It's a food truck right on 16th Street. It seems to be a 2-person operation so unfortunately it was not as fast I was hoping. The lady working there was super friendly! I got the Combo Plate and decided on the Teriyaki Chicken and Loco Moco. The Teriyaki Chicken was smoky, sweet, and savory. The Loco Moco was very satisfying, particularly with the gravy and perfectly cooked Sunnyside Egg! The rice & mac salad were both great classic sides to have with this meal. The Lilikoi Lemonade was described as their passionfruit lemonade but I wasn't getting much passionfruit. It's tangy, sweet, and refreshing and paired well with the meal but it just wasn't passionfruit flavor. Good try and it kept me full for hours!

Ever since I was a wee lad getting a…read morehotdog from a vendor at the ballgame, I have enjoyed getting my food from outside of brick and mortar restaurants. Instead of a lemonade stand, my friends and I had a sidewalk food stand, where we sold pizza and hot pretzels to our neighbors. And now I work in downtown Denver, and I could go to a food cart everyday if I wanted to. So I've walked by Empanadas Argentina's blue umbrella a number of times, always on my way to someplace else and always thinking to myself "I've got to try that cart!" So I did. Today. And it's delicious. They have 4 kinds of empanadas: Spicy Chicken, Beef, Ham & Cheese, and Spinach with White Sauce. He was out of Spicy Chicken (damn you guy that just bought them all from under me!) but was cooking more up in his cart's oven. So I opted for the 3 empanadas for $5, and got 1 of each of the remaining choices. You have to get at least 3. I could probably have eaten 3 more. They aren't that big. The beef was by far the best. Flavorful, kinda cheesy with an outstanding buttery yet flaky crust. My second favorite was the Spinach. I was expecting more of an alfredo sauce for the white sauce, but it wasn't nearly as rich. Just enough sauce to give the spinach creaminess, yet little enough to not overwhelm the spinach. Same flaky crust. Finally, the Ham & Cheese. Also good, but it just seemed like a better quality/tasting hot pocket to me. Of course, it had that signature flaky crust. So if you're walking down 16th st. and have a hankering for a quick bite, grab some empanadas from Empanadas Argentina. You won't be sorry.

This dog came with shaved Asiago cheese, Bavarian Kraut and I requested the Stone ground mustard. The hot dog roll was also of superior quality and substantial.

It was a good balance between the intense grassiness of the matcha and the sweetness of the strawberry. I ordered mine in a tayaki lined with Nutella. It came out as a sundae with the tayaki on top plus a little lemon macaron and two pocky sticks. To absolutely no one's surprise, this was too much dessert (at least for me) and could have been split with someone else. There are some fish sculptures to sit on and a couple Adirondack chairs, but otherwise you might need to stand while eating or take it while you walk. Less than ideal but comes with the whole kiosk thing. The staff wasn't so great at communicating options and so, for example, my friend wasn't given the option to choose her cone flavor though they clearly had 3 options. No big deal--definitely worth a stop on a hot day.

I've been twice so far, and I'm sold. They offer a large variety of sausages are really reasonable prices. It's not as fast as some carts, since they cook your sandwich to order, and the sausages take a few minutes to heat up. But it's well worth the wait. After your sandwich with grilled onions is ready, be sure to add some of their special topping, a slightly spicy Armenian mix of peppers, olives, and other deliciousness. I could probably enjoy a bun filled with just that stuff!

The lamb was in the form of a soup and while not the best it was pretty good. The hangar steak was well prepared and really tasty. My husband and I shared it. The lamb (soup form) was not good or sharing. Probably would go back but only if we are downtown Denver and have extra time. It's a bit out of the way for us.
