These empanadas are wonderful; they are very different from the small fried fare served by the D.C. Empanada truck (it's a different dish altogether; the dough is completely different and so is the filling). I have ordered from this truck a number of times and have never been disappointed. The empanadas have a stew-like filling inside that includes the meat and vegetables, so they most definitely should be eaten with a knife and fork; this is absolutely not something you can eat with your hands. The dough they are baked in is slightly sweet so it's almost like a pot pie flavor. They also offer wonderful quesadillas so if you are opposed to the idea of slightly sweet dough that may be a better option. These taste exactly like the baked empanadas I had at a street fair in Tampa and I'm so glad I can get them here too now!

This one deserves a 5 star rating - Empanadas/saltaneas like the local shop we visited in LaPaz, Bolivia. The flavor is awesome along with them having the moisture I remember! The flan is to die for! Kudos to the staff!

ordered one chicken and one beef empanada. When i bite into the sklightly sweet, thick crust, warm beef goodness filled my mouth and dripped down my fingers. the beef was so yummy with slightly salty black olives, pieces of tender beef and lots of great veggies, that i had to taste the Chicken. Could not stop after one bite. I have consumed both and am seriously contemplating going back out to get some for dinner! Yumtastic!

I love these empanadas - they're like little pockets of stewy goodness - but I wish they'd tweet more often so I'd know where they are. I'm not venturing outside in the cold unless I know a truck I like will be there. Otherwise they'd get five stars.

The chicken and beef empanada were very runny. They literally dripped all over my work clothes. Also, I wasn't wild about the sweet taste. It was edile, but I will not return.


4 dollars for a stewy, lovely pocket of yum. Great salsas to go with. Perfect for a cold day like today.

Odd - isn't this really a saltena? That's what it looks like, and yes, it is sweet, how weird. I wanted something Mexican, and think this is more Central American. It's OK - I'm not going to ask for my money back - but definitely a surprise. Raisins in it.

What Did You Order?: Chicken Empandaa 

It really wasn't tasty at all. You pay $4 dollars for one medium sized, football looking empanada, whose taste more resembles a pie, and not a flaky crispy pie, a soft, doughy pie with a SWEET taste. It does not match at all with the CAJUN flavored chicken inside. At least they were kind enough to give me a refund. I couldn't choke it down.

Response: Kyle\'s note: I moved this review from a 1 star to 3 star based on the fact that the truck operator offered a refund and the customer accepted.
