What are Empanadas?
Empanadas are baked or fried crescent-shaped pastries that can be filled with a variety of ingredients consisting of meats, veggies, and fruits. Empanadas originated from Spain and found their way into popular culture with their portability and delicious texture and flavor possibilities.
EmPIEnada brings this popular food to Reno with their own twists, introducing well-known flavors from other cuisines, transforming the traditional empanada into something fun, tasty, and interesting.
Cheeseburger, Gumbo, Beef and Guiness, chicken and waffles, and Italian Meatball are only a few of the options you can find here, and the owner is constantly storming up ideas with her team for new creations.
The empanadas had nice, clean flavors that shone with freshness and simplicity. The sauces on the side were complimenting and provided another level of flavor (don't forget to ask for them). Whenever possible, the owner will source ingredients locally.
They also have pot pies that have a special kind of dough, a dough that is responsible in creating one of the best chicken pot pies i've had in a long time (i've had some pretty good ones in New York). I was so caught up in the flavor that I didn't get a chance to take shots of the filling. There was a generous serving of falky, buttery, and flavorful dough, chunks of meat, veggies, loads of creaminess, and a whole lot of yummy.
Visit EmPIEnada and have yourself a foodie adventure with delicious empanadas and pot pies served with a smile (thanks Kim!).
