Meet Ximena.
If you’ve ever enjoyed one of our empanadas, you’ve experienced a little bit of her work.
She’s been part of this kitchen since the days of The Woods, and today she’s the hands behind every empanada that comes out of Cimera. Every morning starts the same way: dough from scratch, each empanada filled by hand, and the same care that’s gone into every batch since we opened.
There are some dishes you remember because of the recipe. Others you remember because of the person who makes them.
Thank you, Ximena(our empanada queen)
