    Very Good Place. Everything from empanadas to yaroas is freshly made. We got the fries and maduro yaroas as well as the Empanada Combo #2. The empanadas are nice and tender and the filling has so much flavor. They also gave us a complimentary natural shake, that tasted great! Everything tasted great! Definitely recommend to others, specially if you’re looking to satisfy any Dominican craving!

    NO JOKE! The best empanada I've ever had!!! Its golden, flaky pastry shell was perfectly crisp. The filling itself was chock’full of seasoned meats, onions, and a hint of spice. Every bite was a burst of savory goodness, making it a memorable and must-try treat for anyone seeking an exceptional empanada.

    Delicious empanadas I would go as far as saying the best I’ve ever had. The chicken and the beef and cheese were our favorite. 10 empanadas and 2 sodas for under $20 a special at GrubHub give’m a try

    As with other reviews on this site the empanadas are superb excellent variety of choices when it comes to the sauces and also the meats and what they're accompanied with. Also, the service is excellent and the owners are very friendly 🙂 To be honest, this is probably one of the top empanadas I've had in the states. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

    Since I moved into the area this is my #2 place I go to for takeout. They have everything from of course empanadas, to desserts, sandwiches and even more. They treat the customers very well and even give updates on new dishes they are making. My favorite would have to be the loaded fries because they are tasty and quite filling not like your ordinary cheese fries. Highly encourage anyone to give it a shot. My only gripe is that they recently cut down their portions while increasing the price a bit. First claimed that it was the same portion packed into a smaller size but I wasn’t buying it lol it was noticeably different to the point where I’d need a few slices of pizza after one serving to get me full; whereas the original portions were enough to hold their own. Hope that changes but still great food.

    Literally come here all the time. Amazingly delicious, super filling, not crazy expensive (and I buy in bulk every time) super tasty and fluffy empanadas. I recommend to everyone and they also have a variety of flavors. Great go to as well when you don’t want to cook. Rice is banging as well.

    They deserve 10+ stars. My mother's 90th birthday. She had been in the hospital and just came home a couple of days before her birthday, our original plans for her birthday had to be cancelled so I placed a catering order the night before to celebrate at her place instead. I explained my situation and David was so accommodating. Not only did he take a my order and fulfill my order with such short notice when everyone else declined. That is what good business practices is all about. Customer service 101 class. I am forever grateful to the owners @ Empana Central. The empanadas we're super tasty.The food is amazing. Everything was amazing. The pasta meat ziti was very good and we had a true Italiano in our guest party who approved. Excellent service and awesome food Thank you so much! I will pass by next week to meet you and thank you in person

    Delicious food made to order. Reasonable prices. Only thing I would've liked was more seasoning on the meat and a bit more of their sauce in the loaded fries. Other than that, great place and really nice customer service!
