The name empanada originates from the Spanish verb empanar which means to wrap or coat in bread and fill with fish, chicken or meat - a portable and hearty meal for working people, essentially a stuffed pastry.
Usually found in Spain, Portugal, the Caribbean, Latin America and the Philippines, today they could be found on the streets of Washington - on Capitol Hill ( South Capitol Metro Station) and Farragut Square to be exact - compliments of Human Events and DC Empanada Food Truck.

couldn't think of a better way to re-launch HE than by serving
empanadas. Substance and spice just like HE!," said Eagle Group VP and Group Publisher Joe
Guerriero.
