Maria Empanada-Denver Restaurant Review

Empanadas are perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I may have found the best empanada in Denver when I found Maria Empanada! 

There are three locations in Denver. I went to the one at 1298 S. Broadway. The atmosphere was pleasant. The other locations are Riverview at 1700 Platte St. and in Aurora at Stanley MarketPlace, 2501 Dallas St.

Lorena Cantarovice, CEO and Chef Owner came to the US from Argentina with only $300 in her pocket but was determined to live the American dream. She found the way to that dream through empanadas, and Denver is lucky to have these restaurants to enjoy.

I had lunch and chose a veggie and spinach empanada with a sangria. For dessert, I enjoyed pears in marsala. Each empanada is handcrafted. Meat lovers have plenty to pick from as well. Everything tasted great and was fresh. 

 

I left full and happy. Hours vary slightly at each location but are generally 7:30am to 8:30pm. Find out more at mariaempanada.com
