Discover the authentic taste of Oaxaca with our handmade Empanadas. Each empanada is lovingly crafted from scratch, featuring a perfectly flaky pastry filled with your choice of seasoned beef or tender chicken. Our fillings are prepared with traditional Oaxacan spices, onions, peppers, and a blend of herbs that have been perfected over generations. Baked to a beautiful golden brown and served with our signature salsas and crema.
Our Empanadas represent the heart of Oaxacan home cooking. Each empanada begins with our house-made dough, prepared fresh daily using a traditional recipe that creates the perfect balance of flaky layers and tender texture. The dough is rolled by hand, ensuring each empanada has the ideal thickness to hold its filling while baking to golden perfection.
Beef Empanadas: Our beef filling features premium ground beef seasoned with a carefully balanced blend of cumin, paprika, and traditional Oaxacan spices. We add sautéed onions, bell peppers, and a touch of jalapeño for depth of flavor. Each bite delivers a savory, satisfying experience with just the right amount of heat.
Chicken Empanadas: Tender shredded chicken is combined with caramelized onions, roasted poblano peppers, and a medley of herbs including cilantro and oregano. The result is a lighter yet equally flavorful option that showcases the subtle complexity of Oaxacan seasonings.
Whether you're looking for a delicious appetizer, a satisfying snack, or a complete meal, our Empanadas fit the bill perfectly. They're great for sharing with friends and family, or enjoyed on your own. We serve them piping hot with our house-made salsas – from mild verde to spicy roja – along with cooling Mexican crema and fresh lime wedges.

"I've tried empanadas at many places, but The Three Amigos sets the bar high. The chicken empanadas are my favorite – so flavorful and the pastry is always perfectly crisp. The salsas they serve with them are amazing too!"
