Ryan Lopez was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. He created Lord Empanada as a necessity after losing his job due during the Pandemic in 2020. Ryan started Lord Empanada out as a popup in August of 2020, prepping the Empanadas out of his parent's kitchen and frying them in a portable fryer on the weekends outside of local breweries. He was fortunate to quickly gain a positive following and was able to open a brick & mortar on October 21, 2021. He and his team have been blessed with good business and fortune ever since February 2023, when Yelp named Lord Empanada #61 on their Top 100 Places to Eat in the Country. Ryan feels he owes all and any future success he has to his parents, friends, family, community and his TEAM. They continue to support other local small businesses and those who helped guide Ryan when he was first starting out by selling their products in our storefront and also promote their brands on our growing social media platforms. Without the help of his community, there would be no Lord Empanada, and Ryan is forever grateful.
