Se acabó la fiesta!⁣
⁣
Our flavors were hardly half the story. It was the community we built together at Mola that made this place what it was. What a blessing and an honor to have attracted and served good company who enjoyed the festive bites and vibes.⁣
⁣
We loved having you at Mola. It was a great privilege to celebrate your first dates, birthdays, welcoming your first child, and everyday moments with you. We hope you don’t forget us, as we continue to have you all in our forever memories.⁣

Mola Empanada’s FIRST BRICK & MORTAR IN ADAMS MORGAN! 🎉⁣
⁣
We’ve started serving these Panamanian-inspired bites over a year ago in every weather as a little pop-up. You’d always see us with our two tables, two induction stoves, two insulated bags filled with empanadas and patacones, and two huge smiles waiting to serve you great food! 😋⁣
⁣
We’re excited to continue pan-frying the delicious frituras and introduce newer menu items for you all to enjoy.⁣
⁣
Help us perfect our operations at Mola Empanada’s SOFT OPENINGS this weekend, starting TODAY, 7/29 at 3pm at our new location! We’ll be open again on Saturday and Sunday, and then continue delivering the festive bites from Thursdays to Sundays, 3pm - 10pm, until we expand our days and times.⁣

Celebrating Mola Empanada’s FIRST POP-UP, a year ago today! 🎉

On Sunday, May 16th, 2021, our fryer was hot 🔥, energy was pumped, and insulated bags were filled with so many empanadas for you all to taste and enjoy for the first time! We didn’t know what to expect for Mola’s first pop-up. So, when we SOLD OUT, we were excited to get back in the kitchen and wrap more!

We’re still very grateful for @3starsbrewing’s awesome customers, and family & friends who were the first to experience the fun.

Since then, we’ve been popping up around DC serving you a Panamanian 🇵🇦 celebration in a bite.

Swipe to see our first pop-up setup! 😬😭

Spring got saucier 🤤 Our chicken curry empanada is one of our staple flavors—packed with saucy in-house curry spice, and roasted red bell peppers, all wrapped in our signature dough, then pan-fried for a crispy shell. ¡Qué rico! 😭⁣
⁣
Grab yours TONIGHT at @lostnfounddc starting at 6pm!⁣
