Una Mas Empanadas folds authentic Argentinian flavors into new restaurant spot at Parlor
Expanding Silvia Herrera’s business from a food truck in Gardner to one of Kansas City’s most active and eclectic food hubs brings the Buenos Aires-born entrepreneur — and her grandmother’s 50-year-old handcrafted empanada recipe — to an even wider, more diverse audience, she said.
“Our empanadas are more than just food,” Herrera said. “They represent a piece of my heritage and the cooking traditions passed down from my grandmother. I’m so excited to now share them with even more people at Parlor.”
Una Mas Empanadas has already opened at its new home within Parlor KC in Kansas City’s Crossroads Arts District. The current food hall-style lineup at Parlor also includes Deez Nachos, Elephant Wings, Ladybird Taqueria, Mother Clucker, Slideshow Sliders, and Sido’s, as well as two high-end craft cocktail bars.

Una Mas Empanadas launched in 2020 as a food truck business in Gardner, quickly gaining a loyal following. Known for empanadas made with fresh dough from scratch, Herrera’s recipes combined her family’s rich culinary traditions, passed down through generations, with the culture of her native Argentina.
Her move to Parlor comes with the support of her husband, sons, and friends in the food industry, she said.
The new restaurant option in the Crossroads is poised to become a staple at the culinary hub, officials at Parlor said, noting it will be a must-try for food lovers across Kansas City.
“We felt that Una Mas Empanadas would be a perfect addition to Parlor’s culinary options, and it’s been a joy to partner with them since Day 1,” Herrera agreed. “The response from the community has been incredible, and we’re looking forward to bringing the flavors of Argentina to even more customers.”
