Having lived in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood in New York, the thing I miss most after moving back home is a good, crispy, flaky empanada! Alas, after visiting the Empanada Company, my quest continues.
We went there on a Sunday evening. It's a tiny little place with limited outdoor seating...maybe 4 tables. We got 4 empanadas - chorizo, green apple and bacon, lobster and braised beef. The chorizo was bland and lacked seasoning; our least favourite one. The rest were ok...more like a pizza pocket than an empanada. The dough was pretty inconsistent. Very thick and doughy on some and thin and crispy on others. As far as satisfying my empanada craving...these didn't. I welcome any good empanada spot recommendations!
