Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

From Our Family to Yours

From Our Family to Yours

Founded in 2021 by Rosa Melendez, Empanada Grill began with a simple dream: to share authentic Puerto Rican flavors with the local NC community. Starting with a refurbished food truck and the support of family and friends, Rosa brought vibrant Latin cuisine to life, quickly becoming a favorite at local events like Folk Fest and Summerfield Farms.
