There is a large variety of empanadas available, from meat-based fillings like brisket and chorizo to many vegetarian options like my favorite selection, the cheese and onion, sweet potato and black bean, and even several sweet options such as apples and walnut and peaches and cream. Everything is clearly labeled for dietary needs and potential allergies such as nuts.
Frozen empanadas are available to take home and heat, although I took five from the case home (after eating one here) to heat over several days and they held up very well. They are large and filling. There is a very small amount of seating here, for just a few people at a time, as this is mostly a takeout spot. A local gem.
Parked outside!!
HOLY SHIT! (Can I say that)????
These were absolutely incredible, I got the chicken, brisket and chorizo. The brisket with jalapeños dipped in the spicy chili sauce is hard to describe…. HOT!! But I couldn’t get enough…
The young lady at the counter knew I was going to like them because she had so much confidence in their product. I only regret not getting one of their sandwiches or their desert empanadas!!
This is a MUST STOP!!!
The owner was very helpful and had everything ready as planned. Appreciated her efforts. I believe we will stop occasionally. when in town, to get them to have for dinner. Super easy. Plus they travel well.
The preparation ended up taking a bit longer than anticipated but well worth it. I know you will be pleased.
My favorites were the lamb, sweet potato and black bean, and spinach empanadas.
Can purchase a dozen empanadas frozen to cook at your leisure.
Don’t forget dessert. The chocolate alfajor is delicious!! Definitely a winner in South American cuisine!
I have to say the flavor of the food is improved by 2 or 3 fold if you microwave it after getting pickup. The beef empanada also has some pancetta and olives. It was juicy and flavorful. It goes very well with side dipping sauce, which is oily, garlicky, and full of herbs. The chicken empanada was also pretty good. The meat is tender and seasoned well. It’s not too fatty nor too tough.
The peaches and cream empanadas are so heavenly when heated. Peaches are fresh and vibrant. The cream is sweet and delicate, just incredible. Easily my favorite part of the meal. All the empanadas have a flaky shell that is a bit thick. It’s quite different from the Venezuelan empanadas I have tried, but still great. The empanadas from Mi Empanada are more expensive for the portion but they are very tasty.
Their sides are also great and the portions are quite good for the price. I’d recommend the polenta over the Spanish rice, since the latter is a bit blander. The polenta is buttery and rich, so you can’t taste the grains. Their tomato sauce is excellent and flavorful. The rice is definitely better than any store bought option. Some tomatoes, peppers, and seasoning, but still pretty standard. I really enjoyed their imported alfajor. It’s quite large for $3, and the dulce de leche inside is on point! So good.
All in all, I would definitely recommend trying this place out. They have some unique imports, delicious empanadas, and pretty good sides. Portions might be a bit small for the empanadas, but the flavors make them worth the price.
