Ruben's Empanadas

I've picked up from this place a few times for lunch. It has since closed down-I'm not really surprised by that. It's basic Argentinian Empanadas. I always drown them in the hot sauce. I've had better from Argentinian bakeries in queens but the beef ones in this location were good choice or atleast the better choice. The beef was seasoned well and had raisins in it which added a random sweetness to the meat. It was pretty good. They had a good lunch special. Buy two and get a can of soda or a water. Sure, why not!?

Great Empanadas. Stick with the Ham & Cheese and Spicy Chicken and you will always be happy.

I always order cheese or potato empanadas. If you people stopped eating animals, you would notice the great taste the non-animal empanadas have. For cheese, the cow is not killed. The guy from Mendoza is wonderful.

For a place with 'Empanadas' in the title you'd think they made good empanadas. You'd be wrong. They're wrapped in a thick, flavorless dough. I understand they're baked but still... just because it's baked doesn't mean it needs to taste like you're eating a wad of plaster. I purchased the chicken. It had a flavor similar to the type of chicken bits you'd find in a cheap cup of instant chicken noodle soup. Salty with a dull chicken flavor. And to top it off this horrible thing cost me over 4 bucks.
