This little eatery has a huge variety of empanadas to satiate any palate - not just your usual beef or cheese that you usually get at most Latin eateries. Everything from Empanada Reggaeton (caribbean style roast pork with sofrito seasoned yellow rice and grandules) to the Polish Empanada with sausage and sauerkraut. This place epitomizes fusion cuisine with American Empanada stuffed with hot dog and American cheese or how about a Beef and Broccoli Teriyaki Empanada?

In addition there are soups, salads arepas and unique tapas like cassave (yuca) stuffed with beef and pork. And traditional Latin meals served with rice and beans like Pollo Guisado and Chuleta Epanizada.

All natural cooking - no trans fats and the empanadas are all made with whole wheat or corn flour. $2.50 for most of the empanadas - the most expensive is the Viagra, stuffed with a seafood stew. These empanadas are truly stuffed - For $5.00 you can have a delicious lunch and be full until dinnertime. They deliver, so the next time you want to eat in for lunch, I highly recommend Empanada Mama.

• A lot of bang for your buck
• Delicious Fusion Cuisine
• Natural Cooking

Empanada Mama is a hit in my book!!

This is my first restaurant recommendation of this bl0g. As I find good places to eat, I will be letting you know. Please try this restaurant and I appreciate any feedback. Thanks

I had lunch today at a Vietnamese restaurant that you all must try. It is so inexpensive and so delicious. For under $5, you can get huge bowls of rice noodle soup. They have about 25 different varieties with different meats and veg. I had the one with curry chicken. The soup was a spicy curry broth with chicken, potatoes, scallion and cilantro.I also ordered a side order of pork meatballs, which I could not finish because I was so stuffed at that point. If I had know the soup was going to be such a huge portion, I would not have ordered the meatballs.They also have a large number of vegetarian options, so this is a great option for vegetarians.

The place is called Pho Tu Do, at 119 Bowery
