Prieto El Rey De Las Empanadas

Ok so, I think this place needs more love. The negative reviews (currently) are pretty harsh in my opinion. I spent my teens and early twenties in south Florida, and you know what people in their teens and twenties eat? That's right, empanadas lol. They're cheap, hot, quick and good. Cuban empanadas are amazing, with a strong yet flaky dough with bubbles (not like a pastelito), that holds together the juices of the filling. THESE empanadas are similar with a big difference. The dough is the same amazing result and the best I've had outside south Florida. The difference is the filling. Which is not wet from vegetables and seasoning. I wouldn't say it's unseasoned at all, the beef (res) empanada I had was really tasty, with filling more akin to a nice couple of tacos than some juicier empanadas. This has a great bonus of being REALLY EASY TO EAT ON THE GO. Also, not having a juicy filling means the item stays together better. They have salsas for the empanada so you can sauce it up as you like ;) it's a pink sauce that tastes a bit like vinegar.The huevos jamón y queso (ham egg and cheese) also went over well, very cheesy eggs!Also, the owner (she seemed like the owner operator, working the big shallow frying pot in the back) was very nice and is bilingual if your Spanish is not so great like mine . Good service

They're always trying to feed me beef or chicken I just want vegetales y queso with the pink sauce

Delicious empanadas, yummy crust, large too! Glad I found this place (via Yelp). Two thumbs up!

Tasty and a variation! Price is right! Highly recommend this place! Will definitely come back favorite by far was chicken and cheese!

Amazing value. Spicy beef is the best, but chicken is outstanding. bacon egg and cheese are great, so are salami and cheese. Overall amazing value and delicious empanadas

Soooooo good, the empanadas are huge! And filled with so much flavor! Affordable prices and quick since they are made ahead of time. But still remain crispy Very friendly

Went with my daughter to try this place out, we weren't impressed by Jose's less than friendly demeanor and the labels explaining what the flavors of the empanadas weren't spelled correctly. Definitely overpriced and didn't taste good, won't be going back!

Settled a craving but very plain. Meat has no seasoning no onions no peppers nothing. I was excited to try a place that mostly does empanadas but it was the worst I've ever had

Love the empanadas, the cheese and chicken is my favorite. The only downside is that the chicken by itself can be a little dry, so the cheese adds moisture and makes it perfect. The cheese empanada is really good too as well as the breakfast one
