Ground beef empanada: very good. Just a hint of sweetness but not too much. Excellent crust. Spicy ground beef empanada: very good with a hint of spiciness. Did I say that the crust is excellent? Spicy chicken choclo: no idea what this was but best to stay away from this. The chicken was dry and unseasoned. The ingredients just didn't mesh together. Sweet trio: caramel and chocolate were good. The passion fruit, not so much. Just a note. It's best to eat them fresh because by the time you bring them home, the crust gets soggy and then the crispy crust deliciousness is gone. read more

I came here after seeing it on a couple lists and even though my Boulder friend said he wasn't that impressed with it. I should've listened to the local instead of the Yelp reviews. It's true that a single empanada is a cheap eat in Boulder, but unless you're just looking for something light it's not that filling. The crust was a bit dry to me and the flavor of the fillings just didn't stand out enough. read more

Rincon Argentino - Argentine Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I was excited to try this place after looking at the reviews. I was pretty disappointed. So, I have never had Argentinian empanadas. So maybe I didn't know what to expect. I thought it was going to be a crust stuffed with fillings and folded in half and sealed-like a calzone It was not. It was more like an open crust with the stuffing Inserted from the top. They were about the size of a cupcake. I'm not one of those big ones, just like a normal cupcake. We had a mushroom empanada, a corn empanada, and a side salad. The corn empanada was really good. The mushroom empanada was not good. The stuffing was so so but it was burned (see pic), which made it bitter. read more

This mine and my mom's favorite place to get empanadas in Colorado! My mom has been to Argentina and continuously raves about how authentic these empanadas are. Delicious and well-priced genuine Argentinian food. Definitely worth a visit or 10. read more

Yum yum yum. Highly recommend! Made fresh empanadas! Spicy Chicken, spicy ground beef and the cream corn....can't wait to go by and try more! read more

Tasty empanadas, a bit pricey for what you get, though. Not for the frugal family meal.

Great empanadas! Just don't be in a hurry. I went here with some coworkers on a Friday for lunch. We got there around 11:05, right after they opened, and ordered a few minutes later. I got three, the spicy ground beef, chicken chorizo, and spicy chicken. The empanadas were great, with spicy ground beef being my favorite of the three. The chimichurri salsa was wonderfully garlicky and one of the more authentic versions I've tried. The roja salsa was spicy in all the right ways. It was a wonderful experience! The only reason I'm voting 4 stars instead of 5 is the wait was quite long. It took over twenty minutes to get our food, and there was only five of us (one of whom ordered a sandwich). I will definitely be back, just not on a day where I have a meeting right after lunch. read more

The food: The food here is amazing! Got the beef and pesto empanada and so so delicious and affordable. Flavors are popping and the crust is fresh and soft, not soggy at all. Also had the dulce de leche cookie which was oddly kinda expensive for the small size - but SO GOOD! Never tasted anything like that and loved it. The space: Lotta tables and sitting room. Bar space by the kitchen and two to four people tables. Lotta cultural decor and color giving it a fun vibe. The service: You get a number and bring it to the table after ordering up front. Then they bring you the food. A bit longer than expected as I only ordered two items, but everything is freshly made so makes sense! Totally worth the little wait and still would rate as delicious fast casual. read more

A friend recommended this place and WOW!! SO AMAZING!!!!!!!! I ordered three empanadas - 1 (asado), 2 (ground beef)and the mushroom one. So good!!!! The number 2 was my fav and it was so good I ordered 2 more!! The chimichurri salsa is very South American and honestly tasted like delicious pesto - probably because Italians went to Argentina? Staff are friendly and there's a decent amount of inside and outside seating. They also have frozen dishes you can buy and heat at home. read more

Will be dreaming about these empanadas for years to come. The choclo and gaucho were incredible. You know it's authentic when they serve Quilmes! read more

This place has indoor and outdoor seating. We shared four empanadas. One was ham and cheese (love the cheese), one was Parmesan garlic tomatoes (the Parmesan was so good), one was ground beef (pretty tasty but reminded me of a taco), and the last one was spicy steak (flavorful). The best part about the empanadas was the actual breading. It was flaky and the perfect texture. Normally I find empanadas have too much bread and the bread is hard. The negative part is they are tiny!!! Especially for $5 each! I'd have to eat like 5 to be at minimum full, and I'm 98 lbs. The dulce de Leche ice cream tasted different than what I've tried before. Still not bad but for 6, the portion is super tiny. Overall the food was great but portions suck! read more

Empanada= Little pockets of delight! Be still my hungry heart! I love empanadas and this is by far my fave place for them in Colorado. They even have authentic Yerba ;) Each type has their own special fold for identification purposes. Honestly, I could eat them all. ;) My favorites are the spicy steak and the Patagonia. The caprese was also good but I preferred the patagonia. They are small but filling! Love the authenticity and the chimichurri is amazing! It adds so much to the flavor profile. They serve beer here but I opted for the Yerba. Such a fun lovely spot! I'll be a regular for sure! read more

Service is fantastic, and the food is also fantastic. We stopped on our way to Estes Park and the food was very flavorful. We also got huge 24 ounce beers from local breweries. Would definitely go back! read more

Empanadas were delicious and many varieties to choose from on the menu. Friendly service and quick delivery on the food

Very yummy food! I love the desserts but mostly the empanadas, I definitely recommend this business! It's delicious!!

