Gluten free empanadas? Say less! We were wandering through the San Ramon farmers market when we spotted Crazy Empanadas, and the long line instantly felt like a good sign. We grabbed their 3 for $14 deal and went with one veggie, one beef, and one chicken. Our order came out quickly, complete with a couple of hot sauces. The first thing we noticed was how hot and fresh everything was. We didn't realize all their empanadas come with potatoes mixed in with the protein, it was delicious! The beef was hands down our favorite, super juicy and packed with flavor and every empanada had that perfect crunchy outer shell. We will definitely be back for our empanada fix! read more

Very fast service. Empanadas were hot and crispy. I didn't look too many of the sauces provided though. Overall a decent food truck! read more

I was working at the Dublin Police Services Trunk or Treat event at Emerald Glen Park when the hunger pangs hit. I walked over to where there were three food vendors set up. Two of the lines were long and one was practically non-existent. My general rule of thumb is that if there is no one waiting, there might be a very good reason. However, I couldn't stay away from our display long enough to wait for the two busy vendors to get my order out. Fortunately, sometimes looks can be deceiving. The service was fast and friendly. The Empanadas are cooked to order so there is a short wait. The pricing was $5.50 for one and there was a special of 3 for $14. I got one Chicken Empanada. It was hot out of the fryer. The exterior was crispy and delicious. The filling was a bit too well ground for me. I would have preferred something more to chew on. But the pastry itself made the meal for me. Service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely like to try some other flavors. read more

This was my first experience with Colombian empanadas and I have to say, if you haven't had it yet, you need to! I found this food truck an at Off The Grid event and decided to order three of their empanadas. They were all stuffed full of meat and potatoes (who doesn't love that?) The order came with small containers of different dipping sauces, some spicy and some sweet. I was actually surprised to find that I was really fond of the sweet sauce paired with the savory empanada! The cilantro mayo dip also paired really well with the empanadas! read more

I got to try Crazy Empanadas at the Sazon Latin Food Festival (apologies for my delayed review) and I ordered the lechon arepa. It came with sizeable chunks of avocado, as well as a lot of corn (I think probably the canned kind, based on texture). I liked the lechon itself and the cheese, but I am not sure how I feel about the overall flavor profile with the other ingredients. Maybe it would've been better to go for the empanadas, but I had wanted to eat the arepas since it's a Columbian specialty. read more

Got to try crazy empanada on Sat. They are primarily based out in. Livermore but they made an appearance at Niles Fremont Farmers Market. Service was good. Staff was friendly and deep fried the empanadas fresh. Ordered 2 chicken, 1 beef and 1 Hawaiian empanada. Both chicken and beef are served with a shredded meat/potato filling and it's seasoned well. The sauce it comes with is also delicious. The Hawaiian is a cheese, ham and pineapple filling and it was on the sweet side. A nice surprise. Would definitely like to get these again! read more

A gluten free empanada??? What?!? I was very skeptical but loved everything that I ate. The empanada was made with a corn flour dough and it was very good and filling. The prices were good too. I got a mean with plantain dish and it was odd looking, I didn't expect a full plantain, but it was mighty tasty. My husband tasted my food and decided to get the empanadas. We got two flavors - the beef and the chicken and both were very good. The salsa that came with them was good too. One red and one green. Usually, one outshines the other but this time, both were equally good. The woman working the window was super nice and welcoming. I know I will be back when I see them and not have to worry about not having something to eat. I can not wait! read more

Found this food truck at the Sazon Latin Food Festival in SJ this past weekend. Got the 3 empanadas for $14 deal, and tried the chicken, beef, and cheese. The cheese was my fave, keeping it simple. The beef and chicken ones came with potatoes inside, and though I'm not a big fan of shredded meat, they had decent flavor. Not too fond of the yellow corn dough either, but it was cooked to a nice light crisp which I liked. Service was standard, and the wait was reasonable, less than 10 minutes... And the next day, I saw this food truck at the Scottish Highland Games in Pleasanton, with a long line of customers, so even though they weren't exactly crazy good IMO, apparently they're popular. read more

Came across Crazy Empanada at G&M Farms. Something different from usually burgers, sandwiches, and burritos. They feature three main options: empanada, patacon and arepas. Never had patacon before so got patacon antiqueno (fried pork belly) to share with dear hubby. Mashed green plantain mixed with pork, beans, and more overlaid on a plantain "shell". Comes with three sauces, a white, red and green. Pretty tasty overall. Bonus they offer many gluten free options. read more

