Review:
Maria Empanada is a delightful Argentinian-style empanada joint in Denver, featured on the Food Network series Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives for its unique, reasonably priced savory and sweet empanada flavors.
The restaurant, which has been owned by chef and restaurateur Lorena Cantarovici since 2011, produces more than 1,500 empanadas each day at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, stuffed with classic Argentinian fillings. Flavor options range from traditional ground beef and pepper or seared steak and egg variants to adventurous flavors such as sweet corn, caprese, spinach bechamel, and ham and cheese. Empanadas are available individually or by the half-dozen or dozen, served up alongside Spanish-style tortillas and tortas throughout the day. At breakfast, diners can enjoy sausage, egg and potato, or chorizo-style empanadas paired with tartitas or Spanish breakfast bars.
