Behind every succulent filling and golden crust at Parguito Gourmet lies a tale woven with passion, dedication, and a deep love for the timeless art of empanada-making. It’s a story that stretches back years, filled with countless kitchen experiments, unwavering commitment to quality, and the unwavering desire to share a taste of tradition with the vibrant culinary tapestry of Miami.


What began as a simmering ember of ambition in the hearts of our founders soon blossomed into a full-fledged flame. Fueled by a shared heritage brimming with the rich flavors of South America, we embarked on a mission to elevate the humble empanada to a pinnacle of culinary excellence. We poured our souls into perfecting every fold, every delicate ingredient, striving to capture the essence of authenticity in each handcrafted bite.

The journey wasn’t always smooth. Countless hours were spent honing recipes, meticulously sourcing the freshest ingredients, and mastering the art of crafting the perfect crust – a symphony of buttery crispness and flaky tenderness. But with each challenge overcome, our resolve deepened, and our vision became clearer. We were determined to create empanadas that weren’t just food; they would be an experience, a taste of home, a celebration of heritage shared with every delighted customer.



And so, Parguito Gourmet was born. A name that embodies the playful spirit and dedication to quality that are the pillars of our philosophy. With every warm empanada passed across the counter, we witness the fruits of our labor unfold. The smiles, the satisfied murmurs, the whispers of “Just like abuela used to make it” – these are the testaments that fuel our passion and guide our every step.

Today, Parguito Gourmet stands as a testament to the transformative power of a single dream. We’ve gone from passionate home cooks to the premier destination for artisanal empanadas in Miami. Our commitment to quality, our dedication to tradition, and our unwavering love for the craft have not only won us the hearts of locals but have also earned us a place at the forefront of Miami’s culinary scene.

But our journey is far from over. As we continue to grow, we remain rooted in the values that brought us here. We strive to constantly innovate, explore new flavor combinations, and share the rich tapestry of Latin American cuisine with the world, one delectable empanada at a time.
