Colombian empanadas in Tel Aviv? Until La Fonda opened, you'd have to fly to Bogotá. Chef Jhonny Hill brings the authentic recipe straight from Colombia — the same crispy shell, the same flavor-packed filling, the same ají that makes them impossible to stop eating.
Whether you're after a quick snack, a starter for the table, or empanadas colombianas for a private event, we have you covered. Come in Monday–Saturday, or message us on WhatsApp to pre-order.
100 % Corn Dough
Authentic masa de maíz — not wheat flour. The same dough used in Colombia for generations, giving you that signature crunch in every bite.
Fried Fresh to Order
Every empanada goes into hot oil only when you order. No pre-frying, no reheating — that's why they're the crispiest Colombian empanadas near you.
Homemade Ají Sauce
No bottle sauce here. Our ají is blended in-house with fresh herbs, onion and chili — the perfect companion for the best empanadas colombianas near me.
Colombian Empanadas — The Full Story
The empanada colombiana is Colombia's most beloved street food. Corn dough pressed thin, filled with spiced beef or chicken, folded into a half-moon and fried until golden. It's humble food done to perfection.
At La Fonda we honor that tradition. Each order of empanadas colombianas arrives crispy, hot, and with a small bowl of ají on the side. They disappear fast — order a few extra.
