Titi's Empanadas - Williamsburg — Restaurant in New York

I appreciate how much of an homage this restaurant pays to latinidad and NYC. The whole menu is a reflection of what Southside Williamsburg/Los Sures is. So many options to choose from. I enjoyed the chicken mole and the pabellon empanadas. The corn and platano maduro dough is far superior to the pastry dough. The texture and crunch is more satisfying. I also tried the chop cheese and oxtail empanadas. I expected these would be my favorite but was underwhelmed. The chop cheese just felt like a dry ground beef empanada. The oxtail lacked seasoning and the meat was shredded so finely that you wouldn’t necessarily know whether or not this was oxtail or another cut of meat. Which wouldn’t be the biggest problem if it weren’t the most expensive empanada on the menu. The morrir sonando was a lil lack luster? They just poured evaporated milk into a a pouch of passion fruit juice. Maybe would be bettered if it was already well mixed or if they mixed it for you and poured it over a cup with ice. Also missing some spices like vanilla, which I associate with a good more sonando. The service was relatively good. They definitely make a lot of the empanadas for you on the spot. The staff is friendly. Decent customer service. The atmosphere is quaint. It’s a small space, definitely a grab and go kind of place. But when it’s not busy you can appreciate sitting by the counter and admiring the decor. All and all, this place is worth a visit and trying for yourself. They have a large menu so honestly I feel you can have a different...

TL;DR Their empanadas were AMAZING!! We've been back twice in two days and are going in again tomorrow for more. Amazing place, great attitude and unbelievable prices!

Let me begin by saying we LOVE empanadas. However, getting good vegetarian empanadas is not always an option. We discovered empanadas in Crown Heights when our daughter introduced us to them. In Boston during the pandemic there was only one empanada place that served any vegetarian options and they shut down 🥲. So when my wife and I walked by Titi's entirely accidentally we decided to take a chance to check 'em out. And boy where we glad we did.

The first thing that struck us were how friendly the staff was. We were tickled to see they have both spinach and cheese, as well as potato empanadas. Another choice they had was black bean. we ordered two of each of the potato and spinach ones. Whilst waiting to be served our hot empanadas, we saw they even had a vegan offering.

The crust was amazing, the spinach and cheese divine. The potatoes were good too, but we were eager to try the other ones. The next day we got more of the spinach and cheese, plus the vegan ones; the owner threw in a black bean as a sample (great!) and tomorrow we are going to try the corn. I'd recommend running to this place and getting some...

Titi’s Empanadas in Williamsburg is a delightful little gem that’s worth a visit, especially if you're an empanada enthusiast! I recently had the pleasure of trying three of their offerings: the oxtail, chopped cheese, and pollo empanadas.

Let’s start with the oxtail—wow! The richness of the meat combined with the flaky crust was heavenly. It had a comforting, hearty vibe that made my taste buds dance. Next up was the chopped cheese; this one felt like a fun twist on a classic favorite, with just the right amount of gooey cheese and savory beef. Last but not least, the pollo empanada delivered a tasty chicken filling that was both juicy and satisfying.

While I thoroughly enjoyed each empanada, I felt they could use just a tad more flavor to elevate them from great to unforgettable. A pinch more seasoning or a zesty sauce could really take these treats to the next level.

Overall, Titi’s Empanadas is a must-try spot for anyone in Williamsburg craving a delicious snack. With a warm atmosphere and friendly service, it's an experience that’s sure to put a smile on your face, even if the flavor just needed a little extra kick! 4...
