Beef Empanada
Mia S.

Let me tell you, if you ever travel to Miami do you yourself a favor and stop by here! The Empanada's have a variety of flavors and fillings. I ordered a beef, chicken, sweet corn, pulled pork, and Oreo. That's right, they have dessert empanadas! I was skeptical about the Oreo flavor but it was surprisingly delicious! They're located in Key Biscane and the store itself doesn't have a seating area, just a heads up. The lady at the front was helpful and helped me pick the flavors. I wish we had a location in the DMV, maybe I can convince them to open one!

Love this empanada place!! It has become my go-to. They have such a nice selection of different flavors and what I love about them is that the outside part of the dough tells you which is which. The chicken has "chicken" written on the outside, the caprese has "caprese" written in the outside and so on (I'll attach a picture). The filling to dough ratio is good and I love that I haven't experienced an empty empanada. As for flavors, my favorite is the Malbec beef. It has nice chunks of beef, mushrooms, and sauce inside the empanada. Quite the opposite of a dry empanada I'm sure we've all experienced before. The spicy chicken and ham&cheese is also good, but there are many other flavors worth trying as well. The shop is very cute and the person out front is always nice.

I absolutely LOVE empanadas but a good and savory one is really hard to find...until now...! Location -- It's inside a small strip of businesses so it can be a bit hard to find. The location is clean and has a good visual appeal. One can see the kitchen with its staffers which is a plus. Jose took my order and he was not only friendly but helpful...truly a delight...! Downfall -- orders need to be done via "to go" since there's nowhere to sit. All the empanadas are packed with their own savory mouth-watering flavors, made with good quality ingredients and are a bit larger and have more filling than its average size counterparts. There's no mistaken what flavor one's getting since the flavor/name is "stamped" on the empanadas to avoid confusion. They're Simply delicious...! Average price about $3.50/$4.00. Empanadas Ordered -- *Ham and Cheese -- The ham was flavorful and hearty; the cheeses, Mozzarella - Provolone - Swiss, complemented the ham with its delicious gooey-ness *Spicy Chicken -- Simply delicious...!!! It reminded me of the chicken empanadas I used to eat from my abuela. The chicken was flavorful and abundant and it was richly spiced (not spicy as the name claims)...worth trying...! *Pepperoni and Cheese -- Just like eating a well-portioned slice of pizza just on an empanada. Rich tasting pepperoni and wonderfully melted mozzarella. *The Knife Cut Beef -- The diced onions and green peppers added a delicious delectable touch and one can taste the flavorful diced beef in every bite. *Nutella & Brownie -- Simply decadent and all sorts of savory and rich deliciousness *Guayaba & Cheese -- A great yumminess take on the pastelito All of these are great to have by themselves and easily shareable by the bunch...definitely worth the drive to Key Biscayne and I can't with for the Coral Gables location to open soon....! Bon appétit...!

Came here last minute during most recent trip to Biscayne. We found this place on our road to the state park. This may be the best empanada place we've ever tried. The service was quick; they already had multiple empanadas on display ready to go. The spicy beef empanada was my favorite. The guava cream empanada was delicious ! Highly recommend coming here.

This place has an amazing selection of empanadas. We ordered some savory ones that sounded good. For the most part, the empanadas were on the saltier side so it was hard to enjoy fully, but the diversity of empanadas was impressive!

The smallest, cutest empanadas I have ever seen. They had an overwhelming amount of flavor combinations to choose from too. Sweet or savory, there is sure to be at least a few you want to try! Since they are so small, indulging in a few doesn't even make you feel that guilty. Like a bakery, the empanadas in at least 15 different flavors are all displayed in the case. The other brilliant thing thing they do is brand the flavor name right on the empanada! Therefore, if you are like me and go crazy, you will still be able to keep track of which one you are trying from the first to the sixth (don't judge).

Chicken Empanada
Abigail P.

The empanada were very good! We tried the chicken, beef, 4 cheeses, and barbecue pork with mango.The empanada was a little salted. The service was okay. The price was about 4 dollars per empanada.

Friendly staff. Some of the best empanadas I've ever had. I had the spicy beef and spicy chicken empanada. They were stuffed with meat! You definitely get your money's worth. Clean shop, with tables to sit and enjoy just outside of the shop.

