A Empanadas | Our Story
A celebration of tradition, flavor, and community
Hi, I'm Alina — the heart behind A Empanadas. This all started with a simple love for home-cooked flavors and the joy of gathering around food.
Where the flavors come from
Growing up with Mexican, Chilean, and German roots, Alina was shaped by bold, comforting flavors that crossed borders. Together with co-founder Luis Baraldi, she set out to honor those traditions — one empanada at a time.
Made with fresh ingredients and a lot of heart
Every empanada is crafted from fresh, high-quality ingredients. Alina even grows her own peppers and herbs in a garden fertilized by the bakery's composted organic waste — a true farm-to-oven loop.
Part of your day, part of the community
Whether at a South Florida weekend market or our Delray Beach location, the mission never changes — real flavors, genuine warmth, and guests who keep coming back.
Giving back is part of the recipe
A Empanadas proudly donates 1% of gross profit to fight cancer, and every bag that leaves our kitchen is greaseproof and compostable — printed with FSC-certified paper and soy-based inks. Good food, we believe, should give back.
