Brava Empanadas

Argentine tradition meets Michigan hospitality at Brava Empanadas, a family-owned food trailer that introduced many guests to authentic Argentine street food for the first time. After relocating from Buenos Aires to Michigan in 2007, the Parra McCarthy family brought cherished recipes and a passion for cooking that eventually inspired Silvia Parra McCarthy to launch the business in 2019. What began with sharing homemade empanadas at gatherings grew into Michigan's first Argentine empanada food truck and later expanded with a Northville storefront in 2023.

Every empanada is crafted with handmade dough prepared fresh daily using quality ingredients and no preservatives or artificial coloring. The menu features traditional favorites like Beef, Chicken Portuguese, and Pulled Pork Potato, alongside vegetarian options such as Spinach, Mushroom, and Caprese. Guests can also satisfy their sweet tooth with varieties like Apple or Black Forrest, creating a selection that appeals to a wide range of tastes and occasions.

Brava Empanadas brings authentic Argentine catering to festivals, corporate events, private parties, and community gatherings throughout the Northville area. With fresh-baked empanadas, meat, vegetarian, and vegan options, and recipes rooted in family tradition, this food trailer offers a unique and memorable dining experience that brings the flavors of Buenos Aires closer to home.
