Empanada Nirvana Montgomery NY

I've wanted to try this place for a while and I'm glad I finally had the chance to. I wasn't able to try everything that I wanted to but I grabbed what I felt would be the most important item they sell, which is of course an empanada. I tried their beef, beef with cheese, and grabbed some maduro balls. The beef empanada was good, a bit greasier than I had hoped but thankfully there were napkins in the bag. I felt it could have been a bit more full but when is enough ever enough? The beef and cheese was good also (my favorite of the two). The shells were crispy and flaky. The filling was seasoned well (I was hoping there would be some manzanillas chopped up but no luck). The maduro balls were interesting and I'm a fan. I think I liked these more than the empanadas honestly. Very interesti

Amazing empanadas. I also had the hashtag breakfast with the best Yuka fries I've ever eaten. The (presumably) owner was very nice and gave our dog a free pup cup.

We went in for the first time tonight after years of saying we wanted to. We were greeted warmly. We were given lots of gluten free options by the owner as well as free yummy soup! We also purchased a daily special meal in their pay it forward program to provide a free meal to someone in need. The fact they help the community in such a way is unbelievable. My husband and i loved the vibe of peace, love, and inclusion. We got 3 different empanads for him and i got the loaded tacos which were gluten free. The flavors....wow... just so good. We haven't had flavors this good in a long time. The fact the food was amazing, the atmosphere was welcoming, and they help the community in a great way i cannot recommend this business enough. Run don't walk!! Thanks so much Empanada Nirvana!

Absolutely disgusted and disappointed!! Today a coworker and I stopped in for food ,as we were leaving we seen roaches crawl out from behind a painting.. When we return to the job and inform our other coworkers about the roaches ,that's when I find out roaches have always been a problem for them! And more!! Other coworkers begin to show me shared videos of roaches crawling on the freezers of nirvana, on the crock pots with food in them and on the cutting boards! Then my manager shows me a video she recorded of what appears to be the owner pumping septic waste from the septic tank to a covert on barea rd..it's terrifying to think what he does when customers aren't around if he does this when a customer is sitting in her car watching him...my family and I have ordered food from empanada nir

I told my wife, this is a “groovy” place. Love the combination of Puerto Rican, U.S and Mexican food blend. Their breakfast is delicious. Hard roll sandwiches, platanitos, tacos, and empanadas. A must try. I love the heart and mission of this business. Update: had the chorizo Mac empanadas, Avocado Boat and my wife is not hungry with additional yuca fries. Review stands
