About Us

Born and raised in NYC from an Ecuadorian and Puerto Rican household, we missed some of the foods we grew up eating. So we are sharing our homemade traditions with the world! Our style is a combination of adding something new to the traditional recipes we grew up on.

We are always trying something new, so check back often. TEJ is the "sister" affiliate of Empanadas & Coffee based in Union City, NJ. We are also veteran owned.

My family ordered for delivery we had the Half Dozen Mixed Box, The Texas Box, and The Brunch Box. My palette was finally at peace after searching for this exact flavors for a couple of years.This was a most delectable meal. There was no empanada, or tostón left uneaten! Everything arrived warm and you could tell the care that was taken in the presentation. Thank you Empanada Joint!
