Delia’s Empanada Cafe

This place has been on my list for a whole, and I'm glad I made the plunge. Empanadas were flavorful, crispy, and hot. The sauce on the side was a perfect complement. And those sweet plantains? Yummmm Local-owned business by someone who grew up in Trenton (need more of those!). Clean, friendly vibe. Will return! (I got the chicken and beef classic empanadas)

Delia's Empanada Cafe is a beautifully renovated Puerto Rican restaurant in downtown Trenton. This restaurant is located directly next to the restaurant "The Big Easy." Be aware there is no signage outside indictating the name of the restaurant at this time. They are open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4 pm. If you are looking for a wheelchair accessible option, there is one small step up to get into the restaurant but the bathroom appears accessible. The menu features a variety of items including breakfast and dessert options. Make no mistake, their empanadas are the star. We ordered 5 different types of empanadas, a shrimp mofongo dish, and 2 drinks. Our order totaled $39.00. For the amount and quality of food, I felt this was a great deal. The empanadas were large and filled generously. T

Omg when I walked in the smell hit me right away and I knew I was gonna love it! Everything was delicious. I got the Puerto Rico Platter and 1 alcupurria with sauce. I will be back for more!❤😋😋🔥💯 I've also been here several times since making this review!

Positives: -the chicken empanadas were delicious, but it was the meat inside that tasted amazing, the dough was lackluster -the empanadas look pretty -the desert empanadas were delicious and not many places can accomplish this Negatives: -overall, the empanada dough tasted a bit undercooked and chalky. Wished it was fried a little bit longer because I needed a glass of water to get through it -beef empanadas were dry -tostones were limp I think this place has a lot of potential and hopefully, the next time I visit it’ll be better!

If the City of Trenton has an award ceremony for the best-flavored restaurant, where do I place my vote? First of all, when my coworker and I walked into Delia empanadas cafe, we where immediately HIT with the vibe, music, and compassion of the Latin culture. The establishment is clean and eccentric! I also love the fact that I can see the chefs cooking and dancing; enjoying what they do. As a vegetarian always breaking my neck trying to find a place to cater to my taste buds, I think I finally found my spot. One word...Victoria😘
