About

Owned by a Venezuelan-raised Portuguese family, this North Beach bakery is an ideal place to dig into local empanada culture. Argentinean, Colombian, Chilean or Venezuelan, you'll find them all here. Order one of each to share with your friends to try several tastes of South America at once. If you must pick just one, try the Venezuelan, available with beef or chicken. Served fried, the dough is almost like that of an arepa - a corn patty - and the filling of shredded beef or chicken is nice and juicy. Just be prepared for some drips when you bite.
