Empanadas are excellent, no lie some of the best around the area. Its a nice clean, quiet, new location with a small inside to eat in that’s easy to get in and out of fast. Have several different options from beef, chicken, veggie and breakfast empanadas and all Ive tried have been delicious.

If you are looking for a quality quick bite… just go there… super delicious and very authentic Argentine empanadas. Place was fairly quiet at the time of my visit I was able to get a bunch of different flavors and the ones that were not in the display were baked in minutes as you wanted them.

I mean, the place smells nice but when they run out of food and tell you it will be 7-10 minutes for your order to be ready and 30 go by and the lobby is filling up with people waiting for their orders and the HS staff makes excuses about getting deliveries at lunch time … well, not the best experience. I understand it’s a new joint but they don’t have their act together. Give them some time. Food is good, although not made on site. They do prompt you to tip at checkout, which is awkward when the service is poor after the fact.

Hidden Gem in Purcellville. They have a simple menu with nice display. The owner is nice and accommodating. Most importantly, the empanadas are delicious at an affordable price.

The empanadas are very good, some interesting combos. Great place for vegetarians – I’m *not* vegetarian and I think several of their meatless options are even better than the ones with meat in them. (They’re *all* very good though. Be sure to try the dessert options!)

Counter service meat pies. This place is clean and neat, with a reasonable amount of indoor seating and two outdoor tables that are shady at lunchtime in summer. I was put off by the fact that I placed my order “for here” and was handed a to-go box of empanadas, with no indication toward the plates and utensils sitting off in a corner of the dining area. I would have liked to know there was cheese in the meat empanadas. This is, however, a reasonably good place to eat, and there are an equal number of meat free empanadas. If you want something other than empanadas, though, you’ll want to go somewhere else.

They use one spice in their empanadas that is overpowering. It’s not one you taste in tacos or fajitas. Whatever it is, I’ve discovered I do not like it at all. (It’s not cilantro).

About Dec 2022 I tried to eat there today, but they were closed as they had “sold out” of food… tried again in June 2023, they had food… it was cooked some time earlier in the day and was sitting in a heated display case… the food wasn’t “bad”, it was just sorta there. There were two sauces, neither really added anything positive to the food. The room was fairly bare, almost cafeteria like, like the food it had no real character.

Ah, I was going to take a picture of them, but I ate them too fast…lol.

I can’t say nice enough things about the store. Braeden was the person on shift while I was dining and he was hilarious and down to earth. I would highly recommend a visit! I can’t stop eating these things. 🙂
