Half Moon Empanadas - MiMo District

"Cheesy Gaucho Empanada Another place on 79th Street I pass by way too often: Half Moon Empanadas. They have a few locations scattered around Miami, but the 79th Street location is a casual walk-up window, where you can grab a six-pack of some really great empanadas to bring to the beach - or back home to your couch. I got a few (all delicious) but I really liked the cheesy gaucho, which has a list of fillings that requires a very deep breath to say out loud: ground beef, diced onion, red pepper, black beans, corn, bacon, mozzarella, asiago, provolone, and chimichurri." - ryan pfeffer, carlos c olaechea

Whether you're looking for a pre- or post-beach snack, or just need something to hold you over until dinner, this place is a good choice. We've liked every version we've tried here, but particularly the cheesy gaucho empanada, which has a list of fillings that requires a very deep breath to say out loud: ground beef, diced onion, red pepper, black beans, corn, bacon, mozzarella, asiago, provolone, and chimichurri." - Ryan Pfeffer
