Empanola Destin

10, 10 & 10!!! I saw this place was recommended by our local foodie so I wanted to try it out. I drove all the way from Navarre last weekend and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! You walk it in & its nicely decorated & smells so good. The menu is small but so many choices. I asked the young lady what were the best & she recommended the Asian Dumpling & Beef Argentina with a side a cilantrolime sauce. My daughter wanted to try to Capesea aka pizza. It took less than 10 mins from walk in to order placed & I received the below little cute box. Their menu also includes drinks, coffees and desserts. We got home & everything was delicious! The flavors were so rich and well combined. The lime cilantro sauce even went good with both. I only ate half of my two and the both warmed up well the next d

Empanola does not play small. This place is bold, loud in flavor, and proud of it. 💥 From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with vibrant colors, fun energy, and plenty of seating — plus a couple of tables outside if you’re feeling fancy and breezy. They even have a display of the empanadas up front, so you know the size right away (spoiler: they understood the assignment 👀). They offer 16+ kinds of empanadas, all coming out fresh, hot, and ready to ruin all other empanadas for you. I tried the Yellow Curry (coconut milk, onions, curry, peanuts, ginger, and veggies) and the Chilean Beef (onions, ground beef, and chopped beef). Both were next-level delicious. Like… pause-mid-bite-and-rethink-your-life good. And the sauces?? THREE of them. Each one better than the last. Not optional. Life-ch

Empanola | Destin, Florida Near the quiet seam where Okaloosa leans into Walton, there is a small door to joy. You might miss it if you are not paying attention. But joy, I’ve learned, often hides like this. In 2025, we began to notice the quiet blooming of new flavors— food trucks, small kitchens, brave hands shaping something honest for the people of Destin. Each opening felt like a small celebration. My heart has been grateful for every one. And then I found Empanola. It sits beside a gas station, one of those unlikely places where hunger and surprise shake hands. From the outside, it whispers nothing. Inside, it speaks in warmth— Latin rhythms, soft light, the promise of comfort. Empanadas. Small moons of dough, folded with care. I have known them in Mexico, in Latin America, on

Pretty good little place. The empanadas are very filled in and flavorful. They are $6 a pop but to me, it was worth it. I wasn’t disappointed. They offer savory options as well as a couple sweet options. They do have a vegetarian friendly section in their menu. It will get messy eating it. Therefore, have your clean hands and some napkins ready to go (lol). It’s a finger licking good time. Their Spanish latte is really good as well (white chocolate and coffee).
