replying to u/Forking_Shirtballs: Love empanada mama, didn't know they kept late hours. Remedy's never done it for me, tho I can say that about pretty much every diner I've tried in NYC (why every diner here seems to be, like, two notches below your basic Waffle House in the south is beyond me). Don't know why I haven't tried Essex Taqueria yet, that one goes on the list. Thanks!
