Viva Empanadas

The food is absolutely amazing here! I tried the D’verde, Colombianita, and spicy chorizo empanadas, as well as an arepa with their shredded beef. OUT OF THIS WORLD! The empanada crusts were so crispy and the fillings were juicy and melty. The flavors were so good and worked so well with the salsas - spicy, chipotle, and avocado cilantro. The mango-pineapple lemonade served as an excellent refresher in between bites! AND the customer service was just as good as the food!

I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in the area!

So so sooooo delicious! Friendly service and gluten free options. The empanadas and ropa vieja are our favorites. The sangria is also very good.

I tried the empanadas D’Verde on Memorial Day and they were amazing. The empanadas were crunchy, tasty and filled with cheese they were served with three sauces: spicy salsa, creamy chipotle and avocado cilantro. I liked all of them specially the avocado cilantro and chipotle.
The service was really on point Veronica was really nice and explained me all the menu.
I can not wait to go back and tried the other dishes when I am in Albany.
Edit.
I was visiting Albany for the weekend and I could not resist to visit once again Viva empanadas.
The visit was worth it they have expanded the menu and there are so many options to eat. I loved the rotisserie chicken and the arepa both dishes were amazing and very tasty.
I tried the mushroom empanada and it was delicious.
The visit was worth it and Veronica was very kind and patient explaining all the menu.

Oh. My. Word. What a wonderful first experience at Viva Empanadas. We tried 3 types and each was amazing- crisp, perfectly filled, bold flavors. I couldn’t pick a favorite if you asked! We ordered churros but they were out- someone called and was SUPER friendly, offered us several other options and we were totally satisfied. The price was more than fair, the food was excellent- we’ll be back!

Extremely happy with all the delicious choices Viva Empanas had to offer! Baby approved! Gluten free options, and vegetarian options too!!! Be it a treat, lunch, dinner, you will be satisfied :)
Everything was made to order and very flavorful, amazing service by owner and staff, everything perfectly on point! Highly recommend this latin spot, made my day :)
