La Boca Tradition

Every Batch, Baked Fresh Daily

Chef Franco brings heritage family recipes from Buenos Aires, crafting each empanada with scratch-made dough and slow-simmered fillings.

From Buenos Aires

Chef Franco's Story

Growing up in La Boca, Chef Franco learned the art of empanada making at his grandmother's side. Every hand-crimped fold, every slow-simmered filling, carries the flavor of his childhood.

He brought those time-honored techniques and cherished family recipes to our neighborhood, sharing the authentic taste of Argentina with every golden-baked empanada.

— The Art of the Fold

Each repulgue pattern tells a story, signifying the filling within. A tradition passed down through generations, ensuring every bite is a delightful surprise.

Four-Hour Simmer

Scratch-Made Dough

House Chimichurri

Our beef centers are slow-simmered for four hours, exactly how Chef Franco learned back in Buenos Aires. Rich, tender, and deeply flavorful.

Every empanada starts with our signature scratch-made dough, prepared fresh daily. Flaky, golden, and the perfect vessel for our fillings.

No empanada is complete without our vibrant, fresh house chimichurri. A bright, herbaceous counterpoint to our savory fillings.
