Mr Empanada St. Petersburg

This restaurant is a beloved local spot for a quick empanada fix. They offer a variety of empanadas to suit everyone's taste, including traditional beef and chicken, as well as crab, and even sweet options like guava and cheese. Currently, they have a seasonal pumpkin spice and cheese empanada on the menu. This is a local franchise with several locations throughout Tampa and St. Petersburg. This particular location is conveniently close to downtown and provides catering and delivery options via DoorDash and GrubHub. They even have a kids' meal option available. For catering, they offer platters of mini pastries. While the menu isn't extensive, you can expect to enjoy either an empanada or a salad when you visit. What they do, they do well—the fillings are served hot, and the shells are perfectly crispy!

Amazing empanadas, seriously! They're made fresh to order and come in a variety of options. The blue crab and buffalo chicken were both delicious! The service was excellent, too! I do hope they add a classic ham and cheese empanada in the future!

The beef and cheese, as well as the chicken and broccoli, are absolutely delicious! I will definitely be coming back!

I've been eager to try the empanadas from this place for a while, and I'm so glad I finally did! They exceeded my expectations. I ordered five different types, and each one was individually wrapped and labeled. I will definitely be ordering again!

Kid-friendliness: They have kid’s meals and plenty of seating space.
