Empanada Mama's 9th Avenue food-scene guide advises putting your name in and walking the block, reflecting how the tiny space reliably makes diners wait for a table.

Corroborating restaurant coverage notes the restaurant 'is always jam packed with waits for tables at lunch and dinner time' and that it does not take reservations, so parties are commonly quoted waits of ten minutes or more even in off-peak hours like mid-afternoon.
