Breakfast Empanada with bacon and cheddar filling. The empanada is prepared ahead of time and then deep fried to create a mouth burning sensation down to the very pasty textured flavor filled core. It tastes as if sprinkled with smoked chili/paprika.  It's a combination of flavor and texture different from typical empanadas I've had but it's a combination that works to the delight of the tongue.  4 stars.
