DC Empanadas

DC Empanadas is proud to serve DC’s only mobile gourmet empanadas. Their empanadas are made only with the freshest, local and top quality ingredients. Each one is hand-made and filled with a world of flavors.  Look out for this food truck and you won't be sorry!

This was the first truck I wanted to hit up at Trucko de Mayo and for empanadas at $3.50 each, was not a bad deal to begin with.  The empanadas were piping hot and the "wrapper" was deep fried that it looked like a thick wonton.  The filling was plentiful and full of flavor compared to other empanadas I have had.  The Cubanito had nice sweet heat from the spicy guava sauce and the El Greco had nice tang from the Feta cheese.  I really enjoyed these and would love to try the other flavor combinations, as they had many non-traditional options.