Would not get the Beef Empanada again as it was mainly potato and very little beef if any... Loaded fries was decent, but I thought the cheese was the nacho kind. I should have asked then I wouldn't have bought it. Also, the house sauce taste like ketchup and mayo basically.. I got this because I saw someone eating it and it looked so good. I probably wouldn't crave or return. But, glad I tried them since I kept seeing their truck around the markets I go to. read more

The vegan empanada is delicious and goes well with all the sauces. The portion size is generous. This is my 2nd time having their empanadas, and they are as delicious as ever! We weren't fans of the vegan arepa, it was quite small for the price charged and bland compared to the empanada. read more

Way too expensive for mediocre food. Cut your prices in half and you'll get twice as many customers. Trying to get rich quick just loses you potential customers. read more

There is always a long line to get your empanada. The empanada were delicious but it's a little salty for me. Otherwise , it's super good.

These Empanadas were just alright, nothing quite to write home about. The beef Empanada didn't have a ton of flavor or spice, pretty thick crust and lots of oil. Same with the Chicken Empanada as well. The Hawaiian empanada was the unique one of the bunch, lots of cheese, big pineapple and ham chunks making it a unique treat but I couldn't eat more than one. Reasonable prices, fries were thin and tasty, and it was a pretty quick turn around. Probably wouldn't seek this out again just your stereotypical empanada read more

We went all in! Colombian food truck at Fremont Street Eats. We ordered the arepa which is a bunch of good stuff including chicken & beef on fried plantains. Then we got the Patacon which had chicken, beef and pork belly all in salad format encased in a corn bowl. Delicious. The plantains we delicious. Of course we got some Empenadas. They were fried which is new. We were too full to eat them so we'll have them tomorrow. read more

Crazy Empanada - The truck - Food Trucks Near Me - San Ramon, California

They came to First Wednesday Street Fest in Walnut Creek this August. We tried the vegan empanadas. The empanadas were surprisingly bigger than I had thought I would be getting. They are fried rather than baked but still very delicious - had a potato/veggie filling. Although on the pricier side, getting three to split was pretty filling. Wait time was about 15-20 min and servers were friendly. Would like to try their fries next time. read more

"Crazy Empanada, Crazy Good!" I don't often see this food item, so was delighted to patronize this food truck at Three Sheets Beer in dublin. Empanada is a food found in colombia, not mexico. That's why you don't see a lot of them around here. I thought the price was most reasonable. It's larger than I thought, and very filling. The empanadas are quite a bit different than tacos. Much tastier as well. I ordered two chicken empanadas. It's like a big turnover with shredded chicken inside. Yes, it really is that good. I had a chance to talk with the young man who is the owner. The business has been in operation for about 4 years. It started right before covid! Fortunately, they were allowed to operate during covid. That's how they survived. So overall, a wonderful experience. Nice people, nice food. read more

You have not tried a Colombian empanada until you've tried crazy empanada. With the exception of the vegetarian option, I've tried all of the different varieties that this food truck offers, and I must say every one of them hit (my favorite being the beef). If you're not a fan of potatoes, you are not welcome to try this food truck. Their sauces are amazing, but my favorites are the white cream sauce and the green onion salsa. Do not skip those. Staff are very friendly and always are ready to be helpful with any questions that you have, including catering options which my family and I have done. :) Thank you, Sebastian!!! read more

I have seen the truck drive around throughout the area, and I was happy to finally catch them at the San Ramon Farmers Market. Everyone at the market had their fries, and they looked amazing. It is definitely an eye catcher. I was feeling ambitious that day, and I ordered the Crazy Fries. I believe that this is meant to feed 4 people, however I got it to myself. It is loaded with shredded chicken and beef with fried pork belly on top. They top it off with avocado and their homemade sauce. 10/10 dish. It can stretch you 3 meals if you really want to. I hope I can catch them again so I can order something smaller next time. read more

We have several food allergies and the lovely people in this food truck helped me find something to eat (the fries!) that was amazingly delicious AND was safe. My kids and I think the fries with sausage and pineapple sauce is one of the best things we have ever eaten from a food truck. I can't wait to see this truck again! I love the food- but the help with our allergy was priceless. Normally, we can't eat at food trucks- they're too busy to be able to tell us what's in their food (or they don't know.) If you have an allergy, these folks actually know what's in their food! Such a treat. read more

