North Carolina’s Favorite Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Baked Empanadas!

From Our Heart to Your Table ❤️

Hola, soy Rod — co-founder of Empa-Nadas, alongside my wife Erika.
Like many families, we were juggling work, life, and parenthood when life threw us a curveball: our son was diagnosed with food sensitivities to gluten, dairy, and soy.

We know what it feels like to spend hours reading labels, searching for something safe, healthy, and still delicious. That journey — filled with love, trial, and a sprinkle of creativity — led us to create Empa-Nadas, a space where everyone can enjoy real food without fear.

Our empanadas are free from gluten, dairy, soy, preservatives, and artificial stuff — but full of flavor, heart, and good energy.
They’re made for families like ours: people who want to eat clean, feel good, and still enjoy every bite.

Because everyone deserves to taste something delicious, handmade, and made with love. 💛

So, if you’ve been craving that authentic, homemade flavor
¡Por supuesto, estás en el lugar correcto!
👉 Place your order today and join our Empa-Nadas family.

Absolutely delicious and unique!
