I have traveled to Argentina many times over the yrs for work and pleasure - oilfield & dove shooting. One of the best experiences is the food. Steaks, chimichurri and empanadas. There are 3 restaurants in the Houston area that bring those flavors to me and Pampa Argentine Grill & Bar is one of them. I say this based on one trip there, but the food did impress. I had a late lunch so nothing heavy so no steak. I did try 3 of their empanadas and a glass of wine. I had a ham n chz, a 4 chz and (my favorite) an onion n chz. These were made to order, so not sitting under a heat lamp. Oh so good. Not sure of the chz they use, but spot on. Nice and crispy, but not oily/greasy. They have a nice wine menu with many AR wines - I went with their national wine, a good Malbec. Service was excellent. Setting was nice. I can't wait to bring my wife here soon. read more

Pampa Argentine Grill & Bar - 4 Cheese Empanada (4 Quesos), Onion & Cheese Empanada (Cebolla & Queso), Ham & Cheese Empanada (Jamon & Queso). - Argentine Near Me - Katy, Texas

Firstly, let me say I'm going to not remark on the service since this was a takeout meal. It was timely, prepared and waiting for me when I got there to pick it up. For that I must say, I admire the timing and the timeline of the person who took the order. I had empanadas and I must say I have had better empanadas at non-Argentinian restaurants. These appeared to be a bit overcooked to me. It was a one time experience, so I'm not going to buy any means detract from the experience by further classifying it. I will, however, reserve the right to amend my evaluation either up or down on my next experience. read more

Tomato basil empanada was to die for followed very closely by ham and cheese. Place was cute, very local to the theme. Bartender was attentive and owner was very helpful with wine selection. 10/10 will be back read more

This restaurant was highly recommended and it definitely was amazing. I recall the this place being a coffee bar and now a beautiful decorated restaurant. The staff immediately greeted us and constantly checked on us. The portions were great but the steak melted in my mouth. The beef empanadas were crispy and filled with delicious meat. The wine varieties were great also. What a nice place for a family or couple enjoying lunch, dinner together. I will definitely eat more food here and try other dishes! Stay hungry enjoy life my friends. read more

Dined in for a birthday dinner party, and for a party of 16 adults and 1 child, they were extremely organized in taking orders and serving silverware and dinnerware. It took awhile to get cups of water, but overall once the order was placed it took 15-20 minutes for the food to come out. There were a few hiccups with the orders but they fixed it in a timely manner. Attention to detail could have been better but considering it was a large party, I still think they did a good job handling all the orders and getting the food out in a timely manner. I ordered the Entraña sandwich which had outside skirt steak cooked to perfection paired with portobello mushrooms and arugula. I also tried the grilled chicken dish, and while the chicken had great flavor it was really dry and overcooked. Overall, I would return again just for the fact that the portion sizes were huge and the food was good. read more

Great place to watch the World Cup games, delicious Entrana, morcilla, chorizo and a variety of wines. Outstanding service from Amanda!

Wife and I decided to swing by here while we were in town for a birthday party. It's a relatively small space but very nice inside, the bar looks really nice as well. The servers were all very friendly and greeted us pretty quickly. We ordered two glasses of wine, small salads, and an array of empanadas (jamon y queso, chorizo, pollo, and capresse). We also had some of the pan de casa. The food came out super quick and was piping hot. I am not exaggerating when I say that we devoured the food. It was delicious. The house bread was warm with a nice crisp crust. The empanadas though were top notch. Flaky, held up well, and crazy flavorful. They even had their name stamped on the edge! We were so pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed our meal and time there. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Have I died and gone to Argentinian food heaven? The service was equally as good as the food. We came on a Sunday at 11:30 and our food came out in less than 10 minutes. The chicken empanadas were so authentic that I thought I was in Argentina. They came out with fresh bread that was absolutely delicious served soft and steamy. I came with my 2 carnivores who ordered the beef milanesa that was so large they could only finish half. This cute restaurant in Katy must be a favorite for takeout because we saw many people picking up to go. They offer inside or outside dining and plenty of parking. Return: Absolutely. Cannot wait to return with our Argentinian friends and family . Highly recommended!! read more

