A fire closed down the Original Marini’s Empanada House back in 1985 after 14 years in business, but they came back after a hiatus and began again serving the empanadas that their customers love. If you’re unfamiliar with empanadas, they’re delectable little turnovers stuffed with either sweet or savory ingredients. Savory empanadas include a Beef Gaucho with ground beef, hard-boiled egg, olive, onions & spices, a Fugazetta with sautéed onions, provolone cheese, mozzarella & spices and Four Cheeses with mozzarella, provolone, cheddar and asagio. Desert empanadas feature the Banana Special with sliced bananas, cheese, cinnamon, raisins, dulce de leche & whipped cream, and Apple with Everything with diced apple, cheese cinnamon & raisins. Specialty sandwiches and smoothies are also offered.
