"When it comes to empanadas, there are two schools of thought. Keep them warm in a case after cooking, or cook them to order. If a restaurant asks you to twiddle your thumbs for a couple of minutes while your dough is frying (or baking), it's most likely worth the wait. The best example is this Colombian takeout spot in Corona, where the fresh-out-of-the-fryer empanadas are freakishly crisp and filled to the brim with things like spinach and ricotta, or perfectly seasoned shredded chicken. Empanadas Cafe has been around for over 20 years, and if you’re headed to a Mets game, it’s an ideal stop for snacks before you get to Citi Field." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, monica prestia
