Che! Empanada at 19 Kelley Square, Worcester, is a new place where you can find a little piece of Argentina.
Albie Alvarez-Cote of West Newton and Chef Roy Caceser of Concord, New Hampshire, opened the restaurant Jan. 6 with plans for a grand opening celebration sometime in late February. The business is located in the spot once occupied by Anthem Bagel Co.
Che! Empanada is a “dream come true” for Alvarez-Cote, who first started selling her handmade empanadas in Newton, hoping to open a storefront there. “I had a location but at the last minute the owner changed her mind about selling,” said Alvarez-Cote. “A friend knew that Roy wanted to open a restaurant and asked me if I wanted to meet him. We met and learned about the Worcester location.
