| - A friend of mine recommended this place after I experience my first Chillean Emapanda at the Crossroads Farmer's Market. They told me about Empanda Queen in the Marlborough area and since I'm from the NE, I decided to check em out.
Pizza Roma is gone and now it is full fledge Chilean Deli. There are 2 tables you can sit at and enjoy your empanadas, but from the time I was there, a lot of traffic was pick up. The great thing is that they always advise to call before you pick up b/c they actually make the deep fried ones to order. It takes 5 mins to cook but if you are going to order a dozen or more. It will take longer. That was OK b/c it's worth the wait.
This review is just on empanadas as those were the only things I tried!
I shared a Ground Beef Empanada with my sister and she got lucky and had the egg and I got the olive :( I don't like olives lol. These can be baked or fried. I had the baked ones which are made daily and is just heat and serve in their oven. Not microwaved. That was awesome!
Filling was: Ground beef, onions, a slice of egg, olive and raisin.
The whole reason I went there was for: Cheese Empanadas and Cheese and Shrimp Empanadas. Ohhhhhhhh so yummy. It's like mozza sticks but way better as it is enclosed in a crispy fried patry. Now, because of gravity and melted cheese, it does tend to sink to bottom but that just gives it enough room for you to add Pebre!!!!
Don't forget the Pebre!! A must - Chilean Salsa - some are spicy, some are not but this is what I think is in Pebre.... onions, cilantro, tomatoes, garlic, and other herbs n spices.
All in all I went home with a dozen cheese ($16) and a dozen cheese and shrimp ($18)
I've already eaten 5 :)
