Description
Opened in 2020, Criollas centers its lineup on Argentinian empanadas that are always baked, never fried. The menu pairs fillings like seasoned beef and sweet corn with soups, cookies, and coffee. Space inside is minimal, offering just two small tables for sitting down, but takeaway orders arrive in foil-lined bags that keep everything warm for the ride home. It sits at a slightly higher price point for counter service, balancing quick preparation with generous, fresh fillings.
