I actually got treated to these by a friend. I buy her food when we head out to a restaurant, so she did so this time. I took this picture from the 2023 Festival del Rio Anacostia (Anacostia River Festival in Bladensburg, MD.These are the best empanadas I've probably had! I had the beef and chicken ones. Crispy crunchy shell and flavorful stuffing.The line was long at some points in the afternoon. So it had a popular turn out.I may head to the festival if the entrance is better handled because it's infamous it's HARD to access the part because there's no turn light and several lanes to pass to turn into the park (coming from across the street.
This is my kinda place: family owned, friendly service, and tasty dishes cooked with attention to detail. Probably the best Dominican food I've had in our county. The beef empanada was flakey and crisp without being dry, and the yucca was similarly done lightly fried without being either too greasy or too dry. Near perfect. Hot bar with several choices of different fried rice, beef stew, chicken stew, catfish, oxtail, etc. The chicken stew was fantastic: flavorful without being too spicy or overwhelming. I plan on going back and trying everything on the menu!
My coworker from the Dominican recommended this place and I'm glad he did. I travel to the Dominican every 3 or 4 months and developed a craving for chicaronne's. I kept it simple and just ordered the chicaronne with yuca and onions, this was the most tender yuca I've ever had and the meat was delicious. the only thing missing was an ice cold Presidente light beer. I'll definitely be returning in the future.
I agree food is excellent and fresh. The salad and uuuffff the chicharron was crisp and crunchy and juicy. The was rice and the empanadas all so good. You need to try it. Best in the area. And I’m from Jersey so it took me back home. Food: 5
