Empa Mundo - World of Empanadas

Argentina Bakery

In fact, Belt Line Rd., where these two places are, is a great, street for storefront ethnic food from West African to Thai to Indian. It's not a particularly pretty street but some of the food along it is amazing.


Oh yes. there's a Salvadorian place, I think it's in that area, that has the same sort of plates they have at Glorias (plantains, beans, tamal, etc...) for about $8.

How did I miss this place? It's only about a mile from me. I plan to check it out next week!

I'll have to try this place too. I'd drive to Hades and back for a good empanada.
