About Us

We are a family-owned business with deep Argentine roots. Our co-owner was born in La Ferrere, a city in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, before migrating to Miami, Florida in 1989.

In 2023, we relocated to Tallahassee to be closer to family. During our many visits, we noticed the lack of authentic Argentine restaurants in the area—until we discovered the beloved local establishment, Empanada Smiles.

When the opportunity arose to continue its legacy, we knew it was the perfect fit. Today, we proudly operate Empanada Smiles using the same cherished recipes handed down by its previous owners, honoring their tradition while sharing a taste of Argentina with our community.