#5 Crazy Arepas $16 I thought was a lot, but then compare it to a large burger. Seems to be equal esp since this is 1 oz short of a LB. 98% meat, 1.75% maize, .25 fresh avo. Bacon was cubed and deep fried. Chicken and beef was stewed and shredded. The flavor in the meats is germane for the cuisine. No need for the 3 sauces. I did try the 3 but decided to leave it naked. Saw the loaded fries coming off the truck - gut busters for sure. Office peer got the chicken empanada. It was of decent size - 3 normal bites or two large chew like a hamster bites. It's the same chicken that was in my arepas. She said it was a 7/10 with it being on the doughy side. I think $5.50 for an unknown amount of protein could be holding people back, but what do I know. But that's why I don't buy tamales, unless I know. I would certainly eat here again. read more

Tried the crazy fries with no pork. I usually get the 3 empanadas and I have to say I'm not going back to empanadas (while delicious) the crazy fries are spectacular! The meat(s) are well seasoned, the fries compliments the dish, the avocado, cheese, and special sauce top it off just right! The portion size to the price is just right. I couldn't finish it all and could have shared with someone and both be full. This is for sure a go to! The entire service is great (believe it's locally family run) they recalled my friend getting a certain order last time and said it before she could even order it which was such a sweet touch. Can't wait to have them again! read more

Ordered 100 empanadas for an event (after sampling from their food truck). These are really good. Very tasty and the wrapper is crunchy. If you're lucky to have any leftover, very easy to heat up in an air fryer and equally as delicious! The workers are also very nice and friendly. Highly recommend and will order again!!! read more

I had Colombian food when I lived in Florida, but I don't remember it being like this. Perhaps there is a difference in Colombian street eats...not sure. This is a food Truck that hangs around the Livermore area, I'm not sure where else they venture. The Bright Yellow colors caught my eye and I decided to give it a try. They were parked right outside Altamont this particular day. ~ Patacon Antioqueño - 4/5 I'm still not sure what I just ate...lol. Not certain this dish tasted like the description. I wouldn't have known I ate Plantains, if it weren't for the description. Hearty, tasty, good flavor. There is a lot going on... ~ Crazy Arepa - 4/5 This is an odd one to me. The Fried pieces of Lechon were absolutely brilliant! However, I felt there was a bit too much going on... This thing is Hearty, Heavy, Overstuffed and has a bit too many flavors and textures going on for my taste. It's hard to eat, since it's overstuffed. It's still good, I just had to dice and separate it, before eating it. I'll definitely give the other dishes a try read more

OMG Crazy Empanada Truck at Concannon winery in Livermore for a wine pickup evening. So good!! I got the Crazy Fries and three beef empanadas. The fries were loaded with incredible fried Colombian pork belly, pulled pork, cheese. Packed with flavor and porky goodness. Pro tip, ask for the jalapeños on the fries. Empanadas we're parked with beef and potatoes. Total bill was $31 bucks. Awesome!! read more

Tried the empanadas for the 1st time at the Livermore Farmers Market on 2nd St. The Hawaiian with the crushed pineapple sauce on the size was just amazing. The skin was fluffy, light, and crispy. Nice about of cheese and thinly sliced ham. Loved it! Wish I ordered more than 1... Not pics this time as it started to rain and already close to closing so I ate it really fast. Next time... read more

This truck parked in front of shadow puppet brewery. My boyfriend ordered the cheese, beef, chicken, Hawaiian empanada, and the salchipapas with "sausage", cheese, quail egg, and pink homemade sauce. Out of all of them the one that had the most flavor was the beef... or their salsa. For some reason the chicken was mostly full of potato's so you could barely taste the flavors of the chicken. (I.E. not even sure how the chicken was seasoned or what was used to season it because the potato's were bland and overwhelming. My expectations from the Hawaiian empanadas were that the filling would have been evenly distributed however, all I tasted was cheese and one piece of pineapple. Later on, I found the ham but after numerous bites. There was 2 empanadas that we had were SUPER hard. Like an old person can loose their teeth off of... I've had plenty of empanadas before and they were never like this.. The one saving grace of this place was their salsa. It has a great balance of flavor, acidity, and heat. The salchipapas said it has sausage but it tasted like hot dog. The most items that was on here was the fries and cheese. read more

Crazy Empanada - Food Trucks Near Me - San Ramon, California

Was really craving arepa (I'm originally from Venezuela) so I was super excited to try this food truck! They were at the farmers market in Livermore on Sunday so I was able to try it. I ordered the crazy arepa Which has fried lechon (cross between bacon and chicharron), shredded beef, shredded chicken, cheese, and topped with avocado and 3 little sauces on the side. With tax this cost over $17. Arepa is considered a street food in Venezuelan so this was really pricey for a sandwich. It was also very stuffed and came in a small box so kinda hard to eat because you can't really pick it up like you are supposed to. Being that there was almost no place to sit it made eating it super challenging. All in all I would try this place again but I might stick to one of the more standard arepas that can be held. read more

