Empanadas or Empanadillas? I am used to cookie pan sized Empanadas. Empanadillas are deep fried at least any of the ones I have eaten.

Actually its baked or deep fried. Havent had any home made in about 15 years. Grandmother used real pumpkin not the canned stuff to make her sweet ones. She also cream and pineapple filled ones. She never made deep fried or savory.
Lots of places locally to get them but just aren't thsame as homemade, like everything else.

TFF, lots of places/reasons to use that image, on this site. By similarish, I meant deep fried, crispy outer casing.

Did a job years ago at a produce terminal in San Antonio TX. There was an elderly Mexican woman who would come by every morning around 6:30 selling warm homemade pineapple empanadas. Never had anything so delicious to go with my coffee.

Vacationed in Ixtapa Mexico in the mid 1990's for a week. On the way from the Airport in Zihuatanejo to the condo we passed a lady in her front yard cooking empanadas in a large pink free standing clay oven and laying the cooked empanadas on top of the pony size rock wall next to the oven separating her yard from the street. We stopped and got a bag of several different kinds. Came back again a few days later on the way back from tuna fishing.

I made some a few weekends ago. I used venison ,pork,onion, green pepper,celery cooked down then added a tablespoon of flour to make a bit of a gravy. Seasoned it with Slap ya Mama. I cheated and used flaky canned biscuits rolled very thin. Brushed the tops with an egg wash before baking. They where good.

Miami has a number of ethnic restaurants. One thing you learn quickly is that there are empanadas, and there are empanadas. They can be vastly different depending on what South American country the cook came from . Hands down, the best are those made by Argentine restaurants. Of those, the best is Fufi's on 2nd Ave. https://gauchoranchgrillboutique.wordpress.com/2016/11/02/fufis-empanadas/

I Realize this thread is a bit dated, but, for just a bit of variety try the Natchitoches meat pies. They are too, awesome.

Strangely, they are not common to find here in northwest Louisiana and Natchitoches only about 70 miles away.

If you’re ever in the area during Christmas Light Festival(w about 50,000) of your closest friends(!) go to Laysone’s. They are real famous and also ship everywhere. They are really good to serve in fall for tailgating or other similar gatherings. Try ‘em.

I used to get some at the weekly market in Anchorage, AK. They were beef with a vinegar based dipping sauce kind of like a chimichuri. Dang those were good.

Strangely, they are not common to find here in northwest Louisiana and Natchitoches only about 70 miles away. I lived in Shreveport LA for a time. I traveled all over LA. I found Shreveport is more bbq territory but when I travelled south a bit into central LA I had many gas station lunches of meat pies and a hunk of boudin. I have lived in many places but never found anywhere that had better or diverse foods as LA.
