    Description
    We’ve seen this trend develop for a while now: Chefs spotlight one food and spin out every variation their imaginations can muster (Rice to Riches and Rickshaw Dumpling Bar are also examples). Javier Garcia follows suit with this Hell’s Kitchen empanada shop, which joins the three others he has opened in Queens. You’ll find 40 varieties of the main attraction, with fillings that range from basic (plain cheese) to ultracreative (cheese steak, pepperoni pizza). Kids ask for the Elvis: peanut butter and banana stuffed into a warm, flaky pocket.
