Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg welcomed Empanadas Alchemy to NuLu in a public message, congratulating chef Nelson and his team.
“Louisville, please help us welcome Empanadas Alchemy to NuLu! Congratulations to Nelson and the entire Empanadas Alchemy team!” Mayor Craig Greenberg
wrote in the post.
The concept traces back to earlier reporting that described an empanada-focused restaurant tied to the owner of Alchemy in Norton Commons, with plans to bring the idea to the Phoenix Hill complex. According to Louisville Business First, Falls City Beer's taproom was set to add an empanada restaurant in June. It is not clear from available information whether that Phoenix Hill plan and the NuLu opening the mayor referenced describe the same location.

Alchemy has a food truck and offers catering.
Fusion Flavors With Deep Family Roots
Alchemy describes its menu as Venezuelan-Mexican fusion, featuring grilled specials and desserts alongside other offerings. The company has also said it is developing a Venezuelan-style steakhouse concept built on modern techniques, framing its overall cuisine as Venezuelan food fused with world culinary traditions. Alchemy says many of its recipes have been passed down through generations in Venezuela, giving the food truck-born brand a family thread running through its expansion.
The brand also describes itself as operating locations inside the Oxmoor Center and in Norton Commons.
Greenberg's welcome puts Empanadas Alchemy on NuLu residents' radar.
