Where to find empanadas

[rumorsofsurf]

After watching an old episode of Bobby Flay's Throwdown, I'm craving empanadas... any suggestions on where to find them in philly or the western suburbs? I'm sure there are great ones at spots like Amada... but ideally I'd love something more casual, along the lines of Ruben's Empanadas in NYC or Julia's Empanadas in DC.

The restaurant 943 in the Italian Market serves empanadas.

Thank you for the recommendations! Haven't heard of either spot, but they're both on the list now! I do wish we had more of the bakery style spot where they have cases of empanadas for $5 or less. As it stands, I buy them a dozen at a time from Ruben's in NYC every time we head up there.

Try Bochi's in Quakertown. Their empanadas are to die for!

Really, I didn't know that - and I work nearby. Haven't been there in a long time. Gonna have to make a trip over lunch. Can you eat them there?

I'm pretty sure there are some tables (or a counter along the wall?) at the back of the market.
