LOVE MADE EMPANADAS

Restaurant Image

Inspired by New Orleans' stimulating cuisine and our love for cooking, we dreamed of bringing our delicious South American empanadas to town. Empanola was born in 2017, allowing us to see our project manifest. Bringing to our customers Latin-inspired, Louisiana-influenced, and lots of vegetarian flavors. Since then we have been a local favorite. We hope you enjoy them anytime and everywhere!

Fun place, flavorful food, friendly people. I've eaten here twice. The salad bar is super impressive and had so many options. The empanadas have a ton of varieties. They are pretty filling for a small thing. Great crust too. They've also got coffee, smoothies, baked goods, and some small areas to lounge.

Food was delicious. Coffee was great as well. I drink decaf and a lot of places don't serve decaf but they do which was great. We got the breakfast empanadas, apple turnover, muffin and scone. Atmosphere was very relaxed with just enough of Nola flare. Would definitely return.

Finally got an opportunity to stop in and try them out. They definitely got our Cajun stamp of approval. We thought these were just amazing!! The gumbo empanada is definitely New Orleans style which was no surprise, but there is a difference from southwestern Louisiana gumbo for those wondering how they are. The etouffe and pork dumpling flavors were just so delicious!!! We will definitely be back!!

Obsessed! Stopped by this place because I wasn’t feeling fast food but wanted something quick. 10/10! Everything I've tried has been so good but the buffalo chicken is my favorite. Will be back to try all of the coffees for sure! Great price as well.
