Wednesday, April 8 is National Empanada Day. Surely you already knew that?
To celebrate, Pollo Campero is handing out free chicken empanadas, one per person. No purchase is necessary.
You likely know Pollo Campero as a fried chicken place, but it also has traditional Latin sides like yuca fries, sweet plantains and, of course, empanadas.
Pollo Campero has four Dallas-area locations:
- 9419 Webb Chapel Road, Dallas
- 12885 Josey Lane, Dallas
- 1703 N Cockrell Hill Road, Dallas
- 1812 N Story Road, Irving
Shopping for empanadas elsewhere on this empanada-lovin' day? Our restaurant critic Leslie Brenner likes the empanadas at San Salvaje, chef Stephan Pyles' Latin American restaurant in downtown Dallas. (San Salvaje landed on her list of best new restaurants of 2014, in fact.)
You could also celebrate with a home-grown creation of your own. Here's a recipe for brisket empanadas.
