An Argentinian steakhouse (and marketplace) with locations all over Miami — Graziano’s is home to over 20 different kinds of empanadas. While Argentinians are known for their cattle and delicious meats, many of the empanadas at Graziano’s are vegetarian. One of the best empanadas is the caprese that’s stuffed with fresh housemade mozzarella and tomatoes inside a wonderful flaky baked crust.

A bakery known for milling its own flour is bound to know its way around pastries of all kinds. In Miami, if you’ve got pastries, you’re likely to also have an empanada or two on the menu. At Madruga Bakery, guests will find joy in the chicken empanada. The chicken is seasoned to perfection, folded into a gorgeous dough, and baked fresh daily.
