Tried their empanadas (Beef and spinach with cheese) which were super good but I saw the options for meat lovers that included chorizo. The flavor wasn't there, it was super bland. I tried to ask for more seasoning or if I could exchange the empanada but I wasn't able to. It really sucked paying $8 for an empanada I couldn't eat but my friends were able to enjoy the good ones!!

Two thumbs up for churros!Alexa's is a part of our holiday tradition in DC now. We love coming here every year. We got two plain churros and they were so good we came back the next day to get two more. Over the course of our trips we had three plain and one chocolate. Everything was delicious!

$3 for churros filled with a cream-like stuffing! I ordered the Vanilla cream and the Dulce de Leche churro, and they were warm, delicious, and very sweet! It's my first time having a stuffed churro, and I'm ecstatic I found this place on a chilly night. There was a crowd waiting for their churros, and they technically had closed their ordering already; however, I asked kindly if I could order churros before they closed their curtain. The worker kindly let me! Churros are my soft spot for desserts! These were crunchy but also had a very creamy, smooth center. Found this place at the Christmas holiday market in DC, but they're normally at the Eastern market!

We are huge fans of their spinach and cheese empanadas.They are very flavorful and huge. I also appreciate that they aren't super greasy or overly cheesy. We've gotten their empanadas numerous times and they are very consistent.Since we are vegetarian, we haven't tried their other empanadas but they also look delicious.

Alexa's Empanadas has become a tradition for me at the Downtown Holiday Market. There was a line for the goods when we went on a Wednesday evening around 7pm, but the line moved quickly (approximately 10-15 minute wait). At my latest annual visit, we ordered the meat lover's empanada ($6), Jamaican beef patty ($5), and a chocolate-filled churro for dessert ($3) - fresh from the fryer and filled to order! They also offer Bavarian vanilla cream and dulce de leche fillings, but I gotta have my chocolate.The empanadas are an easy grab-and-go meal to walk around the market with. The Jamaican beef patty was nice and flaky, but the empanada was less flaky and more on the doughy/chewy side. Both had ample filling so that they didn't feel stingy.The churros are the standout and worthy of five stars. The churro itself is a warm, crisp treat, with the delicious holiday dusting of cinnamon sugar without being overly sweet. As a chocolate lover, the churro is not complete without its smooth chocolate filling. They load those churros up with the chocolatey goodness! It's not the holidays without these churros!

Alexa's churros are very fresh and delicious!!!!! I thought it was a going to be an overpriced Costco churro, but you can tell that it was never frozen and not sitting out getting stale. There was a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar evenly distributed on my churro (Trust me...I've been given churros without any type of dusting). I saw them holiday market in Downtown DC, but have to figure out where I can find them outside of the holiday season.

Churros were gummy in the center. I would never order them again. Maybe it's because I live in CA and can get good churros. The empanada was just okay. The center was lukewarm at best. I would not eat here again.
