Crema's Take

This Puerto Rican deli in Elizabeth is a genuine neighborhood gem where the empanadas are so legendary that customers keep coming back specifically for them, and the fresh, generously-sized versions justify the devoted following. Whether you're grabbing a quick café con leche and a breakfast sandwich on a Portuguese roll or settling in to soak up the vibrant music and warm service, Rankin St. Deli delivers the kind of authentic island flavors and friendly hospitality that make it feel less like a casual stop and more like a second home.

The empanadas are so delicious and bigger, it’s worth it for the price. Now it’s my favorite place to get my favorites empanadas in.

I got a cheesesteak and the beef empanadas and it was so fresh and delicious. The cheesesteak was better than the cheesesteak I had in Philly. The empanadas are really the best, I had to read the reviews first before getting them but definitely try the empanadas. They just taste so juicy and crunchy and bomb.

The place has such a vibe. The food is just delicious. I had a bacon egg and cheese and a chicken cutlet sandwich. We all have that sandwich spot. The one we like the bread at or the coffee or the way we get treated. This is my spot now. Customer service made you feel right at home. The vibe made you want to stay and relax for a little. Take some time and read this memo the owner has posted by the register. I should have taken a picture but the one line that stop out to me, If you need to vent do it because I will vent to you. I didn’t quote because I know is not just right but that just said so much to me about the place. I will be there again tomorrow. 🫡🇵🇷 Ps. Got a pic of the memo also another chicken cutlet
