It's because they were all fruit filled. I might as well order an apple pie at McDonald's.
agreed.... fruit has no business in empanadas!!

also;
If you are on the 400 block of Suriwongse Rd, Bangkok, Thailand and you walk down the block with the commercial Indian restaurant, being on your right....towards Silom Rd.....there is a fantastic Empanada shop on your right, halfway down the block on the right side. This is the actual factory that supplies other locations with this product daily. There are some very friendly ladies running this place....and they will even do your choice of mixtures for the next day.

I disagree mightily. I've had some bad meat-filled empanadas in my time, but few capable of being used for door stoppers, the best fate for some Cornish pasties of my kin. I suspect that most fruit filled empanadas of North America owe their origin to Cuban cuisine, and indirectly to some Spanish ancestor. I've seen a couple of sources which claim that the SAmerican meat empanadas are not even of legitimate Spanish heritage, actually fomented by "Other" immigrants from Europe installing vestiges of their own cuisine.
