I had to stop by the hospital and wanted a quick bite and this place did not disappoint. They had all the classic empenadas you'd hope for plus a ton of ones you won't see anywhere else. I got a few different types and they were all delicious. The staff was very friendly and the service was very fast. Great pricing as well.

Let me tell you something..... everything they make is top of the line in quality from the lobster to the oxtail and even the simpler dishes like beef cheese yaroa every has this blast of flavor and juiciness you wont find with the regular spots. This place right here is a Bronx gem. The owner is also super professional and always making sure the food is up to par. I literally order from this place over 50 times in the last 4 years lmao try the ones I said and you won’t judge me lol.Kid-friendliness: Kids love he cakes burgers chicken cheese and corn is a hit too!

Atmosphere is nice and aromatic. Server was a lovely lady who was extremely friendly :) Empanadas are all made with love and care, so delicious and a great size!! Extremely flaky on the outside yet the inside is pastry like and the fillings are delicately prepared on the inside. Please check them out you won’t regret it <3

I’ve gotten empanadas from Craft about 5 times now and every experience has been exceptional. These are the best empanadas I’ve ever had. Each empanada is made fresh for you with fresh ingredients. If you decide to go traditional with a chicken and cheese or choose something more experimental like oxtail and cheese (amazing btw!!!) you will not be disappointed! Every ingredient is seasoned to perfection, and is perfectly balanced in the empanada. Anytime I’m on Gun Hill, I find myself stopping at Craft. My friends and I joke about how addictive they are but there’s some truth to it! I’ve also enjoy their juices, especially the passion fruit and their strawberry lemonade. They are very fresh and are delicious. And even better, the customer service is exceptional. This is a family owned business I believe, and every person I have encountered has been so kind and friendly. Every time I’m in there I strike up a conversation with someone and always leave in a better mood I came in with. I placed an order on door dash today, and I believe it was the owner who called to let me know that they didn’t have one of the empanadas I ordered available. He gave me the opportunity to substitute for another empanada, and gave me some dessert empanadas on the house. The service is truly above and beyond. I grew up in that neighborhood, literally on that block, so to see a newer business that is actually ran by the community and is for the community is absolutely wonderful, especially in a time where the Bronx is changing so fast. Their store front is on the smaller size, but they do have seating available. I prefer to either pickup and go, or have the food delivered through Grubhub or Door Dash since I live in the Westchester area. I really hope they will continue to thrive for as long as they desire. Craft will not disappoint you at all! Just know once you try them you will be hooked!Vegetarian options: The menu has a veggie category that include options that have vegetarian and possibly vegan options. I’m not sure of the empanada dough ingredients so I’m not entirely sure if they’re vegan friendly.

I decided to order some Craft empanadas from GrubHub, and was immediately impressed and overwhelmed by all the choices, but definitely in a good way! They have seafood empanadas (including lobster) vegetarian empanadas, dessert empanadas, along with the usual chicken and beef kinds.I ordered many different types to try a wide variety and also so I can freeze some as snacks/dinner/dessert...because they are perfect for any and every meal, lol!My absolute favorite (so far) is the Beef Yaroa (ground beef, cheese and sweet plantain--amazing!) The chicken Yaroa is also yummy! I still have some others left and look forward to eating them over the rest of the week, but I'll probably finish them a lot sooner than that, I think! LolI can't wait to order again and at the top of my list to try is the lobster, tres leche, Mac and cheese, and Philly cheese steak empanadas, althoughI'll definitely make room in my freezer for a lot more than that! lol

This is a neat lil spot. I had the beef, the cheeseburger, the lasagna and the chicken n cheese empanadas. They were really good, especially when you top them with that green or pink sauce. The guy and lady who work there provide excellent customer service. I highly recommend.

The empanadas are delicious sweet plantain and beef was amazing salty sweet crispy love. Good size empanadas for the price. Great customer service. They didn't have the oxtails so the cook gave me free dessert empanada and gave me the option to pick a new one. The empanada made to order not sitting under the lamps drying out. Just tried this place for the first time and I will be back.

I don't have anything bad to say about this place! Food is fresh and delicious. The family who own/work there are friendly, nice and helpful. I've been here 4-5 times in the last month and a half. Tried a few different empanadas and I'd say the Philly cheese steak and the taco beef are my favs! Didn't really try any of the more exotic ones. This is my go to spot whenever I'm in the area.

I love anything that's a fried carb and when it's a fresh fried carb, sign me up! They have so many options but I went with 4 different empanadas to try - the chicken cheese, maduro & cheese, spinach alfredo, and chicken pico de gallo. I liked all of them but I would say the pico inside gets messy and the empanada was dripping everywhere. They made everything fresh, except the chicken cheese, which they already had prepared. But it still was very crispy and tasted hot & fresh. I think they heated it up. The sauce that comes with the empanada is a sweet & sour sauce but I would've preferred a spicy sauce (my fault for not asking for it because I heard another customer ask for it). The service is quick too and there are a few small high tables to sit at. I want to try other flavors!
