My review on TripAdvisor:
The front of Lyla’s Bodega at 177 West 83rd Street
When I was walking the upper streets of the Upper West Side to update my blog on the neighborhood, I came across Lyla’s Bodega. It was near the local school and the kids were coming in for their lunch special of the Empanadas and a drink. I was starved and love empanadas so J had to stop in to try some.
They were having a special of three empanadas for $6.00 and that sounded fair to me. I tried all three available the beef, chicken and cheese and they were all delicious.

My lunch that day
The restaurant makes its own hot and chili sauces in house and that gives them a little kick. They also have some unusual flavors of sodas. I got the tropical Seven Up that I had never seen before.
Their delicious Empanadas
The empanadas were perfectly cooked and filled to the brim with delicious fillings.

The Beef Empandas
There is a small counter to eat at but after school the kids tend to take this spot. Try to come before school ends for the afternoon to get a space and eat indoors. There are lots of parks in the area to eat lunch.

Lyla’s Bodega has the best empanadas for both lunch and dinner.
