Very good food, friendly staff, restaurant is very clean and serve nice portions. They play pop music from the past ~15 years (it works) in the event you are seeking latin music.
I can’t say enough good things about viva empanada, the food is incredible. It’s handmade for you and the flavors are truly unique. The staff was very courteous and kind. will go back and recommend to all our friends

Such a great and cozy place! I loved it! The empanadas were fresh and very delicious. The drink that I had (passion fruit margarita) was amazing! Thank you, we will be back.

The very best empanadas we've ever had. Chill atmosphere and authentic flavor. The pork was so tender and delicious. They also have a great wine list. A must-visit for every trip to

The worst dining experience of my life. We waited two hours to get cold empanadas the entrees never came so we left it was a total disaster and was only half full. Do not go there.

I made a reservation for tonight at 5:30, my husband and I had tickets to a 7:30 show at the Palace. I was going to make a 6PM reservation, but I saw prior reviews that the service was slow so I went with 5:30. We got there at 5:21 and were seated immediately. I would say the restaurant was about half full when we got there. The service is SLOW. I should have probably made 4:30 or 5PM reservations. The front of house was just chaotic. There was one waitress taking all of the orders for the restaurant and the bar area. We sat for about 40 min before we got our drinks and our food came out about 20 min or so afterwards. The food was fantastic and worth the wait but my god, they need some more structure to the front of house.
My empandas and mojito were delcious! Service was outstanding and love the atmosphere. I will be back for sure. I wish I remembered the name of our waiter, she was great. We had lunch there today and sat in a corner table by the windows, so nice.

Excellent food! It was so hard to choose something on the menu because it all sounded good.

This was such a great find. Atmosphere and food were authentic. We were a party of 11 and everyone said that their dish was delicious. The owner was so proud to serve her mother’s recipes.
