Empanola

Empanola was such a fun and flavorful stop in New Orleans. The shop felt bright and casual, with a grab-and-go energy that made it easy to pop in for a quick bite. I tried a couple of empanadas — one savory and one sweet — and both were packed with flavor. The crust was golden and flaky, with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. The fillings were well-seasoned and satisfying without being too heavy. Overall, it’s a simple concept done really well. Perfect for a quick snack while exploring the city — tasty, convenient, and full of personality.

We ordered the NOLA empanadas, we loved the crawfish, muffuletta and the shrimp and cheese. Crispy, crunchy and savory. We didn’t like the gumbo empanadas it was a little bland. The chimichurri was fantastic(definitely recommend) and the creamy lime sauce was good too.

First time is a charm? We had the pleasure of having a snack here. Two great ladies served us a perfect set of empanadas with chimi. After being in Argentina for a few weeks, it was a treat!

Busy and a little wait. There's not much seating inside. Cute shop. Great food. Seems very popular. Just happened to pass by.

Definitely worth checking out. Empanadas were delicious and stuff was friendly and helpful. So many different fillings to choose from so there’s something for everyone. My favorite was the caprese!
