One of my favorite comfort foods has to be empanadas. When done right they are this amazing pastry packed with meats, cheeses, veggies, spices, etc. There’s so many different filling options for all different dietary requirements. Great option especially for vegetarians as there is always a handful of dishes not containing meat. If you ever find yourself in Milwaukee, La Masa is an incredible empanada restaurant. However, if you are not in Milwaukee and still looking for an amazing empanada place, Empanadaus is a great empanada chain in Chicago surrounding area.
Offering a rotating menu of at least 15 different empanadas, this is an incredibly affordable place great for lunch, dinner or even a quick snack. They even have packs of 10 set aside in a freezer that you can bring home with you. Two or Three per person and you have a perfect quick meal for a family on a busy weeknight. I grabbed three different ones to try them out, and just based on those three alone, I already can’t wait too go back again and try some more out. I tried their corn, sausage, and mushroom empanada and each of them were pack full of filling. It came with their in house chimichurri sauce which topped them all off perfectly. I was stuffed after eating three halves so would highly recommend only getting two or three. My overall rating for atmosphere and food was 9/10! Definitely check this place out!
