Brand New Lokotas Argentine Empanadas in Tuckerton, NJ
There is a brand new flavor in Southern New Jersey and if you are looking for Argentinian food, then look no further than a new eatery in Ocean County to fill that void.
What is an Empanada?
According to the Farmers Almanac, "Empanadas are a Spanish or Latin-American pastry turnover filled with savory ingredients that are either baked or fried." Empanadas are delicious and have a nice savory taste. They kind of remind me of perogies, but are filled with meats as opposed to just potato.
There is a brand new Argentine empanada eatery that has opened in Tuckerton. It's called Lokotas Argentine Empanadas and from the few times, I have driven by I see lots of customers in the shop.
