Chilean and Saltenas fillings - yuck. Flavor unremarkable, potato’s with too much turmeric or curry powder. Hardly no meat. Pieces of gristle. The pastry was DRY!! I almost choked. Worst ever

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.

Dry tasteless and bland. Most terrible week old empanadas I ever tasted. Would not spend a dime at this place when there are better places to eat in DC.

Tucked away in the heart of Adams Morgan, I stumbled upon Julia's Empanadas and was immediately drawn in by its cozy atmosphere. Faced with a wide variety of options, I asked for the most popular choice and was thrilled with the Chilean-Style Beef empanada. It was filled with a delicious mix of ground and chopped beef, raisins, hard-boiled egg, onion, and olive, with a perfectly spicy kick. The filling was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors!

Reliable food ready in seconds when you’re hangry. Today I had the chorizo with black beans and rice, along with the guava peach for dessert. Affordable. Filling. Fast. Tasty. When you’re sick of pizza by the slice, cross the street; get an empanada!

No trip to DC is complete without a stop at Julia's. After having dinner nearby my wife and I grabbed a stash for our hotel room. Perfect snack for any time of day. The salteńas is a beautiful mix of flavors. 10/10

i had high hopes but the food was quite unimpressive. the chorizo empanada was just beans and rice and had no other flavor. the sweet empanada was interesting and unique but the dough was kind of raw. not sure i would go back. i really wanted to like this place and it was very sweet of them to give me a free sweet one along with my order since i arrived just before closing

I always go out of my way to stop by when coming up to DC either for business or pleasure. Always went to the DuPont Center location, but that closed because their landlord wanted to do something else with the space. Glad they’re still around though.

I've been coming here for almost 30 years. Now that I live out of state I stock up when I'm in DC. Baked, not fried! Counter service only folks
