La Pote-ria — Restaurant in Maryland

Who knew a Colombian Street Food truck was so close? Everything they sell is awesome. The Perro Caliente, cheese empanadas, and you will get hooked on the palitos de queso if you already were not. We don't really shop at the outlets so this place is the only reason for coming here. It can get crowded sometimes but its' a nice open air spot so it doesn't tweak my anxiety too much. Staff are very kind and helpful. I could eat here everyday. I meant to take a picture but it was so good I couldn't waste time on a picture. Once you eat a hotdog with pineapple sauce and "pink sauce" you will never eat plain ketchup or mustard again. I love this place so much. 10 stars if I could. Also just in case you didn't know you can get the empanadas and palitos frozen to take home...

Giving them the benefit of the doubt after 1 visit: Food: great!!! Best empanadas I've ever had (at least in the US. I'll admit to not not having lots of empanada experience) Wait time: several minutes (on a slow weekday at the shopping center, I'm sure) sodas weren't cold. I don't drink soda, but this is a non-starter for 99.99% of US people. I asked about arepas in Colombia. He said this business has a restaurant in Gaithersburg/MV that serves them! 🥰 Based on the goodness of the empanadas, I'm definitely checking...

Had the opportunity to try this place at the Clarksburg outlets today. I was highly impressed by the service and how good the empanadas were! We tried the cheese, chicken, and beef empanada and the Colombian soda for $8.50. The empanadas were fresh, crisp and delicious! The sauce that came with it just topped everything off, I wish I could buy the sauce. The Colombian soda reminded me of a mix of Peruvian Inca Cola/ Salvadoran Cola Champagne. I can't wait to munch on these when I go back to...
