The Empanada lady is a Hispanic and Women owned business known locally for selling traditional Puerto Rican Empanadas and a rotating selection of sides and seasonal drinks, such as Coquito and arroz con gandules. The delicious hand-crafted Empanadas (authentically called pastelillo) are a family staple recipe, passed down through generations. The empanada Lady offers something for everyone- from classic chicken empanadas, to vegan empanadas, and even apple empanadas for those of us with a sweet tooth. Don’t forget to pair your meal with our famous “Nada Cocktail”.

Fun restaurant with tasty Puerto Rican "street food" and good cocktails. Good place to go before a performance at Chesapeake Shakespeare Theater, which is just around the block.

The restaurant was mysteriously closed. We had a reservation for Thursday, November 10 at 5:30pm and the door was locked and the lights were out. There was no sign on the door. A call to the restaurant was unanswered and we could hear the ringing coming from inside as we stood outside the glass front door. We hope she isn’t closed permanently as we were really looking forward to trying it

Great atmosphere and the customer service was outstanding! The owner was very polite and friendly, made us very comfortable and we had a very good time conversing. We’ve been back two times already and we went there last week lol Love the ambiance and the food and drinks were amazing 🤩 I’m definitely going to be a regular customer there

Mexican corn was burned black and was replaced begrudgingly without season. Empanadas were not seasoned and fried too hard. White rice stew was good . Arroz con guandeles was dry with hardly any peas. Server gave us the wrong wine - order sauvignon blanc and received pinot Grigio Servers started putting up chairs all around us as we sat at the bar— felt like we were there after closing.

I am so glad Open Table suggested Empanada Lady. It was such an unexpected and delightful experience. The food and service were fantastic. I live in VA but I can assure you, I will be back in Baltimore to visit!!

Came here for Mothers Don’t EVER DO THAT. I had a reservation with the confirmation but when I get here they wasn’t prepared we had to wait another 10 mins to be seated as if they didn’t know about our reservation. The service was poor our waiter didn’t acknowledge us the food wasn’t cooked right. They’re understaffed the kitchen was slow 2hrs waiting for food. We had water on our table for 1hr and half before the appetizer was brought out. The manager then said she can’t take the food we didn’t eat off the receipt.
