Other small offerings include arepas, tamales, and veal and rice balls, fork-tender meatballs in a lemon-based gravy.

5 Best Restaurants For Empanadas In NYC

August 12 2014 by CBS New York City

Empanada Mama offers more than 40 empanadas, from wheat flour to oven baked wheat flour to corn flour to dessert, from shredded chicken with sofrito sauce and red peppers to Greek sausage pie to rice and beans to hot dog and cheddar cheese (the so-called Americano) to tuna and jalapeno to figs, caramel, and cheese. To wash it all down, try the house-made salpicón, a fruit punch made from melon, bananas, grapes, watermelon, and apples. It’s especially refreshing during summer’s doggiest days.

No. 1 Rank Empanada Mama’s Empanadas

by Ziggy

A Hell’l Kitchen Guide staple from day one, this mama hasnt skipped a beat since it opened. Even when things seem slow everywhere else in the neighborhood (between lunch and dinner), these guys are busy. I’ve gone on a special empanada diet for the past few weeks. And for the purpose of this post, I picked 10 Empanadas which consists of all the popular ones, plus a few I was just curious about (e.g. polish). Scoring is 1 to 10 Z’s, with 10 Z’s being the best. Congratulations to the winners.

Empanada Mama Critic’s Pick New Yorker

by Timothy Copper

Socrates Nanas, who founded this restaurant, has a foolproof plan to feed the masses: big flavors in small packages. The menu of more than forty empanadas—stuffed and sealed wheat- or corn-based shells—is designed to hit a nostalgic nerve. Whatever flavors you like, you can expect them here, wrapped in a warm, yielding pocket: Greek (spinach pie), Cuban (ham, pork, and cheese), Polish (kielbasa and sauerkraut), Hawaiian (ham, cheese, and pineapple), Italian (sausage, peppers, and onions), American (cheeseburger). Though the three different doughs—fried wheat flour, fried corn flour, and baked wheat flour—taste equally neutral, the corn flour patty has a great crunch.
