A Journey
That Started With Flavor
Empanadas RD began with a passion for sharing the comforting flavors of the Dominican Republic through recipes made the right way. What started as a humble food truck became a place where every empanada reflected family traditions, authentic ingredients, and the joy of bringing people together over great food.
Growing
With the Community
As the journey continued, that same commitment found a home in the Bronx. Local families welcomed the flavors, and one location soon became several. Today, we're proud to serve our community from four Bronx locations while also bringing our signature empanadas to Raleigh, NC, through our food truck.
Quality. Service. Flavor. In Every Bite
Everything we serve is prepared fresh with care, using recipes that stay true to their roots. We believe every guest deserves food that's flavorful, consistent, and made with pride. That's what La Verdadera Empanada means to us every single day.
