Lyla's Bodega

3 large empanadas for $6. That’s typically the price for 1 empanada right now in New York City (March 2024) and it would not necessarily be large or generously filled empanada at that. Lyla’s empanadas are large and filled to normal/average amount. They’re served warm, and there’s 3 different sauces you can freely choose from at no added cost. There are 3 flavors of empanadas : beef, chicken and cheese. All very good and the cheese one to me was the best. This is an excellent UWS deal and great option for an affordable good-value-for-money afternoon snack .

Good food

Favorite empanadas!

Nice people and very good food

Found this place by chance and thought it was the perfect balance of bodega and Dominican and Puerto Rican takeout. The food is obviously made with a lot of love because it is so delicious. Rare gem on the UWS. Not really a place to dine in but perfect for takeout. Affordable prices on food and drinks.

Great prices and greater food and service! I would come back here.

Amazing home cooked food. Cheap prices (free soda with meal) & the ladies are so nice. Love it here

Delicious food with great people.
