We’ve found the perfect fusion of Latin and Pacific Island flavors at Johnny Pacific in Winnetka. So, grab your appetite and let’s check out this flavor-packed experience on this episode of Eat Live Love San Fernando Valley.
First things first, a hearty cheers to Johnny, the man behind it all. As soon as you step inside, you’ll feel the warm and friendly vibes that set the stage for a fantastic dining experience.
Now, picture this – it’s a meeting 20 years in the making. Johnny and his team were on a quest for a perfect spot, and they stumbled upon a little Argentinian deli with empanada shells that practically whispered, “Fill me with deliciousness!” Having survived on empanadas during his time in the Virgin Islands, Johnny knew exactly what to do. And just like that, the empanada legend was born.
But here’s the big news that’ll have you raising your glass – they’ve recently secured their beer license! That’s right, it’s now a one-stop-shop for quality street food and local brews. Empanadas and beer? It’s like a match made in food heaven, and we’re here for it.
Now, let’s talk about the stars of Johnny Pacific – the empanadas. Brace yourselves, because there are a whopping 20 empanadas on the menu! Five of those are sweet, satisfying dessert empanadas, while the other 15 are savory flavor bombs. What sets these empanadas apart? Quality. They take their ingredients seriously, using Chuck Choice Black Angus cuts and organic spinach just to name a few, to create these delectable pockets of joy. But it doesn’t stop there – each empanada is paired with a signature, in-house made sauce that elevates the flavor profile to new heights. Trust me, you’ll want to ask their friendly staff for sauce recommendations – they know their stuff!
Johnny Pacific isn’t just about empanadas. They’ve got island skewers that are out of this world. Picture tender Korean marinated flat iron steak skewers, served with an empanada, a scoop of rice, and a drizzle of their homemade teriyaki sauce. And if you’re feeling adventurous, the Indonesian chicken sauté with Southeast Asian peanut sauce is a must-try. But don’t forget the chimichurri steak plate, featuring two mouthwatering skewers, fries, rice, and, you guessed it, another empanada! Mixing and matching between plates and empanadas? That’s the way to do it
