Mola Empanada - Calumet-Norvelt

I ate my empanadas immediately upon it hitting the table so I didn't get a picture, holy god they were delicious. Get the lime ? sauce with them as it makes them damn near euphoric. Great service from the bartender and chefs, highly recommend if you can get a seat!

Panamanian inspired food made with fresh ingredients. String, tasty drinks. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Perfect comfort food lounge! Da best empanadas and service is unmatched!

Mola Emenada is a welcoming spot that pleasantly stands out, in Adams Morgan even on busy days with a steady stream of customers. This popularity hints at its appeal.The chicken empanadas are the 5 stars here. Flavorful and generously sized, they are a treat for $7.00. These empanadas are not just tasty; they offer great value too.The restaurant has a relaxed Caribbean vibe. It’s a sociable place, ideal for a casual hangout with friends or family.There’s also a mention-worthy house drink, possibly Panamanian, which was refreshing and a great addition to the meal.A highlight of my experience was the warm hospitality, particularly from a lady who might be one of the owners. Her kindness added a personal touch to the service, making the experience more special.Overall, Mola Emenada offers a blend of enjoyable food and a friendly environment, making it a place worth visiting and revisiting.

The empanadas were amazing! Went two days in a row. My favorite was the beef empanada. Note: you must be patient as they make the empanadas to order. They are fresh and delicious!
