Great food shouldn't be this hard.
You love feeding your family well, but life keeps getting in the way.
No time to cook
Between work, kids, and life, spending an hour in the kitchen feels like a luxury you can't afford.
Takeout guilt
You're spending $50+ per order on delivery apps, and the food is never as good as it should be for the price.
Same boring meals
You want to serve something your family gets excited about — not the same rotation of pasta and pizza every week.
We get it
We started in a family kitchen, too.
Richard Porras grew up making empanadas at his parents' restaurant — Motivos — in Toronto. At age 13, he combined two competing chefs' family recipes into something so good that customers started calling them “Richard's Super Empanada.”
In 2019, Richard introduced his family recipe to the GTA farmers market circuit, and the response was immediate — lineups grew week after week. Encouraged by friends, family, and loyal customers asking for more, he eventually left corporate life to dedicate himself to the craft full-time. Today, while parts of our production have been modernized to help us serve more people, every empanada is still made with the same care, family recipe, and commitment to quality that have been passed down and perfected over three generations.
