Empa Mundo

The Got Weekend take

Why go

Empa Mundo brings Argentine roots and a wide-ranging filling lineup to Belt Line Road. Argentine-born owner Raul Gordon and his wife, Maya, are behind this casual, BYOB spot, where crisp empanada crusts hold both savory and sweet combinations. Start with brisket, potatoes, onion and chilies, or try the Buffalo Chicken version with serrano, jalapeño and poblano peppers. The cheesesteak option takes another direction with beef, onions and peppers. The bundles make it easy to explore rather than settle on one filling. Choose three empanadas for the Mini Mundo Tour or six for the World Sampler; both come with chimichurri, with drinks purchased separately. Larger nine- and twelve-empanada bundles give a group more room to mix things up. Save a spot in your selection for something sweet: banana Nutella, cookies and cream, or Camote, filled with sweet potato and marshmallow. That savory-to-sweet range is the reason to build an order around a few different choices.

• Try the brisket empanada with potatoes, onion and chilies.
• Build a three-empanada Mini Mundo Tour with chimichurri.
• Share a six-empanada World Sampler with friends.
• Go sweet with banana Nutella or sweet potato and marshmallow.

A casual BYOB meal with friends, a shared empanada tasting, or a solo stop for savory and sweet bites.
