About EMPA511

EMPA511 is a hidden gem in Fells Point, Baltimore, serving authentic Peruvian empanadas. The empanadas are served hot and are absolutely delicious, with perfectly flaky pastry and rich, well-seasoned fillings. The Traditional empanada features olives and raisins with steak and a little chimichurri. The lomo empanada was delicious, and the anticucho one was also tried. Homemade sauces and drinks are a highlight, especially the lúcuma and chicha morada. The Chicha Morada is the same as Puerto 511's. The atmosphere is awesome, with nice outdoor seating and a quiet brick courtyard. The location is tucked in between buildings, so make sure to find it. The owners are warm and welcoming, and the chefs are very sweet and passionate—you can watch them making empanadas from the kitchen windows. The place is pet friendly and has vegetarian options. The customer service is awesome, and the meal came out quickly with sauce included. It is a nice casual-style place with quick service and great food. Don't leave without trying the alfajor for dessert—it's buttery, delicate, and absolutely incredible. EMPA511 is proof that some of the city's best food comes from its smallest storefronts.
