Celebrate America's 250th with Free Catering Delivery from Mpanadas
America turns 250 this year, and at Mpanadas, we think that calls for something special — because 250 years of this country deserves more than just hot dogs and hamburgers.
To honor the milestone, we're offering free delivery on all catering orders over $250 within 10 miles of our Columbia Pike location in Arlington, VA. The deal runs through July 4th, so whether you're planning a backyard cookout, an office celebration, or a community gathering, now is the perfect time to let Mpanadas bring the flavor to you — at no extra cost.
Why Empanadas for a 4th of July Celebration?
We call ourselves the Home of the American Empanada — and we mean it. America's greatest strength has always been its ability to take the best from cultures around the world and make something completely its own. That's exactly what we do with every empanada we craft.
From the classic Beef Papa and Chicken Little to the boldly American Cheeseburger and Philly Steak, our menu is a celebration of fusion, creativity, and community. It's cookout food — but elevated. Handheld, shareable, and packed with flavor. Your guests won't miss the same old potato salad.
Whether your crowd leans traditional or adventurous, we've got something for everyone — including Halal, Vegan, Vegetarian, and Dairy-Free options, so no one gets left out of the party.

Here's everything you need to know:
Minimum order: $250 in catering
