: Yes, there really is a Julia: a kind, hard-working woman who still gets into her kitchen every day to help make all the tender-crusted empanadas for which she is famous. There are eight tasty choices, including chorizo, Chilean-style beef, and salteñas. There’s little else on the menu, unless you want soup and some fruit-filled empanadas for dessert. The secrets to Julia’s success are that she keeps the formula simple and insists on quality, made-from-scratch food. Also located in Dupont Circle and on Georgia Avenue near Rock Creek Park.
