These chicken empanadas are small, golden pastries filled with seasoned shredded chicken and a mild cheese, baked or fried until the exterior turns crisp. The kitchen leans into a homestyle approach, keeping the filling moist and using a dough that stays tender rather than overly dense. Biting into one gives a gentle crunch followed by a warm, savory center, and they typically arrive with a simple salad or dipping sauce that adds brightness. Diners frequently highlight them when talking about the food here, treating them as a go-to starter alongside the bistro’s other Latin-influenced plates.
