Anything wrapped in dough is a winner in my book, and in my book, there’s quite a hefty chapter on the glorious street food, Empanadas. The beauty in empanadas is the slight differences from one Latino country to another. Colombianos love their empanadas deep-fried with red pique. Puertorriqueños like their bacalao filled pastelillos the size of their heads (not complaining). It’s time for the empanada to have the spotlight. After opening their hit food truck in 2009, the team behind 5411 Empanadas found a permanent home for their Argentinian goodies in Lakeview.
5411 Empanadas are giving the people of Chi-town what they want. Freshly baked (woo, healthy!), imported ingredients, authentic flavors on a budget at $2.25 a pop. Follow 5411 on Twitter for their food truck locations which change daily. If you’re too lazy to check social media, 5411 Empanadas deliver anywhere from offices to park benches.
