La Buena Empanada

Love love love the empanadas here! But the chimichurri is to die for! You have to get a bottle if you are here. I also recommend the spinach feta as it is so flavorful and the only empanada I dream of. If you are in the area you have to go here! The owner is super sweet and love talking to him and learning about his business.

If you're walking around Union Station, can't decide what to eat, look no further. These empanadas a deeelish. Service can be slow if understaffed but that's almost everywhere these days so know that if all the places in Union Station, here is one of the best places to wait on. You also have the option to buy cheaper by buying frozen and heating at home. While I liked all flavors, I liked the vegetarian ones the most. There's something about the sweet corn and the spinach and cheese that's just... chef's kiss level. Also the chimichurri sauce! Owner is super friendly!

While visiting DC with friends, I got to run around Union Market and try some happy foods! I decided to grab a corn empanada from La Buena empanada which was a fantastic choice! The empanada was fresh and warm with delicious chimichurri sauce. I was so pleased to get to have one and will definitely try other ones next time!

Wandering around Union Market, this vendor caught my eyes so I gave them a try. An empanada costs $6 each, which is pretty steep in price. I did their 3 Empanada Combo ($17), although $1 in savings is not much, but allowed me to try a variety of their offerings. My favorite is the Argentinian Chorizo. The Beef Empanada is pretty standard from other empanadas I've had. The Chicken Empanada has some nice flavoring to it with bell peppers, onions, garlic & spices.

There are so many options within Union Market, but this small empanada stand sucked me in. The owner is an outgoing man who pulled three of us over to celebrate his birthday with free samplings of empanadas and dulce de leche. Each bite tasted great so I ordered a classic empanada and a ham and cheese one for my six-year-old daughter. She loved it, including the chimichurri sauce.

Hands down! These are the best empanadas I've had. I tried chicken & beef. The chicken was really good but the beef was even better! The pastry is cooked to a perfect golden brown and served very hot. They also sell them frozen (I believe their 30% cheaper) to make themat home. If you like empanadas., you'll love these!

I went to Union market this past weekend for Ramen and discovered this place had just opened.Although I did not order from this place, the owner supplied me generously with multiple samples of delicious items. They were so friendly and conversational. Very down to earth and lovable people.Ambiance need not apply.The prices are excellent! See my photos. I had a portion of an empanada that was fantastic. I had two samples of soups that I thought were scrumptious. I also had a dessert sample that was phenomenal. I will back very soon to order from the menu! I recommend you meet me there!

As we took a little stroll through Union Market, we happened to notice a new stand and so happy we did! These empanadas were so delicious. So perfectly baked and perfectly filled. The flavors were phenomenal. Today we tried three empanadas:Spinach & Feta- so fresh and filling, perfectly balanced. Cheesy Chorizo & SausageChicken & PeppersWe will return, please never leave.

i tried this empanadas about two years ago when I first moved from Argentina and I literally cried because of how good they were. They transported me back to my grandmas house. Please if you have the chance to try them, do it, you won't regret it.
