More Than Just Empanadas, More Than Just a City
New York City is more than just a place—it’s a melting pot of cultures, flavors, and experiences. And just like the city, Titi’s Empanadas is more than just empanadas. Our unique approach to Venezuelan cuisine is inspired by what happens to almost everyone who moves to NYC: they meet new people, taste flavors from around the world, experience the energy of a diverse community, and grow from it.
Founders Jesús Villalobos and Nate Ramm, both born and raised in New York, have been shaped by the millions of people and thousands of flavors that call this city home. They honed their skills at the family’s well-known restaurant, Cachapas Y Más, where they learned that the best way to share their unique culinary vision was by wrapping it in corn dough, frying it to perfection, and serving it to friends.
Come visit us at our shop in South Williamsburg, where you can taste what happens when a couple of NYC natives pour their love for their neighborhood, their city, and all the flavors it has to offer into every bite.
