What People Are Saying

“I ordered from Nana’s Love for a “Friendsmas” and it was delicious my guest raved about it and asked who made them. And I gave them the back story of the meaning of her Name Nana’s Love and told them to visit her website. I let them know that she is apart of different activities that goes on in Rochdale Village . I will continue to support and spread the word about a great black women business.”

“I first tried Nana's Love chicken empanadas at an event, and I’ve been hooked ever since! They’re consistently delicious—perfectly seasoned, fresh, and impossible to eat just one. I place orders throughout the year because they’re always a hit in my house. My son absolutely devours them and can easily polish off a dozen by himself. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing empanadas!”.

“The food at nanas’ love is really outstanding! Every meal we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The ingredients are so fresh, and the taste is out of this world. I really suggest the Shrimp Empanadas and chicken empanadas. Some of the most delicious food I've eaten!”
