“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!“

“Absolutely amazing dining experience. The owner was very friendly and pleasant to speak with. The food was absolutely delicious- the arroz chaufa, empanadas, lomo saltado, flan, and chicha morada were all TOP tier. If you are questioning whether or not to visit, do not hesitate!“

“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!“

“We truly enjoyed every drop. Gone in 60 seconds!! 😋“

“Ordered 5 tacos, very yummy. Just don't understand why it asks what sauce you want per taco to then completely ignore it, CONSTANTLY. If you don't want to give the sauce just don't offer it, sending other sauces instead, which weren't wanted, end up being thrown in the trash.“

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

“I called this morning at 6am to inquire how long it would take them to make 3 dozen empanadas, for a work event, they said ten mi utes! They saved my day. The empanadas were a hit at work! They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“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.“

“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!“

My favorite is the dulce de leche with peach delicious and not to sweet. The pastries are also very good. For a quick bite this is a great stop.“

“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.

Vegetarian options: Cheese all day! Plenty of options for vegetarians.

Kid-friendliness: Some of the nicest people in the world run this store. They are friendly and what kid DOESN’T like empanadas????!!!!!“

“As a fat man and a traveler, I've had pastries from all over the world. And these are as good as Ive had anywhere. And the eggs were cooked perfectly on my sandwich. And no one ever cooks eggs perfectly. 5 Stars!“

“Best after hour spot.. ��� delicious food“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“
