IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO DELIGHTFULLY…read more Empanadas! Disclaimer: This is a blog I wrote last September. I still feel the same way! Argentine empanadas are famous all over the world, but if you have been to Argentina or have Argentine friends, they're impossible to miss! I was born and raised in Argentina and as a foodie, I don't go easy on my reviews--especially not on food that I love. Just a few months ago a friend of mine started a catering business, and empanadas are her specialty item. She offers ten different kinds of these savory pastry turnovers, so customers are treated to a varied and very flavorful experience. Last week, she brought a sampler platter to my office that included beef, chicken, and vegetarian options, and my colleagues and I got to taste some unique flavors. A traditional empanada's main ingredient is beef and my friend calls hers "Carne de las Pampas," or "Meat from the Plains"--coincidentally, my mom and dad greBeef empanadas.w up in La Pampa, a province known for its extensive ranches and superior-quality beef. These empanadas are filled with ground beef, onions, bell pepper, tomatoes, and a combination of spices. I really wanted to try them, but they were gone in the blink of an eye. My colleagues were licking their fingers and grinning. The "Tex-Mex" is already a favorite among Tango Delights' current clients since Austinites are used to Tex-Mex restaurants and spicy food. These empanadas are a twist of the traditional and come with jalapeños plus some secret "awesome!" spices. Spinach and Butternut Squash empanadas. My personal favorite ended up being the "Paisana," which is one of the vegetarian empanadas. The ingredients include spinach, onions, bell peppers, Parmesan cheese, more "awesome!" seasoning, and butternut squash. Just one bite had me smiling! The butternut squash in particular made this different from any other empanada I've tried, and it was marvelous. I'll definitely be ordering some of these for my next party! The other vegetarian empanada was the "Humita," and this one has corn mixed with a creamy white sauce, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and, once again, the secret-recipe seasoning. It was flavorful, rich and left me wanting more. Additional options include traditional chicken, Cajun chicken, cheese and onion, ham and cheese, hand-chopped flank steak, and a breakfast empanada with bacon. A side salad can be ordered as well and it will come with your dressing of choice. Tango Delights is looking to expand in the near future to a brick and mortar location, and I will definitely provide an update for when this happens. In the meantime, order some to enjoy with your family or bring them to your next potluck party--you're sure to be the sensation of the evening if you do!

I will say it's nothing too fancy but you could definitely dress up a little for it. The staff were quick and gave great recs on what to order. The chorizo sausage was great! The provoleta was flavorful but it hardened pretty quickly, so make sure you eat it fast. The empanadas were the star of the show. I would definitely recommend the chicken and spinach cheese ones. The ground beef empanada was good, but I wasn't a fan of the olives. Def just be a me thing. I was really excited for the gnocchi but they served it last and I was beyond stuffed by then. I'd probably ask for everything to come out at once next time. The gnocchi was also completely different from what I've had before. I probably wouldn't order it again, but it was fun to try. Solid drink selection too!

We are very, very sad about this. UPDATE! I hope this goes through. I couldn't figure out a way to reply to you, Antonio. Absolutely Arepitas will always get a five star rating for food and service and everything about the actual restaurant. I actually initially put a one star just because I thought of it as putting a sad face like the restaurant was gone. So glad that you are just getting another location. Everywhere I looked that day just showed the Greenlawn location and showed that it was open. SO GLAD you are not disappearing!!

I got my children the pastel de papas(4 out of 10) and that was like a loaded meat pie...literally layered with mash potatoes and then meat. I also tried the beef empanada(3 out of 10), didn't care for it because it was just meat and obviously the casing of bread that really didn't have much flavor. I also ordered the flan, that was very good(10 out of 10). My grandma ordered the chicken Milanese and I tried a piece and my goodness, it was good. Literally like a chicken fried chicken with pizza topping(10 out of 10). Overall, I would recommend this place. It is a cozy cafe with nice music that greet you. The owner and his wife run the business and his wife cooks the food. Expect to wait a while because the owner's wife was the only one cooking when we were there, but the food is definitely delicious and not frozen and reheated.

Husband enjoyed his plate and finished it within a few minutes. It came with 2 different types of sauces: a white cilantro flavored one and a red mild sauce that was a bit spicy for him. The pesto mushroom risotto was good, but a little salty for my liking. If you want to add protein, it's ~$6 for beef or shrimp and ~$4 for chicken. Overall, it was good! We'll most likely be back. I want to try their empanadas next time!

My partner had the carrots, which were also tasty with a slight smoky flavor. We had the dulce de leche cheesecake as well. It was very delicious. Our server was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely return to El Gaucho.

Cafe Nena'i is a cute little woman owned coffee shop on the East side. Parking was easy and there was no wait. I found the music to be set a pleasant level, but since the owner is petite and has a plastic screen between her and the customer, it can be challenging to hear her. My cafe was delicious, but could had been hotter. The Torte de Manderin was as dense and a tad dry, but the citrus flavor came through and went nicely with my drink. It's a small place, but there are a couple of tables outside to linger at.
