“An absolute must-visit for steak lovers in NYC! The moment you walk into Palermo Argentinian Bistro, the cozy, rustic atmosphere sets the perfect mood. We started with the beef empanadas, which were fried to a flawless, shatteringly crisp golden brown. For the main event, the skirt steak was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with authentic Argentine flavor—especially when paired with their vibrant chimichurri. Service was fast and welcoming, and the wine selection perfectly complemented the meal. Don't sleep on the flan with dulce de leche for dessert. I will absolutely be back!“

“I absolutely love this place. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, their food is incredible and there’s something for the whole family. I go very often when the work week gets crazy and there isn’t time to cook. Everything at Claudy’s is exceptional and taste better than a home cooked meal. I usually do take out family meal with a whole chicken and two sides. They have truly the most flavorful chicken, incredible chaufa, and I always get the yucca fries on the side. Their Aji empanadas are my go to and I love getting an 8 oz homemade green sauce. I cannot recommend enough!“

“DELICIOUS! Tender, flakey crust, moist and flavorful stuffing!! best ever.“

“I enjoy tasting empanadas from all types of places. Empanada Mama is by far the best of any place I’ve ever tasted!! The portions were stunning, the food was full of flavor, the menu is large, and the dessert empanadas are just as amazing as the savory ones! Definitely some comfort food right here ❤️ Amazing delivery as well“

“Thanks the empanadas are the best“

“Excellent place!!! Everything is top- notch!!! Highly recommended!“

“The food here is really good!!!

I unfortunately came on a Friday night (avoid Friday nights eating in, just order out) and they were very short staffed. My waiter was friendly but I asked for a on the rocks margarita and got frozen, I asked for tap water, never got it and i never received utensils. The music was incredibly loud. But it’s nyc on a Friday night.

The Good: The woman in the back was a BOSS!!! running everything! She was so sweet and handled everyone with care. It seemed she was also responsible for the online orders which looked overwhelming.

The green salsa sauce was amazing and soooo good! Don’t change the recipe!

The food again was delicious. Really large portions. Take it easy or go ham!

Next time I would just order out.“

“Just bought empanadas and rice at the Pearl River farmers market. So delicious!“

Thank you for a yummy meal to end our time in NYC.“

“Food was amazing and such a home like atmosphere. Some of the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced. Cliffside park has a gem with this place. Please come visit and I HIGHLY recommend the chimi. Prices are great especially cause of inflation but the quality is insane, food is so good they let us sample so many things. I wish you guys could smell how good it smells in here too. PLEASE TRY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IT WAS FIRE LOL.“

“Best bakery ever. Best Cuban sandwich in town, and everything else. The pasteleros, the café con leche , the ham croquettes every top quality.“

“Ordered 225 small empanadas from them. Everybody was raving about them. Very very good. Filled with meat and the cheese. One were filled with cheese and the chicken ones were filled with chicken. Can't go wrong with this place to order empanadas, the ground beef ones had a lot of flavor“

“Listen, I’ve visited New York about three times now, and every single trip I make it a priority to stop at this bodega. I first discovered it during a tour on my very first visit, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

They sell a variety of things, but let me be clear—the empanadas are the star of the show. Oh. My. Gosh. They are packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and BIG. You can literally get full off just one.

If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and try their empanadas. I have to warn you though: once you taste one from this spot, you’ll never be satisfied with an empanada from anywhere else. You’ll only crave theirs.

Highly recommend!“

“Awesome fries and Cuban sandwich. Good selection of empanadas. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious Bakery items: Pan de Guaba, Pan de Chocolate, Pan de Guaba sliced and Cheese Bread and Empanadas. Beef empanadas are excellent, light and crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. Breads are delicious, perfect taste to dunk your coffee in. They are a restaurant too, they have great selections. Go here for your tasty bakery items. There are more bakery selections too… so so Good!!“

“This place is GREAT!!! Decided to attend their Valentine’s Day brunch with karaoke and it was not only a great time but the food was absolutely delicious !! The owner and staff were very sweet and made my friends and I feel very good with the attentiveness. The staff was also very enthusiastic and cheered us on as we sang! They even joined in on the fun with us (our request) ! The cafe is very clean and I truly give everything a 10/10! Wishing great success to this place and I will definitely be returning!“

“We ordered a tres leches cake from here to celebrate Argentina during the World Cup, and it was the perfect choice! The cake was super moist, fresh, and absolutely delicious. It made our celebration even more special. If you're looking for an amazing tres leches cake, I highly recommend Argentina Bakery. We'll definitely be ordering again!“

“NO JOKE! The best empanada I've ever had!!!Its golden, flaky pastry shell was perfectly crisp. The filling itself was chock’full of seasoned meats, onions, and a hint of spice. Every bite was a burst of savory goodness, making it a memorable and must-try treat for anyone seeking an exceptional empanada.

“The restaurant was very neat, tidy and clean. The food is delivered in less than 10 minutes. The service was very friendly and personable. The supervisor was very accommodating to the new hire and to the customers as well. I ordered a chimichanga with extra spice. It hit the spot. I would come out to Bronx again.9/10

Vegetarian options: They can substitute and beans for any meat.“

“Small spot, not a lot of seating. The woman at the counter not the most welcoming but nice enough. The coconut flan was absolutely delicious ($5). Not too sweet. Very creamy. My mom is a flan snob since she makes it herself, and she loved it!“

“This is the best smoothie place hands down. You need to get your smoothie done by a girl, not a guy. Preferably the chunky girl.They make it perfect. Not too liquidated, just perfect frothy texture. Anytime I cheat on this place I’m like why did I do it? And they make the beeestttt empanadas. Not too oily , just perfectly cooked. I love this place. And thank god I don’t live near because I would easily weigh 600 pounds.“

“Great place to eat - we need to support our mom and pop restaurants!“

“The sweetest, most caring employees. Always make sure nobody feels rushed while also making sure everyone’s orders get out in a timely manner. Food is authentic - great lunch deals for when you’re in a rush but want a complete meal. It’s open 24hrs hence at times it’s a little slower bc there is less staff but overall, always a pleasure doing business with them ?✨??“

“Excelente bakery y buen ambiente“

“Absolutely love this spot! The empanadas, smoothies, and food are all incredibly delicious—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can really taste the difference. The prices are fair and definitely worth your bucks. They recently got new owners, and they’re doing a fantastic job. The lady who’s always there is so kind and welcoming—it feels like you’re being served by family. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“

“After a long day at Yankee Stadium, my son and I were feeling pretty hungry and decided to explore the area. We stumbled upon this restaurant quite by chance. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, which made us feel comfortable right away.

My son was especially ravenous, and he ate every single bite of his meal—something he rarely does! He kept telling me how delicious his food was, which really made me happy. Overall, it was a great find after a busy day, and we left feeling satisfied and happy.

I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good meal nearby. We’ll be returning next time we’re in the area!“
