About Modern Empanadas

Tucked into Hillarys, this takeaway counter fries every pastry fresh to order with crisp crusts and hefty fillings. Forget food-court warmers—owners shape each pocket on the spot, stuffing them with kebab and tangy salsa, rich beef bolognese, or chorizo with melty cheese. Save room for the sweet side, especially the Granny Smith apples folded with warm custard.

  • Fried Fresh to Order: Every pocket is fried to order right in front of you rather than sitting under heat lamps.
  • Eclectic Savoury & Sweet Fillings: Fillings range from savoury kebab and salsa or beef bolognese to Granny Smith apples with custard.

    Empanadas made fresh to order, the pastry is fried but so light and delicious. Generous filling. Friendly customer service and amazing value.

Before you head over

Helpful ordering guidance for your visit to Modern Empanadas

  • Expect a Short Cook Time

    Empanadas are cooked fresh to order rather than pulled from a heated display case, so factor in a short preparation wait while they fry or bake.

  • Ask for Spice Adjustments

    Because items are prepared on the spot by hand, staff can easily accommodate spice preferences or custom zero-spice requests upon ordering.

  • Leave Room for Dessert

    Save room or plan an extra order beyond savoury choices to sample their scratch-made dessert empanadas, cakes, and sweet pastries.
