I Love Empanadas — Restaurant in Wilmington

I Love Empanadas is a true hidden gem in the Cargo District. From the first bite, you can tell these empanadas are made with care and serious flavor. The crust is perfectly golden and crisp, and the fillings are packed with bold, satisfying ingredients. The sauces take it to another level—especially the Colombian ahi . They’re the kind of extras you start craving on their own. The staff is super friendly, and the vibe is relaxed and welcoming. It’s the kind of place you go once and immediately start planning your next visit.

If you’re in Wilmington and want something quick, delicious, and made with love, this spot is a must. I Love Empanadas lives up...

Great addition to the cargo district. I got the steak empanadas and sweet plantains and they were phenomenal. Made to order, super hot, cooked and seasoned PERFECTLY.

The little bits of steak in the empanadas were well-marinated and really tender. Breading wasn't too thick, side sauces were bright and complimented the empanadas perfectly.

The fry on the plantains was just right to get that sticky/crispy crust on them without overdoing it and drying them out.

we got the cheese, and steak empanadas both were so good. that steak is loaded w meat and has so much flavor. the cheese one is full of cheese and has an amazing cheese pull. the green sauce, pico de gallo, and the plantain sauce were all sooooo bomb. so much flavor in every item!!!! the person working at the time was super nice as well....
