    I prefer the one over by the Queens Center Mall, but this one ain't too bad since it's very close to the Blink Gym I frequent. Empanadas are affordable, wish I could say the same for the entrees, gonna need to have more than 10 mere bucks for those. Soda selection is decent, nice to see a place that has Coke Zero. The sauces could be bigger, like they're too small to simply dip the empanadas in considering their wide girth, it's simply inconvenient. Kind of a lazy review I know, but for what it's worth, it's decent if you want to have lunch on a budget.

    This is an updated review, it has been 4 years since I've been protesting this location. My last visit I ordered 6 empanadas and it only took less than 10 minutes for them to serve my order. Their service time has improved 7x faster (35 mins for 3 empanadas vs. 10 mins for 6 empanadas). Kudos to for the improvement. I will return if I need empanadas, and I won't wait 4 years.

    This 5 star review is for the lone woman working at the register today at around noon. She had to answer two different phone lines, handle in person orders, and pack to go orders all at the same time. And despite it being very busy on all fronts, she handled everything beautifully while being polite and respectful to all customers. Truly impressive. Give this woman a raise. Or at least a paid day off.

    Cheap and delicious! So thankful to have an Empanada Mama in Astoria! After being introduced to Empanada Mama recently at a work event, I was ecstatic to find a shop of the famous chain in my neighborhood. This location is especially great with the ample amount of seating compared to the grab-and-go smaller locations. We selected 5 types of empanadas-beef, chicken, cheeseburger, cheese, and their new spicy chicken. We were pleasantly surprised to see how well stuffed and large the empanadas were for the price (a little less than $3 each). Our favorites were the beef and the spicy chicken. The spicy chicken was especially full of flavors and a good spice-full of onions and bell peppers. They also include two types of sauces-a cilantro one and a spicier red one. We also split the yuca fries, which were good but just a tad bit oily. Can't wait to come back here and try the many new flavors!
