They have a great flavor but it felt a little expensive for the empanadas to not be stuffed with meat instead of veggies.

I also recommend the spinach feta as it is so flavorful and the only empanada I dream of. If you are in the area you have to go here! The owner is super sweet and love talking to him and learning about his business.

Stopped in here on a whim- and am so glad I did!…read more The ambiance is so cute, and the service was very friendly. Ordered the pupusas and they were great. I also got one of their specialty drinks- their jamaica/hibiscus tea, which I gulped down in like one second and then came back the next day for more, LOL. One bit of feedback for the restaurant (which doesn't affect my rating)- the staff was very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and what wasn't. But it would be nice and easy if it was labeled on the menu!

As I was…read moreplanning to attend a food event, but instead I ended up here at Mpanadas and if you blink, you'll drive right by it lol. They have manageable parking space on a corner lot next to Domino's, across from Burritos Bros and Starbucks. As you walked in, it's a cozy place with a few seats and they offer a variety of options from savory empanadas, sorbet and gelato desserts; cold and hot beverages. There were 6 items order: 1) Bulgogi 2) Philly 3) Tangy BBQ 4) Horchata 5) Strawberry Lemonade 6) Chorizo. Each empanadas have their own unique flavors and they were delicious. Don't forget to ask for their green sauce to dip or pour on top to enhance the flavors. They also offer jalapeño hot sauce but don't really have a kick if you are a spicy lover. The horchata was delicious and the strawberry lemonade was refreshing and a little tart. You would order your food at the counter and they will call your number to be picked up. This family owned restaurant provides great service, comfortable atmosphere and very helpful in choosing your order. I would make a future trip to try other flavors from their menu.

I wasn't a huge fan of the name. The results, though, were what I'd hoped. Getting a combo with a…read morehorchata allowed me to get some refreshment in the moment and some empanadas for later. They had three vegetarian ones (one of which was vegan), so not a bad selection. My spinach and cheese one really delivered on flavor and I shared the others. The place had some dessert options as well. I hope they rotate the menu, as it would give me an excuse to come back.

Food Have not come here in years (RIP to Dupont location),…read morebut these used to hit the spot. They have a wide variety of flavors and the dough is soft and the edges a bit on the crispy side. Their rotating vegetarian option is also vegan. I think the week I went was a miss, it was bean and something crunchy. Missing flavor, but the salsa really helped it. Everyone who got a meat option said it was really good. They loved everything that they got. Next time I would better check their vegan option, but it is nice that they always have one ready for you. Service Came here on a Thursday mid-day and needed to grab food for a customer. The woman working was so sweet and happy to assist with me getting nearly two dozen empanadas and giving a nice variety. She labeled each one and gave me salsas and napkins. Ambiance A hole in the wall for sure. There is nowhere for you to sit, but these are portable little triangles so easy to walk down 18th or Columbia. On a nice day I would take these to the park.

When I got home, I cut both in half so that my husband and I could try them at the same time. We thought they were really good. The dough wasn't soggy after the 10 minute drive home. The edges were nicely crimped and plenty of filling on the inside. I'm not sure I tasted much cheese in the philly empanada. I didn't notice until I got home but the empanadas were of different sizes. The beef was larger. I wonder why. It was nice to be able to grab lunch while I was out at the farmer's market.

We've enjoyed all of his empanada flavors, and each of the different fillings is wrapped and baked in a different, distinctive shape. We keep going back to the beef, spinach-feta, and chorizo potato empanadas, but there are many other options.

DC Empanadas specializes in gourmet empanadas, but there were only four options to choose from (Divine Swine, Latin Beef, El Greco, and Speedy Gonzalez [all cheese]). $3.50 for each empanada or you can pick any 3 for $9. ***. Divine Swine (pulled BBQ pork, featuring the No. 5 sauce [smokey sweet] from BBQ Bus Smokehouse - $3.50): Empanadas itself wasn't too bad - tasted slightly sweet with crunchy dough. However, $3.50 is a bit pricey for one empanada and you will probably still feel hungry even if you get 3 for $9 deal. *** I will still stick with empanadas from Los Angeles (Tito's Market in El Monte or Red Ribbon Bakeshops) as they are both good and inexpensive.

Pretty good empanadas! I got the three meat options being offered that day: divine swine, el toro,…read moreand the badass. None was particularly impressive, but I WAS impressed with how much sauce they managed to put in there. For example, I really tasted the buffalo sauce for the chicken one and I was amazed at how Americanized it tasted. There isn't much service to be provided here, but it could really use a step up. The guy taking orders had a don't-bother-me look and never once made eye contact or smiled once. He's the same one frying the empanadas, and he does it without wearing any gloves or anything-right after he handled the money. Sigh.

The place is small but it was packed with folks enjoying food and conversation. I love the decor they also have lunch specials as well which makes it a little easy on your pockets. The empanadas are a little pricey but they are hand made with love so what do you expect, they are so delicious which make it well worth the dough lol.

Wow, this spot is worth the hype…read more I stopped by and got to try a beef empanada, tostones, and a espresso martini flight, which were all incredible. The empanada was decadent, hearty, and the sauce was delicious. The tostones were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, a bit soft in the middle, and served with a savory green sauce. The espresso martini flight was awesome! It included original, anise, and caramel flavors. My favorite was the anise, it was a unique flavor I hadn't tried before in an espresso martini. They also use real espresso in their martinis, which take it to a whole other level of flavor. The inside is full of colorful artwork, comfy seating, and a vibe that will keep you there for hours. 10/10!

But I started to feel better about my decision once the friendly server arrived and I saw all of the good options on the menu. My girlfriend and I ordered a bunch of dishes and shared. We ordered the black beans & Rice side dish, along with the following empanadas: Shrimp, Beef, Pork, Crab, Apple The empanadas are huge. Our favorite was the shrimp empanada. It was so delicious. The beef and pork empanadas were top tier as well. The crab was the big disappointment that keeps me from giving Empanada Lady 5 stars. Not nearly enough crab flavor. I expect every crab dish to be good in Baltimore. The black beans & rice was an excellent choice of side dish. The apple empanada was a nice dessert to end the meal with. Although with the empanadas being so big I probably wouldn't do dessert again. I will go back again and order the shrimp, beef, and pork empanadas. Maybe I'll go during the week and keep my fingers crossed that the music isn't so loud. It was good R&B music though. Amtrak to Baltimore: https://youtu.be/54yPGPqkc5U
