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!

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!

Wait started probably around 6pm although there were still empty tables then. They provide garnishes for your water and also provide 4 salsas/accompaniments for your meal. I got the 16 oz ribeye served on hot stones. They cooked it slightly less than what you want, so for my medium rare, they cook it rare. It also comes with chimichurri and molacete(?) which has a more refreshing flavor. They season with rosemary and even light a branch on fire for more aroma. I tried a bite of my friend's filet mignon which was good, but my preferred cut is the ribeye or NY strip. We also shared the papa loca (worth it - so good) and the cauliflower (not as good, but I'm comparing it to a version made by Cuerno, a Mexican steakhouse in NY). I had a glass of the pinot noir and the garzon, and both were good, slightly tannic and 'juicy'.

The first time I got the Wagyu tacos which were sooo good and I love the variety and flavor of the sauces. I loved how simple the taco Wagyu is as the meat is high quality For my second visit I got the Vacio Wagyu which came in a sizzling hot stone plate and it stayed hot for me to cook all of my Wagyu. It didn't really need the accompanied sauce but it was nice to have. I felt the large rock salt was a little bit nub and would make it too saucey but I found the rosemary a perfect combination with the Wagyu especially as one was cooking underneath. Excellent service as well - our server was attentive and timely. I've only gone here for lunch and we did not have to make a reservation as it was not too busy!

What luck that Pampeana Empanadas was going to be in the U-District! I picked up a beef (ground beef, onions, sweet peppers, raisins, hard-boiled egg, and garlic) and apple and dulce de leche (apples, cinnamon, clove mix, and Argentine dulce de leche). These adorable little pockets were browned nicely and well seasoned. I enjoyed the flavor of the beef mixture and still haven't figured out if I like the raisins (but it's not bad). I love hard-boiled eggs in my empanadas and it's something that I look forward to. The apple had a nice texture. It was not as sweet as I was expecting so it didn't quite hit the mark for me. I want to go back every week until I try all of them!

The garlicky oily dipping sauce added even more flavor to the savory empanadas and gave me dragon breath all day but it was so worth it! There is a good amount of seating here. I love the futbol decor and airiness of the place. There is some lot parking out front and street parking is also an option and where I found parking. The only downside to my experience coming here recently is how they forgot to include my ham & cheese empanada in the to go box that was nicely packaged and sealed so I couldn't check to see if it was there until I unpacked my order and found that it was not there. I didn't want to deal with the hassle of calling them to get a refund for it or drive back for it. Also, I don't feel like giving them one less star right now on this review because of it. I'm considering it this time as a natural human error and donation to this nice small business. Hopefully, they will be more careful and efficient my next visit because their product was very tasty and I do want go back there again soon to try more.

On…read moremy way to Bothell via Lake City Way to Hwy 522, I was able to snag a parking lot close to Seatango (3/27/26). Walking in, it was nice to see the space reconfigured to allow more kitchen and pastry case space. Plus the interior is a lot more warmer with wall color and vibrant art work which is enhanced by the natural light. This makes for a more pleasant dining area. I was kind of overwhelmed with the immense selection and variety in the wrap around pastry case. I'm glad that the counter person was patient with me as I seriously gave consideration since clearly I can't say - one of each please, lol. I ended up exercising restraint and selected two ham and cheese empanadas with chimichurri and two chocolate covered chocolate alfajores with dulce de leche as takeout. The Homie ate one empanada with chimichurri later that day. I ate mine the next day with the remaining chimichurri. We can both attest that the quality has remained despite the near five year hiatus. The alfajores also was delicious, no surprise there. Next visit, I'm going to inquire further about the assortment of pastries in the front pastry case. There was no individual signage displayed during my visit. Again, glad to see another indie business survive post-pandemic and during these challenging economic times.

Moons ago, my friend and I drove across one state to hunt for empanadas --- that's how badly we wanted one. Seattle -- you don't have to work that hard. "LOVE" is real close by! WESTERN WA & BEYOND: Go to LAKE CITY for the most SAVORY & SWEET empanadas!! The empanadas are HUGE but most of all, DELICIOUS! Walk in, take in the glorious aromas! Breathe it in. It's pure joy! We eat with our eyes. I was mesmerized by the baked good display. It is a very thoughtful, organized and wonderfully presented food items presentation. So much love goes into making these baked delights! Still, that's not where it ends-- look at my pictures. There are many goodies to choose from. Don't drool too hard. Just get there and order a box of many! This place has an OLD WORLD CHARM. In a small way, I fell in love with the decorations, colors, the smell of warm sugar, the space ... I talked the few customers present. Every person said roughly the same thing, "TRY EVERYTHING. You can't go wrong. It's all amazing. Sweet or savory. No matter." Everything is HAND-MADE. The bakery is small but the space, display, warm and welcoming. I found street parking -- no problem. I was waiting for my dog to get bathed and groomed nearby. Found myself wanting a snack. Just needed a little something to hold me over until a real meal. Had no idea that my beef [there is also chicken, many more flavors] empanada is a MEAL in itself. The man who waits on you knows his products very well even though it takes a few seconds for him to WARM UP to you. Still, he is a wonderful, friendly & hard working man. An amazing shop speaks for itself when you walk in. I'd drive across state lines to eat at SEATANGO! Try it and see how you like it. I suspect, like any place -- going OFF PEAK times will garnish you more attention by the wait staff. Still, don't wait to go. Go to Seatango now ... no regrets! PS -- Please Understand. This is my first time ever giving a WA bakery 5 stars.

I came to Asadero Ballard last weekend for the first time and had a really good experience. We…read moreordered steak and it was served on a hot stone, which kept the steak nice and hot throughout the meal. I enjoyed the experience enough that I decided to come back and celebrate my birthday here with my parents, who flew from Miami to visit me in Seattle. I specifically chose Asadero because I wanted them to have the same experience I had the week before. Unfortunately, my birthday dinner was completely different. We ordered three steaks and all three came out on regular ceramic plates instead of the hot stones we had received the previous week. The steaks were already lukewarm, and they weren't even served with the salt we had received previously--we had to ask for that separately. What made it even more frustrating was looking around the restaurant and seeing other tables receiving their steaks on hot stones while ours were served differently. When we brought this up, we were told that apparently you have to specifically ask for your steak to be served on a hot stone. This was never communicated to us. During our first visit, we never requested a hot stone; the steak was simply served that way. There was also nothing we saw on the menu explaining that it had to be requested, and our server never asked whether we preferred our steaks on regular plates or hot stones. How are customers supposed to know they need to request something that was automatically provided during a previous visit? We explained to the manager that when you're paying a premium price for steak, you expect some level of consistency. The manager did try to make it right by bringing one warm stone to the table after we complained, even though we had ordered three steaks. At that point, I'm not really sure what one stone was supposed to accomplish. Our steaks had already been served lukewarm and the experience was already ruined. The most disappointing part was that this was my birthday dinner. My parents flew from Miami to spend my birthday with me, and I chose Asadero specifically because of how much I enjoyed my first visit. Instead, I spent part of my birthday dinner frustrated and watching the tables around us receive the experience I thought I was bringing my family there for. If serving the steak on a hot stone is by request only, that needs to be clearly communicated on the menu or by the server. Customers shouldn't be expected to somehow know that, especially when the restaurant served the exact same dish differently just one week earlier without us requesting anything. Really disappointing experience and a big regret choosing Asadero for my birthday dinner. Unfortunately, after tonight, I would not recommend it.
