I've ordered food from here several times. All I can say is, WOW, they're pumping out some great food. Highly recommend the Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken or the Cubano.

Best Latin food I ever had! I had the half rotisserie chicken and the Cuban empanada and it was out of this word! Also, when I arrived the food needed another 5-10 mins and they offered me a drink for good customer service, but didn’t take it as it was well worth the wait.

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.

Yea it’s in a food court. Yea there are about 5 other places to eat. Yea it may be cheaper to get a slice or a burger. But you want some real home cooking , Latin style … Viva Empanada is the spot! I hade an empanada made from Yuca for the crust. I had beans , rice , sweet plantains.. all AMAZING!! Tostones were a meal within themselves. Ropa Vieja was home style cookin you can’t find in a food court anywhere around here. Mango lemonade, not too sweet, not syrupy , just natural goodness. Now look I spent $50 bills on lunch for my wife and I , but I’m goin back for more soon… real soon ! So should you .
These guys have THE BEST empanadas hands down! They're FAR superior to Empanada Llama, and I'm saying that as someone who was under the impression that they were the best.

Hands down best Latina American food in the area drove 25 mins to come and try it and all I can say is delicious!!! , highly recommend the 1/2 chicken with as many sides as you can get lol ?. Will definitely be back soon.
I can't say enough wonderful things about this delicious find! My fiancé and I where in the area and ordered from this amazing place, we tried the ropa vieja, chicken, spinach and chorizo empanadas that came with a tasty salad and NOT overly sweetened mango lemonade. Not only was this a great deal, the empanadas where fantastic. The owner is lovely and super friendly, even has the most lovely necklaces and colorful jewelry on the display! Will definitely be returning when we are in the area again. LOVED this place.

It’s actually been about a year since I last ate at Viva Empanadas. A coworker of mine and I had stopped in last summer for something quick and tasty. Let me just say, the empanadas were absolutely delicious and made with love. This is a family owned/ran business and it shows. The owners are so kind and professional. They went out of their way to make my coworker and I feel taken care of. As a Latina woman originally from NYC, upstate can often be lacking in flavor…no offense…but viva empanadas makes me feel like I’m back home with my family enjoying delicious Spanish cuisine. It’s truly a great place to eat and relax. Great environment too. Just ordered some off of Uber eats for my hubby and I. Can’t wait to dive back into this delicious food. Don’t let my review alone convince you. Stop in!! (picture from last year.)

Great empanadas, took me back to when my grandmother used to make them all the time. The classic 4 cheese was near perfect. The chimichurri sauce was terrific.

They make it fresh when you order thats why it takes a while to get it. I only ordered the colombianita but it is yummy served with light green sauce. i wish they serve it with fresh sauce rather than blended one. This is located inside Galleria 7 Market.

We had 2 empanadas plater（d'verde, chicken, Cuban beef, spinach, one more flavor I forgot what it was), Peruvian chicken. Delicious. Huge portion for 3 people.
