local varieties of squash
local varieties of hard shell squash
when dealing with agricultural products, I usually translate 'criollo' as 'local' or 'local variety', as in the local fruits and vegetables of the region.
Hard shell squash meat may also be cut into pieces and added to soups, stews, and casseroles.

Yes, as Henry mentions, zapallo can be squash, pumpkin and even calabash. Depends on the target country.

Creole Shoe
Esto es lo único que encontré:
The final Allegro heralds the "zapato criollo" (Creole shoe) and includes a central
theme that has its echo in the rhythm of the popular Cuban "bolero". ...

I think this is the word you are looking for. Are they the colorfully striated ones so often seen, dried and shellacked, as table decorations at this time of the year? I have some on my table right now.

autumn squash or winter squash
Según el "Diccionario de Plantas Agrícolas" (Servicio de Publicaciones Agrarias del Ministerio de Agricultura de España), la planta que en la Argentina se denomina "zapallo criollo" es
Cucurbita maxima
Hay diversas variedades de "squash" que se incluyen en esta especie. Las más comunes son "banana squash" y "Hubbard squash," pero sin información adicional (una descripción física de la planta y de la fruta) es imposible identificarla con exactitud. La "banana squash" es de color amarillo y puede medir hasta un metro de largo, con un diámetro de varias pulgadas. La fruta sirve para hacer pasteles ("pies") igual que el "pumpkin" (cucurbita pepo).
Faltando más detalles, sugiero que use "autumn squash" o "winter squash".
