Outstanding; I was very impressed, and this is considering I often make empanada's, but this was special. I humbly take my hat off to the chef. I found out about Authentic Empanada this year at VegFest. They had 3 different empanadas to choose from: Sweet potato, rice and beans, and spinach with vegan cheese. I opted for the spinach and vegan cheese. After I paid they immediately began forming the dough, stuffing it, and frying it up right there before my eyes so it was a visual treat as well as a delicious one. Everyone inside the tent was super nice, and the homemade sauces (one avocado, and the other a sweet habanero) blew my socks off. Super delicious, great service, what more can you ask for?

Authentic Empanadas are pretty good. This is my second time having them. Last time I tried a few of their empanadas which were flavorful and flaky. This time I had their tostones with roasted chicken. They definitely hit the spot. The owners even remembered me when I first met them and tried their empanadas. Now they have moved to the Orlando area where as they use to go all over Tampa Bay. It was nice running into them again.

This food was beyond incredible! BEST dinner I've had in a long time!Their tent was stationed last weekend in Ivanhoe Village, right outside of the Lucky Lure bar... and boy, am I happy to have discovered them. My wife and I had the spicy beef and spicy chicken empanadas and the Mookie's Ultimate Bowl, which contains roast pork, chicken, and seasoned black beans over white rice. These amazingly delicious flavors took me back three decades to my youth in Aruba, where I have enjoyed my fair share of great Latin cuisine. The spices, the tostones (nice and salty with a hint of lime!!!), the meats... so well balanced... everything was top-notch. Maury was super friendly and his wife Tanya did a bang-up job... So much so that we cancelled our dinner reservations! I cannot wait for them to set up their brick-and-mortar shop!!

Best empanadas in Orlando, hands down. Handmade by a local couple, you can tell they are made with heart and love All the empanadas are fried fresh at their tent. And the owners give their regulars special touch, with a hand written note on your box. We come by every week at the Audubon Park market at Stardust, rain or shine.

I was a little disappointed they were out of chicken... but i was not disappointed by their beef!!! it was delicious. One could argue that it was a little plain; SO... id recommend the spicy beef and cheese. Keep is simple, spicy, and delicious with an S. I bought 2 empanadas. I could have devoured 5, easily. Taste to Price, Im happy. I feel like it was cheap for today's food trucks. the food was yummy and the employees were personable, kind, caring, and efficient.IDK what else you're looking for in a food truck. Much Empanada; Such Taste; Very Happiness.

Try the chicken and cheese empanadas when you come here. These empanadas are clearly made fresh and with care. They're so good I got some to go and heated them up in the oven and they were still great. They're definitely a must try.

Authentic Empanadas catered our office lunch and it was delicious.The chicken and beef empanadas were so flavorful and crispy on the outside. They also had vege empanadas. The jerk chicken with yellow rice was better than I've had in Jamaica!I highly recommend.
