Mi Empanada

"Ivan and his team hooked me up for my 40th birthday party. There was a wonderful mix of all the empanadas and dipping sauces and people went WILD over them. Like no hello, no mingling, walked in the door, saw them and made a B-line to the food! We cannot recommend this place enough! And he even personally dropped the food off at the party venue for us to save us a trip that day!"

"I've not had Empanadas since I moved out of Washington DC. Over 20 years ago. And I was not let down today , I got the spinach empanadas and they were excellent just like I remembered, staff was wonderful and the location though simple was spotless. I will definitely be back"

"I ordered some delivery from this place, and these empanadas are at the top of my list of favorite foods from Pittsburgh. I got two vegan empanadas: the spinach and butternut squash ones. They were so amazing. The fillings were perfectly light and filling at the same time. I hope to order more from here again before I head back home:)"

"I was looking for a high carb Latin American/Argentinian dinner before a race, so Mi Empanada intrigued me. I tried the beef empanada, chicken empanada, peaches and cream empanada, polenta, Spanish rice, and a meringue alfajor. Everything was very tasty. I have to say the flavor of the food is improved by 2 or 3 fold if you microwave it after getting pickup. The beef empanada also has some pancetta and olives. It was juicy and flavorful. It goes very well with side dipping sauce, which is oily, garlicky, and full of herbs. The chicken empanada was also pretty good. The meat is tender and seasoned well. It's not too fatty nor too tough. The peaches and cream empanadas are so heavenly when heated. Peaches are fresh and vibrant. The cream is sweet and delicate, just incredible. Easily my favorite part of the meal. All the empanadas have a flaky shell that is a bit thick. It's quite different from the Venezuelan empanadas I have tried, but still great. The empanadas from Mi Empanada are more expensive for the portion but they are very tasty. Their sides are also great and the portions are quite good for the price. I'd recommend the polenta over the Spanish rice, since the latter is a bit blander. The polenta is buttery and rich, so you can't taste the grains. Their tomato sauce is excellent and flavorful. The rice is definitely better than any store bought option. Some tomatoes, peppers, and seasoning, but still pretty standard. I really enjoyed their imported alfajor. It's quite large for $3, and the dulce de leche inside is on point! So good. All in all, I would definitely recommend trying this place out. They have some unique imports, delicious empanadas, and pretty good sides. Portions might be a bit small for the empanadas, but the flavors make them worth the price."

"Loved the empanadas here. The real joy of it is in the balance of flaky crust and flavor and I think they did that so well! I tried the onion fugachetta and it had an amazing crust and delicious filling. The onions were jammy and a bit on the sweet side. It deserved a 4/5. The star of the show was spinach empanada and it was perfectly flavored and spiced. It deserved 7/5. I had two and felt filled!"
