Nice upscale looking place and food is nice. Flavors and spices make the meal nice. Some places don’t fry empanadas and some do. Don’t serve food with so much oil. At least let it sit on paper towel to absorb the oil before serving. Churros were good.I’ve traveled to Mendoza several times for personal travel and many beautiful places in South America and other continents. Some cultures fry and don’t fry empanadas.

Located on the top floor of Galleria, de Mendoza has amazing cheese empanadas, a bit expensive at $4.40 per empanada, but definitely worth a try!
The empanadas are tasty, but unfortunately, they're fried, making them overly oily and unnecessarily heavy and unhealthy. As someone from Mendoza, I can attest that authentic Mendoza empanadas are never fried. The name of the place is misleading.

On the pricey side. It was okay. Not that impressed. I still enjoyed the food. But just pricey I think.

The empanadas were a bit greasy. Could have been the style, but it was a bit too much. The churros were amazing.

A mid-experience. Nothing particularly standout or special. The empanadas fell a little flat on flavor. And you know how something just tastes fried, nothing else... that's what I got.

What a great spot to grab a bite! I was visiting the mall and stopped by here because of the good reviews. I chose to go with the 2 empanadas with a side salad. The empanadas are on the smaller side but they are packed with flavor. I enjoyed them both equally. The side salad was great. The vegetables were nice and crisp and I enjoyed the vinaigrette it came with. The ordering process was seamless. There's a kiosk on which you place your order and the employees get to work frying up the empanadas. It didn't take long at all for my order to be ready and the customer service was good. The sauces that the entrees come with are amazing. My favorite was the aioli. I'd drive back to the galleria just to eat here again!

These empanadas seem to be handmade and they were so good. I’m glad I found this place because I don’t know any other empanada places around the NoVa area.
Pros: Food is greatCons: Asinine service fee is snuck into “taxes and fees” when you check out. You order through a tablet and can’t pay cash. Food is expensive.
Empanadas were good..pricey but made fresh and delicious. Kiosk order was easy.

I went here looking for their choripan but unfortunately didn’t they don’t serve them at this location. Got the pineapple chicken empanadas and was elite quality and taste. Price is a bit high though.

Great food. Empanadas are delicious, I have tried them call and you can't go wrong. Spicy beef IS. Hot sauce isnt really.Counter Service and Open Seating. Nothing wrong with that.

Pre-COVID, this food truck would visit near my workplace. Glad it was able to upgrade to a permanent location. Nice variety of empanadas. It's always hard to pick! Wonderful churros. Everything is very freshly made.

The food truck was by our place so we decided to give them a try even though we were a bit hesitant at seeing only 3 empanadas being $16.95. However, when we tasted the empanadas they were delicious and worth the price. The empanadas clearly tasted far more fresh and flavorful than any other cheap empanadas from the many food trucks we have tried previously which tasted reheated. We tried the spicy beef, bbq pork, and pineapple chicken. Spicy beef was my favorite but the spiciness packs a punch. The sauces and fries were all very good as well. Dipped fries in the chimi sauce and empanadas in the other. Highly recommend stopping by if their food truck is ever in your neighborhood!
