Late-Night Baked Empanadas on the Lower East Side
Grab baked empanadas on the Lower East Side, from lobster to guava with cheese, until 5 AM on Friday and Saturday.
🥟 Lobster, Guava and Steak Frites
Empanadas on the Lower East Side get a lighter treatment at Felix Empanadas, where everything is baked rather than fried for a crisp, flaky crust. The cozy Argentinian counter at 192 Orchard Street fills them with beef and chicken, then branches out to lobster and to guava with cheese for a sweeter bite.
For a larger meal, the steak and frites plate runs 18 dollars, and reviewers praise the generous portion and included side as standout value. Takeout is available, and the service is friendly.
Late hours are the other draw. The counter opens Monday through Wednesday from 4 PM to half past one AM, Thursday from 4 PM to half past two AM, and Friday from 4 PM until 5 AM. Saturday runs from noon to 5 AM, and Sunday from noon to midnight.
