“Julia’s Empanadas which has been coming soon for about a year is finally open on 17th Street. I had a great Chilean beef empanada yesterday. A little pricey at $8.50, but it was a pleasant surprise to have no request for an additional tip!”
Nice!!
We’ve been waiting for them to open since April 2024!!
Check out their menus here.
