Craving empanadas? You're in luck: a new business has opened its doors in the neighborhood. The newcomer to Williamsburg, called Masa Empanadas, is located at 804 Grand St.
Opened by the team behind Brooklyn Italian restaurants Belli Osteria and Piccoli Trattoria, the new empanada shop offers a dozen varieties of the stuffed Latin American staple. Stop in for empanadas filled with beef, chicken, ham and sausage, or for veggie-friendly options like the corn empanadas with bechamel and the caprese-style empanadas with smoked mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto. Apple cinnamon and banana Nutella dessert empanadas are available as well.
Masa's empanadas can be purchased individually or in combos of three, six or 12 pieces. The shop also offers personal pizzas and salads.
The fresh addition has already attracted fans thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of 11 reviews on Yelp.
Melissa M., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Nov. 17, wrote, "Love these empanadas! I had a roasted chicken and an apple cinnamon empanada. My partner had the mushroom one. I really enjoyed the chicken one. Had the perfect flavor and the crust had great consistency. Reasonably priced too!"
Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. Masa Empanadas is open from 11 a.m.–10 p.m. daily.
