Cordobesas

The place is small but very clean and the staff is cordial and efficient. I had a Spicy Chicken empinada. The filling was ample, very tasty and NOT overwhelmingly spicy. I found the doughy cover, though properly baked, was begging for a sauce of some kind. Next time I'll ask the staff about the availability of sauces.

The best empanada we have had. The crust is unbelievably thin and yet it supports the huge amount of filling that is so good. We had lunch and breakfast the following morning so we could taste all the flavors. We returned the following week to purchase a dozen to take home with us to the westcoast (TSA inspector’s mouth was watering). It travelled well and reheats beautifully. Kudos to Savana, she was excellent in explaining everything to us. A little gem in Newark.

Best BAKED empanadas that are FULL to the edges. The owner is a nutritionist who goes out of her way to pack the best ingredients. These delicacies are slowly made one at a time, not buy some machine but by people who take time to do it right. I have never seen nor tasted store empanadas so good anywhere in the world. And you get what you pay for: GREAT EMPANADAS CORDOBESAS!

This is a delicious empanadas place. They have many varieties and each is stamped with initials for the flavor ("SC" for "Spicy Campesinas"). My favorite are the humita, the tango, and the spicy campesina. The service is quick and friendly, and they even have espresso! One of Newark's lunchtime gems!
