Their food is good and somewhat cheap, I like the variety of empanadas available. However the service is always a hit or miss…. Sometimes you gotta wait extra long.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Sergio I · Sep 2025

I support small businesses, and I’m all in for my Latino community. It gets to a point where a small business can only be small if it’s doing well for a good amount of time, mamas empanadas shouldn’t be labeled a small business and that being said I’m tired of this place never taking card. This place has multiple locations, one in times scare mind you, with some miserable workers, food is amazing, but I’m tired of them avoiding filing taxes by only taking cash.

★★★★☆ 4.0 E C · Sep 2025

Food was a bit of a wait since they had to fry up the broccoli and cheese one i ordered, but it was delicious! They gave us the green and orange sauce for free, more than enough for the 3 empanadas i ordered. I would come back again!

How is it possible that this place is so famous but only takes cash, while the other empanada places don’t? Could they be laundering money or something?

★★★★★ 5.0 Maria Hernandez · Jun 2019

This is the best location for Mama’s empanadas. The wait and the line can be a bit long because of how busy they get however, the ladies that work in the register are very nice and accommodating. My personal favorites are the beef with potatoes, cheeseburger, and for dessert the caramel with cheese. Definitely the best location to go to. 5/5
