Koko’s offers empanadas as part of a Caribbean-influenced menu, typically featuring a wheat-based pastry wrapped around fillings like spicy beef or other seasoned meats. They differ from more traditional South American versions with bolder spicing and a slightly heartier shell that fits into the broader island-inspired lineup. On the plate, the empanadas arrive with a crisp exterior and tender interior, often accompanied by sauces that add heat and acidity to cut through the richness. Reviews note them as a substantial starter or shared dish that pairs well with rum cocktails and other bar snacks.