It was order out to support our community night (we've had several of those lately), and once again we were not disappointed in the empanadas. Our favorite is the Choclo Empanada with Chimichurri Sauce. So fresh and even getting takeout, they were hot when we got home. The mushroom was good, just seemed like it needed something else? It was all mushroom, so a great vegetarian choice as well as the Choclo - the Choclo just had more going on and you got a great explosion of flavors when biting into it. I also had the Pollo Empanada which I did not have to share as my family doesn't like olives, but I thought the green olives in this empanada made the whole thing "pop" when taking a bite. This is a go-to restaurant for us and it was time for me to write a review. (I keep forgetting the pictures, but they are also beautifully made). read more

Authentic. Tasty. Good vibe. A little taste of South America in the center of Boulder. I really like the simple Ham and Cheese. Be careful, these little dough wrapped delicious baked goods come out piping hot! read more

We order from them almost weekly and they are rather large orders. I sometimes have a bad habit of waiting until the last minute and the ALWAYS accommodate me no matter how much we order. They are friendly, the empanadas (every type) are fresh, well made, and hot when they arrive. They deliver to my convenience and there is no better place for catering from them if you want individual style servings that meet different dietary restrictions. I can't recommend them enough!!!!!! read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad I tried it. This time I tried the traditional and the Patagonia empanadas. Both were phenomenal. Especially the Patagonia. I love that you can decide how heavy of a meal you'd like since the empanadas are sold a-la-cart. I had two which was perfect before a hike. I could have easily eaten three though. And the sauces are amazing too. Next time I'll try a sandwich. read more

A little spicy / over seasoned for my tastes but well run and pretty solid for a chain.

Yum! I now know what all the fuss about empanadas is! I can't wait to go back! The location in Boulder is super convenient and very lively.

I think their food is just okay. My first time trying Argentinian food and had god expectations but honestly Nothing impressive. My fiancé tried multiple items and I tried one as well. The only one that was somewhat good was the spicy beef one but the rest was ok. They have seating area inside as well as good parking area outside read more

Great place to try really good empanadas. My husband and I ordered steak, cheese, chicken and cheese/ham empanadas. All of them were really good. We also liked their chilly sauce and parsley one (yummy, but you have pay extra 0.45 cents for each). Empanadas are for 3.65, but I would have to have about 3 for not to be hungry. Enjoyed their dessert, some traditional cookie and tart with jam. The design of the place is very authentic and the staff is very pleasant. read more

I eat here about once a week. Their empanadas don't miss. My favorites are the Barbecue Chicken and Choclo, but you can't go wrong. The food quality is consistently good, and the staff is always friendly. At nearly $5 each, the empanadas are pretty filling, and I can usually eat two and be full. read more

Great outdoor seating and a nice view. It seems silly but the tree out front on their patio is gorgeous in the fall and spring, shade in the summer and has nice lights in the winter. Perfect for outdoor seating. Their food is great and really unique for Boulder. Nice staff and atmosphere. read more

Whatever you do in Boulder, make sure you come here. As the daughter of Argentine immigrants, I have searched far and wide to find a place stateside that does Argentine food justice. And this place is it. I absolutely love the food here. They are the best Argentine food I've had outside of Argentina. The empanadas are all fantastic. The lomito especial takes me back to hot Buenos Aires nights. The tereré reminds me of lazy days next to my grandmas pool. Seriously, everything about this place is amazing and it would be a mistake to not eat here. read more

Not the cheapest meal but so so tasty- make sure to get a variety. The side sauces are clutch for dipping. The bread is so flaky and savory

This place is worthy of a drive from Denver to Boulder. Rincon makes better empanadas than restaurants in Argentina bet!

This place is very authentic. The owners are awesome! The staff super cool and friendly. Best Empanadas in the States! You should sell in the grocery stores!!!!!! Or wait, maybe not. Let's keep it our little local jewel. :) Great to pick up a few dozen and heat them at home. Great for Holidays! read more

I must be in a bad mood again today; this review isn't going to be as positive as this "known in town for empanadas" place may deserve. Perhaps because I was longing the savory empanada goodness and got a soggy flavorless mess, instead? In fact, I only ate the chicken, beef and mushroom (tried three) insides because the dough was undercooked and rather gross. So the "guts" were good...but not the whole. Shame. read more

