La Poteria opened its brick and mortar location in 2021 at 19116 Montgomery Village Avenue. Its menu features a variety of empanadas, with popular fillings like beef, chicken, spinach and cheese, and even pineapple-ham-cheese. A standout item is their unique take on waffles, the “Pan-De-Waffles,” which are made with cassava flour and cheese.
