Yes, Cubans do have their version of empanadas made with ground beef, onions, raisins and sherry wine, they are usually fried but I have seen baked versions too which are called empanadas de Castilla. The most famous are the Empanadas de Guayaba (Guava) sometimes made with cream cheese too, encased in a puff pastry type dough. In Panama empanadas are very common, they are made with yellow corn masa and filled with beef, cheese or chicken, and fried. Then they are also lots of different types of baked empanadas made with a short crust dough and stuffed with savory or sweet fillings. The fried version is also prepared, with a dough made with flour, lard and water. I must add that the French also have empanadas - they call them "chaussons" and they are made with puff pastry and filled with fruit more often apples (chaussons aux pommes) and I have also seen them with a foie gras and truffles. The Chinese have the wo-tips or pot stickers which are their asian version of empanadas.
