19 reviews and only one person tried something other than the Empanadas here? I'm disappointed in you Yelpers. Maybe it's my fault for being the kind of guy that visits Jerusalem and doesn't go to the Sexateria, but 1 out of 19? Sigh...
The empanadas were very tasty but small for the kind of hunger my friend's and I were brewing. We had two corn pies and one veggie empanada for three people and proceeded to inhale our food.
I had never heard of corn pie before or the Inca Gold drink I had with it but both were fantastic. Inca Gold is sort of a cross between pineapple juice and cream soda, but better. I haven't had many drinks with more sugar though. My teeth hurt a bit after ward.
Corn pie is similar to Shepard's pie in that they both have a solid layer of mashed vegetable on top and meaty goodness hidden underneath. Unlike Shepard's pie (unless you're some type of heathen and put weird stuff in it) Corn pie has a corn topping, black olives, ground beef, pulled chicken, the biggest raisins I've ever seen and a hard boiled egg cut in two. It was really one of the nicest, least fussy meals I've ever had.
If you check out JE, do have an empanada but if you don't try something else on the menu you're doing yourself a disservice. I just felt that the other dishes on the menu were under represented and deserved a voice.
