Our chicken empanadas will warm your heart and make your taste buds dance. We use only shredded chicken breast meat cooked in chicken broth flavored with bay leaves. Then we add sautéed onions and flavor it with cumin, Spanish paprika, salt, and some sugar to add just the right amount of sweetness to this savory delight. 

Believe it or not, our vegetarian empanadas are a hit with our meat lovers. We sauté cremini mushrooms, spinach, shallots, and lots of garlic and mix it with cream cheese and mozzarella. The flavors from the mushrooms and aromatics mixed with two types of cheese make this filling a favorite with our repeat customers. The generous amounts of cremini mushrooms gives this empanada a meaty texture with a delicious umami flavor.
