How boxed lunches work

Each boxed lunch has 3 baked empanadas, 1 side and 1 sauce, packed for one person. $18 per person.

Prefer to serve it buffet style? The same lunch on trays is $17 per person.

Every order is labeled, so people can find vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options without asking.

How much to order per person

  • Full lunch: 3 empanadas and a side per person.
  • Lighter lunch: 2 empanadas and a side per person.
  • Snack or short meeting: 2 empanadas per person.

Not sure? Order a little extra. Empanadas reheat well. See the full How many empanadas to order guide.