I found out about this place on instagram by way of a debutante who was raving about the their food pics. After I took a look and I decided the next time I was going to go Habana that I would pop in and check it out. Well opportunity struck when I had to meet another debutante at Stephanies Crepes. Once the platonic enjoyment was over I headed over to Key Biscayne to check out The Empanadas. Looking over the menu I already knew what I wanted, spicy chicken, caprese, and onion & cheese, which they had all three. They also had a bunch of dipping sauces to choose from, which I think were $1 each, but there was no way I was leaving this place without chimichurri sauce. I waited until I was driving along the non-lit forested part of long drive to exit Key Biscayne so the surrounding environment could make my empanadas more succulent. The spicy chicken which I was most desirous of was a disappointment, it lacked depth of flavor and was little more than a peppery concoction. The chimichurri sauce didn't help it at all, as the sauce itself was a smorgasbord of non-complementing ingredients. The sauce tasted like one of the mannequin blondes from FOX news made it. The caprese and the onion and cheese were divine, full of flavor and luscious to the taste. Not having a palatable dipping sauce to go with the emapanadas is like being massaged by an attractive woman with calluses on her hands, that's no bueno.

They gotta be... It's got a little bit for everyone and most of it is offered through the glass counter which adds to the whole visual effect factor. I strolled in on a Sunday afternoon after a physically engaging morning at Virginia Key. Bro, Florida is deep after all. I opted for outdoor seating and a few Argentine delicacies to nourish my famished soul. I love how they embrace the usage of Palmitos in everything because it's truly the unsung hero of Patagonian cuisine. We split a choripan in the name of gluttony and then munched on some lemon chocolate cookies from the market section that I scored for less than 3 bucks.

The bread had a crispy outer crust with a soft interior, the meat was cooked to perfection, the red pepper relish added a sweet richness and juiciness when mixed with the aioli, and the cheese added good flavor without overpowering the sandwich.

Service was a bit off putting. I was standing at the register and the workers were talking amongst themselves non chalantly. Their coffee though merited enough for a second visit. This time they were actively baking and bringing out pastries. We enjoyed their coffee and had some pastries. This time a lady took my order and she was super friendly. Croissant: perfect. Flaky.

What a great opportunity to get to know a small business with a huge heart! Allegra was on top of every single detail & everyone involved in making this event a pleasure left me anxious for the next one! So pleasantly surprised with the bites provided but the selection of wines & sommeliers at hand was SO impressive. The true testament to this event was the amount of times we heard Allegra's name being mentioned over & over again by the wine reps at each table... "Allegra's own private picks" or "Allegra's top choice" or "Allegra's favorite". This is how you know a small business will continue to succeed - when those that are there representing their own brands know the owners first hand! Beautiful staff, beautiful day, beautiful set up! Just beautiful. And thank you for having Aldo there representing Gin No 3 & Macallan. What a special treat to taste such an amazing whiskey like the Macallan Litha. I am a Spring/Summer Gin Gal & a Fall/Winter Bourbon Gal so these two specially selected spirits were perfection! Hoping to be back for their winter event!

We had a seat at the bar where the service wasn't great - the bartender/server seemed more interested in spending time chatting away with other employees and regular customers he obviously knew, while we waited long periods for him to give us menus when we'd arrived, and then to take our orders after we'd been ready to place them. Vinya is part store with loads of wines, beers, bar supplies and some foods for sale, and part wine bar/restaurant. If you select a bottle and plan to drink it here, they tack on a bit of an upcharge or corkage fee for that privilege, except on Mondays when the corkage fee is waived. We weren't as thrilled with the Wine by the Glass list here vs. the former Vinya location in the Gables. While prices were reasonable, the list was a bit small by comparison, and more than a few offerings were "rotating selections" which usually indicates you order a particular wine variety, and whichever brands they got a good deal on that week or month from their distributor, is what they'll pour for you. Both selections we had (my husband a cabernet and I a pinot grigio) were decent for the price. The staff, at least for us, used small carafes to measure out the pours so we were given an exact amount, nothing more or less. When we left at around 10:30 on that Friday evening the place was busy, with most all the bar seating and tables outside nearly full. All things considered, I'd return here when in this area.
