What we ordered: Noquis Bomba Rellenos, Chicken Empanada, Ham & Cheese Empanada, Chimi Fries, Brisket Chimi Melt, & Chicken Milanesa. ⁣ I don't think I've ever had Argentinian food so this was a great spot to try some! Their empanadas were tasty, especially their ham and cheese one, and their sandwiches were so delicious! The brisket was so tender and the chicken milanesa was breaded and fried perfectly. The star was the chimichurri sauce that I literally put on every single bite of anything I ate! We had great service and the restaurant had limited seating inside. I definitely will be coming back again! read more

El Argento - Everything was delicious! - Argentine Near Me - Auburn, Washington

Let me first say I'm Argentinian and I have been away from home for around 20 years so I miss me some argentine food. We tried the empanadas from el argento many many years back when they only had a food truck. Fell in love with them but unfortunately they moved to Auburn and we lost track. We now moved to Bellevue area and got to drive to El Atgento after many years. Let me tell you, the food is authentic and very fresh!! Delicious and full of Argentine flavors. The empanadas are almost as good as the ones I make at home () the milanesas are great and the French fries are the best!! Service is super friendly, prices are fair for the portions and quality, and overall is our go-to for Argentine food. Worth the drive, support this business since they care about what they serve their customers. Give them a try and you will be hooked!! You will not regret it! read more

First time ordering Argentinian food and I know it won't be my last. It can be a little challenge to find this restaurant since you just kinda drive by on your way to the freeway or Carpinitos. I got their beef and spinach empanadas and both were great! Roasted pork sandwich also a winner as you can see in my photo. I'll plan on stopping by the restaurant soon to try more menu items read more

I had lunch here today. I was just driving by and saw their sign advertising Argentinian food. I am sure glad I gave it a try. I had a beef empanada as an appetizer and the Bondiola Melt. A roasted pork sandwich with melted mozzarella and a green chimichurri sauce. DELICIOUS! The sandwich had a generous portion of thick slices of roast pork covered in gooey melted mozzarella. The chimichurri sauce spiced things up with a nice fresh veggie/herb/spice taste. My only regret is that I didn't order extra empanadas to go. The young lady working the counter was polite, friendly, helpful and efficient. I'll be back soon. This one is a keeper. read more

Great small restaurant and the food is amazing!! Food is easy to order and the service doesn't take long. Outdoor seating is more peaceful! We will definitely be back!! read more

I've had their Sandwiches many times before..,and with out a doubt, their all very very good and delicious! I highly recommend to get their Lomito or the Choripaty. It is always a pleasure to eat something from South American rather than having Mexican food, for a change. The Seattle and Bellevue area is asking for more of this!! ;) read more

The best empanadas in Town! My favorite are the meat ones. My kids got the asado sandwich and was very good too. The service was great too!

Excellent food from Argentina! Please support local food vendors like these people. They do a great job and the empanadas and milenesa were very delicious. Transported me right back to Buenos Aires. Yumm! read more

El Argento - a food truck parked on the side of the road - Argentine Near Me - Auburn, Washington

Authentic Argentine cuisine. The empanadas are just like home country. Best Argentine restaurant in South King County. Go visit. Will not be disappointed. read more

Love this food truck. Absolutely authentic Argentinian street food, tangy and spicy chimichurri (don't miss it spread over your fries!!!). Excellent service too. I usually find him on the Eastside but he does drive over to Montlake and the Civic Center where the City Hall is. read more

I was so excited to hear about the food truck El Argento opening up... For some reason, restaurants equate Argentine cuisine with bags of cash. El Argento serves authentic Argentine food for money real people can actually pay. My son and I tried the steak and chicken milanesa sandwiches. They were flavorful and lemony, just how I like them. Get them "completo," you won't be sorry. The fries are surprisingly good, too! My husband loved his chori, so much so that I didn't get to try it. We live 30 minutes away but will be back, for certain!!! My only suggestion is that orders be taken as people arrive instead of taking one order and finishing it before taking another order. Maybe some barstools as the weather warms up? read more

El Argento - Sangui de Milanesa -- Steak Milanesa Sandwich - Argentine Near Me - Auburn, Washington

My husband lived in Argentina for two years and when I surprised him with this place he just about cried. Friendly and fast food. This is a food truck you do not want to miss! The beef empanadas are our favorites and you MUST try the Chimi-egg fries! read more

Great place to get great food. I ate there and enjoyed the brisket melt. Tender, tasty, and lean, Took empanadas home, Delicious! Can't wait to return. read more

We have ordered from the food truck several times. We love the empanadas and the brisket sandwich.

