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 came here to get my craving for Peruvian food satisfied. I drove by the venue which is across the street from my hotel. I saw the magic word Peruvian... say less! We ordered the classics: whole chicken, rice , fried plantains, mixed green salad, and ceviche. We had a cool Peruvian purple corn drink with its punch of spiced cinnamon flavor. I also ordered a nice lime forward Fresh Chicha Morada. Bothe these drinks are nonalcoholic but add a lot of fun spunkiness to the meal. Everything was proper! The chicken was tender, smoky, and had the perfect savory skin. There are two bottles of sauces at the table, but I learned that the traditional green and yellow sauces are kept up by the bar top for patrons to take whatever they need. I was so excited to try them out next time, since we already devoured the chicken. The rice was savory, colorful, and soft. The plantains were perfectly thick, sweet, and had the perfect little caramelized edges. The salad dressing was tangy and sweet that paired well with the mixed greens. The ceviche was magnificent and I could have eaten it all by myself! I wanted to save room for dessert... but maybe next time. The staff let me by a container of the Peruvian popped corn kernels that came with the ceviche. It has the perfect salty crunch that is so satisfying! They taught us about this corn kernel, the purple corn in the drink, and how they are both so different them American corn. I love the culture and history behind this amazing cuisine! Bravo!!!

The beef filling was flavorful without the sauce. It packs a wallop of flavor WITH the sauce. These were so good that we went again, 2 days in a row, just for these empanadas. I can't wait to taste everything else on the menu. The service was great. I am learning Spanish and after seeing their shirts that said, "Speak Spanish. Dress Italian. Kiss French. Eat Peruvian," I had to take the chance to speak the language I'm learning. So I ordered in Spanish and to my surprise he was speaking back and I understood him! *Proud Moment - Basking for a hot second* LoL! He asked me after my order was completed if I Hispanic lineage and I told him that I am simply learning the language to be able to speak it when it is needed and to be able to comprehend what people are saying around me even if I can't speak it as fast as them to respond. He chuckled. And I added that their shirts mentioned it so I thought that I should in the moment. We both laughed. LoL! It was a great experience, the food is fantastic, and the sauce is drinkable by the cup. LoL!

I first tried Ozfeka's borek at the 2019 Turkish Festival. Somehow I wound up on their email list,…read morebut I was intrigued by the rest of their menu. I finally put in an order this weekend. All of the food was delicious but requires some preparation. I ordered five things: 1. Cheese rolls - An order comes with 10. They come frozen, and you have to thaw and fry them. 2. Beef manti - Apprently this dish isn't available every weekend. You get a bag of frozen manti and you have to boil it, as you would boil pasta. You also receive yogurt and sauce to put on top. 3. Kofte - I think there were 10 in the order. Unlike the other dishes, I didn't see instructions on how to prepare the kofte, but I put them in the oven and they turned out fine. 4. Borek - I got the beef borek and spinach borek. I just put them in the oven to heat. This was probably our favorite item! 5. Eggplant salad - Ready to eat and really tasty. In addition, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a few complementary appetizers and desserts, including an entire box of Turkish delight. Again, all the food was delicious. Even though it requires some preparation, I like that you have the option to freeze some items and eat them anytime. For now, it looks like they only deliver on Sundays to Reston, Arlington, and Alexandria. But the delivery process was great. If you're staying at home these days, but looking for a new culinary adventure, try this!

Shredded chicken was all right (a bit dry, in my opinion), but ground beef and sweet plaintains were great. The beef one is my favorite by far -- very juicy and flavorful! The sweet plaintains one was pretty unique, both sweet and savory. The texture of the pastry was crispy, and the accompanying cilantro lime sauce complemented the pastelitos well. Only con is that they take a pretty long time to make (maybe 20 minutes?), but the vendor makes everything, including the pastry dough, from scratch, so I can't complain about the fresh quality. Next time, I'll try their empanadas, which look delicious. Great friendly service.
