Empanadas Monumental — Restaurant in New York

I just went there and asked for some empanadas, freshly fried. The lady says "They just came out right now, they're always freshly fried." Meanwhile she was the only person working in sight, there were two customers in front of me, and I'm pretty sure I was waiting for over 5 minutes.

The Yaroas were incredibly dry and completely lacked flavor. The meat was tough, and the sauce—if you could even call it that—was practically nonexistent. It felt like they just slapped together some bland ingredients and called it a day. For the amount of time I had to wait, I expected something much better. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone; it was a waste of both my...
