The Empanada Place

The Empanada Place, 3811 Sawtelle Blvd, LA CA 310-391-0888, is a small little place off the corner of Venice Blvd, just west of the 405 freeway. I've got many-a-take-out from this place for parties and potlucks. My kids and friends love the Empanada Place and everyone has a favorite, there's about eighteen "flavors" including cheese & onions, corn, ricotta, eggplant, pepperoni, chicken, spicy chicken, etc. They also sell Yerba Matte, one of my favorite hot beverages of all time. My friends Steve and Kumiko, tango fantaics, introduced me to Yerba Matte. They hadn't me a bag of it, the metal straw and taught me how yo prepare and served it.
