"This spot doesn’t represent a single country—but rather a truly iconic Latin American food: empanadas. They are beloved by most Latin Americans because they’re cheap, easy to eat, and make the perfect street food. But not all empanadas are made the same, and they vary from country to country. If you want to try a variety (to decide once and for all your favorite style), you’d have to trek all over the city. But at Charlotte Bakery, they solve the problem by offering an array of different styles and fillings from Argentina (baked using puff pastry dough), Venezuela (fried using corn flour), and Chile (square and baked with ingredients such as raisins, olives, and egg) all day long. You won’t find this much empanada variety anywhere else in Miami." - Mandy Baca
