Matilda Empanadas are based in Providence, RI and can be found at farmer's markets, fairs, festivals, breweries, around Rhode Island, and all around The East Coast. I first saw Matilda Empanadas at SoWa Winter Festival in Boston, but didn't have a chance to try them then. When I saw Matilda Empanadas was coming back to the Providence Winter Farmers Market at Farm Fresh Rhode Island every Saturday for the month of November on their Instagram (@matildari), I knew I had to take the opportunity to try their heart-shaped empanadas. We found the Matilda Empanadas table inside and ordered 3 empanadas ($8.00 each). I had wanted fries too, but they were sold out. We got the Slow Roasta, Beefy Mac, and Cuban "Jamon y Queso" empanadas. The Slow Roasta has roasted black Angus beef with local herbs and Dominican spices, caramelized onion and trio-mushroom, sofrito braised black beans, roasted corn, roasted red pepper, cheddar cheese and a touch of dark chocolate. The Beefy Mac has roasted black Angus beef with local herbs and Dominican spices, macaroni with a house-made roasted garlic cheese sauce, and a touch of roasted red peppers. The Cuban "Jamon y Queso" has slow roasted pernil (pork) with local herbs and Dominican spices, roasted ham, Swiss Cheese, and a touch sweet relish. All the empanadas had a really nice crispy shell and you can tell the dough is made from scratch and homemade. The filling was also very good and flavorful. The spicy tomato aioli was so delicious and great sauce for the empanadas. After taxes, $25.92 does seem a little pricy for 3 empanadas but I know they were made with love. I do wish they were a little bigger but they did taste very good.

I love this good truck! They recently catered an organization's May meet up and I ran to get a plate (or two). Their heart shaped empanadas are delicious! I loved the Cuban. I tried both the plantain chips with spicy mayo and the Dominican rice & beans. Everything was sooo good! The truck workers were efficient & kind. If you come across their food truck, I highly recommend you give them a try!

Amazing empanadas and great customer service. I got the spinach one in their Boston Portuguese Festival and I would want to try new flavors. I thought the concept of heart shaped empanadas were too cute not to try and did not disappoint. It is in the pricy side of $9 each empanada and their fries are not good. But the spicy mayo sauce is to die for!

Went to the food truck at PVDfest, not cheap but soooooo good! I had the Mrs Mac and could eat a million of them (except they were definitely pricey!). A fun treat yourself! Their secret ingredient really is love!

The sweetest business owners with the cutest empanadas! Where else can you find heart shaped empanadas AND Vegan options?! I'm so thankful for this place. There's not an empanada I didn't like on their menu.

Beefy mac is sooo good

See all

They take about 30 minutes to make so it's best to call your order in especially with all the covid 19 stuff going on.
