Since 2017

From a Charlotte trailer to Orchard Street

Felix Empanadas started as a trailer in Charlotte, North Carolina. From day one, founder Felix Godward wanted an authentic empanada with a modern, fusion twist. The lineup grew to more than 21 empanadas, and every one is still folded by hand. Felix runs it all with his brother, Ivan Godward.
