Grabbed a Jr Bacon Cheese and a Dave's Single with free single on app with any purchase.
$2.24, felt like stealing. I could tell Manager/Franchisee was not a fan as he was fixing register for the cashier. $4.49 retail.

So a lot of people even in a dedicated food thread haven't had empanadas? Market research going on boys!

I’m not sure I’ve had an empanada, but I’ve had arepas and pupusas...both are good.

In case y'all didn't realize, you can add a patty to your $1 QPC for another buck with the customize button. $3 and change for a double and a FFDDP is what's for lunch for the next 2.5 months. Both times I did it, I got the extra cheese without ordering it.

There was a place by me that sold breakfast (egg)empanadas that were amazing, any potential entrepreneurs should take note! They sold the recipe to a local place when they retired but I failed at cooking them from frozen once home.

Just hit up the QPC + extra patty for $2 plus used my wife's phone to get a tea + free medium fry to go with it. Super sweet deal for $3 and they even added on an extra slice of cheese.

You owe it to yourself to have an empanada soon IMO, they're way better than arepas or pupusas.

I am going to DC next weekend. At least one stop at Julia's will be in order.

Julia's is my strong preference for food at closing time. And usually I go with Jamaican or Chorizo.

I just had a stewed chicharron empanada and a ground beef empanada.
If you don't have access to empanadas in your area, see if you have access to a dim sum restaurant and get the curry beef puff which is a nice alternative.

After i pick up the first order, i place the 2nd in the app and wait. The employees don't care, plus I'm a regular. They've probably seen it all as mcd workers, one dude with two orders ain't no thang
