Panas opened up at 2029 P Street, NW back in June ’10. Their Web site says:

“Panas specializes in Latin fusion gourmet empanadas. Empanadas are crescent-shaped turnovers, stuffed with a variety of well-seasoned meats, vegetables, spices, fruits, and/or sweets. Our recipes are inspired by the Latin Fusion cuisine; a culinary concept that combines traditional and modern gastronomic techniques with different ingredients from across the Americas.”

You can see their menu here. Any must order empanadas?
