"Kingfield’s hotspot, Boludo is expanding with a second location, serving the same empanadas and pizza that caused a sensation when it opened. The cheese-stuffed darlings arrive at the edge of downtown Minneapolis inside the former McKinney Roe location. Owner Facundo Defraia expects to open sometime next week. If all goes well, expanded hours, online ordering, and menu options are expected. Boludo began when Defraia was working alongside his longtime friend Daniel del Prado at del Prado’s first restaurant, Martina. On that menu were Defraia’s empanadas, a recipe he brought with him from Buenos Aires that caused a stir. People couldn’t get enough of the thin dough wrapped around savory fillings. Almost from the moment he opened Boludo, a tiny shop on Nicollet, lines formed, and they haven’t really let up since." - Joy Summers
