The Original Marini’s Empanada House

West Houston is home to The Original Marini’s Empanada House, a Houston restaurant with a history of serving one-of-a-kind empanadas.

A host of savory, cheese, specialty, vegetable and even dessert empanadas make up the menu — an empanada for everyone! In addition to the variety of empanadas, guests can also enjoy Churrascos sandwiches and a variety of Argentinian wines as well as the Alfajores with dark, white or hazelnut chocolate filled with dulce de leche, all made fresh from scratch daily. The owners have had a Houston empanada restaurant since 1969 and have been in their current location since 2007.
