What isn’t there to love about empanadas? They are the perfect fast food — deep fried, self-enclosed, and portable, they can be filled with just about anything. Combine this with a friendly fast food storefront, and late night hours, you’ve got the makings of the next great quick-serve restaurant concept — or at least I think so. Raul’s Empanadas in Morristown should definitely be on your A-list of late night snacky stops.

Please don’t eat me! Wouldn’t you rather have a hot dog?
I’m sure the bright and shiny interior is far more appreciated at 3am than 3PM.
Partial Menu
Raul’s fills and deep fries at least 20 varieties of empanadas to order, filled with all sorts of combinations of beef, pork, ham, sausage, chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and starches and different spices, including Latino (Cuban, Mexican, Argentine, Columbian, Puerto Rican, Spanish) and unconventional (Cheesesteak, Asian, Italian, etc.) flavors. For example the Puerto Rican is a take on Arroz con Gandules (Ham with Pidgeon Peas and Rice) and the Cuban has all the components of a Cuban Sandwich — chopped ham, roast pork, pickles, melted swiss cheese. I was particulary fond of the “5 sausage with lime” and the “Inferno” empanadas (3 chiles with beef). They’ve even got dessert empanadas, such as the “Adam’s Apple” and Guava Jelly with Cream Cheese.

I love eating at Raul’s it’s just an experience in its self. I especially love the Paradise, it has shrimp, chicken, and vegetables: who could resist that combination. They have even helped a club from the high school that I’m in by selling us some empanadas to sell in our bake sale which was a success! I highly recommend this place to everyone!!!

We live about 3 minutes drive away from Raul’s, and we get the craving at least twice a month. The inferno and 5 sausages are my favorite. Great food and staff, definitely give them a try if you’re in the area!

The place looks great but, again, for the second week in a row, I was not invited to partake in Empanada Day.
