The 9 Most Legit Latin Restaurants In NYC

Empanada Mama has two locations in Manhattan (LES and Hell’s Kitchen) and a delivery service that will make your Netflix and chill night even better. With 100% natural ingredients and a variety of crusts, they have an adventurous assortment of flavors. Some of the favorites are the reggeaton (roast pork with sofrito seasoned yellow rice and gandules), the Greek spinach (classic Greek style empanada with spinach and feta cheese), and the shredded beef (slowly cooked beef marinated in traditional Colombian spices). To wash it all down, try the house-made salpicón, a fruit punch made from melon, bananas, grapes, watermelon, and apples. Cheap, delicious, and great for eating on the run, these are the mamas of all the empanadas.
