Empanadas Restaurants near Washington, DC

“Good portion size. it's a convenient concept if you need to eat with a group of friends with different preferences and restrictions. The place was a bit untidy after a seemingly busy day, but that's the only downside. I appreciate the outdoor seating and a spacious, clean bathroom.“

“Amazing customer service and so happy to see friends from South America! Great food and so friendly 🤍“

“Dc staple... a must to Sample the flavors of DC“

“I was very pleased by the quality and variety of the coffee and pastry selection, and the prices are really fair for this city. A couple things to note: (1) This cafe is located inside a hostel, so the sitting area is a bit more run down than some of the images depict. There are a lot of suitcases around, etc. (2) The wait for our order was relatively long. This isn’t the fault of the barista. She was very friendly and helpful. But there’s only so much she can do when she’s 5 orders deep and the only person working. I really felt so bad there wasn’t another employee to help her, especially considering the place seems to be pretty popular with locals and travelers alike.

I highly recommend the cro’gel (croissant + bagel) which seems to be their signature dish.“

“Anna was the EXCELLENT lady behind the counter and the one who baked our 36 little cocktail party empanadas fresh for my pick up. I called her 2 days in advance so she could plan. They were absolutely beautiful (design and taste). You should all buy her 36 package (you can choose 3 different fillings of 12 each and we did). I will be coming back here. I hope they don't ever close down. The Dupont Circle location shut down because I think the building owner is renovating so they had to leave.“

“Just went in to check out the food, and ended up ordering the chef's bowl (lettuce, rice, chaufa, pico, potato, guacamole and brisket. It was tasty. The brisket was tender and had some flavor. The potato could use a hint of salt, but overall, it was good. We also tried the shrimp empanadas, they were nicely fried, creamy on the inside, overall pretty good. The yuca fries were nicely fried, but had no seasoning.
They're very light with the seasoning, but I'd come back to try more of the menu.“

“stumbled on this spot, was blown away. absolutely delicious“

“Mi esposo y yo fuimos hoy por primera vez. Las atenciones fueron espectaculares y la comida riquísima. Esperamos volver pronto. Gracias a Rocio por tratarnos tan bien.“

“Peruvian Brothers has become a second home for many of us at Latinos@Amazon. Beyond serving incredible food, they’ve created a welcoming space that brings people together and celebrates community.

We recently hosted a World Cup watch party there, and the entire team was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. They helped create an atmosphere that felt festive, inclusive, and full of energy—exactly what you hope for when cheering on your favorite teams with friends and family.

A special shoutout to Ingrid, who goes above and beyond every single time. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine care for customers are what keep us coming back. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, she makes everyone feel like family. Every time I walk into Peruvian Brothers, I feel at home.

Thank you to the entire team for your hospitality, amazing service, and for being such a wonderful part of the DMV Latino community. We can’t wait to be back!“

“I'm in LOVE with the food options at this ghost kitchen... Not sure why some commenters are complaining about lack or restauants. To be clear, there are NO brick and mortar restaurants at this location. Perhaps Uber Eats or Grubhub isn't clear .... But it's very obviously a ghost kitchen when you pull up.
It's hard to pick a favorite among so many amazing options, but Tartara might just be my favorite. In particular, all the Venezuelan eats are delicious. As a brasilian, I grew up eating a lot of shared food and sides (with slightly different names) to Venezuelans. So believe me when i say, this is legit and you can tell“
