Empanola - New Orleans

Crawfish Etouffee was my favorite but they are all delicious and savory. Get you some! You wont regret it.

I never write reviews, and I don't usually enjoy empanadas, but these are fiiiire

This cozy little spot has a warm and inviting atmosphere. I really enjoyed the lunch special—it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. The Spinach and Artichoke empanada was absolutely delicious, and the salad was bursting with flavors! I just loved it. The tomato soup was rich and had great texture; it quickly became another favorite of mine. The Bananas Foster dessert empanada was a delightful surprise, and I genuinely loved it. Plus, I thought it was a neat touch to have stamps on each empanada indicating their fillings!

This restaurant is ideally located for those shopping on Magazine Street. The empanadas are excellent—not greasy or overly heavy—and they offer some unique options. The place is clean and has plenty of seating. Definitely a must-try!

Date: December 4, 2021 Would I recommend it? Yes. This charming little spot offers a cozy seating area and a fantastic selection of empanadas that showcase local flavors. I tried both of their vegan options: the yellow curry and the Impossible. Each comes with dipping sauces—hot sauce and chimichurri for the vegan versions. I enjoyed the Impossible empanada more than the curry. While the crust was on the softer side and not very flaky, the Impossible filling had a rich flavor, although it might be a bit salty for some. The yellow curry was actually quite delicious and would pair beautifully with a bowl of rice. If I’m in the area shopping, I would definitely swing by for a quick snack.
