    wow. super juicy and perfectly seasoned meats. this place is the absolute perfect snack to fill up and or save a minute if you're waiting at the dmv around the corner. the beef had a great sofrito profile and the chicken with veggies just bursted with awesome flavors too. the hot sauce was vibrant and really hit it out the park. can't wait to come back

Great street style empanadas and tasty food truck. If you’re near the Barclays and hungry on the go it’s definitely worth checking out this food truck and enjoying some tasty fried empanadas! They’re good stuff!

    Best priced empanadas in BK. Some people have complained that it's expensive, but you gotta consider that these empanadas have a good amount of fill ins and are exploding with flavor. Especially if you use the green sauce. You gotta try the mushrooms empanadas, those are beyond my favorite. Properly seasoned, they're not dry, super tasty. My second favorite are spinach cheese. These empanadas are pretty filling. You can tell they're they're because you see lines around lunch hour. And most of the times they're fully stocked on empanadas.

    Spectacular food. I am skeptical of food trucks but this completely won me over. I'm a vegetarian and got rice and bean empanada, spinach empanada, Nutella and banana empanada and a veggie burrito. The spinach empanada was good but not my favorite. Rice and bean was so good. Veggie burrito might be one of my favorite burritos ever? Haven't had Nutella banana but sure it's amazing. Their lemonade is also so good too!! $25 for 3 empanadas, a burrito and a lemonade. I'll be returning

    Scamming Truck! I went to the white truck that’s on the right side of the Apple Store entrance when walking to the Apple Store from Atlantic Terminal. I order some birria tacos and was told $30, but when it came time to pay, I gave 2 $20’s and they refused to give me my full change back and decided to say,”It’s $33”. I understand inflation is real, but if you’re going to say one price, don’t then decide you want a tip afterwards by “raising” the price when you want a tip. They lost a customer and I hope people see my comment to avoid them.

    Great stuff. Satisfying beef and chicken empanadas every time! Crispy, kept warm, filled well, AMAZING green salsa. Can't beat the price or speed, nor the kindness of the staff.

    I had the empanadas here and they were delicious. I’m not a fan of empanadas in general but these were good. They were lightly fried and the filling was tasty. I got the vegetarian empanadas, spinach and mushroom and liked them both. They have a lot of meat and vegetarian options.

    Convenient spot for me for a snack. Ordered a ground beef and a chicken empanada. Was served a warm, crispy shell with well seasoned filling. Fast and friendly service and had no problems paying cash. Paying with card looks a little inconvenient for them. Would go back again and recommend for a quick, tasty snack.

    The truck is here many hours a day! It was 8 am and there was fresh coffee and a delicious and delicious roll seasoned beef empanada! The truck is the cleanest food truck I’ve ever seen! I have been coming here for years, come see them!

    Subpar, cheap empanadas. My empanada was soggy with oil and not fresh at all. Cheap at 3.50. Would rather pay more for higher quality

    Perfectly hits the spot after a Nets game. Beef and chicken empanadas are both straight fire!

    The atmosphere is a busy intersection of people. But the service and food is amazing. The food comes quick and hot. And the food is more than amazing. One of the best Mexican foods in Brooklyn, the tacos and empanadas are the best. Food isn't too expensive either.

    The best empanadas I've tasted so far. The meat inside is fresh and juicy not dried out like most other places, you could taste all the seasoning on the meat, the crust was crunchy but not over cooked. It was a pleasant experience. 👍🏿👍🏿

    Live in LA now, and crave these all the time. Nothing like it anywhere. They fry it uniquely and pastry is flaky, crispy and soft at try same time. When i get married, I’m catering a 100 of these in.

    Better alternative choice instead of going to McDonald’s or Starbucks for a quick bite to eat. Perfect for grabbing something right after a train ride. Good empanadas beef and cheese is what I get and price and portion/size of empanada is reasonable!

    Los tacos me ponen triste. Very bad and very COLD store bought corn tortillas y demasiada lechuga. No hubo pico de gallo o queso. Please consider removing tacos from the menu. They’re very easy to make correctly.
