Very fast service. Empanadas were hot and crispy. I didn't look too many of the sauces provided though. Overall a decent food truck!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
Got 2 chicken empanadas. Found the truck finally at the San Ramon The LOT City Center Farmer's Market on Saturday. They are great and tasty. Took a bit to make, but well worth it. Many people were ordering from the truck.
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.
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
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.
"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.
Huge empanadas! My work hired the truck to come onsite for a work event and it was such a hit. We got to try the chicken, beef, and veggie empanada. They are quick and get your food to you nice and hot! The empanadas are super crispy and the filing is flavorful and good! Their fries are also super good and crispy!
I thought I would get half the portion of what I received. Needless to say, this was absolutely delicious!

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
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

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

Black Friday shopping just got better with the amazing Empanadas. It was fresh and super yummy. Totally hit the spot!! Got two beef and 1 chicken for $10. Sebastian (the owner) was super friendly, joked around and that's what I call a service with a smile. read more
This review is for the food truck, which was one of the dinner options during back to school night last week. There were three trucks - one had a huge line because they offered lots of vegan and vegetarian options, another had almost no one in line, which is not a good sign in my book. So I went and stood in the third - Crazy Empanada food truck - line. Glancing at the menu as I waited, I decided to order an arepa for myself, as I had never had one, and the description on the side of the truck sounded intriguing. Approaching the window, I asked the person taking our orders what type of arepa I should order. He suggested the Lechoncita Arepa ($11) - Colombian -style bacon, sweet corn and plantains - and I went with his recommendation. I also ordered four beef empanadas for the wife and kids ($3 each). The arepa started out promising. The plantains were warm and soft, and the sweet corn fresh. Then I had a bite of the arepa itself. It was dry and crunchy, but not in a good way. But it wasn't as bad as the bacon inside - super-dry, flavorless, and hard. I could barely eat it even after drenching it in the sauces they provided. Never again! What saved this review from being lower than 3 stars were the beef empanadas. The family could not finish theirs and I was still hungry, so I bit into one - delicious! Flavorful tender beef, veggies spiced just right, the level of "fry" perfect. I wished I had ordered this instead of the arepa! Looking forward to trying other Crazy Empanadas, like the chicken empanada, at their Livermore location or at a food truck in the future. But I'm staying away from their overpriced, inedible arepas! read more
I love empanadas. Saw this truck sitting on the corner and you guessed it. Made a pit stop and HAD to give them a try. They are called Crazy Empanadas after all. I tried their chicken and beef empanadas. Both are shredded with potatoes. Fresh made to order. Came out piping hot. Love the crunch. I will have to say both are delicious but the beef one is my favorite. They give you three sauces to choose from: spicy, pineapple, and garlic cilantro. The pineapple sauce is very sweet, the spicy has a nice kick. I ended up mixing the garlic with the spicy one This truck is located on the corner of E. Stanley Blvd and Murrieta Blvd. At the Shell gas station. I was here a little before noon and there was plenty of space. Bring your own chairs or order to go. There are no spaces to sit. Only standing room in front of the truck. read more

Crazy Empanada food truck makes delicious and authentic Colombian food! I spotted them parked in Livermore and pulled my car up right behind them like the creep that I am. The truck seems to be run by a mother/daughter team and they were very sweet. I ordered a beef arepa and a chicken empanada. Both were hearty and flavorful. Stalk their social media and give them a try! read more

Ordered their beef and chicken empanadas but as seen in the picture it has more potatoes then chicken. Their fillings are bland. Unlike regular empanadas their dough was supper hard to bite into, like a very thick deep fried tortilla. They were not flaky at all. The salsas are decent but not good enough to come back. read more

OMG after today's meal I have to leave a review. First of all, this is a very unique food truck in the Bay Area. They sell Colombian street food and let me tell you, it's very authentic! The food is absolutely delicious. Everything is so tasty and fresh. The arepas are very good (I usually ask them to add some of their homemade sauce because is very yummy and it make the arepas 100 times better). Empanadas are a must. I finally tried the "crazy fries" and the chicken patacona -both are TO DIE FOR (I asked them to add homemade sauce to both because I'm obsessed with it). Make sure you try the pineapple, green and the red sauce (side). They complement the flavors of the dishes very well. Satisfaction level: 14/10! read more

A friend of mines told me about this spot. Been here a few times since this Colombian food truck sells some pretty good items. I usually get the Patacon Antioquenio or flat plantain with meat plant and rice beans also I've gotten the Empanadas and had a Arepa with meant cheese and Avacado. The staff is nice and the food will fill you up. read more
Excellent! First time here. Crazy Empanada was recommended by a friend and doesn't disappoint. 4 empanadas (2 chicken, 2 beef) and 1 patacona antioqueno $20. Patacona is definitely filling and tastes great. I'll share the empanadas later with the family. read more

The patacan was tasty with interesting sauces. Minus one star because the fried plantain was harder than my dinner plate. Maybe this is the traditional way but I feel fortunate I didn't crack any teeth eating it. I think next time I'll just eat the meat off the top. read more

A friend told me a Colombian food truck would be at the SF outlets today, and having always wondered about why I could not find any Colombian Food Trucks in this area, I had to check it out. I ordered the Patacon Antioqueño, and for drink a Guanavana en Leche (Soursop with milk) juice. Both were really tasty. Highly recommended for anyone into Colombian food. They have empanadas to, which ill be trying next time. read more
