The Empanada Shop
The Empanada Shop offers a casual spot to pick up traditional and Mexi-Californian style empanadas with quick service and both indoor and outdoor seating. Vegan empanadas like lentil and potato are mentioned often, though an owner’s statement revealed butter in the crust, making true vegan status uncertain. Prices hover around $4 per empanada with discounts on larger orders, and the shop is praised for flavorful fillings and a friendly atmosphere near local landmarks like the library.
