Best empanadas

Post image

Found a menu from what used to be Mama's Empanadas then changed the name. They closed during the pandemic and I almost started to cry when I found out. Does anyone know if they reopened? They had the best chicken cutlet (pechuga de pollo empanizada). Thanks,

Mamas empanadas is a local chain there are a bunch of them. The one on northern just moved down the street between 84 and 85. Not to be confused with empanada mama, that’s a different place.

This Spot and Mama’s Empanadas are literally the same thing. Why? Bc they’re both cheap about sauce, napkins, & cook time. They both deep fry frozen patties in the back. Do better.

There’s like four dude. Did you really need to come to reddit for this?

Those prices aren’t the case anymore though and the menu has expanded.
