What Makes Our Empanadas Special?
⭐ Authenticity & Global Inspiration
Our menu celebrates global comfort food, inspired by traditional recipes from Latin America and beyond. Each empanada is handmade fresh, ensuring the perfect balance of flaky pastry and bold, flavorful fillings.
⭐ Premium Ingredients
We use only high-quality meats, cheeses, and spices in all our empanadas. No shortcuts, no preservatives – just honest, delicious food.
⭐ Unique Signature Flavors
We don’t just stick to the classics. At Pocket Empanadas, we’ve created signature empanadas that you won’t find anywhere else in the DMV. Some of our customer favorites include:
🥟 Butter Chicken Empanada
Inspired by India’s iconic dish, our Butter Chicken Empanada is filled with tender marinated chicken breast cooked in creamy tomato sauce with a touch of authentic Indian spices, blended with mozzarella cheese for the perfect fusion of comfort and flavor.
🥟 Birria Empanada
Birria is Mexico’s most iconic slow-cooked beef stew, and we’ve transformed it into an unforgettable empanada. Filled with slow-cooked marinated brisket, cheese, crispy onions, and a touch of cilantro, it’s juicy, savory, and deeply satisfying.
