mariana palomo Distinct Fried & Baked Empanada Preparations
Empanadas are crafted according to authentic culinary traditions, frying cheese empanadas to order while batch-baking savoury meat fillings.
The cheese empanada was fried to order while the chicken one was baked. I liked getting a mix of the two different styles.

Gerardo Gotelli Cazuela
I've been craving Cazuela and, until now, have been unable to find authentic Cazuela in Sydney, Australia. It was perfect!! Good portion size, full of hearty vegetables and such a generous serving of meat.

Churrasco is a must.

Before you head over
Practical advice on seating times, ordering empanadas, and airport travel.
Arrive early on Sundays
Tables can fill quickly and seating can be limited, particularly on Sundays, so arriving early helps secure a table without a long wait.
Mix fried and baked empanadas
Empanada styles vary by recipe: cheese empanadas are fried to order for a gooey bite, while savory beef and chicken fillings are baked. Order both to experience both preparations.
Coordinate airport travel and parking
Located near Sydney Airport's domestic terminal with easy street parking, Pochito is ideal for grabbing takeaway or dining before flights.
