About Empanola

Empanola is a popular restaurant known for its delicious and beautifully packaged empanadas. The menu offers a variety of flavors, such as beef, Peruvian chicken, cheese, mushrooms, shrimp and cheese, and muffuletta in the Asian dumpling, which are often ordered in bulk. The owner, Jimena, is praised for her excellent customer service, listening carefully to customers' concerns and making adjustments when needed. Customers consistently find the food to be incredible, with fresh and well-made empanadas that remind some of the empanadas in Argentina. Many enjoy pairing the empanadas with the cilantro lime sauce and chimichurri sauce, which are highly recommended. The restaurant is appreciated for its authentic empanada flavors, offering a taste of Latin America, and the food is baked, not fried, making it a convenient and reasonably healthy choice for lunch. In addition to empanadas, the menu includes dishes like pepperoni pizza and chorizo empanadas. The atmosphere is lively, with a clean and pleasant restaurant inside and a park picnic table outside. It’s a great place for a delightful dining experience. The food travels well and maintains quality even when ordered to go. Many visitors also love the vegetarian options like spinach and artichoke, caprese, and yellow curry. The breakfast empanadas, with a wide range of fillings and desserts, keep customers returning for more.
