Gringo Gordo

"It was my first time trying the Argentinian version of this Latin American food staple and I was very pleased with the experience. If I remember correctly I had 6 of them, and my two favorites were the Argentine one and the brisket one, followed closely by the buffalo chicken one. For the sweet tooth of mine, I ate the apple filled one, so that would make it 7 in total! Yup, I like to eat! Also, I had the pleasure to meet the owner, young man who was very approachable and friendly easy going type of guy. We chatted for a little bit about different type of empanadas and about trying different kinds of food from other countries. Very refreshing to hear him talking about his will of trying other cultures’ food and the drive to make his shop the place to go eat those yummy empanadas. Friendly service from his staff and very nice decor inside the shop too! Will come back for another round, that’s for sure! Thank you guys!"

"Counter service meat pies. This place is clean and neat, with a reasonable amount of indoor seating and two outdoor tables that are shady at lunchtime in summer. I was put off by the fact that I placed my order "for here" and was handed a to-go box of empanadas, with no indication toward the plates and utensils sitting off in a corner of the dining area. I would have liked to know there was cheese in the meat empanadas. This is, however, a reasonably good place to eat, and there are an equal number of meat free empanadas. If you want something other than empanadas, though, you'll want to go somewhere else."

"If you are looking for a quality quick bite... just go there... super delicious and very authentic Argentine empanadas. Place was fairly quiet at the time of my visit I was able to get a bunch of different flavors and the ones that were not in the display were baked in minutes as you wanted them."

"Empanadas are excellent, no lie some of the best around the area. Its a nice clean, quiet, new location with a small inside to eat in that’s easy to get in and out of fast. Have several different options from beef, chicken, veggie and breakfast empanadas and all Ive tried have been delicious. Try the Spicy beef, Argentina, Mushroom and Kale but you can’t go wrong either way. Low key spot that should be checked out by more people."

"I mean, the place smells nice but when they run out of food and tell you it will be 7-10 minutes for your order to be ready and 30 go by and the lobby is filling up with people waiting for their orders and the HS staff makes excuses about getting deliveries at lunch time … well, not the best experience. I understand it’s a new joint but they don’t have their act together. Give them some time. Food is good, although not made on site. They do prompt you to tip at checkout, which is awkward when the service is poor after the fact."
