Well, howdy y’all! If you ever find yourself wanderin’ ’round Albany, NY, and you get a hankerin’ for some downright delicious grub, you best mosey on over to Llama Empanada at 469 Delaware Ave. I reckon it’s a place you won’t soon forget.

Conveniently located near other local restaurants didn’t really like the taste or texture of the food courteous staff Covid glass up separate from dining area small selection of drinks They no longer sell smoothies cash or card. Hard to find parking if you drive. Sell aprons with vibrant colors and nice designs

Amazing authentic food made fresh. I’m not really a guacamole person but this place makes me a fan of theirs! I recommend the platter for those that may not be sure what they wish to try, you’ll definitely want to return and try more of everything…if there were more stars I’d add them as well!

I wish I could rate more than 5 stars, I love La Empanada Llamas empanadas! They’re always fresh and I enjoy trying different flavors and finding new favorites – they have so many to choose from! The staff is very generous every visit and the authenticity of the Peruvian flavors and atmosphere ties everything together. The best part for me is that they’re not stingy with the sides of cilantro dipping sauce like most places tend to be. I recommend grabbing a few empanadas if you’re in the area, they’re worth every penny spent!

The food is delicious and the staff is friendly! I had the chicken, mac and cheese, Nutella and banana empanadas along with yucca fries. Everything was very tasty and freshly made. The cilantro dipping sauce went very well with the savory empanadas!

The staff is nice. The food was not to my liking, but it may be to yours. It may be that I’m just not accustomed to the textures and flavors. I tried stewed chicken, rice, beans, and plantain. We also had roasted pork. It was just okay.

They serve some of the BEST empanadas in Albany! The chicken in the chicken empanadas is so tender. The cabbage and chorizo empanadas are fantastic. Don’t forget to grab some “green sauce” it pairs so perfectly! If you get a chance, try their rice and beans, too! Also, try to call ahead if you want to place an order.

Best empanadas in the county, interior is not too nice however the food and the atmosphere make up for it. Chicken empanadas are the best here. They also have a stand at the Delmar farmers market.

This place makes a unique experience that most other restaurants won’t give you. It’s a hole in the wall kind of place that serves great food that makes you feel like it was a home cooked meal. The food is reasonably priced for the kind of food that you get. If you look at the price for Peruvian food anywhere else, it’s 5-10$ more money. I ordered Ceviche, which is a very classic Peruvian dish with raw fish marinated in a lemon fish sauce. It tasted right. If you don’t like lemon or raw fish, then you won’t like it. The portion sizes are misleading because they look smaller than they actually are. Both my wife and I did not finish our plate. It’s very filling. You should know that the food definitely isn’t prepared by some kind of renowned chef, which you can tell, but it’s good nevertheless. The price is right! The empanada’s are delicious, and worth the trip to this restaurant alone. If you read other people’s reviews, everybody raves about the empanada’s. The customer service was excellent for us. Others apparently have had bad experiences. However, the lady who helped us had a big smile on her face, and served us very personally.
