Roy and Kathy Pelaez own and run Island Empanada. They have two lovely daughters who are extremely involved in the company. Roy spent more than 20 years in the bar and restaurant industry before joini…
Food is delicious as always from this establishment. My only gripe is they forgot to pack my green sauce that I paid extra for. But the 3 Empanadas, Rice & Beans, Sweet Plantains & Fountain Drink (16 Oz.) is a really awesome deal.

Usually tastes good, today does NOT taste good at all. Green sauce is more watery than flavorful and no spice, rice tastes like school lunch rice, barely any flavor, empanadas have barely any taste. I guess today was just not the right day to order from them.

We usually love island empanada, this time everything was dry and hardly edible. We wasted more than we ate. We had rice and beans, empanadas and plantains. I'm not sure if Medford changed chefs recently but very disappointing.

Food is good but they didn't label it so me and my guest have no idea which order is which. Also, I have paid for sauce which was not received and this has happened on more than one occasion. Other than that, food is delicious.
