Julia's Empanadas - Washington

Tell them you want the vegetarian empanada. The veg selection rotates, but it is always vegan. The selection of the day will be described on a board. Two empanadas would be a full meal, one is a good snack. If you're going on to the bars on 18th Street, this is also a great option because it's open so late.

I visited this place several times while in dc the empanadas were great, and they always had a vegan option!

A vegan empanadas option. honestly not very good, I bought two but ate only one. I at least ate something.

This place is so good and is a gem in Adams Morgan. I got two empanadas Chilean style beef. And chipotle steak. Both were really good but chilean beef was my favorite. The empanadas are large so you really only need one or two max. The chilean style beef has onions, hard boiled egg, olives, and raisins. It has a big diversity of flavors in every bite. It is savory and balanced well with sweet and salty that come from the other ingredients. A must try.The chipotle steak was a special item on the menu. It was a nice and spicy treat with great balance and a good portion size.As far as service they are very nice and quick. The only thing that you should know is it cash only.

I heard this place was a thing in DC truly not sure why. Hands down, the blandest empanadas I 've had in my life. The saltenas tasted like nothing. The spinach one was far more flavorful but was still basic.Also, the cashier was being colorist and/or anti Black by speaking to a white Latinx person in Spanish but not responding to my Afro Latinx friend speaking Spanish.
