Love for food is how Empanada Nation started. Knowing that a lot of Ilocanos are living in Manila, a group of Ilocano entrepreneurs thought of bringing their culture and heritage here. Empandan Nation also wanted to introduce Ilocano food to the locals and showcase how it can compete with other food businesses.

Empanada Nation is a quick service restaurant that serves Authentic Ilocano meals.

It has been in the industry since 2010. It first started as a small takeout counter at Scout Tuazon, Quezon City until it grew and transferred to Sgt. Esguerra St., Quezon City. In the year 2012, it started expanding in SM Megamall, Urban Ave., Makati City, Pioneer and BGC.

What makes Empanada Nation standout, aside from its authentic and delicious food, is that you’ll find just how unique it is. In their menu is the special Ilocos empanada that is made from scratch and fresh upon ordering. Customers will be interested to see from its viewing window how these Empanadas are made differently from Ilocos.
