Walking into DMV Empanadas Gaithersburg is like stepping into a vibrant world of flavor. Their menu is a treasure chest packed with mouthwatering choices, starting with the heart of it all — the empanadas. From the classic Chicken and Ground Beef to adventurous options like BBQ Pork, Steak and Cheese, and the creamy Chicken Pesto, every bite feels like a comforting embrace. Seafood lovers can dive into the Shrimp Old Bay Empanada, a Maryland twist that's pure genius.
Vegetarians aren't left behind either — the Spinach and Cheese, Pesto Cheese, and hearty Spinach and Beans Empanadas are packed with fresh, rich flavors. Even vegans have a delightful choice with the all-veggie empanada, and those seeking gluten-free options will appreciate the Empanada de Arroz and spicy Arroz Jalapeño version. For a sweet finish, the Nutella Empanada is pure magic.
Beyond empanadas, the menu branches into hearty entrees like the juicy Broaster Chicken — available in dark or white meat — and favorites like Lomo Saltado and Chicken Milanese. Saltenas, the juicy, flavorful Bolivian pastries filled with beef or chicken, are a must-try if you love savory hand pies.
Sides are no afterthought here; think golden yucca fries, fluffy home rice, and sweet fried plantains that complement every main dish perfectly. Wash it all down with a cold Jarritos, a fizzy Inca Kola, or even a classic Mexican Coke for the full experience.
And don’t even think of leaving without dessert. The Tres Leches cake is lusciously soaked and sweet, the Tiramisu is decadently creamy, and the Churro Donuts with Ice Cream are simply out of this world.
At DMV Empanadas, every item feels crafted with care — a true celebration of flavor for every craving.
