I stopped by The Mmoon in downtown San Jose last night to grab empanadas and a Corona with my girlfriend. This dine in / take-out gourmet empanada eatery is run by one of my best girlfriend's Argentine family. If you have never tried an empanada, you're in for a treat. Think gourmet hot pocket with a side of the most scrumptious "secret" chimichurri sauce. I'm awfully biased and think all their empanadas are delicious but I'd have to say my favorites are: cheese & onion and pizza.
*Stop in this Friday for a free empanada in honor of National Empanada Day!

I love empanada, we ate a good few whilst in S.A a few weeks ago. My bf got very addicted to Quilmers too - very refreshing! I just posted some pictures of it yesterday!

I'm filipino and because the Philippines was a Spanish colony for years and years, our culture has some spanish flair from food to language! My mom makes these fantastic little empanadas- they're so yum :)

Okay those are whopper sized empanadas.....aaaand it's almost lunch. Hmmmmm.
YUMM!! Empanadas are a big thing in my Ecuadorian family! xo
Growing up with a Colombian nanny, I ate a LOT of empanadas, but I'm absolutely awful at making them! John and I will have to make a food pilgrimage!
Those look soooooo yummy! Let's meet for dinner there one night after work! Yum! Making me hungry! ;)
OHhhhh!!!! I love empanadas.

Looks absolutely delicious!!!
i haven't had a good empanada in a long time...is it really worth the trek to san jose b/c those do look delicioso!
@bananas - yes, I promise! these are authentic Argentine empanadas... very delicioso!
It's not nice to post pictures of delicious food while I'm stuck working away with no hopes of eating empanadas in the next, oh 5 minutes. I'm drooling. I haven't made it out of the city a lot since I've moved here, but if and when I'm in San Jose, I'll definitely have to try this!
Pictures at dusk are the best! Nice shots, and they are making me drool :)
Just tried these last week. They were delish. I'm very glad I only live about 5 minutes away!
Yum, another "to try" for me!!
