You Voted. Al Pastor Is Back.

Sometimes the best menu decisions come directly from the people who love the food.

When it comes to our seasonal menu, we love creating something new.

But sometimes, the best thing to do is bring back something our customers aren't ready to say goodbye to.

That's exactly what happened with the Al Pastor Empanada.

You Asked. We Listened.

We wanted to know which seasonal empanada our customers would most like to see return.

There were plenty of possibilities, but one flavor stood out.

Al Pastor.

So we're bringing it back for September.

The Al Pastor Empanada combines shredded pork butt, sweet pineapple, and juicy bell pepper, seasoned with guajillo and chile de arbol. Despite the bold ingredients, it's not spicy, making it an approachable option for anyone who enjoys savory, slightly sweet, and flavorful combinations.

It's a great example of what makes seasonal empanadas fun: familiar flavors can come together in unexpected ways.

A Customer Favorite Gets Another Moment

At MPANADAS, our menu isn't just about what we want to create. It's also about listening to the people who walk through our doors.

Customer feedback, requests, and votes help us understand which flavors deserve another chance.

The return of Al Pastor is a perfect example.

If you tried it the first time, this is your opportunity to enjoy it again. If you missed it before, September gives you another chance to see what the excitement was about.

And because it's September, why not make it a full seasonal experience?

Pair your Al Pastor Empanada with one of our new fall drinks, from the Golden Maple Latte to the Pumpkin Spice Latte or the unexpected Ube Horchata.

You voted for it. We brought it back. Now it's your turn to come try it.
