Half Moon Empanadas
Finding it
Half Moon Empanadas is in Marketplace 2nd Level Departures by Gate D-29 in North Terminal at Miami International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
North Terminal has 51 places to eat and 60 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 4am.
Hours against the security queue
Across the week, MIA security runs longest around 5pm at a median of 16 minutes, and lightest around 11pm at 2 minutes.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's MIA wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Gate D-29 sits inside the North Terminal's Marketplace, the departures hall on the 2nd level where Lilly's Munchies, Misha's Cupcakes and Peet's Coffee cluster within a short walk. The counter opens at 6am, ahead of most flights out of Terminal D, and stays open until 10pm, covering the last evening departures without a kitchen close in between. There's no second Half Moon Empanadas elsewhere at MIA, so this is the only stop in the terminal for the brand's baked hand pies. Expect a quick, walk-up counter rather than table seating, geared toward passengers grabbing food between the escalator and the gate.
Other options in North Terminal
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
