The Empanada Times is in my town of Lincoln Park, and I have been wanting to try it for a long time now. However, I recently had the chance to, and let me tell you, it was worth the visit! The food here is incredible, and very flavorful, and completely worth it.
Of course, I ordered a few of their empanadas and got 'Beef & Potato,' 'Beef & Plantain,' and 'Chipotle Chicken.' The 'Beef & Potato' had beef and mashed potatoes, which was very appetizing, and I enjoyed this empanada a lot, and honestly, a little more than I thought, lol. This was my favorite one out of all three. The 'Beef & Plantain' had beef, sweet plantains, and mozzarella cheese. It was excellent and had a great balance between being sweet from the plantains and savory from the beef and cheese. The 'Chipotle Chicken' had chicken, cheese, and chili adobo sauce. This empanada was really delicious and had a great chipotle flavor to it.
The outer shell was very golden and crispy, and was to die for! The filling in all three empanadas was filling, to say the least.
Besides the empanadas, I also ate their 'Cuban Sandwich,' which had shredded roast pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on a pressed Cuban roll. This tasted how a true 'Cuban Sandwich' would and felt really authentic. Every bite of the sandwich was phenomenal, and I would definitely get this again.
At The Empanada Times, customers can order anything from their empanadas, tacos, sides, and a whole lot more. Pickup and delivery are both offered here.
