    This spot has the best Empanadas in NJ hands down, they have over 15 different flavors, great customer service, fast and friendly I've never had an issue with them. My personal favorites are the BBQ chicken and cheese and turkey and cheese. They also serve hot sandwiches and burgers!!! The philly cheese steaks are to die for. Honestly

    Best empanadas in Paterson! And my boyfriend has lived in P town his whole 40 years of life & said the same thing! So juicy, you don't need the sauce, but it's good too. Welcoming environment & great food keep us coming back for more!

    I placed an order for empanadas yesterday based on the rave reviews and I'm so glad I did. 1st when I got there the girls behind the counter were so nice that alone would have brought me back and then I tasted the philly cheese steak empanada and oh my God was it amazing!! This is my new go to spot looking forward to trying the Chicken next. Keep up the great work ladies 😊😊

    This was my 3rd time here getting empanadas and I must say I enjoyed every single visit. I tried most of the different flavors like beef,cheese,chicken, Philly cheese steak, cheeseburger and the buffalo chicken empanada and I must say if you are ever in the area STOP BY because you won’t be disappointed 😋

    This family owned establishment is amazing. Super affordable, super comfy and the owners are very welcoming and have exceptional customer service. I’m from Connecticut and my friends live in Patterson. When I first tried on the go empanadas I thought they wouldn’t have vegetarian options for me and to my surprise, they did!! I became hooked and for a whole week and even became a regular! Every time I would come in the owner would make my favorite veggie empanadas, remembered my face and my order, she made me feel welcomed and I’m happy I gave them a try because this is definitely a hidden gem and by far the best empanadas my friends and I have ever had! Till next time guys ❤️

    I love this place and it’s food. There’s a but here for my review today though. This is the second time i drive 15 minutes out to buy just to drive here and see that it’s closed. I tried callng ahead before making my way but it seemed like it’s connected to a cellphone number. Hours of business said it’s open but it’s not. Correct this please coming from a customer this is unprofessional.

    Delicious food, amazing customer service and always worth the money spent. They have a lot of empanada flavors and other food options to choose from. My favorite empanadas are the the cheeseburger and the chicken and cheese, but trust me the other flavors and menu options are just as delicious! The employees are very pleasant and friendly. Frances is always helpful, polite and so kind. This is my go-to place for any event that requires me to bring a dish lol If you’re in the area stop by, support and enjoy!

    Aside from the place looking rundown the food was amazing my bf and his mom order a chicken and beef empanada and it was fresh and said was good I however ordered there empanada Supreme which they make on the spot and I did my vegan style no meat and was one of the best empanadas I ever had. You do have a choice to have it with chosen beef or beans as well but if you go here you should deff try the empanada Supreme. I would definitely come back here if I'm ever in the area again.

    Didn't expect them to make a vegan empanada, pretty awesome. Presentation is nice too, girl that made these actually took the time. Worth it.

    Empanadas are some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Anastancia O. 1 year ago on Google
    Los Immortales is more a bodega than a restaurant. It has a great bakery section with delicious doughnuts and elephant ears. The doughnuts are really fresh and filled with a caramel filling. They also had terrific Peruvian cookies. The empanadas are really good as well. The ham and cheese is really good and when heated up is gooey and light. The beef and chicken ones are just as good as well. Be prepared to speak Spanish as the staff here's English is not that good. Everything is really good and very cheap. The place is a very interesting experience.

    The best empanadas I’ve ever tasted! This place is a gem. Always fresh and delicious. They offer various varieties and are always super friendly. The owners always make sure you have what you need and on time! Y’all need to check it out if you haven’t tried!

    Tried the chicken, beef, cheeseburger, and hotdog/cheese empanadas… ALLL DELICIOUS!!!! Definitely going back for more!

    I’ll preface this review as I did one of my prior reviews. I’m Cuban so when I go to an establishment like this I try not to be bias or compare to the food I had growing up. Luckily, this place doesn’t try to replicate old style empanadas. It’s different, it’s fresh, and it’s creative. The first time I went there, I was driving through town with my friend and I was so hungry that I was getting annoyed easily. I saw this place on the other side of the street, immediately made a u-turn and went in. I was surprised when I didn’t see a typical Spanish restaurant with the typical types of empanadas.
