salad bar with just about anything you could wish for on a perfectly piled high salad. Additionally, a variety of rich soups are available every day. Broccoli and Cheddar, Red Beans, and even Gumbo are menu staples. The Corn and Crab Bisque is a Nola-inspired favorite and will quickly become one of your go-to items.
With all of these amazing options, you might wonder... where are the empanadas? Trust me, they are there and waiting to be devoured. I’m absolutely in love with each and every flavor and
I appreciate that there is truly an option for everyone. Breakfast empanadas stuffed with eggs, bacon and Béchamel pair well with any house coffee. Sweet empanada options such as Apple Pecan and Bananas Foster make a great indulgent afternoon snack, and the wide variety of savory options will leave you coming back again and again.
The Beef Argentina is an Empanola classic, staying true to its roots with ground beef, peppers, onions, olives, and eggs. It’s one that I order every time. Basic empanadas for those still unsure about which one to choose are in abundance with flavors such as Pepperoni Pizza, Mushroom and Cheese, and a super rich Ham and Queso. Louisiana-influenced empanadas like the Seafood Gumbo and Crawfish Etouffee are also standout choices. There are even Yellow Curry and Asian Dumpling options, rounding out an incredible array of cuisines. The best part about these little handheld delights is that they are baked, not fried, so you can leave all the guilt at the door.
An Empanola experience is indicative of that perfect, breezy New Orleans afternoon. With two locations in Biloxi and a new drive-through location in Ocean Springs, Empanola is solidifying its status as a go-to restaurant on the Coast. Its effortless charm makes it the perfect venue for breakfast or lunch or that easy coffee in between. Besides,
you can simply never
ever go wrong with pie
in any shape, size, or
flavor.
