  COCINA 54 made the first baked gluten-free empanada in the US. Our flavors are diverse and based on the unique taste of quality ingredients: from fresh vegetables to antibiotic-free beef. Each empanada is surrounded by a gluten-free dough blended with spices that make them naturally colorful. The end result is a flavor-forward, eye-catching, delicious, and nutrient-dense empanada perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. COCINA 54 made the first baked gluten-free empanada in the US.
