Hell's Kitchen, also known as Clinton and Midtown West, is a
neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City between 34th Street and 59th
Street, from 8th Avenue to the Hudson River.... and right in between of 51st and 52nd st on 9th avenue there is a nice little spot called Empanada Mama not too be confused with Jackson Heights "Mama Empanadas" which by the way is also awesome. The empanadas are AMAZING! I love the variety. Only downside is the
space issue, there isn't a lot of space but it is cozy to a degree.in many occasions you do have to make a line or a wait period of atleast 20 minutes.It's an exciting hole in the wall place painted in bright green, red,
and yellow. It fits no more than 20 people, with a sliver of bar top
seating to keep the space lively or extremely cramped-- take your pick.
During the warmer months, they'll have a table or two out on the
sidewalk and fit another 2-4 people outside Ive been here about 4 or 5 times and on each occasion we had to wait. Their menu is awesome if you want a heavy meal or just looking to fill up the belly while you walk the NYC streets.
The food is great-- well priced and delicious. I usually go for the desayuno colombiano,reggaeton, and cheese empanadas. All are extremely flavorful
and go amazingly with the chimichurri sauce. The plantain chips with guacamole are
delicious, I don't know how else to describe it. They're crispy/crunchy
and go perfectly with the smooth and tangy flavor of the guacamole. And if the
empanadas aren't enough, they have a yummy entrana a la plancha grilled skirt steak marinated with traditional herbs and spices.
served with white or yellow rice, black or red beans, salad and
chimichurri sauce. The chimichurri sauce (the green one) goes
with everything and if your old enough to drink they always have sangria specials which are a must try. Besides being so small the place is great.
