I can’t believe the lady stole $8 from my mother!My mom asked for two spinach and cheese empanadas and the lady told her that they were only two left. Because my mother always sees her truck, she paid her and told her she would pick them up after she gets out of the clinic (didn’t want to take food into the clinic). Low and behold, the truck was no longer there (yesterday). Today my mother went back and the truck was there but with a different lady.It is crazy to me that someone would steal $8 from an eldery person. If I could give 0 stars I would!

I got two empanadas (one chicken, one beef) and a small passionfruit (parcha) juice. The "small" was at least 21 oz and more than enough for the price. The empanadas are $3 each or $4 for ones with cheese. A filling and affordable lunch. I liked the beef empanada better than the chicken. The chicken itself was well seasoned but a bit dry. The ground beef was still pretty juicy. The empanada dough was perfectly crispy. I thought both empanadas were filled with enough meat. Parcha juice was delicious and had a ton of flavor. I really liked my food and drink from here and I'd recommend it for anyone looking for something inexpensive but still high quality.

This place is dangerous, I purchased chicken and beef and both me and my son became very sick with food posion. I have no idea what happen but they sold me some bad food. Be careful!!

Food truck on Austin St. and 70 Rd. Mainly empanadas. One of the more affordable options in the area. $4 per empanada, maybe 2-3 of them would be a meal. The beef empanada was nice, while the chicken was dry. There are a couple of public benches nearby, which is convenient. They put napkins and ketchup packets in the bag--plenty of restaurants forget to do that.

Disgusting

(Translated by Google) $5 for an empanada seems a little expensive to me, they are good but not worth that much(Original)$5 por una empanada me parece algo costoso son buenas pero no para valer tanto

Best chicken empanada I've ever had!!! Always fresh, hot and meaty! It's $4 but it's the size of my hand and definitely worth it.

I tried them a few weeks ago, since, I pass them on Austin At in Forest Hills every day. There was barely any meat in the beef empanada. TheDough was inflated giving the illusion that there was a substantial amount of meat. On my way back, I informed the food truck attendant and she was extremely nice and told Me she wouldRelay the information to the owner.

70th Road. Way over-salted and dry. Could not eat. So disappointing!

This lady has been on Austin Street for years,wit her food truck. I would say she has the best empanadas that I have tasted outside of my wife's.Abuela's empanadas are definitely the best in queens, from what I have tasted from other empanadas restaurant or trucks.The chicken empanadas and the beef are good to me. I have to admit they are a little pricey, but they are worth it. The lady gives you nice portions of meat as well. She makes them right in front of you hot.

I paid $4 for a fried piece of dough. The stuffing could be ignored.

Don't know the origin of the people that make them but I'm Puerto Rican and my personal opinion they are amazing. Wish them nothing but luck.
