    * Latin bakery *

    I passed by and noticed this little bakery which for some reason I've never noticed before.  I don't think they are new.  But I just never noticed.  Shame on me!  

    I did a quick u-turn and popped in to see what they had on offer.  

    I was greeted by a very friendly woman who was all smiles.  I looked over the offerings and settled on a beef empanada.  

    She asked me if I wanted it heated up, and I  said yes.  She then said, "Microwave?  Or toaster?"   I said, "Toaster" and she said, "Good.  It tastes terrible in the microwave, but you need to wait 8 minutes - ok?"  That made me chuckle a bit, and thankful I asked for the toaster option!  

    The empanada had a lovely browning on the crust.  Photo:  http://www.yelp.ca/biz...

    When I broke into it I was pleasantly surprised by the filling.  Instead of ground beef, which is quite common, it was whole chunks of beef which had been simmered with onions and spices.  Photo:  http://www.yelp.ca/biz...  

    The beef was quite tender, well marinated and simmered, and was infused with a nice balance of flavours.  Great empanada!  

    They had a bunch of other Latin American offerings as well, which I likely will check out on a future visit.
