    Recently visited the new Amazon HQ location for an opening reception. The space is quaint and clean with a beautiful handpainted mural on the wall. The front facing windows bring so much light into the space and the seating near the windows makes for great people watching. The restaurant is known for its empanadas which are great and I tried the quinoa salad (light and left a little to be desired), chicharron sandwich (good), ceviche (light and flavorful), fried plantains (good!) and the yummy pico sour. I would definitely visit for lunch while enjoying National Landing area and can provide a more comprehensive menu review on my next visit! You can order for pickup or eat inside.

    Prove of my purchase!!!

    very dissapounted of peruvian chicken!!!! please make sure before you buy. definitely nando's is the best, since their flavor is not a peruvian taste!!! a lot of cumin and "aji especial" ceviche taste like socking onion on fake lemon juice!!!! better go to pisco and nazca o somewhere. very sad the brand name doesn't taste as peruvian at all!!!! the sauce is full of mayo as well thats not oeruvian sauce atemoanathe emempanada the pastry is the only thing good and yuka. sluslushie pisco sour bad chicha morada full of water and sugar nothing taste as chchicha

    Quick stop to try out this empanada spot. Will they be better than Julia's empanadas? Stay tuned for my review.

    Ok so I really do hate to compare empanda to emoanada but...I'm gonna do it anyway. And I'm gonna use my all time favorite DC empanada spot, Julia's Empanadas as my litmus test. This way, you know why my review sounds the way it probably will. Idk vuz I haven't written it yet. Here it goes... It's alright. Yeah...the bread is tasty and has that flaky buttery texture. But I tried the 2 for $10 deal and got the beef and chicken empanada with a Truly blueberry & acai hard cider. (The 12 mile bike ride home will be fun) I really had high hopes since the previous reviews gave it 4 stars and there were other people sitting outside to enjoy the good and amazing 84 degree weather. But...the chicken was dry. There. I said it. If it wasn't for the lime and the sauce...I might have choked on it. The beef made up for the chicken because it wasn't as dry and had a nice flavor. They were pretty much all meat and seasoning. Very little to no veggies. So, if you're a ravaging carnivore empanada eater then enjoy! Get a drink cuz it's dry like most chicken can be when over cooked. These are pre-made and sitting in a glass surround heater. So.. they'll most likely be dry any time of the day. I had mine for dinner at 530p. I'm glad I tried it cuz I needed a little fuel to get me home. But...might just have to try their other menu items like the cevice. Oh...and the mosquitoes are a problem. Please Arlington...do something about the mosquitoes. Ever heard of West Nile? Signing off.

    The best Peruvian food around! My favorite is the empanadas--they're amazing! Plenty of great options for vegetarians too!

    Ceviche was so fresh! Lomo Saltado tasted like it was made in Lima. Empanadas were also so delicious.

    Very nice concept! Fusion Vietnamese food, pick up or if the weather is nice you can eat outside…read moreeither at the few seats they place at their outside counter or at the "Water Park". If you work in the area this could be your favorite lunch spot! I only wanted to try their unique items so this time I tried the Oxtail Banh Mi Cheesesteak and next time I want to try the Brisket BanhMi Cheesesteak! Also my eyes are on the Supreme Pho which has a lot of meat in it! It's pricey for a sandwich but also I've enjoyed it to the max and I have no regrets. I'm also not aware at all with the Oxtail price, however I know that while it could look cheap, it doesn't give you a lot of near per piece! The sandwich also comes with a little cup of Pho to dip in or sip on! I won't deduct stars but they need to have Pho spoons!! They gave me a regular one and they need to construct the sandwich better so it doesn't become very soggy and messy ! Again! I've enjoyed it to the max! It needs to be more solid/crispy and then we use the pho at our convenience to dip in and get it softer by the bite! I hope the management can think about that! It was a flavor bomb and an amazing fusion fusion Try it, vote for the review , message me, or compliment me with any comment or question, and don't forget to ...

I self-ordered a regular rib eye pho at the counter and it took awhile for my order to be ready for pickup. As for the pho itself, it was...okay. I'm a pho enthusiastic and had been spoiled by great pho from where I'm from so this is subpar by comparison. It feels like an non-authentic take on pho (I mean, they are supposed to be fusion?). The broth feels like it's the powder we get from the store without actually using beef bone in the broth. Other than the wait time, no issues with the staff. The ambience of the Water Park and the weather was perfect for outdoor seating.

    Who was Weenie Beenie and what is it like? We had no idea but we knew they were one of the first,…read moreif not the first, to serve the legendary half-smoke sausages only available in DC. The visit was unique, the story is unique and the food is unique! Let's do this! Established in 1950 or 1954 (reports vary but the sign on the building says 1954), Weenie Beenie was a modest hot dog stand serving hot dogs and beans. It was started by two brothers, Carl and Bill Staton. Bill happened to be an incredible and ultimately famous traveling pool player who went by the name... you guessed it... Weenie Beenie! He won 27k in Arkansas (which is a LOT of money in the 1950's) and used the money to finance the hot dog stand's growth! He appeared on television, played hustlers across the country, and backed other hustlers while living the pool and entrepreneur life. During the 50's, a period of entrenched segregation in Virginia, Weenie Beenie distinguished itself by hiring black employees on the same terms as whites when most white‑owned businesses would not hire blacks at all. This made Weenie Beenie a rare example of early workplace integration in Arlington and a meaningful employer within the historically Black Green Valley community. Its reputation for fairness became a very important part of its legacy, remembered along with the food and its very colorful founder. We popped over and found a 70+ year old walk-up stand with a colorful, diverse and engaging set of customers and friendly service. In faded letters on the front wall to the left are the 10 commandments! No breaking any divine rules at Weenie Beenie's! We all chatted and I learned the one guy comes every day! The old man in the suit was very polite and reserved. The younger Latin and black clientele were fun and engaging and we joked around quite a bit. Another older man was as 38-year veteran of the armed service! Thank you sir! I heard some stories... Of course, we ordered half-smokes! They are well-seasoned half-pork, half beef, smoked sausages that are truly incredible. Weenie Beenie's are unique and delicious! Life is good with a historic, unique, fun and respectful half smoke.

I will bias my rating by saying my 5* go to empanada place has moved out of my local sphere so I'm on the hunt for a good place to go. I've seen this place before but never tried it so gave it a shot in the mid-AM hour. Not sure about hour or they have it all the time but they had breakfast empanadas available in their savory selection. Me and SO got a Bacon Egg and Cheese, 2 creamed spinich, ham and cheese, guava and ehese and a spicy chicken. SO said the guava was the best. The cashier said it was the last one and we were lucky but given it was the AM to me that meant they may not have necessarily what you want, be ready for that. Of the bacon egg, ham and spinich, only the spinich was good IMO. The other two were super dry and not good. I came away feeling not hungry but not full. *Without any drinks* the total came to $46.61. You may think that's just airport costs (and may be right) but at another airport later in the trip we got Jimmy Johns: large sub, regular sub and 1 drink for less than $40. I could not finish my large sub and had it for a subsequent meal. Anyway, I see several other mentions and pictures of sauce, we didn't get any of that and they didn't offer (aside or upsell), not sure if that's a new thing or just totally missed us. So my review is for empanadas only. My summary is if you need a quick snack to tide you, this may be a good place. But for the price and for the quality, I wouldn't recommend it and probably would not go back. There are plenty of other places not only B terminal but through the airport to go. Definitely don't go to the airport just for this ;) That said, the 'restaurant' was only serving breakfast so was nice to have a diverse option.
