Mola Empanada coming to former Donburi/Mokinbird space


2438 18th Street, NW

Mokinbird abruptly closed here in April (Donburi in February.) Now I’m hearing Mola Empanada is en route. Their website says:

“When did my Panamanian grandma make empanadas in my household? Only during special occasions. That wasn’t enough!

Mola Empanada liberates that ritual and shares the taste of our home. Our empanadas are made with fresh ingredients and spices, wrapped in signature handmade dough and inspired by tradition. Exploring multicultural combinations, this unique batch of savory pastries gives you bold flavors in every bite. So, celebrate more and make every moment a special occasion with these empanadas.”
