option when we were taking more home to enjoy through the week instead of eating at the market
