Now admittedly I’m jealous of Biggles and his door to door tamale service - but I’ve found something to appease my green monster. Door to door empanada delivery. Empanada Mamma now ranks in the Top 5 of our take out menu drawer.
Ordering from Empanada Mama is simple, with each empanada costing between $1.75 to $3.00 and delivery taking between 10-15 minutes. The wife and I order 3-4 each and usually have 2-3 leftover for the next day. So far we’ve tried just about all of them, with the Wheat Flour Chicken and Beef being our favorites. The Wheat Flour Beef
Wheat Flour
Beef - Shredded beef that’s nice and juicy. Excellent with a good habanero hot sauce.
Chicken - Shredded chicken but sometimes comes with peas. Good but not as juicy as the beef.
Cheese Steak - Reminds me of a hot pocket, but better - Good cheese sauce and peppers.
Pizza mozzarella & tomato - This one might as well be a hot pocket.
Hawaiian ham, cheese & pineapple - The pineapple in this is too sweet, almost makes a dessert empanada
Cuban ham, pork, & cheese - Good basic ham and cheese.
Polish keilbasa & sauerkraut - I loved this one, but the wife wasn’t too keen on it.
Elvis peanut butter & banana - You can check it out in the picture below, but this one was much tastier then it looks.Corn Flour
Beef - I love the corn flour, but the ground beef in this one just doesn’t work for me.
Chicken - Tasty, but not much different then the wheat flour chicken.
Sausage - I was expecting more from this one, sausage was not impressive at all.

Empanada Mamma provides a nice green sauce with each order, but I’m not sure what it’s made of. Mystery sauce but it’s tasty.

Elvis is alive and well at Empanada Mama
If your in New York City, make sure you get some empanadas delivered asap and ask for extra green sauce. You can tell them to leave the red sauce, it’s pretty forgettable.

Oh man, those look good. You think they’ll deliver to Michigan? I wish we had a place like that around here.
To me, that green sauce tasted like the Peruvian hot sauce known as “aji,” if I’m remembering correctly…
Them’s tasty pies, indeed!
Those things look soo good, they dont serve anything like that around my house i dont think?
These look nice. Remind me of cornish pasties tho
Great hunks of Mexicanna goodness!!!! I wish I had a couple of those right now with a 1/2 gallon of that mystery sauce!!
I love those green peruvian sauces. I wonder if anyone has a recipe? the best one is from Pio Pio in queens followed closely by Gus chicken and mama’s empanadas also in queens. Try them they are incredible. I by them by the pint and put them on everything.
When I received the bill, I noticed that I had been overcharged for one of the items on the computer printed receipt. I showed this mistake to the manager and showed him the correct price visible on the large board. He REFUSED to correct the price and was low class enough to suggest I take the difference out of the poor waiter’s tip!!! I have never met a more dishonest and unsavory restaurant manager. The management here obivously does not care about their customers or their waitstaff.
Empanada Mama’s is a grrreat place to eat and hang out i never had a problem with the manager or staff, i was a waiter once and some customers are very difficult and rude, this last comment must be from one of those people boring people that complaints about everything.

Holy moly batman !!! Those little deep fried pillows of love look GREAT. I want 6, right now. Man, those must be good slathered in some fancy Jalapeno sauce of distinction.
I have to smoke a goat leg today, pretty excited.
