Food is pretty good but pricey for entree. I got empanadas for a couple of times and it's like one of the better ones I have had. Pretty filling too. Might try others later. The workers are pretty nice too.

I had the spinach empanadas and Omgggg! It was soooo good! Also, I don't usually like sauce, however the spicy sauce was really good! This is a hidden gem! There was a lady working when I went in there. Super sweet and helpful. I am going back today after work!

Great food! Perfect that you can choose how much to get, if you're a little hungry you can get really good quality for 5-6! (Or just get more for a regular meal). Lots of empanada options, and, most important the lady at the register is always so kind energetic in a good mood, it really makes the place have a good vibe! Also they're fast. Try this place!!

Live around the Germantown, Rockville and Gaithersburg area!? Want GOOD empanadas?! This is the place! 5 stars for 5 reasons 1. Ordered 3 empanadas ( 14 ) and the best one was between chicken or beef! Flavorful and crispy! Fresh ingredients and just the right amount of everything! The steak and cheese wasn’t the best but was ok! SUPER FRESH AND HOT! 2. The price is a pretty good and relatively affordable! 3. Quantity is plentiful and 2 empanadas made me full. 4. Customer service provided were nice folks. Fast service 5. Nice variety of sweet and savory! They also serve full on entrees such as Loma saltado and more!

I tried the empanadas at the DuPont Circle farmers market. I thought they were all great, especially the Chicken and the Vegetable. I also thought it was so cool they engraved the type of empanada on the empanada itself. Will definitely go to the Gaithersburg location to try more out.

The empanadas were incredible, and it was an excellent idea for our breakfast. The empanadas had a good filling, great flavor, and perfect size. The girl who served us was very kind, and the unanimous favorite was the Cheeseburger empanada.
