Located inside the DCA airport (need to go past security to get to them) they are on approaching to…read morethe B gates, no seating, just grab and go. I will bias my rating by saying my 5* go to empanada place has moved out of my local sphere so I'm on the hunt for a good place to go. I've seen this place before but never tried it so gave it a shot in the mid-AM hour. Not sure about hour or they have it all the time but they had breakfast empanadas available in their savory selection. Me and SO got a Bacon Egg and Cheese, 2 creamed spinich, ham and cheese, guava and ehese and a spicy chicken. SO said the guava was the best. The cashier said it was the last one and we were lucky but given it was the AM to me that meant they may not have necessarily what you want, be ready for that. Of the bacon egg, ham and spinich, only the spinich was good IMO. The other two were super dry and not good. I came away feeling not hungry but not full. *Without any drinks* the total came to $46.61. You may think that's just airport costs (and may be right) but at another airport later in the trip we got Jimmy Johns: large sub, regular sub and 1 drink for less than $40. I could not finish my large sub and had it for a subsequent meal. Anyway, I see several other mentions and pictures of sauce, we didn't get any of that and they didn't offer (aside or upsell), not sure if that's a new thing or just totally missed us. So my review is for empanadas only. My summary is if you need a quick snack to tide you, this may be a good place. But for the price and for the quality, I wouldn't recommend it and probably would not go back. There are plenty of other places not only B terminal but through the airport to go. Definitely don't go to the airport just for this ;) That said, the 'restaurant' was only serving breakfast so was nice to have a diverse option.

I ordered a chicken bowl which comes with a generously sized boneless skinless chicken breast, yuka fries, veggies, 1/2 an avocado and quinoa. I love the yuka fries. Perfectly cooked, crispy outside and soft inside and great flavor. The stir fried veggies are also really good, not overly cooked with lots of umami. The chicken is tender and not dry! The chicken is simple which I think is perfect so it doesn't conflict with the other things in the plate. They close fairly early at 7 pm. I came around 6:30. There was a large group and a couple of other tables and they didn't rush anyone out the door.

The spicy beef had a nice kick, caprese tasted like margherita pizza, and the fugazzeta was reminiscent of a white pizza--very good. The jamon & queso was delicious, with just the right amount of salt and a satisfying chunk of unmelted mozzarella in the middle. Both the fried and baked empanadas were great, but I preferred the baked ones overall. Definitely worth stopping by to try for yourself!

I love pretty much all traditions of empanadas, from Dominican Pastelitos to Colombian styles, but…read moreI'm somewhat skeptical of fusion empanadas. So I was happily surprised by the empanadas at Empanadas De Mendoza. I orders their 3 empanadas and side combo which included a traditional beef, pineapple chicken, bbq pork, and French fries. The empanadas rappers were light and crispy and the fillings were generous and juicy. The fries were nicely seasoned. My favorite was the chicken and pork. My only complaint was that the empanadas are a little small and a bit pricey, but I get it - we're in a recession. Overall it was a great meal and I look forward to trying their food again.

SCORE! I said although I've never had them, didn't even peek at them on Yelp :: GASP:: and have been spoiled by authentic empanadas growing up in the NYC area that I would still give them a shot bc I totally needed to eat some stress away and empanadas sounded like the perfect escape to do so. The line was fairly long for the truck but they had it running like a well oiled machine and the guy taking orders was super friendly which made waiting in the cold and dark totally worth it . I went with the 3 empanadas + a side so that I could totally truly give them a fair shot and see what they were working with. I opted for the Spicy Beef, Honey BBQ Pork and the 3 Cheese empanadas + the Chimichurri Fries as a side. OOOOOOOOOMMMGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!! Every morsel of these empanadas, those damn fries and the side dipping sauces were OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!! I literally devoured everything all by myself in under 15 minutes....and I am PROUD ! This place is legit and their flavors are magical! The spicy beef was spicy, the 3 cheeses were cheesy, the honey bbq was perfectly pulled pork like and those fries with the sauces were restaurant week worthy! I can't wait to try the other empanadas on their next go round and must say that my entire week is all better because of Empanadas De Mendoza

I googled empanadas near me and Franchesca's had the highest rating. I walked in and the environment was welcoming. They have a high bar/counter and about 5 tables. There were a few people eating, but there's plenty of room. I ordered about 20 empanadas. 5 of the shrimp empanadas, 5 beef, 5 shredded beef & potato, 5 chicken & potatoe. You can get the empanadas in either white or corn flour and they have vegan options. Your order comes with picante, aioli, and 3 pepper sauce. The sauces are really good as well. I got to my friends and the empanadas were a hit. Everybody enjoyed them. I'll definitely order from there again.
