Our Story

We’re a Latin family of passionate home bakers, building a new life in Florida—one empanada at a time. Food has always been our love language. Sharing homemade meals with family and friends is how we stay connected to our roots. In 2019, with a cherished family recipe and a little push from our hermana Carla, Denada Empanada was born right here in our Miami kitchen.

What started as a family tradition quickly became a family business. From branding to baking, everyone pitched in—near and far—to bring Denada to life. Our empanadas carry generations of flavor, perfected by the hands of our great-grandmother, grandmother, and now us. Each empanada is hand-folded with care, inspired by memories of home and fueled by the dream of a better future. They’re more than just delicious and healthy—they’re a labor of love.

The logo, the repulgado (fancy fold on the edge to seal the empanada), and each detail about Denada is handmade with intention. Every empanada reflects hard work, sacrifice, and the pride of starting over in a new place.

They’re not just healthy and delicious—they’re filled with memory, meaning, and love.

From our family to yours, gracias for being part of our story.