We were seated within 5 mins and greeted! However we're told we couldn't order food until 10-15mins due to kitchen being saturated with orders... however we are home sick and needed Argentinian food!! I needed my entraña with mash patatoes w/ chimichurri had our fix with choripan. Sorry no pictures that's how good it was... I definitely recommend Pampa grill &bar worth the wait and every penny!! The red sangria was on point. My daughter loved the chicken soup and her carbonera fettuccini my 2yr old devoured his as well. Dessert flan and ice cream was delicious. My mother had the grilled salmon cooked to perfection and great flavor gracias you have returning customers. read more

Greeted and seated immediately. Lots of in/outdoor seating available. Ambience quiet and reserved. Here at Pampa's - it is all about the MEAT and SOCCER on TV. Looking around NATIVES here ordering the grilled plates Parrillada . We ordered the BEEF Parrillada and of course you got to try those empanadas ! You get 2 sides with the plates - we got 2 BIG salads. There was plenty of food for 4 of us. Great taste ; nicely seasoned ; Now watch out - prices are HIGH, but considering everything - definite 5 star for those MEAT lovers or those on KETO diet. By the way free bread if you wish. read more

Having recently moved to Houston after 10 years in Buenos Aires I was really hopeful that this place would fill the homesickness I had been feeling and man did it ever!! Empanadas were really juicy and tasty, perfectly cooked milanesa and to finish it off the classic chocotorta. Really great flavors, excellent service and felt right at 'home'. read more

10 out of 10. True Argentine grill with authentic cuts of steak, seasoning on point , and great wine pairings. No one pushing you to finish. Take your time and enjoy. read more

The drinks were mixed by an angel of God himself and the sweet potato fries were the best I've ever had in my entire meager mortal life. If you do nothing else, go try that. We went while it wasn't busy, so service was exceptional as well. It's a nice spot for a date night! Like so many others.. no pictures because the food was just that good. read more

Four of us on a Friday evening, early so not too busy. Empanadas, one of each, good pastry but all under-filled. We also ordered the chinchuria which came out overcooked even burnt. We sent them back for a new portion. We ordered two of the parrilla /asados. Morcilla was the highlight of each. Not impressed by the meat quality or quantity for $60 each. We had two portions of their special fries, they arrived cold, the bowls were not warmed and so you get cold fries! Basic ! I wanted to like this place . Appetizer served burned and later fries served patagonian cold to the same table sort of kills the meal. Whoever is working the pass and supervising the meals going out, needs supervision. I guess the guy at the bar distracted the staff, i would hazard a guess he is the owner read more

"A Wonderful Family Spot! The service and ambiance were excellent. We began with a fresh-from-the-oven bread tray. For the main course, we enjoyed the Parrillada Argentina for 3. And as dessert, we indulged in the flan with dulce de leche--it was absolutely delicious! We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!" read more

Pampa Argentine Grill & Bar - The 4 Cheese Empanada (4 Quesos) I recommend all the Empanada! - Argentine Near Me - Katy, Texas

Sometimes you just wanna eat meat without the judgement of concerned friends or family. Sometimes, family eats with you. The two empanadas I had, chorizo and cheese, onion and cheese, were delicious, flaky, and flavorful; an excellent start to a very enjoyable meal. The Serrana Milanesa was the main dish of the night because I will never pass up the chance to casually eat prosciutto though it didn't overshadow the chicken it accompanied. read more

Ordered ojo de bife, kids pizza, we got fresh bread, sweet potato waffle fries asparagus, beef and chicken empanadas. Everything was delicious my daughter enjoyed the pizza. The chicken empanada was well seasoned but not my favorite. Tables were clean friendly staff. Lots of families eating peaceful environment. read more

Absolutely love this place! Our faves are the empanadas and the milanesas. We typically order take out but have eaten here twice and the service and meal was great. The bread service is nice and hot. The sauces with the empanadas are super yummy. The price is also great. No complaints here. My toddler is a fan too! Will definitely keep coming back. read more

Great food, attentive service, and nice ambiance. It is a privilege to be their customer! We've had every kind of empanada they offer and none of them disappoint, though my favorites are the beef, the chorizo, and the corn and cheese (kids love them too). In addition, the drinks are great and don't forget to try the beef and pork thin sausage appetizer! read more

All the food is amazing. The staff is friendly and the owner is always around taking care if the customers.

