This place has seriously just downgraded with time. The price for an empanada is nearly 10$. Now, if the empanada’s were fresh and delicious I wouldn’t be complaining. But they sold me an old empanada you could taste how old it was. Probably was microwaved prior to being put out for sale. It was awful and soggy! I barely took two bites and had to throw it out. I’ve been able to find empanadas 2 for 5$ and they may be smaller but are delicious and tasty! Please don’t waste your time and money here. Just go elsewhere on the block get a pupusa from El Tamarindo or a slice of pizza from Andy’s!

Julia’s Empanadas is a gem! Their empanadas are packed with flavor, with a perfect balance between the savory fillings and the flaky, golden crust. I loved the variety—there’s something for everyone, whether you like classic or adventurous flavors. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. Highly recommend stopping by for a satisfying meal!

This place is a classic!!! I've been coming here for a league night snack for 20 years! Still as popular and authentic as ever! They offer both savory and sweet empanadas that always hit the spot!

Found a bug in my empanada. Genuinely one of the grossest things I've seen. As I was eating I saw something that looked like bug legs. I thought probably it would be some kind of spice but decided to pull it out to be safe. I pulled it out and almost threw up. Would recommend sending the health inspector here

$8 an empanada is ridiculous. They’re not that big or that good
At least it was served warm, otherwise very underwhelming… kinda mad I spent $8 on

I went on a Sunday afternoon and they didn’t have any meat type empanadas available so I opted for an apple pie dessert empanada which was kinda bland and a bit dry.

Says closes at 9:30 on google, 9 on door, but the past 2 weeks has been closed before 8 when trying to visit. Never answers phone when trying to see if open. Food is good but not good enough for this

Easily the best empanadas I’ve ever had. Cannot recommend enough. A must when in DC.
