Meet the Business Owner: Ernesto M.
I remember my passion for cooking started at a young age when my Mother taught my sisters and me how to make traditional Peruvian dishes. By the time I was a teenager, I knew my way around a kitchen. When I first came to the United States, I worked in many restaurants, learning how to prepare different cuisines. I had the opportunity to learn Mexican Italian, Japanese, French and many more other styles of cuisine.

History Of The Empanada
Naturally quick in preparation empanadas are far from traditional fast food. Enjoyed under a multitude of names, empanadas are one of the world’s most popular cuisines.
The empanada goes far back in history and may have originated in the Middle East, but they were carried throughout the world by travelers and traders.
