Genevieve Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 A friend asked where to find Argentine-style empanadas. Not Julia's (though she agree's they're good), and not Bolvian style empanadas saltenas (which we have a plethora of in Arlington). No eggs or olives. If you know of a place, preferably near Arlington, please let me know! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Capital Empanadas food cart closed for the winter, but if they come back it may be worth a try. Facebook. Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 ziv posted about the empanadas at La Union. Based on lackadaisi's recommendation, I had a wonderful empanada fairly recently at Chi-Cha Lounge which has the same ownership as Guarapo (note the empanadas on Guarapo's menu). Aren't I incredibly useful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodeats Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Apparently, Panas Empanada (review) in Dupont is Argentinian style. One in Fairfax is called Il Bastone (FX Farmers Market). They're also hosting an Argentinian Festival on May 19! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genevieve Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Thank you very much, everyone!! Goodeats, I think your recommendations in particular are going to make my friends very happy (especially because the Argentine festival will be in Arlington). Boy, Il Bastone's menu sounds good. Don, when I emailed my friend, I told her where the recommendations came from, and that this was a terrific board for specific questions like that, as well as things like "I'm going to be in X place tomorrow with two small children, where can I get delicious but kid-friendly food?"

DC Deb Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 If you are ever up in Rockville, El Patio is pretty good. Family owned business, around for about 10 years. http://www.elpatiointernational.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
