Empanadas De Mendoza: Reviews & Ratings
Five Stars for Empanadas de Mendoza! Fantastico! I am always thrilled to see the Empanadas De Mendoza food truck! The staff are always super friendly and welcoming. The food is made to order is always cooked perfectly! The empanadas are filled to the brim and packed with flavor. The chimichurri fries are delightful and the alfajores are so light!
Unfortunately I didn’t take pictures of all my food from this restaurant, but it was absolutely amazing. But I’m reviewing this because I just tasted their churros and it’s by far the best churro I’ve ever had!!!! Understand, I tried this churro after having it sit for over an hour since purchase and it’s still the best I’ve ever had. I’ve been all over this world and had churros, these are the best. Luckily I got a picture of the churro. Oh yeah, they make really good empanadas too! Handmade, fresh, made-to-order!!! I’ll be eating here often!
Fantastic hidden gem! Empanadas are heavenly and the rest of the menu is just as good! Never had a beef milanesa before.
How LUCKY we were to be able to book this amazing empanada food truck for our work event! Every single person couldn't stop raving about how delicious the food was! We are so excited to bring them back for our next event! The team was extremely professional and kind! I strongly recommend this food truck for any of your events! Can't wait to have them back!
Food truck comes by our apartment complex in Del Ray, VA once every 1-2 months. Best empanadas I’ve ever had! Pineapple Chicken empanada is good, but the Spicy beef is unreal. Good quality meats and packed perfectly. Fries and dipping sauce are good too! If you see this truck, I highly recommend you stop by and get yourself an empanada!
I have been looking for a place that sells empanadas and this place does NOT disappoint. Almost every Mexican spot in the area has either stopped making them or doesn't offer them at all, which is so disappointing but this is now my go to spot. The food is absolutely amazing and is made fresh to order. The restaurant itself is small, quaint but very clean and the staff are phenomenal. I'm hoping they get more business as this will help them be able to open more frequently. 20 out of 10 for me, I recommend Empanadas De Mendoza!
Thanks to Empanadas De Mendoza, we had the most amazing food truck at one of our biggest PTA events of the year. First of all, the empanadas are incredible, especially the spicy beef ones. The dough is flaky but still super crispy. Their food truck was the biggest hit of the event. The parents were raving about how great the food was and especially how the kids loved these empanadas. We will absolutely reserve them again next year and even for other non-PTA events. Lastly, the owner is fantastic to work with. He’s flexible and more importantly, passionate about contributing to the community.
Ended up here because the AC was broken in the place we’d originally chosen for lunch. I have to say, this is one of the BEST accidental discoveries! The food here is fantastic and they make everything fresh when you order it. The chorizo is super tasty and I think I could eat the fries every day. I will definitely be returning and I recommend you try it!
