“National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15- October 15) is a time in the United States when we recognize the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the group’s heritage and culture” Latinos are members of diverse communities throughout the United States. We have experienced tremendous growth over the past ten years, and we continue to grow at a fast pace. We are currently the largest ethnic minority in the United States. While Latinos have made great progress through participation in the political process, representation in the entertainment industry, and have shown success in most sectors of the workforce, challenges still remain. Latino leadership is a work in progress, and we must continue to inspire, empower, and prepare young Latinos to lead positive change in their families and communities. Empanada City invites you to join us in celebrating our culture, heritage, and of course - feast on our delicious food! #latinoheritagemonth

It’s officially September in #plg and that means #jerkchicken is back on the menu at Empanada City. Starting today, we’ll be celebrating Caribbean Carnival all month long by offering this #empanada flavor. All white meat, onions, seasoned with our blend of traditional spices - nutmeg, ginger, thyme, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper to give it that special kick.

Tomorrow, May 5th we will be celebrating our one year anniversary with the sounds of @afonsecalf from 6-7 pm #empanadacity. #oneyearanniversary #empanadas Born in Bogotá, Colombia, Andrés Fonseca started playing piano at an early age, but soon after he discovered his true passion for percussion instruments. After completing his studies at the Universidad Sergio Arboleda in Bogotá, he won a scholarship to study music at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. He graduated from Berklee with a dual degree, cum laude, in Contemporary Composition & Production as well as Jazz Drumset Performance. Since coming to the Unites States, Andrés has performed in major venues such as Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Apollo Theater in New York City; the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.; and the Detroit Jazz Festival, among others. He has released his own compositions with his band, Unlimited Perception, in addition to recording for and playing with many of his peers. Andrés’ unique voice--in both drums and his own compositions--blends the sound and tonalities of modern jazz with traditional Latin music. His work interweaves traditional, ancestral, specifically Colombian music, with modern drumset and its evolution mainly through jazz and contemporary music.
