A Worcester dining spot that features Argentinian food is expanding to the Boston area.
According to an article from Mass Live, Che! Empanada is planning to open in Newtonville, with a comment within the Village 14 site indicating that it will take over the former City Pizza & Pasta space on Washington Street. Based on the menu for the restaurant in Worcester's Kelley Square area, expect to see a variety of empanadas with beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and veggie fillings at the new location.
Mass Live mentions that owner Albie Alvarez-Cote had hoped to open an outlet of Che! Empanada in Newton previously, but the deal fell through in March of 2020.
The address for the new location of Che! Empanada in Newtonville is 795 Washington Street, Newtonville, MA, 02460. The website for the Worcester location can be found at https://www.cheempanada.com/
