Empanadas with Caribbean Flavors Made in the South
La Jefa Empanadas in Georgia brings handcrafted Caribbean style empanadas, including traditional and vegan varieties, to life through founder Angela’s personal culinary journey. Raised in the South Bronx, Angela learned to cook beside her parents, inspired by her mother’s homegrown herbs and thoughtful approach to flavor. After moving to Georgia in 2010 and working in the music industry, she began making empanadas for recording studio clients sharing a taste of home that quickly gained a following and led to the launch of La Jefa Empanadas in 2016.
Inspired by her son Liam “Bowie” Washington, who was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, Angela built the business around family, culture, and advocacy. Today, La Jefa produces handcrafted empanadas for wholesale, catering, and homes across the country, shipped nationwide on Goldbelly.
