Empanadas Valrico is a Colombian takeout spot near the Sarasota airport, marked by a Colombian flag and run out of a small shop with no seating. Guests order at the counter, where the owner is known for a warm welcome and even offers cafecito while you wait. Diners consistently praise the golden, crispy empanadas as the best they have found outside Colombia, and gluten free versions of the empanadas are available. The simple menu also features coffee and Colombian drinks, making it a popular post-flight stop.
