Empanadas from Pampeana - Pampeana is a family-owned business that provides traditional-style baked empanadas with delicious and creative fillings. Making each empanada by hand not only takes a lot of care and time but ensures that each batch is our best as we constantly seek out the top ingredients and combinations. We look forward to bringing a bit of Argentine culture and flavor to this event! The menu for the event will be our five top sellers: 
• Carne (ground beef) 
• Chicken 
• Spinach & Cheese
