"For very good, substantial empanadas in Flushing, look to this small, low-key restaurant near the Queens Botanic Garden. Best of all, the empanadas are only $2 each. The chicken and the beef fillings are both delicious, moist and flavorful, but their corn shells—which put up just the right amount of crunchy resistance—are our favorite part. We also appreciate that El Gustazo serves water in diner-style Anthora coffee cups, and that you can catch up on news when Noticias Caracol is playing on the TV mounted in the corner." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
