Staying true to their roots from a small village in Argentina, Lord Empanada uses family recipes to offer authentic Argentine Empanadas and Chimichurri to the community! Lord Empanada was founded in Los Angeles by the Lopez family in August 2020, simply starting out as a popup selling Empanadas & Chimichurri at various breweries and street fairs. Their Empanadas and Chimichurri were a huge hit, an

d just a little over a year they were able to open a brick & mortar in Monrovia, CA to keep up with demand. Staying true to their roots from a small village in Argentina, known as Córdoba, Lord Empanada offers a variety of authentic Argentine cuisine, such as Empanadas, Chimichurri, Choripan, Matambre, Milanesa, and Chile Verde.

Back to reality!

THANK YOU to my team for absolutely crushing it and holding down the restaurant operations while I was away for 11 days, by far the longest I have ever been absent from the restaurant since we opened.

I feel recharged and refocused with the same fire and motivation I had when we were first creating Lord Empanada. Thank you Chef Mario, Rosie, Denisse, Cookie, Tania, Malinna, Rudy, Enrique, Naomi, Destiny and my brother Ty. I owe you more than you can imagine and I promise to continue being the best version of myself as a leader and a friend.

To those who tried contacting me while I was off grid, I apologize for not responding! 😂

Happy 91st Birthday Grandma Lopez!!!

Grandma Lopez is the OG living legend who laid the foundation of which Lord Empanada was built with her Beef Empanada and Chimichurri recipe. Without her, there is no Lord Empanada.

We love you Grandma Lopez and wish you the happiest of birthdays with many more to come.!!

This past Friday we were incredibly honored to be awarded Small Business of the Year!!

This didn’t happen because of one person, it happened because of my team who showed up every single day, even when it was difficult. Thank you for your heart, your hustle, your loyalty, and your belief in what we’re building. The long days, the stress, the sacrifices. You are the reason Lord Empanada is what it is today and this award belongs to you.

To my family, thank you for supporting and believing in me when I first started as a small pop up in 2020 to going full send with a brick & mortar in 2021. You were there through my lowest lows, the sleepless nights, the doubt, and the pressure, and you celebrated every high right along with me. I couldn’t have done any of this without your love, patience, and constant support.

And to my community, thank you for spreading the word, supporting us through every season, and believing in us. Your encouragement, loyalty, and love mean more than you know and we continue to exist because of you.

Thank you to the and for this incredible honor. I am grateful beyond words and promise to continue being a positive and influential light in our amazing community.
