Argentine$galleria-uptown

The Original Marini's Empanada House in Houston is the Argentine family kitchen on Westheimer in Westchase since 2007 (1971 in Montrose), with 80 savoury and 39 sweet empanada flavours.

Signature: Beef empanadas, Argentine flan

Order: Classic beef empanada (baked, the original), the corn empanada, the dulce de leche dessert version.

Tip: Order half-dozen mixed (savoury) plus a single sweet to taste. The fried versions are heavier; baked is closer to the Argentine original.
