    Veronica taking great care of my order. Thank you!!!

    Amazing feeling to bring my Buenos Aires 40th birthday come to my present, which explains why I'm so thrilled! This trip back to my New York City brings back the Past, but this time My past explains this feeling. Over 15 years ago, with the wonder to discover the world, I traveled alone to visit my darling friend Danielito (famous Argentinian stylist) and He introduced me to your delicious food. These empanadas brought a huge smile as Veronica with a beautiful attitude share the feeling of getting to feel your own taste buds. I @horaciostyles declare Exquisite level of service, food and quality at a very affordable place. And by the way, I couldn't find this gem of a place on Google so writing this review on yelp, You, the food and pastry chefs and founders get my biggest congratulations to make my memories come back full of Magic and DElight!!!! Delicious and Amazing alfajores. I forgot to mention smiley Jorge delivering fresh empanadas. Thank you!!! @horaciostyles

    I checked in and checked out the Blackbird before I stepped into the Cafe there were no foods I want so I ended up didn't buy anything from this place. But they took advantage of the customer. They used my Blackbird account that I checked in and paid for someone else bill. I called them and told them about it. They didn't respond and hung up the phone on purpose. I called again and again and Noone picked up the phone

    Amazing empanadas! The outside is perfectly crisp and flaky, while the fillings are juicy and delicious. The beef one was excellent but the bbq chicken was probably the best empanada I've had in my short empanada career. Don't forget to ask for chimmichurri sauce on the side!

    Service with a smile and pleasant ambiance, though I got my order to go. I ordered three empanadas which came out to $20.36! Another Empanada place up the road was selling one empanada for around $4.50 and I honestly enjoyed their Empanadas much better. I liked that they made their crusts different to highlight the differences in their empanada and all are baked for a healthier meal. I probably like their beef the best and the spinach the least. In fact, I only ate about half of it. She offered two sauces and I opted for the spicy sauce though I wasn't aware that they charged for the small container of sauce. Would I go back? Probably not but you should try it for yourself and see. You may love it.

    Empanadas are absolutely delicious! Beef is my go to. The ham and cheese is good too. The desserts are what i look forward to most!

    Lovely above ground spot not far from the original in Columbus circle. Delicious argentinian malbec beef empanada that tasted fresh, savory, and wholesome ingredients. Alfador was crumbly, creamy and great little treat

    This place was amazing! The empanadas were fresh and delicious. The staff was great and answered every question with a smile. This small but adorable storefront was cozy and decorated beautifully. Definitely worth a trip.

    I enjoyed the charming ambiance of Criollas empanadas, and the customer service was excellent, the lady that took our order at the register was so sweet and attentive. Unfortunately, the empanadas did not align with my taste preferences, and they were super overpriced - $18.00 for 3 empanadas and a water. I was really looking forward to the ham and cheese since it is my favorite, but this one wasn't good (imo) and also since they had already been baked prior they weren't hot, mostly warm. Would have been nice to get a fresh batch, overall cute place :)

    Love, love, love Empanada Mama!!! Anytime I'm in the area, I stop by for my go-to empanadas: Bombay…read more& Viagra. The restaurant is open 24 hours and is the perfect place to go for those late-night cravings. One can sit at the full bar, in the dining area, or get items to go. The restaurant is always lively and patrons get seated quickly. The most I have ever waited for a seat is 5 minutes. There are more than 40 empanadas in corn or wheat shells to order. The menu celebrates diversity through its' empanada pairings. Greek - spinach pie, Cuban - ham, pork, and cheese, Americana - cheeseburger, Bombay - Curried chicken, Brasil - traditional ground beef, Hawaiian - ham, pineapple & mozzarella cheese and many more. Besides empanadas, there is a full menu of Colombian delights to eat including arepas, salads, sandwiches, soups, tacos and tapas. They have dessert empanadas as well. Love the USA empanada, which is apples & cinnamon baked and the Nutella & banana one. You can get it topped with ice cream as well. Really looking forward to my next visit.

    For a quick night bite this place is fantastic. So many…read moredifferent types of empanadas to enjoy. Toro and Bourbon chicken were great. The only one I didn't like was the Romero and Juliet. It was too a big chunk of fried cheese with the jam. But overall would go anytime I get that late night food craving
