The empanadas are absolutely incredible β€” flaky, golden, and stuffed with the most flavorful filling. The mac and cheese? I've been dreaming about it ever since. This place is a hidden gem in Erie!

Came in on a Friday night and the energy was amazing. The $10 weekend combo is unbeatable β€” two empanadas and a side for that price? You cannot beat it. The chipotle chicken is my absolute favorite.

The warmth you feel when you walk in is something special. Everyone is so welcoming, the food is fresh and full of flavor, and the desserts β€” the tres leches is everything. A true gem. Come hungry!

As someone of Puerto Rican descent, I was skeptical. But Empanissah's is the REAL deal. The flavors taste exactly like my abuela's cooking. The empanadas have that perfect crispy shell with seasoned filling. So impressed.

I ordered catering for our office event and everyone was blown away. Ten people, all from different backgrounds, all agreed: the empanadas were the best thing they've ever had at an office lunch. Empanissah's is special.

The strawberry cheesecake empanada changed my life. I'm not joking. It's the most creative thing I've had all year. The owner was working the counter, smiled at everyone, made the whole room feel like family. I'll be back weekly.

Brought my whole family β€” 3 kids included β€” and everyone left stuffed and happy. The potato balls were a massive hit with the kids. Prices are incredibly fair for the portion size and quality. We'll be regulars for sure.

I'm a food blogger and Empanissah's is one of the most exciting restaurants to open in Erie in years. The chef's story, the flavors, the warmth β€” it all comes through in every single dish. The mac & cheese deserves its own review.

Late-night spot that actually serves real food at 12AM on a Thursday? Yes please. The empanadas are perfect after a long night out β€” crispy, satisfying, and affordable. Empanissah's is filling a gap Erie needed. Don't sleep on this place.
