Juan Maria's Empanada Stop - Rochester

I am extremely picky when it comes to eating out. I also don't want to spend too much eating what I like. A friendly atmosphere with friendly staff is a must for me. This place has it all!! The staff is super friendly and helpful. I wasn't sure what exactly to eat when I arrived. I heard so many good things about this place. The staff helped guide me and helped me choose precisely what I wanted. They have various specials. When you buy various Empanadas they do better deals. This is exactly what i wanted. More bang for your buck. Staff was outstanding and they helped me choose all the different Empanadas flavors. They have the best selection in town. They have about 10 various options. They are also Vegan friendly with some items. I also decided to try what they call a combination platter. I had the rice. Beans and chicken but they also have pork, I believe. That combination platter included one free Empanada. AMAZING! It was so delicious. They also had many different options in terms if drinks. They have a delicious coffee hot or cold as well as many Spanish drinks. I've heard so many good things about this place I had to try it for myself. And I'm glad I did...this was outstanding. I would recommend this place to anyone. I will be going back to try their wide selection of Empanadas soon ? if you've never been here but wanted to try it. Make sure to do so and bring some friends. We had a great time dancing to their Spanish music. They had a very long line but went by very quickly. The staff was super fast. I only waited in line for about 3 minutes.

Very good empanadas that are seasoned well and flavorful. Friendly staff and good vibes. Sauces are so good too.

Thank you again everyone for the breakfast empanadas. They were really delicious and it was my first time ever trying them. Great people with great food always there to help on those early mornings.Can't wait to come back!Love from Toronto, Ontario

Good food. Tables are sticky, staff is super friendly.

Love the veggie empanadas! best part of the public market! so delicious ? Vegetarian options: there's a few vegetarian options, tho not as many vegan options as most of the options have cheese. but there is one vegan option; the veggie empanada. and it is sooo delicious ?
