Our Story

Born from a
family recipe

Empanada Joe's started the way the best things do — in a home kitchen, with a recipe that wouldn't quit. What began as weekend gatherings for friends and family turned into something bigger when people kept showing up at the door asking, "When are you opening for real?"

Today, every empanada at Joe's is still made the same way: by hand, with real ingredients, and with the kind of care that only comes from treating food like family. We source locally whenever we can, fold each pocket by eye, and fry to order so you always get that first-bite crunch.

We're proud to be a neighborhood spot on N Wilson Rd — the kind of place where regulars know your name and your order before you do.

Loved by neighbors

Don't take our word for it — here's what Columbus has been saying.

"These are hands down the best empanadas I've had in Columbus. The crust is perfectly crispy and the beef filling is loaded with flavor. I come here every week now."

Regular customer

"The churro sweet empanada is insane. I didn't know empanadas could be a dessert — now I'm obsessed. The chocolate inside is perfectly gooey."

D

David T.

"Finally, a spot in Columbus that does empanadas right. The corn and pepper one is my go-to, and the service here is always warm and friendly."
