Casa De Empanadas — Restaurant in Kutztown

My office ordered an assortment of empanadas a few days ago to do a tasting, and they were enjoyed by all. I especially loved the breakfast empanada with egg, cheese and sausage. It reminded me of an elevated, much tastier version of the toaster pastries I used to eat when I was a kid. Nostalgia always wins! The meatball parm empanada was also very tasty, and so was the chicken and yellow rice platter.

But looking at the menu, I noticed the dessert empanadas, which work did not order. Dessert is always my downfall! I decided to treat myself at the end of the week and ordered one of each. The caramel apple was as delicious as I expected, but it was also surprisingly light and I scarfed it down very quickly. The chocolate chip brownie was understandably heavier--it's basically a brownie in a fried casing--but not as heavy as I anticipated.

5 Stars – A small town gem with heartfelt service!

My son came home from college recently, and all he wanted was empanadas and Spanish rice—a taste of home he’d been missing. We had a special occasion to celebrate, so I reached out to Casa De Empanadas to inquire about their catering menu.

Casa De Empanadas isn’t just about great food—they showed me it’s about people who care. I can’t recommend...

I HATE HAVING TO COMPLAIN, BUT THIS IS A STRAIGHT UP DISGRACE TO REAL PUERTO RICAN FOOD!!!!! I was just here today & as soon as I got my food & saw the yellow rice I KNEW it was boxed rice!! The seafood empanada had imitation crab with shrimp & cheese… weird combination!!! The yuca alcapurria was different too; had corned beef inside. I should have known better from the moment I stepped foot inside & saw it was a “Puerto Rican” restaurant calling EMPANADILLAS/PASTELILLOS EMPANADAS!!!!! I spoke to the owner in Spanish & he kept replying in English. To whoever who is looking for real & authentic Puerto Rican food pleaseeeee don’t even bother with this place. (NOT INTENDED TO BE HARSH...
