Belén de la Cruz Empanadas and Pastries

Atlanta, GA

Hi! I'm Belen de la Cruz, a passionate Argentinian mom and entrepreneur, and this is my story, our story. I grew up in Buenos Aires, where my mom set a beautiful table and cooked for our family every single day. I credit her amazing cooking and hospitality as my inspiration to prepare fresh, delicious food and to share the flavors and culture of my native Argentina. When I moved to Atlanta, GA, I obtained a Food Cottage license to sell my pastries and began teaching others how to prepare traditional Argentine recipes. My cooking lessons were a hit, and before long people were asking where they could buy my empanadas and baked goods. That is how the dream of Belen de la Cruz Empanadas and Pastries was born. With the support of my brother and the encouragement of my family, I opened our first location in February 2020 in Johns Creek. Opening day was a smashing success, with our empanadas selling out like hot, well, empanadas! Shortly after, Covid hit, and I will always be grateful for the community's support that carried me and my team through the pandemic. From there we kept growing, opening several locations around Georgia, including here in Atlanta, and expanding our wholesale and catering business. Not bad for a self-taught cook from Argentina. Everything we make is baked with love. Our Argentine empanadas are prepared with high-quality ingredients and no preservatives, with meat, chicken, cheese, vegetarian, and gluten-free options folded and pinched by hand. Alongside the empanadas you will find custom cakes made to order, traditional Argentine pastries, dulce de leche treats, and cheese and charcuterie boards perfect for sharing. We still teach the recipes that started it all, because passing on the flavors of Argentina is at the heart of what we do. I love our community of customers who continue to cheer for our small business, and I am proud that we have captured the spirit of sharing a satisfying meal with friends and family around a nicely set table, just like my mom used to do. We truly love to have you over. Come visit us, and taste a little piece of Buenos Aires right here in Atlanta.

Slutty Vegan

Slutty Vegan

Atlanta, GA

Slutty Vegan is the plant-based burger phenomenon that turned Atlanta into a vegan destination, and it all started with a food truck, a big personality, and an even bigger appetite. Founded by Pinky Cole, a Black woman entrepreneur who has become one of the most recognizable names in the food world, Slutty Vegan proves that eating vegan does not mean giving up on flavor, indulgence, or fun. The main Atlanta location sits at 476 Edgewood Ave SE in the heart of the Old Fourth Ward, where lines out the door have become part of the experience. The menu is unapologetically playful. Signature burgers like the One Night Stand, the Fussy Hussy, and the Sloppy Toppy stack plant-based patties with vegan cheese, caramelized onions, and the now-famous Slut Sauce, all tucked between soft, toasted buns. Add a side of Hooker Fries and you understand why people drive across state lines for a bite. Every order is made to feel like a celebration, and the cheeky names are just the beginning of the personality baked into this place. What makes Slutty Vegan more than a great burger is the woman behind it. Pinky Cole built the brand from the ground up, growing it from a single food truck into a multi-location movement with a loyal following and national recognition. She has been open about her journey, her setbacks, and her mission to bring healthier food to communities that are too often overlooked. That sense of purpose shows up in everything from the energy of the staff to the community events the brand supports through the Pinky Cole Foundation. Walking into the Edgewood location, you feel the vibe immediately. It is loud, joyful, and welcoming, with music, bold branding, and a crew that treats every guest like a regular. Whether you are a lifelong vegan, a curious first-timer, or a meat eater who just wants a genuinely great burger, Slutty Vegan meets you where you are and sends you home full. This is comfort food with attitude, built by an entrepreneur who bet on herself and won, and it has earned its place as one of Atlanta's must-visit spots.

Restaurants & Food in Atlanta: questions people ask

How many restaurants are listed across the Atlanta metro?

61 right now, in Atlanta and Avondale Estates. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.

What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?

Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.

Do restaurants in Atlanta take reservations?

Many do, and plenty are walk-in only. Some kitchens here are takeout, catering or food-truck operations with no dining room, so check how each one takes orders before you go.

How can I ask about allergies or dietary needs?

Call ahead rather than asking at the table, and ask how the kitchen handles cross-contact, not just whether a dish contains an ingredient. Small kitchens are often very accommodating when they know in advance.

Is it free to be listed?

Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.

How do I suggest a restaurant that is missing?

Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.

Know a restaurant we're missing?

Tell us who they are and we'll do the research. Nothing goes live until we've checked it, and we never list someone's identity without a source.
