Reviews for The Original Empanada Factory in Lyndhurst, NJ
Disappointed thought this would be a good spot for Empanadas but I was underwhelmed it was under seasoned with more beef no site... of cheese Empanadas I even tried the Pollo Italian and fries it was so saturated in mustard with literally nothing but 4 thinsstrips of unseasoned chicken two pieces of taylor ham where was the rest of it i had No Provolone cheese or salami i paid 12 forthat with soggy fries needless to say I will not be returning to this spot i even drove 20mins out my way to try this spot itwas not worth the Gas.

Very disappointed. I ordered the beef and cheese empanada and it was filled with what looks like potatoes. Terrible flavor.... Would not recommend this place. Read more
Saw on Grubhub searching for empanadas. There were many selections of empanadas & other sandwiches. I got a few to try them out.... They weren?t greasy. Not sure if they are baked. Tho hot and fresh & great flavor. A+++ thanks again? see you soon?. Read more
I was really excited about this place and their skinny Cuban. But I started eating it and realized the chicken was raw. I'm... pregnant and freaking out now. I called and the girl on the phone apologized but that was it Read more
Had a Great Experience here. The Dessert Empanada was the highlight. Very pricey at $3 per empanada, but they do deliver a... quality product. You can have your dessert empanada hot or cold. I had cold. The flaky casing was perfect with a good amount offilling..I ate one in the car and immediately went back in to bring 6 more home. The Beef empanada was off the charts as well. Iwill be back for sure. Great job. Read more
I love empanadas so why not start my cheat day with some. When I arrived there was only street parking but I found a spot right... away. When I walked in there was someone ahead of me but when I got to the counter I asked questions and the server was veryinformative. I decided to go with the buffalo chicken empanada and beef empanada. She told me I can add a drink for the sameprice so I went with the lemonade. It only came to about $5.35 which is a bargin. When I got home I put the items away withplans to eat the next day. Who has empanadas for breakfast? I do, because it's my cheat day. I dug in and they were really good.My favorite was the beef empanada. The lemonade was so good. I will definitely be back! Read more
The empanadas were fantastic ! They have ample amount of choices. I decided to go with the buffalo chicken which was great-... totally stuffed with shredded chicken & buffalo sauce. I also went for the bacon, egg& cheese which I wasn?t toooooooo sureabout but ended up LOVING it. My boyfriends go to choice is the Philly cheese steak && chicken / cheese. Awesome spot! Theempanadas are heated up and placed into a to go box & bag. They also have seating if you wanted to enjoy your lunch / snackinside! We also ordered the lemonade which was perfectly sweetened & flavorful. I?ll definitely drop back here for lunch againsoon & try a couple different types !!! Read more
This is by far one of my favorite Empenada spots I have ever been to, they have a huge variety and they are baked not fried.... These empanadas are completely stuffed with goodness, you will not get an empanada that is half stuffed or less than halfstuffed Also I can't say enough about the staff. They're so very kind and helpful. If you're looking for an excellent empanadathis is your spot. Read more
