Food

For those new to Spanish cuisine, empanadas are basically turnovers which are fried or baked and stuffed with various ingredients.

Empanada options range from BBQ Chicken, to Pizza, to Italian sausage. They even offer an Apple Pie version for anyone with a sweet tooth. The best is a vegetarian friendly spinach, artichoke, and cheese creation, which is popular with anyone avoiding meat, as well as foodies.

Additionally, their black bean soup is savory and their Cuban toast is totally delicious. Everything is affordable, filling, and worth every calorie.

Service

This is a counter service restaurant - no table service. The food did not take long at all despite the constant traffic.

Atmosphere

There is little in the way of décor and limited seating available. This place is more popular for pick up orders, although if you do prefer to dine in, there are a handful of seats available.

Final Remarks

Mr. Empanada is a must try if you are seeking out the best empanadas in Tampa. If you have never tried them before, this is a great place to start as they offer a wonderful variety of options for meat lovers, vegetarians, and foodies alike.
