As far as I know, this is the first review for Empanada Joe's, a new fast food empanada place in the Morningside Heights district of Manhattan, New York City. They are opening up two other locations in Downtown Manhattan, New York City, also. Well, here we go...
Um, this place was not that good. I had an Argentine Beef and a Rojo Pulled Pork. Both were fine but nothing special. Both cost $3.38. Both were small - eating 2 still left me quite hungry. Both had good enough crusts. The pork was a tad dry. The hot sauce seemed to be straight-up Frank's. I mean, I like Frank's Hot Sauce, but for an empanada I think I would like something different. Anyway, pretty underwhelming and not really worth $3.38 plus tax.
So that was my review!
Waiting. Took about 10 minutes to get my order. Not really worth the wait.
Um, you'd be better if you cost a dollar.

wow, very special, i like it.
No -- that's the whole point -- it's NOT special.
Why are you always making these random comments that have no relation to what I've written? Makes me feel like you don't even read the posts...
Hi!
Hmm.. I was intrigued by this place but now that I've read your review I probably wont be going there.
Do you know of a place where one can get a good empanada for a decent price?
see how boring comments are when they are in relation to what you just wrote...a lesson. no offense msr. sans whatever whatever
Well thanks, Maria. Unfortunately a lot of offense was taken. I'd comment on your blog but I would the first.
Anyways I'm just a guy trying look for some good empanadas in NYC.
Cafe con Leche has good empanadas. There's one around 96 & Amsterdam and another in the 80s and Amsterdam.
ouch that hurt a lot msr. sans ampersand...do it again.
Can I be Frank? Oh wait, I am! The hot sauce probably seemed to be straight-up Frank's because (duh) it is. Despite my name, however, I prefer the homemade chipotle mayo.
I ate there today for lunch. Got my chow in three minutes. Tried three empanadas, all delicious. Spicy corn salad very fresh. Washed it all down with a big Goya mango juice.
Heck, I'd love empanadas for a dollar, too. Sure we'll see them right after dollar-a-gallon gas makes a comeback.
Frank - are you in any way affiliated with Empanada Joe's? Are you, in fact, Joe, and not Frank?
The "homemade" chipotle mayo didn't seem very "homemade" -- I saw them pouring it into the dispensers out of a huge container with a sticker listing nutritional information.
I tried this place today and it was fucking terrible. I would have to eat about 4-5 of these things to feel full and honestly at $4 for each, I would rather spend the $20-$25 on a nice sit down meal.
Fail
This so called "Frank" above is obviously a stooge for this place. It's laughable.
Fuck him.
He can choke on what comes out the other end which won't be much better than what went down.
Wow, you guys are really upset about Empanada Joe's. Next time just go to Westside Market and get some Hotpockets.
F-R-A-N-K. Not J-O-E. Shoot me for liking the place. If hotpockets are your idea of good food, F-A-P-P-A-F, you go for it. Me, I'm glad for the nice alternative.
