🚨 GRAND OPENING ALERT! 🚨 Connecticut, go show some love to @empanadastheplacetogo SECOND LOCATION in Meriden! 🎉👏

This incredible family-owned business has officially opened its second location, and it’s all thanks to the amazing support from this community. ❤️ 

The owner told me there’s power in social media, and this platform has truly changed his business and helped make this second location possible. LETS KEEP THAT MOMENTUM GOING 🙌

What I love most is that the owner is always smiling, talking with customers, and genuinely takes pride in the food, the customer service, and the community he serves. You can feel the passion the moment you walk in ❤️❤️

They’re currently open weekends only:
📍 Friday: 10 AM – 9 PM
📍 Saturday: 10 AM – 9 PM
📍 Sunday: 11 AM – 8 PM

They’re a true community favorite, best known for their delicious empanadas, but they also serve amazing desserts and homemade sides like yellow rice, mac & cheese, pasta, and more!

🔥 Here’s what we tried:
🥟 Beef & Cheese
🥟 Reuben
🥟 Cuban
🥟 Bacon & Cheddar
🥟 Shepherd’s Pie
🥟 Pot Filler
🥟 S’mores

Every single one was incredible! 🤤 And the best part? Their empanadas are just 2 for $6, making them an easy must-try.

If you haven’t been yet, this is your SIGN! Stop by, support a hardworking local family business, and help them make this second location just as successful as the first 🥇🥇

❤️ Please SHARE this video so more people can discover this hidden gem, and join me in congratulating Empanadas On The Go on this huge milestone! Wishing them continued success—you’ve earned it! 🎉👏
