Che Empanadas

Che Empanadas started with Anabel making empanadas from her family’s recipes for friends around Raleigh. Those friends began asking for them for parties and weddings, and the catering side grew from there. The empanadas are Argentinian style, baked, and made by hand.

The shop sits on East Davie Street in downtown Raleigh. Empanadas and desserts are served through the day, and the kitchen has been at this for close to twenty years. The ingredients are the part the family talks about most, and only the best ones make it in.
