These guys are on Too Good To Go. They open the ordering option and cancel your order at the last minute. The cancellation never goes through because when you drive there to pickup your order is not there. They tell you it was cancelled yet you get charged. A complete inconvenience for no reason and they do t bother to make good for this inconvenience. I have to deal with my credit card company to get this refunded. You guys are a waste of time. read more

They used to be really good. But since they changed their hours and have new people there, its not so good anymore. The ones I've had recently on different occasions have been dry. Without the sauces they charge for, they aren't that good. They need to refine their recipes. read more

It's now been a few months since my initial review, and I've had a chance to try some more flavors. Gringo Gordo is better than I initially thought it was. My favorite by far is the spicy beef empanada. It's not so much spicy as it is flavorful. I highly recommend the chimichuri sauce to go with it. One interesting new flavor is the dulce de leche dessert empanada. It has mozzarella and provolone cheese, which sounds really odd but actually tasted good. The cheeses are mild, so they balance out the sweetness without being out of place The staff is also super-friendly! Overall, I love having a quick, cheap, grab-and-go option in Purcellville that's not a nationwide fast food joint. read more

Gringo Gordo is an empanadas specialty place. All they make are handmade empanadas. They have four locations in Northern Virginia, where I was visiting last week. The space is small with plenty of available seating. My cousin and I got two empanadas, Spicy Beef and Mushroom & Kale. According to the young man working here, Spicy Beef is their biggest seller. They each cost $4.25. They don't offer table service here. Your empanadas will be packaged in to go boxes, you can go with them, or you can sit and enjoy. They also come with their house made sauces. We got both. One is the savory chimichurri and the other is spicy chipotle ranch. These empanadas are about the average size, but they are filled with goodness. They aren't greasy at all or overly salty. My favorite was the Mushroom & Kale, and I loved dipping it into the spicy chipotle ranch! This was delicious! So flavorful! The Spicy Beef was also really good, but very light on the spicy side. This is a great spot for a little lunch or a snack. These are great empanadas. read more

I got a 6 pack to try several empanadas. First of all the price is very good as these are pretty filling. Really loaded with meat or vegetables depending on your option choice. I love the spicy beef and bean & corn with that chipotle ranch. Delicious and a nice sweet treat with the Apples & Cinnamon for dessert was perfect. Like a perfect little South American apple pie pocket! The young man who assisted me was very patient and helpful since I told him it was my first time. He explained everything to me. Very clean and nice looking restaurant too perfect lunch spot or pickup for dinner. read more

Gringo Gordo - Brisket - Empanadas Near Me - Purcellville, Virginia

Great service and friendly staff. Very tasty. Good food! Not much more to say. Give it a try.

I confess that I never tried empanadas before. I don't know how I could be so foolish.. I often stood near BKD bagels, I saw the Grin go Gordo sign announcing the coming of a Leesburg restaurant. After looking at sign many times I researched empanadas. The description was mouthwatering and intriguing. When the Leesburg store did not come, I decided to go to Purceville. WOW they are great. read more

The empanadas are simply the best I have ever had. We are waiting for the branch to open in Leesburg.

Empanadas are good. Still missing the ones I use to get in Miami but if you're near by and craving Argentina empanadas, come try these. A little pricey for empanadas though. read more

Wasn't impressed, the empanadas appear to be prepared offsite and the bread is heavy which overpowers the fillings. Not a lot of menu options and there didn't appear to be any on-site fresh options. read more

I've had mixed results with the different locations of Gringo Gordo. The locations in Winchester have been consistently good however I can't say the same for Purcellville. My empanadas from Purcellville were undercooked with the pastry doughy and chewy. I'm sure it was just an off day but I think I'll stick with the original shop for now. I should add that, when cooked correctly, the empanadas are delicious and generously filled. I do recommend and will return. read more

Brisket empanada with sauce is delicious! The guy who was serving was really friendly and the music is kind of cool as well! Great place for a quick bite. I will certainly be back! read more

Not a great experience. We paid for 6 but when we opened the box at home there were only 5 . They were all meh. The crust has no flavor and the fillings were disappointing--too greasy and too mild. Overall they were just blah, not the intricately flavored steaming pockets I've had elsewhere. read more

No frills, all flavor. Hard to go wrong with these wee pockets of Latin awesome. Seriously, for a fast and flavorful lunch, go here.

Yummy empanadas! Favorite was the onion and cheese. Well seasoned without being spicy/hot. Will def be back!
