Almost 21 years ago, a Peruvian family recipe came to the Cambrian neighborhood with one big idea: make the empanadas bigger, make them fresh, make them with love. Twenty years later, that same dough, that same recipe, that same care goes into every single empanada we bake. We are so grateful for this community. Thank you for making Big E Cafe your neighborhood spot.