I enjoy exploring new spots, tasting different dishes, and supporting local businesses. The interior is very nice and prices were reasonable. The bread was decent, but that's where my enjoyment ended. Either I'm simply not fond of Argentine cuisine, or the meal lacked seasoning; the sweet potato seemed greasy, and overall it left me unsatisfied. However, taste is personal, so feel free to form your own opinion! read more

Caprese Milanese was suburb. Great service & fun atmosphere with personal touch from the owner! Thanks Diego

So delicious! Just found this place. Took me back to my mom's cooking that I miss so much. I can't say enough how good this food is.

This food is delicious! You have to try Beef Empanadas! The service is amazing! Clean and quiet place. read more

The service horrible , the food cold , prices very expensive , low quality , never come back againg

Last minute change of dinner venue led us to Pampa. Made resy 15 minutes in advance and were able to get a table for 4 on a Saturday night @ 7 PM. Totally recommending this restaurant. Pros: food was well prepared and in more than sufficient quantity for majority of dishes. Everything there is worth trying especially the steaks. Worth a revisit to try some of the other dishes. Food was worth the price. Waiters were very friendly and accommodating. Cons: Service was unexplainably slow and unorganized. Had to make multiple requests on multiple occasions for the same items. Restaurant was only at half capacity. read more

Just no I was excited to try out this new place so I decided to stop by on the way home today. I ordered a milanesa sandwich and some pasta. Well the sandwich flavor was good but the meat was not soft enough and full of nerves, so I had to cut it and throw most of it away because it was not edible. The bread was not fully cooked, it looks like it was homemade? But not quite well done. As for the pasta, nothing out of the ordinary. Good flavor but it was missing sauce. I spent over $30 for both things so nope. I don't think I'll be back.. read more

Very good food! Empanadas and milanesa napolitana ! Friendly service and nice ambiance.

Love the empanadas. The ham and cheese is great. A regular on our rotation of restaurants.

The empanadas are good, but they aren't spectacular. The alfajores are delicious and close to the authentic ones I've had before, but I ordered four and they gave me three. Additionally, the waitress had no clue what I ordered online and made a new order. It was odd. read more

We just had lunch here and we enjoyed the experience. The owner is super nice and friendly. We joked with him about FIFA and he joked back and we had a very pleasant conversation with him. He also checked on us a few times to make sure we were doing okay. The girl who served us was nice, too. She was attentive and friendly and she was prompt. The food was so good! The empanadas were so delicious especially the four cheese one. It reminded me of my mom's cheese empanada. The picanha (not sure about the spelling) was super delicious. We both loved it so much. The skirt steak was really good, too. And if you add chimichury sauce to it, it takes it to a whole nother level. The pickled onions that came with the empanadas were good, too. There was live music and the whole place looked nice and clean. The restrooms are clean and smell nice. Overall, it was a great experience and we would love to come back again. In fact, we loved the empanadas so much that we bought a box of 14 to give to our friends to try. read more

This place is way nicer inside than what it looks like from the outside. The food was great. For appetizers we ordered the beef empanadas, which were fantastic with the chimichurri. For our main course we ordered the parrillada which came on a hot skillet served with 2 types of sausages, the Italian and the blood sausage (which i loved) and several cuts of picanha, asado and ribs. We paired our meal with a bottle of Malbec and had a wonderful cafe cappuccino at the end of the evening. I would have given 5 stars but took one off because the bottle of wine took a while in getting to the table after everyone already had their drinks, and I ordered another batch of their house bread and it was never delivered. A little confusion prob since two servers were tending us instead of one. Will def be going back. read more

I enjoy exploring new places, trying new cuisines, and supporting local shops. The interior is very pleasant, and the prices were fair. The bread was tasty, but that's about where it stopped for me. Either I'm just not a fan of Argentinian food, or the food was simply not tasty; it was dull, lacked flavor, the sweet potato felt greasy, and overall unsatisfying. Taste is personal, though, so you make your own decision! read more
