Craving a savory pocket of comfort? We get it. Empanadas can be stuffed with savory or sweet fillings and are perfect enjoyed on the go, like a bagel, or as a sit-down bite with a green salad on the side. What you shouldn’t do is pay too much. You can get a large, handmade empanada for around $5 or a trio of the smaller, half-moon pies for about $10, if you visit one of these fantastic casual spots from San Jose to Oakland, Redwood City and Lafayette.
