“It was literally hollow with just bits of stuffing on the corners.”
Arriving near closing time with limited flavors left, Roger found the baked empanadas healthier but less crispy than fried ones, with one nearly empty of filling and a spinach-and-cheese version he called just okay and a bit bland.
