Modest Argentinian restaurant fixing up homemade empanadas, soups & cookies, plus coffee.
From Google Maps reviews.
I had 2 beef and a corn empanada. They tasted great and were filled. While they are delicious, they are still a pricey. I liked the corn one more, since its different from the meat ones I usually eat. When I'm near there again I'm going to try the other flavors. They have 2 small tables for a few people to sit.
For years I’m getting my empanadas at Criollas Columbus Circle and they never disappointing me. To me they are the best of NYC!! 😋 And my favorite employee is Jeff!! 😃
Delicious argentine empanadas! Worth to try such a hidden gem. They are very fresh and made with love. The quality of their food is top.