This TINY establishment is located in The Village At Boulder. Right after our Lunch just across the street, I decide to go to Rincon Argentino, to purchase some Empanadas TO GO for Hubs. That recent visit was on Sunday April 6th 2014. Time was about 13:17hrs. Man, at that hour, this TINY establishment is jam packed with other patrons alike. YES, they have like a "Pizza-Like" Oven in this establishment. Yes, you can order at the Counter, and they will send your order to where you are seating. There are also OUTSIDE Seating Areas aka something like a Patio. They offer Gluten Free and Vegetarian items on certain Empanadas and Sandwiches. After I ordered the Empanadas TO GO, I overheard the conversation from the staffs to another patron that You CAN ORDER The FROZEN Empanadas, and baked/fried at home. *SIGH* I should have known those details before I order the Empanadas. *Double SIGH*.. My Bad. I waited for abit, say between 5 to 10 minutes for my Empanadas TO GO to be ready. When I reached home, I shared the Empanadas with Hubs. In conclusion it was JUST OK Empanadas. Maybe SLIGHLTY PRICEY for some since this establishment is located in BOULDER, CO. Each Empanadas Piece was $3.20. These were the Empanadas that I order TO GO : 1 Half Dozen Empanadas aka 6 Empanadas ($17.60) * 2 Carne Picante SPICY Steak * 2 Criolla SPICY Ground Beef * 2 Pollo Picante SPICY Chicken * Asado Sauce - Tomato, Cayenne Peppers & Spices * Salsa Verde - Avocado, Jalapeño, Cilantro & Spices AKA - Chimichurri ($0.35) The Total Cost with tax was $19.48. The Carne Picante Empanadas consisted of Spicy Steak, Onions, Green Onions, Red Bell Peppers, Jalapeño and Green Olives. The Criolla Empanadas consisted of Spicy Ground Beef, Carmelized Onions, Red Bell Peppers, Green Olives and Spices. The Pollo Picante Empanadas consisted of Spicy Chicken, Chili, Garlic, Onion and Spices. Overall, we are torn about all the Empanadas we had. It seems all the SPICY Empanadas, have the same taste profile. *SIGH* The Spicy Steak tends to be "drier" than I am used to. The Steak WAS NOT that tender to my liking. The Salsa Verde Sauce is my favorite, though it tends to be more lime-y. Just take note, the parking can be nightmare-ish. Since heading to this establishment, the parking outside to this establishment is a 1 WAY DIRECTION ONLY, so watch out and drive carefully. Rincon Argentino is CLOSED on MONDAYS. Their Opening hours are as following : * Sundays - Thursdays : 11 am - 8pm * Fridays - Saturdays : 11 am - 9pm Rincon Argentino 2525 Arapahoe Ave. # A05 Boulder, CO 80302 Tel : (303)-442-4133 @78/2014 read more

My experience was only worth three stars but I know that, had I gotten other flavors, it would have been four stars. Unfortunately, I picked the BEEF, CHICKEN CHORIZO, and the GROUND BEEF. They were all like $3ish. The ground beef was delicious and was the best by far. Not even close. Seriously, get this! So juicy and fatty, there was tons of flavor. The beef and the chorizo, on the other hand, were awful. Both were super dry and kind of lacked flavor, especially the chorizo. I've never had such bad chorizo before! I regretted getting the other flavors, but the ground beef is awesome. read more

I stopped by Rincon Argentino for a weekday lunch and was very impressed by the quality of food given this bustling restaurant's counter-style service! The clerk recommended the gaucho (#3, beef) and tradicional (#1, steak) empanadas as two of the tastier and more popular items. I ordered these two along with the patagonia (#12, garlic, tomatoes, and cheese). All the empanadas were excellent, but I had a slight preference for the steak and patagonia. I got the avocado sauce which came with the empanadas which was great as well. Despite the restaurant being very busy, my friends and I were able to find a table, and our food was brought out to us - freshly cooked - very quickly. This restaurant already has amazing and well-written reviews, so I doubt that my positive review will make a huge difference, but for those of you who are reading this and still debating about whether to go to Rincon, please check it out - you won't regret this decision! read more

I wish we had a place like this locally. Nicely decorated space with an inviting outdoor patio and smaller but comfortable indoor dining space. Ordered 6 empanadas and 2 sodas at the counter for $28. They were brought to table in short order hot, crisp and tender. Favs: the gaucho, spicy chicken and the mushroom. If you are a fan of mushrooms you will LOVE the hongos mushroom-I'm still thinking about it 12 hours later! Highly recommended! read more

Rincon Argentino - 3 vegetarian and 3 meat empanadas - Argentine Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

The food used to be amazing, but it seems like maybe they changed their suppliers or ingredients. The caprese empanada, which used to be my favorite, tasted like it was filled with cheese whiz and the cheese oozed out in a way that it never did before. The menu still says it's made with mozzarella, but I've had mozzarella that tasted like that or had that consistency. Also, the steak empanada didn't have much flavor as it usually does and was kind of dry and crumbly. Also, the dessert empanadas, which I tried for the first time, were just OK. Please go back to your old suppliers/ingredients/recipes. read more
