Madeline's Empanaderia

Where to Eat in New Haven’s East Rock Neighborhood | Eater Boston

"Madeline’s is the delicious result of two successful food truck owners opening a physical location. Located on Middletown Avenue where East Rock abuts the Cedar Hill and Fair Haven neighborhoods, the restaurant both exalts and expands upon traditional Caribbean flavors. In addition to empanadas — like the savory ropa vieja, stuffed with braised sirloin and Cuban rice, and the Sweet Thang, filled with sweet potato cheesecake — don’t miss the pernil canapes, whose crisp tostones are piled with flavorful roast pork, pico, and cheese." - Stasia Brewczynski
