I’ve been checking out Hotpanada’s website and Instagram for awhile, and today was the day I finally got my empanada! There are a lot of great choices of empanadas. However, I decided to go for a more traditional one and went with the beef empanada. It was seasoned well, had a good amount of filling and a tasty crispy shell! The size was good for me and I paired it with a salad. So, I definitely enjoyed my lunch today. I also tried the pineapple and ginger drink, it was good and had a kick. A line started as soon as their food truck was open for business at 11am, so definitely a popular place. The service is amazing, the owner is very kind and engages with the customers in line! Even with a line it moved pretty fast, so I didn’t wait too long! I live in PA now, but I go back to NJ a lot, so I’ll definitely be going back to Hotpanada! Thinking of trying the Cubana empanada next time!

It was my first time there. I tried the shrimp and chicken empanada. It was delicious! Also, I tried the mango refresher. Delicious as well.

The empanadas/pastelitos were really good. The first time I had the chicken and the egg roll. The chicken one reminded me of my late Mami’s. The seasoning was perfect. Thought I was eating my mom’s stash. The egg roll was true to an egg roll taste. I had the Mint Lemonade, it’s not sweet but also not bitter. It’s perfect, very refreshing in my opinion. The second time (lol a few days later) I had the philly which was paired with a small thing of cheese wiz and another egg roll. If you have time, definitely check them out. 💫

Love it here. I go to them every week and their empanadas are always amazing. I’ve suggested two friends to try them too and they both loved it as well and go to them frequently. I don’t know her name but the lady who takes the orders is amazing. She always remembers my order and is so nice. Their sauces are amazing as well. Overall, they’re kind with great food and I’ll be going to them for a while.

Hotpanada is a killer food truck that tucks itself away in a back corner of what used to be the K Mart shopping center at the corner of Kuser and White Horse Ave. If you see a line a dozen or more deep when you arrive, don't despair, the line moves quickly! Hotpanada is run by a husband and wife team who churn out some seriously delicious grub. They have over a dozen varieties that range from traditional to dessert, and they even have vegetarian and vegan options. Being a newbie, I set myself up with a variety pack to split with my wife: traditional beef, BBQ Chicken, a Cubanonada and a Jerseynada. Each one was more delicious than the last. I formally apologize to the ownership for having waited this long to try your fried deliciousness, but I shall repent by returning frequently to sample the rest of the menu!

I feel really lucky because I got to try the samosanada for free at an event and it was DELICIOUS. So warm, so crispy, perfectly seasoned. And it’s ✨vegan✨ Definitely recommend!

Best empanadas in the area. They really out do themselves every time. We love the Philly, Cuban, pizza and apple pie. Philly is my #1 fave with mint limeade. Get there early. The line is long and the bests sell fast. Great staff!!! Kids love ringing the bell

The pizza empanadas are so good. Friendly staff !! I recommend trying the apple empanadas, they taste just like apple pie 👌🏻
