Laurita Winery Empanada Food Trucks

If you’re looking for a great spot to relax, sip wine, and enjoy delicious empanadas from food trucks, Laurita Winery in New Egypt, New Jersey is the place to be.

This past Sunday, my wife and I returned for another empanada-filled outing. Despite the sweltering heat—temperatures hovered around 90 degrees—we weren’t about to let that stop us.

After checking in at the entrance, we headed inside to cool off and browse the wine shop. Once we’d had a little respite, we made our way back outside to the food truck area—the real reason for our visit.

There were two trucks serving empanadas: Empanada Beast and Latin Bites.

Our first stop was Empanada Beast, which offers Colombian-style empanadas. I tried both the beef and chicken options. While they were flavorful, they were mostly filled with potatoes and light on the meat—not quite what I expect from a traditional empanada, but still enjoyable.

Next up was Latin Bites, serving a mix of Cuban and Puerto Rican flavors. Their beef empanadas were fantastic—packed with beef, peas, potatoes, and peppers. Definitely the highlight of the day!
