The food at this spot inside the galleria 7 market is great! No fuzz easy to choose from the menu as they have a big screen with pictures and descriptions of tge items. The empanadas are amazingly fresh! Crispy, juicy and unique, tge rice and beans is very good too. I had the flan for the sweet spot and i think it’s the best i have had. You can tell it’s not geberic food. They brought the food to my table though it was self service. And their mango lemonade is perfectly refreshing to wash it all down.

I ordered dessert from here as I wanted to try and banana Nutella empanadas and they were horrible. They put them in the dryer and left them in there for over 10 minutes. They were overly fried and so hard. Very dark. There were no other customers waiting so they weren’t busy. Just careless.

I go here often because I work close by and because I love empanadas. The empanadas are always great and I love that they have options for vegetarians. My only complaint is the inconsistency with their vegan empanadas. The recipe always varies. I used to get one with lentils and mushrooms, now it have sweet potatoes and chickpeas. Please keep the current one with chickpeas. I really like it!

The restaurant is in a very high traffic food court, with numerous other restaurants to choose from. Peruvian food is in my top five favorites, however, I was a little disappointed with the overall quality of the food. The empanada was soggy and appeared to have been warmed up. Definitely not fresh. Ordered the rotisserie chicken with rice, beans and plantains. The chicken was tough on the outside and dry on the inside. The plantains were good, the beans were good, and the rice just OK. Excellent sauces! The chimichurri and white sauce they have was the best thing that I ate. I would have definitely given everything a higher review, Had the food been cooked to order/fresh. The empanada by far was the most disappointing thing I ordered.

I visited this place with a few friends yesterday. The service was great. Very attentive. It was clean and neat. The food came out fast. The empanadas were good, but I don’t recommend the spicy chorizos because it is more potato than meat and it wasn’t spicy. I recommend the beef one which is full of meat and very tasty. They have a broad menu of Latin food to choose from. I will come back some other day to try some other dishes and update my review.

The service is excellent, especially from the young man who came directly from Bolivia. And what can I say about their empanadas! They’re delicious, truly exquisite. They cook with a homemade flavor that’s delightful, and their sauces… oh my goodness, a delight! Don’t miss their arepas and lunch specials. It’s a restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Love the Galleria, love the diversity. Viva Empanadas is one of my favorites. The empanadas are delicious. I got the combo, 3 empanadas… chorizo, beef, and a chicken, couldn’t pick a favorite because they’re all so good!!! The cilantro sauce is soooo delicious. You won’t be disappointed.

Viva Empanadas has the most delicious gluten free empanadas served with a salad and rice & beans. Their fresh made sauces are so good especially their chimichurri sauce made with parsley, cilantro and ️ for just the right amount of heat to balance out the herbaceous flavors. Definitely try their food and celebrate life.

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!

The food was not edible. I waited 40 minutes , I thought we were getting fresh food ,so i didnt complain about the wait . We got hard, dry old food. The empanadas were the worst I ever had. The tostones were so overcooked, it was impossible to eat. The chicken was so dry and old, you couldn’t chew it.
