I had two two empanadas that were delicious! They were tasty (both chicken) but also soft with just the amount of crunch on the crust. Will absolutely be coming again.

I just had the best empanada l've ever had in my entire life. I would post a picture of it, but I scoffed down after tasting it. Sabrina was absolutely the sweetest and recommended the spicy sauce with the brisket empanada which was AMAZING. Don't pass up on this place I promise it will wow you!

Nice product but at $7.14 🤑 per empanada this place will not last. It's a $5 item at best.

They ask you if you want sauce and then charge you for it. This place is a joke. My prediction, this place will be gone by Christmas.

I live nearby and know the area well.

Note to the owner: Consider adjusting your pricing to $5 per empanada and I guarantee you will busy with customers all day everyday considering the amount of people walking by.

There's barely any customers inside every time I pass by and they are likely throwing out 75% of what they produce.

Curious as to what will occupy this space once they inevitably close.

Delicious empanadas! I was first introduced to Criollas when I passed by their Hell's Kitchen location one night and fell in love. When they opened their West Village location I just knew that I had to do a catering order for one of our staff meetings. I'm so glad I did- they were a HUGE HIT. My colleagues have been asking me where I got them and if we can get them again in the future! Thank you for making your empanadas with care.

I walked in to place an order and was in the middle of asking about the empanadas when someone else walked in and asked the employee about a specific flavor. To my shock, the employee completely ignored me and started taking the other person’s order—cutting me off mid-sentence. Absolutely unacceptable. Terrible service and zero respect for customers. I won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
