Jennifer’s Cafe

“I often run by this spot, so I was happy to come back across this stand while wandering the streets of the village with my dog searching for food.”

“Their meat and cheese empanadas is my favorite, but I even love their Cuban sandwich even more.”

“They're not made to order, but they were dropping a fresh batch in the fryer while I was there and the ones I had were obviously just made.”

  1. Stopped by here last night on a drunken whim. My friends and I were looking for cheese empanadas AND we found them! I had always passed this place, but had never stopped by because it always seemed to be closed, but i guess I found the secret–go late at night! I think we stopped by around 11:00pm?

    The cheese empanadas were decent. Not the best I've ever had, but again, it was late and they probably weren't fresh and from the day. Still, they get perks for being open that late! I would definitely want to stop by again to try some of their other foods, as I live in the area, but until then…just remember, it's cash only!

  2. Great little cheapie pit stop for a chicken and cheese boricua empanadilla for a buck fifty. It was a tasty treat – eons better than Julia's empanada.

  3. Yummilicious empanadas!

    They have weird hours that a lot of times it's not open when I happen to be there!

  4. Jennifer Cafe is just across of where I live and I often pass by to grab an Empenada for Breakfast. Each Empenada ranges but I usually grab the cheese filling to fix my fried dough cravings.

    Each Empenada is diff in pricing but the one I get is 2$… Yes 2$ so cheap and great quick eats.  Its not the best Empenada but  I give it 4 stars because of price, convenience and also the workers are on top of it. Super quick and ready to serve customers.

  5. Cheap and there is a lot of cheese. 1.75 for cheese empanada. Hours are 630 to 6ish weekdays. Sounds like hours are guidelines but dependent on weather.
