If you’ve got a craving for warm and satisfying comfort food, chances are an empanada will do just the trick. It pains us to even have to explain what an empanada is, but as a public service, we will — because if you’ve never had one you’re MISSING OUT. An empanada is a warm stuffed pastry that is baked or fried, originating from Latin America and Spain. Empanadas Cafe, located at 123 Washington Street, is an absolute must-try, but starting October 1st, empanadas aren’t the only food menu items you can purchase at this gem.

Founders Paolo Spavavecchia and Gustavo Spavavecchia, who are originally from Argentina, founded the eatery a few years ago and it quickly become a go-to in the Mile Square. Elba Nunuez also recently joined the team as a co-owner.

Hobbs Inc

Empanadas Cafe recently switched storefronts and moved to the space directly next to the former one because of the larger kitchen size, in case you were wondering. The new storefront has a more modern vibe and design.

The Menu

A few of the must-try items from the huge menu: spicy chicken, spinach, dulce de leche with bananas, pork and fig, really any meat or cheese or sweet craving can most likely be satisfied. The empanadas are pre-baked, and then upon ordering, they are toasted in an oven. YUM.

To keep them straight, the empanadas are stamped with their stuffing, so you know you’re never going to get an empanada that isn’t exactly what you want.

Even more exciting, as of Friday, October 1st, the cafe is introducing some new menu items thanks to customer requests for more food! Now, patrons can stop in for rotisserie chicken in the form of mixed platters that come with rice.

In the near future, the cafe will be introducing sandwiches, soups, and a new pastry and dessert menu. That’s not all. With locals always looking for a place to snag some morning coffee for their commutes, the cafe plans to expand its hours to open earlier. Stay tuned with Empanadas Cafe for the formal announcement of that.
