Overview

Known as the Empanada Queen, Irene Morales has been creating these Chilean stuffed wonders for almost 10 years in her Kensington Market café. Eat them on the spot at Jumbo Empanadas or take them home, and enjoy the fresh, home made flavor. One added bonus is that they can be frozen and when reheated, taste as fresh as if you had just ordered one up. Irene also serves up Corn Pie and Humitas (corn mixed with onion and basil, rolled in cornmeal and placed in a cornhusk shell). To top it all, Jumbo Empanadas also has a catering service. Reservation is a must, however.