I ordered from the food truck when it was at my workplace. I ordered a steak strip sandwich that came with fries. The price for this was $16 after tax. It took 20 minutes to receive my order (most of my lunch break). The fries are quite good, but the steak in my sandwich was very hard to bite, had to tear and rip and it was not pleasant to chew. For $16 I expect moist delicious soft chewy meat that comes apart easily. Everything else the truck offers is very expensive as well. You get slightly more fries with any of their fry focused dishes, and they charge $3 for that. An egg is $1. I understand that there are expenses that must be met, but this is just too expensive to justify patronizing this food truck anymore. read more

I finally got a chance to try out El Argento last night at ChowDowntown in Bellevue. Standing in front of the window, I spent several minutes explaining the menu to my companion and deciding what we wanted. When we finally ordered, the girl said they were out of EVERYTHING but milanesa. Selling out over an hour and a half before the end of the event is poor planning, but not marking the sold-out items on the menu--or at the very least giving us a verbal heads-up, since she could see us the whole time--is infuriating and shows that they don't respect people's time. Considering that the menu consists of a 3x3 grid of copier paper, it would've been so easy to cover up or mark the sold-out items. We waited 20 minutes for one milanesa sandwich and fries. Yes, 20 minutes for the ONE item of which they weren't out. The girl who took and packaged orders was sluggish and apathetic, and she displayed no sense of urgency whatsoever. No updates or apologies for the delay were given, and by the time we finally got our food, the live music was over, people were starting to clear out, and we didn't even feel like eating anymore. The sandwich was only alright and did nothing to alleviate the situation. I'm from Argentina, and I'd never seen chimichurri on a milanesa or on fries. While not a bad match in itself, the chimichurri soaked into the bread and fries, making for very soggy and messy food. In Argentina, a standard milanesa sandwich is topped with mayo, and fries are served plain. I get that El Argento is trying to appeal to exotic-seeking Americans by putting chimichurri on everything, but they should consider serving it on the side instead of soaking all the food in it. While I could chalk up part of my experience to bad luck, one thing is clear: the owners of this truck don't know how to run a business, and I have no desire to give them any more of my money. read more

DO NOT PASS THIS UP.. The food at El Argento is AWESOMENESS . There's really nothing else to say. If your Lucky enough to get there before he sells out of Empenadas man don't miss out on those. !! read more

Aguante el Argento Food Truck. Viva Messi.......... read more

Probably one of the best food trucks I have ever gone to. I highly suggest anyone to try this place out!

I literally went to this place like 3 times in the same week lol. My family and I were so excited to discover a Argentine food truck! My family is from Argentina and here in Washington finding anything associated with Argentina is rare. Anyway, on with this review. The menu consists of very traditional Argentine food. I usually get the empanadas that come with the chimi churi fries, and a milanesa sandwhich. The beef empanadas are totally delicious and legit, REAL empanadas. My only concern with them is that at times they are a little bit too fried, but that's understandable since they are coming from a food truck. The milanesa sandwhich is very good as well I usually get steak, it comes on french bread I believe and it's the bomb. And for the chimi churi fries, well just to warn you once you get your hand on those you'll end up eating a ton more. The chimi churi the owner makes is the amazing, and pairing it with fries is genius. 2 times out of 3 I've purchased the chimi churi he sells, it's only $5 and I like to support his business (: It's also very good on EVERYTHING. I'm an addict. Me encanta El Argento!! read more

The moment I heard that there was an Argentine food truck in the Seattle area I drove 30 min to check it out. And it did not disappoint. I lived in Argentina when I was younger and love the food. I took my wife with me who has never had authentic Argentine food. We were both very impressed with El Argento. I cannot wait to go back again soon. The Lomito and the Milanesa were delicious. I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

Great truck, good food. Owner is really nice. I will go back whenever I am in the area! Nice to see an Argentinian food truck in Seattle area! read more

I had the Milanesa and was very pleased. Tender and crispy and cooked perfectly. A bit of a wait but, this is not a cheap hamburger and totally worth it. I will be going back to have some more of the menu! read more

Had the Lomita. Really good beef, ham, and egg, with the mustard sauce really goes together. Would recommend it

When looking for an Argentine Cuisine do stop by here. A replica of common foods in your typical Buenos Aires neighborhood with a owner to match. Unlike the rest of the so called Argentine foods in Seattle the owner is Argentine and so is the food. Enjoy and Saludos! read more
