MENU
LOs CLÁSICOS
CLASSIC BEEF
El clásico! You cannot call yourself Argentinian if you don't eat beef empanadas!
CHICKEN
We marinate our chicken in a blend of spices and then add pepper, carrots and black olives. Our twist on an Argentinian classic.
SPICY BEEF
Beef empanadas with extra 'Aji Molido'. Aji Molido is Argentinian for "Wow, that's spicy!"
CHICKEN + CHORIZO
If you like bold flavours this is the empanada for you. Chicken and chorizo is a combo that never fails.
HAM + CHEESE
There are very few things in this life that are better than ham and cheese empanadas.
TUNA
This is actually a Galician specialty and it's normally made in the form of a pie. But we believe it works even better as an empanada!
SOLO VEGGIES
CAPRESE
Argentinian cuisine was heavily influenced by Italian immigrants in the 20s&30s. This is a homage to that - cheese, basil and tomato.
SPINACH + GOATS CHEESE
We all know spinach and goats cheese get on well together. In the end, these two make a great vegetarian empanada alternative.
CHEESE + ONION
Argentinians may claim queso y cebolla (cheese and onion) belongs to them. But we know it's British...remind you of anything else?
BUTTERNUT + GOATS CHEESE
The sweet roasted butternut squash with that salty and tangy goats cheese is just what you call a perfect combination.
OH SO SWEET
DULCE DE LECHE
Oozing with dulce de leche (caramel) and covered in cinnamon sugar. Need I say any more?
BANANA + DULCE DE LECHE
Bits of banana swimming in dulce de leche - doesn't that sound fun? We coat this empanada with sugar, as if it wasn't sweet enough already.
Alfajores de maicena
Alfajores are as traditional as empanadas! A mini dulce de leche cake - made with soft pastry (flavoured with lemon and whisky) then rolled in coconut.
SALSAS
SALSAS
REAL CHIMICHURRI
This is my mum's recipe! Authentic chimi is made with dried herbs (and no coriander!) and is tangy, flavoursome and a fairly spicy!
CHIPOTLE MAYO
Chipotle mayo is not exactly traditional, but we think it works quite nicely with empanadas! Give it a try if you like an extra smokey and spicy touch.
GARLIC AIOLI
A simple garlic aioli mayo can add lot of freshness and 'zestiness' to our empanadas!
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT
We make all of our empanadas in our home kitchen in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. Our kitchen is licensed by the council as a catering kitchen (see our safety rating here).
There is no special machinery in our kitchen, so everything has to be made by hand...which is actually a blessing in disguise! We can keep control of every process - from making the dough, to making the filling, to folding the empanadas. We fold every single one by hand, just like you can see in the video.
This allows us to ensure we deliver great quality empanadas. We are proud of what we make and we are truly happy when our customers enjoy the food that we make!
Why Caminito
?
Caminito is a street in the neighbourhood of La Boca, Buenos Aires. It's one of the most charismatic and important parts of the city.
It's a place where Argentinian culture comes together: empanadas, football, tango and local art! Walking through Caminito you will see the typical sheet metal house facades, all painted in different bright colours. You will also find art studios, romantic cafes playing tango music and local street food stalls with empanadas, asado (barbecue beef) and local Malbec! Just around the corner you will also find the mythical La Bombonera - home of Boca Juniors, the most popular and best football club in Argentina 💙 💛💙
