Impossible and Curry Empanadas!

It was late, and I was quite hungry, and found that this gem had two vegan empanadas options.
I scurried in before they closed and got the Yellow Curry and Impossible empanadas, and they didn't disappoint. They were piping hot, seasoned very well, especially the curry, and was a cheap meal. The two fellas that own it were super nice and our group enjoyed talking with them as we waited for my food.
They also had a coffee setup if you're craving a latte.
They also had pastry options, and of course bags of chips and other beverages to go.
They're definitely worth a try while in the French Quarter.

Pros: Friendly Owners, Vegan & Vegetarian Options, Coffee

Cons: Would be happy to see a sweet vegan empanada

Impossible empanadas!

Impossible empanadas and yellow curry empanadas! We got a box of six of them to go. They are a perfect snack while walking around.

Holy Empanola!

I had the vegan yellow curry and it was amazing. I went back later to get the Impossible, which was also so delicious. Nice employees, too!

Pros: Yellow curry, Impossible, Iced Latte

Vegan and Vegetarian Options

The food here is delicious but I feel like they could have a few more vegan options. The Impossible Empanada and Yellow Curry are top notch and yummy. What stops them from being 5 stars is that everything is premade (by them) but there’s no way to veganize anything. Even the salad is premade. On the other hand, what they do have is amazing.

Pros: Alcohol, Menu, Employees are super nice
