Chile Lindo Empanadas
Editorial Review
Tiny, cheery bakery slings freshly baked empanadas on a stretch of 16th that needed light. Some scoff at $5 for an empanada, but they're on the large side, filled with plentiful ingredients and encased in fresh, flaky but not dry or doughy pastry. Of the three flavors, we like the "Pino" -- crumbly Niman Ranch beef, sautéed onions, olives, hard-boiled egg, raisins with flavors of cumin and paprika. Vegan option too. Nice break from taco and burrito hegemony, not to mention other well-worn 16th Street street food options. Grab a couple empanadas and a can of coconut water on your way to see a flick at the Victoria.
