Great empanadas!!!' The real Argentinian thing.

Fabulous empanadas! The real Argentinian thing. Now.... Listen Dulce de Leche mozzarella and provolone! What???????

What we got
Ana B.

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.

We stumble into Gringo Gordon empanadas by shear luck we where actually look for sushi and we saw the name we had to try them. Some of the best empanadas we have try in the Virginia area they have variety to choose from and all the ones we had where delicious. The place is nice and clean good costumer services all around definitely come back try more. We even took some to go so that tell you how much we loved them.

Yummy

Randomly came across this place and so glad we did! Empanadas are amazing, and the staff was super friendly. It's also so affordable that it feels like a steal.

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

I love pretty much all traditions of empanadas, from Dominican Pastelitos to Colombian styles, but…read moreI'm somewhat skeptical of fusion empanadas. So I was happily surprised by the empanadas at Empanadas De Mendoza. I orders their 3 empanadas and side combo which included a traditional beef, pineapple chicken, bbq pork, and French fries. The empanadas rappers were light and crispy and the fillings were generous and juicy. The fries were nicely seasoned. My favorite was the chicken and pork. My only complaint was that the empanadas are a little small and a bit pricey, but I get it - we're in a recession. Overall it was a great meal and I look forward to trying their food again.

When I tell you that the universe is always looking out I mean it! I have been having one hell of a…read moreweek and was about to go through my normal work-week what shall I make for my healthy dinner when I remembered that this food truck was coming to my apartment complex.... SCORE! I said although I've never had them, didn't even peek at them on Yelp :: GASP:: and have been spoiled by authentic empanadas growing up in the NYC area that I would still give them a shot bc I totally needed to eat some stress away and empanadas sounded like the perfect escape to do so. The line was fairly long for the truck but they had it running like a well oiled machine and the guy taking orders was super friendly which made waiting in the cold and dark totally worth it . I went with the 3 empanadas + a side so that I could totally truly give them a fair shot and see what they were working with. I opted for the Spicy Beef, Honey BBQ Pork and the 3 Cheese empanadas + the Chimichurri Fries as a side. OOOOOOOOOMMMGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!! Every morsel of these empanadas, those damn fries and the side dipping sauces were OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!! I literally devoured everything all by myself in under 15 minutes....and I am PROUD ! This place is legit and their flavors are magical! The spicy beef was spicy, the 3 cheeses were cheesy, the honey bbq was perfectly pulled pork like and those fries with the sauces were restaurant week worthy! I can't wait to try the other empanadas on their next go round and must say that my entire week is all better because of Empanadas De Mendoza
