You will not regret the tiny amount of money you are asked to shell out for these fantastic empanadas. It's a tiny hole in the wall joint (actually, there is more than one), but it's almost worth the 35-mile trip for us to come into the city! Sometimes, I find myself making excuses to make the drive in just for Julia's Empanadas!...

My friends and I were rudely informed that we weren't allowed to sit and eat our empanadas at the window counter despite the empty stools. We were boorishly told that they are a "carry-out only" establishment only after paying. The neon sign outside may proclaim their empanadas are "Baked with Love" but should state Served with a Big Side of Rude.

Exellent!!!! delicious empanadas, the best I have tried in the DC area... very fresh and exquisite. I dare you to find better empanadas in the area.

When we go to DC on business every year, we dine out with colleagues in the finest restaurants, but all we really want to do is head on down to the nearest Julias Empanadas. This time we brought some home and extended the pleasure. They travel well! The dough is so good I'm trying to duplicate it at home.
