Authentic Colombian Empanadas for a Unique Culinary Experience
This beloved street food of Columbia originated in Spain during the Moorish period, from where it traveled to Latin America and further to other parts of the world. Contemporarily, it is a universally loved and celebrated dish, all thanks to its versatility.
Each country in Latin America developed its unique version of empanadas, but traditional Colombian empanadas are still famous for their unique preparation and ingredients. You can take your sweet time learning about how empanadas originated in Columbia. The history is rich and layered, just like our empanadas.
At Empanada Mama, we try our best to serve cultural truth in every bite. Our chefs handcraft each empanada with care, ensuring consistency and quality.
Now that history has intrigued you, let’s examine all the practical reasons why empanadas are a good choice for event catering.
A Diverse Menu to Cater to Every Taste
In the era of globalization and inclusivity, you can expect a diverse guest list at every event, whether it be casual or professional, small or big gatherings. People will have a range of flavor preferences and dietary restrictions. Only a versatile dish like empanadas can prevent you from unsettling your guests.
From vegan to meat fillings, savory to sweet notes, and crunchy to gooey textures, you can customize empanadas to suit every palate without creating discrepancies in the menu. Everyone will be having an empanada, and everyone will have their favorites in their hands.
Savory Favorites: Popular savory filling options in empanadas are shredded chicken, spicy beef, and cheese empanadas.
At Emapanda Mama, we have Spicy chicken breast slow-cooked in Mama's special picante sauce and Cheeseburger empanadas, which have ground beef cooked in traditional Latin spices with cheddar cheese, among our most liked empanadas.
Sweet Delights: Dessert options such as guava, cheese or Nutella empanadas can tally gourmet sweet varieties.
Empanada Mama’s Nutella and banana, caramel, and cheese combos are modern twists on classical favorites. They are a must-have if you invite sweet tooths.
Vegetarian and Vegan Options: Inclusivity is the new trend. Vegetarian and vegan choices like spinach, cheese, vegan meat substitutes, and eggplant will not let meat options overpower the menu.
Empanada Mama’s Eggplant Parmesan and Greek Spinach pie is a crowd-pleaser even among meat lovers. You can guess the dish's popularity!
Given the customizable platters we offer, our menu ensures that empanada catering is not only delicious but also accommodating for every guest.
