Great food is the universal love language—especially when it’s Latin influenced. As Brooklyn natives, we wanted to provide our own South Slope neighborhood with a unique experience of the worldwide comfort food—empanadas. Here at Empanada Loca, we’ve grounded ourselves in the traditions of Latin American cuisine. Our head chef masterfully recreates the generations-old recipes for your enjoyment. We’ve developed and inspired recipes for over 30 different types of empanadas. Alongside our crave-worthy empanadas, we’ve assembled an array of carefully crafted sauces and other fusion dishes. Although the flavors we put into our plates are expansive, the integrity of each meal remains constant. Whether baked or fried, food should be honest, and that’s how we make it; using only top notch ingredients and sourcing locally and grass-fed meats whenever possible.

Ingredients & Flavours
Our flavors were born in the heart of Columbia, South America, but have been infused with influences from Brazil, Argentina, and more. Add to that the Brooklyn-born flavour sensibilities that our owners possess and your craving for Latin-American fusion cuisine will be satisfied.
The food is delicious and the empanadas are LIFE! The people are wonderful and the service is great. I am super happy they opened. I am officially a loyal customer.
