Empanada lambada somebada stop me

Empanada, of all Filipino pocket things (like lumpia or fake Louie Vuitton bags), is hard to make right. What does a person have to do to get some decent empanada around here?! Good Filipino empanada is small and not packed with too much crap, just meat (usually ground beef), 2 kinds of vegetables, raisins, potatoes and has a crisp buttery shell.

I tried empanada from a Filipino store in Carson (aka the Daly City of Los Angeles where Filipinos have taken over). Their empanada is one of the best in the universe because they make my mouth basa’.
