In fact, when we ask the opinion of our waitress before ordering, she steered us away from the traditional corn empanadas. The thing is, I actually liked the corn flour shell as much or more than the wheat ones. I think the dryness of this restaurant's traditional empanadas comes not from the corn flour, but inferior filling. With better fillings I suspect the traditional empanadas at this place could be as yummy as the contemporary ones made with wheat flour.
