Late night or midday, Julia's empanadas always taste fantastic. Get the Jamaican or Chilean.

Wandered in after 12am for a late dinner . Ordered the Salteña empanada (HUGE) and a guava/peach empanada for dessert . Yum! Small place, seating for 3. I was quite entertained by all the chatty drunks.

Edison Mann

Always consistently good. I have been enjoying these empanadas for many years and know of none better. The 14th Street location is closed (but remains on their website.)

Kasia K

a tiny hole-in-the wall place with fresh and tasty empanadas . Perfect for a quick bite . Cash only on orders below $10!

AJ

Small place to take and go really good, the chilean style empanadas are really good and the apple empanadas are amazing! Like.

Kayla Gail

SO spicy ! But delicious when you need something quick and handheld. Line looks long, but moves fast. I prefer chorizo .

Ebrahim Bandookwala

My fave is the turkey & spinach , although the saltenas ( with boiled egg ) and jamaican come pretty close :) :)

Joel Consolati

It's stew in a edible pouch. Tasty, convenient, filling, and hits the spot on cold days. Desert ones aren't bad either.

Michael Lucas

The perfect kind of food to fill your belly after a full night of drinks with friends.

Duncan Howsley

Really good for an inexpensive quick lunch or a late night snack .

Q

Great for a late night snack or to-go lunch . Grab the Chilean or turkey with spring onion and head to the Circle for some people watching .

Brent Bovenzi

Great for grab and go. Eat outside in the plaza or dupont

Yong Kwon

No frills. Just empanadas . Chilean was packed with meat and shell had just enough thickness

Amelia Friedman

Mini empanadas are also great for parties or potlucks.

Alex Orr

Great pastry shell but generally mediocre filling. Go with the Jamaican, which is delicious, otherwise, Chilean is okay while turkey and spinach suck.

The Feast

It's not the fanciest of places (and that's an understatement), but the Chilean empanada with chopped beef , spices, egg , and raisins isn't to be missed.

Jackie Wren

Luv luv luv the turkey spring onion ...great late night snack or quick dinner pre partying:)

Tony Aponte

Pulled pork empanada is great with the green hot sauce !

Geeta Razack

Geat empanadas ! the jamaican empanada is flavored but not spicy . Saltena with spring onions is also pretty good

Fawad G
