My first empanada, and it was fantastic! The dough is everything you would want it to be, crispy, greasy, juicy, soft, tender and chewy all at once, like a textural explosion in your mouth. Having not had one before, I would describe it as a southern (sweet) cornbread batter pancake fried only on one side. Not a calzone type shape that I was expecting, more like a taco. The picanha was well marinated, had great flavor but was cooked a little over making it tough.
You can choose your cheese, and after the recommendation of the chef, went with the Venezuelan queso e mano. Great choice, it's an entire loaf of cheese! Also of the many sauces you can choose, they have a bacon sauce! Get the garlic sauce though, it's amazing. Or both.