I gave them 4 stars, because that's the closest to their current average. I didn't eat there. I researched the trucks at a local Off The Grid event, decided on Crazy Empanadas and chose items from the menu online, here on Yelp. Only 1 month old, so presumed current. Truck menu online shows empanadas, arepas, patacones, etc. Menu on the truck has perhaps 15% of the items, a very scaled down menu with only a few empanadas choices. I wanted arepas. So I walked away. I understand limiting menus for practical reasons on a truck. Can't be angry, which is why I gave 4 stars. But do something to manage expectations, post current menu online, or at least post a notice when offering a limited menu. read more

I saw this truck while visiting the Fremont Art, Music and Wine festival and wanted to give it a try because I saw they had Arepas which is something I haven't tried before. I ordered the Arepa lechoncita which comes with thick cut bacon, plantains, corn and avocado. While I liked the composition of the ingredients together, the bacon was HARD. Not like a nice crispy with some chew, it was straight up hard. At some point it kinda became annoying to chew. Maybe the bacon was left sitting out for a while or was over cooked, but the texture of the hard bacon didn't do it for me. Still, the flavors of everything else was pretty good in the arepa, but I might try something else if I see the truck again. read more

Crazy Empanada - 2. Arepa Lechoncita - Food Trucks Near Me - San Ramon, California

Got to try them from a local Street Eats event. They specialize in Colombian style empanadas and arepas. Since I've never had an arepa, that's where I had to go. Nice truck in a festive bright yellow with their logo. Arepa Antioquenita ($15/3.5*) So an Arepa is a South American street food that is similar to a Pupusa (El Salvador) or Sopes (Mexico). I say similar cuz the main base is a masa dough cake. Same corn flavor and texture as a fresh corn tortilla, just much thicker, thus more substantial. Not sure how other arepas are constructed, but this one, the corn cake is thick and flat, then rolled into a cone. Then they stuff this cone according to what you choose. Very interesting and unique presentation but was cooler in appearance than it was easy to eat. This particular arepa had Columbian style Bacon, Beans and Rice, Fried Plantains and Avocado. It wasn't listed but it also came with 3 sauces, which was cool but a bit overkill. Since I only had one item here, I'll break it down with a little more insight. The Corn Cake: Very nice. Quite soft but not as soft as pupusa dough. Quite thick made for nice meaty bites. Good corn/masa flavor too. Seemed like it was lightly grilled much like a tortilla or pupusa, but almost no brown blotches. I liked this part of the dish. The Rice and Beans: This was almost like one dish. The redish/purpleish small beans were mixed/mashed with the rice. So one scoop of this went inside the corn cake cone. Very bland but I think it is supposed to be that way, as everything else has good flavor. A good Hispanic base that I always find comforting. The Columbian Bacon: Basically just small diced pork belly pieces, well salted and deep fried. Like deep fried to almost chicharon status, so quite hard and a bit dry. I like chicharon but usually not as is. I usually like it rehydrated in some sauce or topped with some sauce or salsa to give it some moisture. I liked the flavor here, but it was just too hard/crispy that some pieces were like eating hard plastic. I just ate the ones that were softer. The Plantains: I usually love fried bananas and this sounded like a great add. But the plantains were a bit too sweet for me that it reminded me of a dessert. I usually just like the natural sweetness from the banana itself, this had an additional sweetener added to it. The Sauces: Came with a greenish mayo which was okay. A very onion-y tomato salsa that also had a decent heat. Also a bit sweet for a salsa, so maybe some ketchup was part of the equation. And this pureed pineapple sauce that was really unique, great wallop of sweet and tang, almost like a chutney. So pretty filling dish as the double carb of griddled corn cake and a scoop of rice and beans is a super hearty base. And even though I liked the presentation, I found that eating it as a cone proved quite difficult. So I just ate it with a fork still in it's container. That way I can get different things in one bite. I wouldn't mind in trying more things from this truck, if I ever do run into it again. For a modern food truck model, that is a win for them. read more

My work brought this truck for lunch and it was really good. Friendly service and great food. I would definitely recommend.

I tired Crazy Empanada at Newark Street Eats the other day and it was pretty good. We ordered #1, the Arepa Criollita and it was pretty good. The chicken and cheese alongside the bread was delicious and very flavorful. However, the price was a bit expensive being at $14.50 plus tax, especially for what you get. It's good and all, but pricey. The customer service was good, the guy taking orders was friendly. Would try them again! read more
