Oh how I love a small mom-and-pop shop. Nina's Cafe is a tiny cafe in Edgewater Place Center Plaza in Foster City with some really good empanadas. You'll want to order more after you finish yours.
I believe we ordered the beef, chicken, spicy chicken, spinach, and cheese empanadas. I think spicy chicken was our favorite. The dipping sauces are good too! We thought we'd have leftovers from ordering 5 empanadas, but no, only crumbs and some extra sauce left. :P
There is some limited indoor seating and also behind the cafe on the outside patio which overlooks the water. It's nice to enjoy the fresh air while waiting for your empanadas! It takes about 15 mins or so for them to cook the order.
Empanada Flavors:
Tip: On the Go Local Foster City site, there's currently a grand opening coupon where if you buy 3 empanadas, you can get 1 cheese empanada for free! Just mention the coupon when you're ordering. The cheese one was one of my faves too!
They have other breakfast and lunch items on their menu too. The chicken aioli and steak chimichurri sandwiches look good on Yelp!
There was a good amount of people there - either eating there or ordering for takeout. Seems like people hear about it through word-of-mouth from their neighbors. Happy to see this place doing well and with 4.9 stars on Yelp! I think they're also at the local farmers market too, and they recently opened up this physical location.
They do catering orders too, so I'll keep that in mind for the future. I'd love to order a tray of empanadas for a special event.
