My husband ordered four cheese empanadas (which he waited to be cooked). Drove home 45 minutes , reheated & took two bites of meat something or other. We are vegetarian so this is extremely distressing to me. Called the store & nobody answered. Never. Ever. Again.

I moved out of town, and when I came back, four years later, I was looking forward to eating at Empanada guy, however, I was highly disappointed. The food had gone way downhill.The Cuban sandwich had mashed up pork and burnt ham, and the empanadas were way different and not in a good way… what the hell happened to you?

I ordered white rice beans, and the rice that was given to me was very soggy and wet. Worst part is that he made it in an pressure cooker. If this is a restaurant you think he would cook the rice fresh like a real cook would on stove. I told him to give me Amarillos and he said Maduros. I told him they are called Amarillos. And for the record it is an Empandilla NOT an Empanada. Look it up.

Got some empanadas at Oceanfest. They were hot and crunchy and seasoned well (not bland). But they were a bit sweet for my taste. I prefer less sweet and more spice.

What happened to this place? Can't get gold of anyone and the restaurant is always closed during their posted "open" hours. Don't waste your time unless you can get confirmation they're open.

My wife and I had their chicken, beef, guava, and apple empanadas. They were all delicious and the best empanadas we ever had. I met the owner of the brand at the restaurant today and he is awesome. His vibrant energy and passion for his craft and restaurant shows. It was a honor to meet him and talk with him for a bit. We will be back again. Empanada Guy empanadas are the best ever.

Sorry, for what they charge this food was not good. Very salty and greasy no taste. Not authentic whatsoever. Eat at your discretion!

Most festivals have become food truck heaven, and when the New Jersey Devils fan fest included the Empanada Guy I was ready for some flavor. I ordered beef empanadas, and they were even better than I had remembered. Flaky on the outside, and the beef was outrageous. These were delicious. I did not realize he has a restaurant, which will prevent my becoming an empanada food truck groupie.

Food is amazing and the guy who helps you is kind and friendly! Looks a little sus from the outside, but that's on the people who own the building. I'll keep going back

We were at the Food Truck Festival in Passaic NJ and Empanada Guy was there. We recognize it on Beat Bobby Flay and it looked so good on TV so when we saw it at the festival we were so surprised. Now we had so much food already from the Festival so we only share one to get a taste. They had a whole list of empanadas on the menu but we decided to ordered their beef empanada. The ground beef filling was tender and juicy with rich and savory flavor. Don't get us started with the fresh Sofrito giving us that wonderful slightly sweet and tangy taste.
