La casa de la Empanada Columbiana

Nice and cozy spot for empanadas near Storm King. Dropped by on a hungry Saturday afternoon after visiting Storm King which is just a few minutes away. They have a simple and short menu and we got a bunch of empanadas - veg, chicken, and beef - amongst us. After a long wait - they apparently make them from scratch - we quickly got to work when we got the order. Golden colored with a thick, doughy outer shell, the empanadas were hot and tasty and came with a creamy white sauce which was quite good. With a visit if you're in the area but go brace yourself for a longish wait.

So I bought these on the go. Ran in, placed an order and 15 min later it was ready. Overall, very pleased with the flavor though it was a little salty...plus the empanadas I ordered were pretty nicely stuffed! However through the delectable bites... i didn't see any chopped onions, peppers, cilantro or anything else to give it that visual flavor pop 😔. No salsa on the side either... Was I supposed to ask for it? IDK.... but I'll come back and hopefully they dump a cup of scallions in my to- go box because they read this too!

OMG! The best empanadas and arepas around! Totally authentic. The staff is wonderful and friendly. I can't stop going and the prices are great! 💛💙♥️ The juices are just as good!! I hope they are around for a long time!

This hidden gem or hole in the wall restaurant provides the most delectable Latino food in NY. The rice & beans and chicharon delicious, also the empanadas. They are original like our grandparents made them. Not with the modern dough and process foods but with true corn and vegetables. You need to go to this place. It is esthetically clean and the family run mom and pops shop will make you so welcomed.

New Windsor Hidden GEM - First-time Customer - Now I'm a raving fan! You've never had Empanadas like these. Highly recommend the veg and cheese! Order ahead because it does take a bit of time but that's because they are MADE FRESH! What more could you ask for!
