Juan & Maria's Empanada Stop

I wish I would have brought my camera to the Market with me today because we hit up Juan & Maria's Empanada Stop for breakfast. I had two Breakfast Empanadas and the Missus had a Veggie and a Cheese. (For the uninitiated, an empanada is basically deep fried dough filled with an assortment of meats, veggies and cheeses.. Think of a giant, deep fried perogie with meat instead of potatoes and you're getting close.)

We snagged the Spanish Mayonnaise and proceeded to not speak for the 10 minutes it took us to inhale our empanadas. I even made out with a sweet sticker:

I can't really say what I like best about Juan & Maria's.. The food or the street-vendor-in-a-foreign-land vibe I get from it. I guess it's the marriage of both. The hustle-and-bustle of the Market in the background certainly adds to the experience. In any case, the things are delicious and addictive. Eat them!
