"A buddy and I had a taste for something different and we struck gold! First, the Empanada House was not easy to find. Not because it 's out of the way but because of some challenges the owner has with signage. It 's upstairs inside another restaurant with prominent signage (Sweet Octopus). But the point is, the empanadas are fantastic! If you 've not had one, it 's a bit like a Cuban calzone, but smaller. They have a choice of five entree empanadas (pulled pork, beef, chicken, pepperoni and Korean BBQ) along with two or three dessert empanadas. The pulled pork and Korean BBQ were delicious! Flaky crust and plenty of tender and flavorful stuffing. Not spicy, just tasty. A big eater might eat three but two were plenty for me. We finished lunch with an apple empanada which was fantastic, like a mini Cuban apple pie in a flaky empanada crust. Not a lot of sides on the menu. They 're not needed and the owner chooses to focus on the empanadas, and it shows. They serve plenty of unique beverages from soft drinks to fruit teas, and the very gracious and pleasant owner gave us a taste of their sake infused mango and strawberry frozen drinks which were equally delicious. Had it not been lunchtime, one would definitely have been an accompaniment to the best empanadas I 've had. The atmosphere is very comfortable and casual. There 's plenty of seating inside and two very nice balconies with counter type seating overlooking all the Duluth square action. Do yourself a favor while you 're in the square, or just take a ride as we did. Skip the standard bar food and overrated BBQ and try The Empanada House. You 'll be going back as we definitely will. Dine locally and enjoy!"
