Mi Empanada

It might be tiny, but it's brimming with flavor and character. This is a hidden gem! We went for a late lunch and brought home more for dinner!The brisket, chicken, and black bean empanada are shown. My favorite was the brisket. Delicious!!! Light, crispy, excellent reheated in an airfryer. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful choosing food. It's currently smallish, seats 4, but they are putting outdoor seating so get out there and be sure you're hungry!

Wow we finally tried this place and I am so glad we did! We got a sampling of flavors to try later that day at home. However we did ask for the bacon egg and cheese one heated up and it was so good for a breakfast option! Our favorite was the beef brisket, but the chicken, beef, and buffalo chicken were good as well. The crusts are excellent, and I really liked all the sauce options (we tried both chimis, the spicy, and the carrot hot sauce). Everything was tasty and heated up really well in our air fryer. We also got an apple dessert one which was pretty good too, but I preferred the savory options. We will definitely be back!

Perfect place to grab a quick bite in Lawrenceville! The sauces pair very well and they have amazing vegetarian options as well. The sweet potato black bean empanada... **chef's kiss! Thank you for incorporating vegetarian options in your menu! There are so few options in Lville. 4 stars just because it's so hard to wrap my head around the prices. You need to spend quite a bit to get full here!

Absolutely love all the different flavors and variety of options! From traditional empanadas to more unique combos, they have it all. The chimichurri dipping sauce on the side is incredible too!

Expensive empanadas. I am coming from New York City that has a much larger Hispanic population so selling empanadas for five dollars would be crazy. And even doing it here to me is still kind of crazy. But I guess when there's less options available, you get to do what you want. empanada was ok, I got the buffalo chicken and the cheese and onions. I would suggest not getting the cheese and onions. The onions were very slimy and the cheese wasn't that great either. the buffalo chicken was decent tho. I probably would not return for an empanada, I don't think they are worth the price. Nor is the taste that great. I do understand that they have a lot of fans though so try it for yourself if you insist.

I wanted to be excited about this place - funky Lawrenceville shop with a semi-novelty food item, pretty display/layout inside. Indeed, they sell many different empanada flavors (mostly meat but also some vegetarian). You can check out the entire array when you walk inside and it does make for some mouth-watering lunch shopping. But I was just underwhelmed by the empanadas themselves. I tried the chicken flavor and butternut squash flavor on two different days. Both were very doughy (can't go wrong there) and also pretty bland. The chicken one literally had no flavor whatsoever; the squash one had a bit of semi-sweet filling, but again mostly dough. Both times, I was left feeling like I had eaten a big fluffy biscuit, so a tasty snack but not really a proper lunch.You can buy sauces in small plastic containers for $1 each but this feels like a roundabout way to add flavor to something. The empanadas are already $5 each, so I'd expect them to come with more flavor rather than having to pay more just to add flavor via the sauce. I'd recommend that they bake some of the sauce flavor into the empanadas themselves.My favorite perk was the $7 deals for two of yesterday's empanadas. More reasonable that the $5 price and they heat up very quickly in the toaster oven.

Really delightful empanadas shop with great food. We tried their "take and bake" option with great success. There are many empanadas to choose from, including several vegetarian options.If you order ahead, the pickup is quick and friendly.I absolutely recommend the sauces, especially the traditional chimichurri.

This place in Lawrenceville has a great selection of homemade empanadas! I love that they press their own and their empanadas have " Mi Empanada " printed on the side of them. They have a lot of different types, from buffalo chicken to vegan ones.I love that they have vegan options but I didn't love the vegan spinach one. The chicken one I got was really good though. I like how they sell frozen ones in store too.

I tried the lamb empanada and it was so good! This was my first empanada experience, let's just say I will be coming back for more! They even toasted it so we could have it hot. There were limited seating inside, but we managed to fit three by the bar top. The staff was friendly and helpful. This is great for a snack or as a meal. Can't wait to try some of the other empanadas!

Oh these were SO good! I stopped for a few this afternoon and enjoyed the buffalo chicken, beef and then the chicken had a piece of the parchment paper in it we're only human and I'm not going to rid the place off forever cause the others were just fine and delicious.. I just hope they're more careful with their prep in the future. Service was quick and very nice.
