Stopped by tonight after work to try this place out. It's carry out only, found in the one time coffee hut in the Pleasant Colony Ct. On the 329 by pass behind the CVS in Crestwood.
7 different kinds of empanadas - tuna, beef, chicken, bacon & egg, spinach, ham & cheese, and a sweet desserty coconut. (They also have the usual soda drinks as well as smoothies. Mango, blackberry, passion fruit and sour sop. Heck that's gotta be worth a trip in and of itself.)
I got a spinach and a beef and a coconut for dessert. Service was very fast, very nice. The empanadas themselves were quite tasty. They were small, nice and crispy and priced well at only $2 each. The beef one was nicely seasoned made up of ground beef and...I don't know. But it was good. Spinach one was good as well. Nothing earthshaking but well done none the less. I asked for some mild sauces and received 3 small cups each filled with something different. Have no idea what they were and no one said but they were sooooooo good. ( a tomato one, one dark green, and the third my favorite, a creamy light green one with cilantro . So yummy and normally I don't like cilantro.)
Coconut empanada was like a warm mounds bar wrapped in pastry minus the chocolate but drizzled with a honey-like syrup and dusted with powered sugar. I got one. I could have eaten 6.
So in short, this is a great alternative to the other fast food places in the area. Next time I will get 4 instead of 3 though but even at $8 it's a bargain considering the quality and drive through convienience.
