The
REAL Story
What's an empanada?? That's like saying whats' a taco in South America.
We are a family operated business, located by the beautiful beaches of San Clemente. At a young age, my mother decided to go back to her Argentinean roots where we spent much of our adolescence there. During that time, we made everlasting friendships, awesome memories and brought back a passion for creating the best darn empanada. ;)
We spent countless hours and energy perfecting our recipe to fit our active lifestyle. As an avid practitioner in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, surfer and health addict not to mention father of kids who are also very active with sports, I'm always looking for healthier options while I'm on the go.
We felt that there was an opportunity to bring what we experienced in South America. And make it our own here in sunny San Clemente. So, come try our empanadas, eat them with friends, take them to go, or enjoy them at the beach or your next sporting event. You won't be disappointed.
Well, that's it.... that's The Real Empanada.
