The idea for Franchesca's Empanadas Cafe came from the realization that there are no locations in the region where you can get empanadas. Being from New York City, where these Cafés are ubiquitous, we…
The Vegan beefless empanada was really good, spicy, and only comes with 1. I wish I knew that. The Vegan Pupusas with beefless meat and vegan cheese was pretty good. The Riped Plantain was so good and sweet.

I am from LA and am usuall sceptical of other states with Mexican or Latin food as we hAve some of the best. i was totally impressed! Best empanada (the meat is moist not try and i love the crust, not over cooked and dried out) I have had in Bmore and I loved the tacos!!! Thank you I will order from this place again. ❤️

We used to love this place, but it's not the same. Empanadas are busted, barely filled, and falling apart because they are terrible at packaging and bagging. They forgot one of my tamales, and the other one is the tiniest tamale I've ever seen. Literally 1/3 of the size they used to be and for more money than before. The Cassava Rolls were the only decent thing today. I won't be back as we've had issues before. It's a shame because this place used to be so good and we'd order often.

The snapper was okay, I think the plantains could have had some salt... I'm actually dispointed I paid 6 dollars for this white rice and it comes with only one meatless ground serving ( thought it would be four) but it tasted really amazing

This place is a gem with a lot of thought put into it. I'm going back for more and I'm bringing my friends! The Empanadas were perfectly proportioned and fresh. 10/10
