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

Great flavor and full Empanadas! I had the classic Cheeseburger, Rican Jerk, and Sizzling Sausage Empanadas and enjoyed all 3 and the sauces they came with. I also recommend the Cajun Yucca fries. The restaurant is located within a residential neighborhood, and can be easily missed. They have seating inside if you don't want to do a pick up order.

The venue is really cool, the empanadas are delicious (so many options!), and the mixology class was awesome. I will definitely be back 🥰

Soooo social media is pretty deceiving and apparently so our these reviews. The empanadas were fine. The dough was fine, not overly greasy but they can definitely use a lot more filling in them… As far as the restaurant it self. Looks a lot nicer online. Not the most comfortable seating arrangement. Not sure how long they’ve been open but definitely gives me open mic/poetry vibes. Which is fine, but it doesn’t give out restaurant vibes… I’m sure there’s a better way to execute both. You honestly can’t beat the price and the lady who greeted us was nice but not a place I would really recommend…

I ordered eight different flavors of empanada, and every single one was outstanding. My only complaint is that they were a little bit oily tasting on the outside, but the flavor on the inside makes up for that. I also received a little container of salsa, and it was literally the best salsa I've had at any restaurant in many years. Love Madeline's and will order again!

Just tried this place for the first time after seeing a New Haven Independent article highlighting it, and now I wish I knew that Madeline's has already been open for over a year now! My spouse and I got six different empananada flavor, which we found were all adventurous and complex. And the accompanying mayo-ketchup was the best we have had. Also appreciated the accommodating service! I called in for takeout with only a half hour before closing for the afternoon, and they squeezed my order in at the buzzer. I look forward to ordering out from here again!

This place is absolutely amazing. The owner and staff are exceedingly lovely. The food is so flavorful and delicious, I've made my way through their empanada menu and I'm yet to be disappointed. Each time I've gone to the new location, I can see it evolving and that they're really doing something special with the space and I'm definitely looking forward to checking out some of their events in the future. Oh! And we ordered catering for our works holiday party and it was a huge hit!

We held our content creation happy hour at Madeline’s. The atmosphere, the food, bevs and service are exactly what we needed. Professional. Positive. Thorough. We had a great experience working with the venue and will definitely book with them again.

Just tried this place for the first time today. Many different tasty empanadas, amazing sweet potato fries and fresh orange juice. Great music and atmosphere to hang and chill. Will recommend and come again!
