Hand-crafted Empanadas From a Family Recipe
Hand-crafted Empanadas From a Family Recipe
Malu's Foods, the Atlanta, Georgia kitchen behind crispy, golden-corn-dough Colombian empanadas rooted in family tradition, was named for founder Maria Lucia — affectionately "Malu" — the family matriarch whose recipes Erika began preparing at home before word spread beyond the neighborhood. Since expanding in 2023, Malu's has become a standout at Atlanta farmers markets and retail locations across the city.
Authentic Colombian corn empanadas built on the recipe a family made for itself before the world came asking — shipped nationwide on Goldbelly.
