Actually nice surprise to see such non-Costco actually authentic empanadas served from a kind, endearing gentleman. Two for $ 5 was a very solid deal. When I’m in queens I will definitely be back! Refreshing to see quality at a reasonable price.

I tried Karu Café’s empanadas 2 months ago and now every time I come to NY I HAVE to stop by this place, order some empanadas and ENJOY! My fave is the Chicken Empanada which I dress with the most delicious hot cilantro sauce ever. Besides, the owner is always very kind :) So, don’t miss this place if you’re close to Long Island City, you won’t regret it !
