Where Southern Soul Meets the Caribbean
Where Southern Soul Meets the Caribbean
Comfort Foodies from Houston, TX, brings Dominican-style empanadas to life with bold, flavor-packed fillings and a golden, crispy bite. Created by husband-and-wife team Elsa and Jeff Matthews, the concept blends Afro-Caribbean roots with Southern soul. Elsa’s Dominican upbringing inspires recipes rooted in family and tradition, while Jeff adds a comforting, down-home touch. The result is a crave-worthy empanada that reflects both cultures in every handheld bite.
Each empanada is handcrafted with house-made sofrito and filled with options like slow-braised oxtail, seasoned beef, chicken, and spinach and cheese. Carefully assembled and frozen to preserve freshness, they deliver restaurant-quality flavor at home, shipped nationwide on Goldbelly.
