About Us


OUR STORY

“Through the inspiration of a young boy in Santiago, Chile, a dream was born.
Juan Contreras developed a love of food, culture & community at the age of 8;
creating his own box cart on wheels to explore a local Public Market in the
heart of Santiago. His dream led him to the United States in 1970 to cultivate
his love for Entrepreneurship and to share his culture and talents.

While working in the 1980’s for a local manufacturer in Rochester, NY, Juan was
able to share with his coworkers the delicious Spanish foods made at home by
Juan and the love of his life, Maria. The demand for Juan & Maria’s unique and
flavorful Spanish Foods continued to grow until Juan realized that God was
opening the door to start his first Spanish Food business: “Juan & Maria’s Chuck
Wagon”, Rochester’s first unofficial food truck (or as Juan called it at the
time – a “kitchen on wheels”).

The Communities love for Juan & Maria’s authentic Spanish foods and “at home
hospitality” continued to grow until a rare opportunity to start a restaurant
location at the Rochester Public Market arose. Juan, Maria and their 5 children
sat down at their kitchen table to brainstorm which Spanish Food they would want
to showcase to the Rochester community at the Public Market. Maria insisted that
the Chilean Empanada would be loved just like it was back home in Chile – and
she was right. Rochester’s original “Juan & Maria’s Empanada Stop” restaurant
launched at the Rochester Public Market in the year 2000.

From starting off selling on average 10-50 Empanadas on a Saturday, to now
selling in the thousands; Juan & Maria’s signature recipes created and inspired
by their love for traditional Chilean homemade foods has grown into a Rochester
favorite.

Juan & Maria has been happily serving the Rochester community for over 20 years;
providing the “Highly Addicting Spanish Foods” for over two decades. Having the
opportunity in 2007 to send a large shipment of Empanadas to Balad, Iraq, as
well as to organize and sponsor several of the local area Spanish festivals,
Juan & Maria have remained connected with the Community over the years.

As Juan & Maria’s Empanada Stop continues to grow, they hold of highest value
their humble beginnings and strong Spanish roots that have contributed to the
God-inspired recipes loved by so many. In 2021, Juan & Maria’s Empanada Stop,
now led by their Son, Benjamin Contreras, looks to continue expansion in
Rochester. With “love in every bite”, we plan to continue enriching the
community with our Food, Culture, and Spirit.
