Our Story
A Kitchen Tradition, Passed Down with Love.
Mama Empanada was born from something deeply personal. Juana Dias, our founder, grew up watching her Puerto Rican father fill the kitchen with the warm, savory aroma of freshly made empanadas. Everything she knows about the craft — the dough, the seasoning, the soul of it — came from him.

Mama Empanada does not have a storefront — and that is intentional. We believe great food should go where the people are. Find us at local markets, community events, and pop-ups throughout Central Florida, up to four times a month.
Follow us on social media to get real-time updates on our next location, dates, and any limited-edition specials only available at pop-ups.
