New Tampa spots to follow: Muchachas, Grassroots Kava

Empamamas may be one of the best food spots in all of Tampa. The hearty empanadas being dished out of their Armature Works hub are sensational, filling, and affordable. Yep, they check all of the boxes. Now, the owners are working toward launching a sister concept called Hola Muchachas — and we cannot wait.

The restaurant recently featured a brand new mural painted by Leo Gomez, a prolific muralist responsible for St. Petersburg’s popular “Sunshine On My Mind” mural. A full menu, and opening timeline will soon be posted on their Instagram. Follow it for all the updates.
