    I saw another long line at this stand and decided to try it. They had a huge variety of different empanadas to choose from. We chose a couple and thought they were great! The shell was nice and flakey, but also not too thick. My favorite was definitely the classic beef, full of tender beef in a savory juice. Definitely a bit pricey but a cool stand nonetheless. Empanadas: Beef, Chicken, Masaco and Pizza

    I found out about this empanada spot by going to the farmers market last year. So glad they opened up a store in Gaithersburg! I really enjoy their empanadas! They're always stuffed with lots of filling and the shell is soft and fluffy. I have tried their chicken, cheese burger, and steak and cheese empanadas. Also comes with their house made sauce. You can take out or eat there (not a lot of tables/chairs). Service is good! Check this spot out for some lunch or a tasty snack!

    Empanada and Salteñas menu

    Salteñas in Gaithersburg!!!!! I couldn't be more excited about this. If you haven't tried a Salteña in your life, you are missing out. They are a Bolivian specialty. Basically, a hot pocket with actual flavor and made with real ingredients. Again, so very thankful to the food Gods for having a DMV Empanadas so close by. And of course they gave soooooo many empanada variations for every type of meal/taste bud. Oh and don't forget to try a Mocochinchi drink. It's a chilled peach drink. Really delicious. The staff were welcoming, polite, and so very thankful that we came in. The store was immaculately clean, clear with pictures menu, digital screen ordering option, and bar seating. A must try. Just go.

    They are located next to Marshalls. You can order at the kiosk or they'll take your order. I ordered one shrimp and one chicken empanada. The shrimp one was seasoned good but their chicken one was ok. Im not a fan of bay leaves being in the mixture. I had never had a bay leaf stuffed inside an empanada. The empanadas seem that they are baked, their shell is labeled with the type of empanada you're getting. It as like a sweet taste. I've also see that they have saltenas, I'll try next time. The ladies that work there seem nice. They are very small. So seating is very limited. Plan on taking it to go.

    I got a pesto and cheese and Nutella empanada! I love that the empanadas are stamped on the borders with what is inside--no more mixing up empanadas! Delicious, hot, and perfectly flavorful.

    I didn't get a chance to get a picture of the food, but it was really good. That's definitely my to go spot just to get something quick and fast. The service is great ambience. It's not that bad. It's OK it's inviting if you wanted to sit in, you could sit in, but mainly everybody's in there to get something to go

    "Beef" empanada filled mostly with potatoes.

    We received a notification from Yelp that DMV Empanadas have opened, so we decided to check it out. Ordering at the counter was very quick and amicable. Prices are higher than other empanada eateries: $5 for each empanada & $6 for a salteña (sauce for an additional fee). Disappointing flavors. The salteña tasted like made with BBQ sauce and it was very dry inside. The beef empanada was filled mostly with potato and a very small amount of meat. Will not return and will not recommend.

    We visited the DuPont Circle's Farmers Market & saw a long line. We enjoyed their empanadas! So good! Definitely a must next time.

    Beers and Cheers food quality is exceptional and the service has always been great! However, the…read moreaccuracy with my carryout orders has been an ongoing problem. For example, I ordered a steak and cheese salad, a sub without the bread on a bed of lettuce. When I received my order, there was no lettuce. When I questioned, I was told I should have requested lettuce. Recently, I placed an order that included four subs and tater tots. I requested sides of jalapeños and pickles. Prior to my husband returning home with our dinner order, I received a phone call from George, an owner, informing me that my sides had erroneously been excluded. He apologized and graciously stated that he would take care of me next time I placed an order. This evening I called, asked for George and spoke with Iyad, an owner. While attempting to place my order, there was significant background noise. It was very difficult to hear each other clearly. He repeatedly interrupted me while I attempted to place my order. Frustrated, I asked him to stop interrupting me, it was rude, and allow me to complete placing my order, then ask questions. A reasonable request. When my husband picked up our order, he was told by Iyad, something along the lines of, if the order was incorrect we may consider ordering elsewhere. BTW, our order was perfect and delicious.
