Tango's Empanadas & Grill - Meridian - , The empanadas were the best , The outside is flaky and crisp,I had the beef birra.. My son had the chicken tinga supreme. - Empanadas Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

This was a 10 out of 10 experience for my daughter. That is a huge deal since she is really particular about her food. She got the mac and cheese empanada and it was perfectly cooked on the outside, delicious mac and cheese filling, and crunchy fries. I got gaucho empanada combo with a guava Jarritos (my favorite). The filling in my empanada was perfectly seasoned, not oily or too moist. It was just enough so it wasn't dry, but didn't make the shell soggy. For dessert ny daughter got the churros with strawberry jam and I got a guava empanada (sub cream cheese for mozzarella). Next time I'll try it with mozzarella, but I really wanted to try cream cheese/guava combo. It was so hard to decide what to get because everything looked good. Now that everything tasted so good, I need to go back. So sad that I'm only in Boise for a few days. Service was excellent - they give you a number and bring it to the table hot and fresh. There is a good amount of seating, nice ambiance, and clean restrooms. read more

We walked into a clean, spacious place and ordered at the counter. Huge selection of empanadas, some tortas and desserts. The empanadas were really good. D and I split 4 different ones and brought 2 home for dessert. The price was fair, and al 4 had very tasty fillings. Birria, tinga supreme, rancho and Chinese vegetarian all hit the spot. We enjoyed it and will go back. read more

Both tango's locations are fantastic! Always delicious food and great service. You can't go wrong with any of the empanadas but my favorite are BBQ, Rancho, and Cafemello. The fries are a must as well! read more

Tango's Empanadas & Grill - Meridian - Rancho Barbecue Rafi - Empanadas Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Amazing food and great service. Everyone is always kind and attentive. My favorites are the Jugosa, Rancho, and Pampa.

In town for a soccer tournament and went with the Triple D recommendation. Unfortunately we got there at 6:55 and they close at 7 so we had to grab something quick to go. However, glad we did because they were easily the best empanadas I've ever had. That crust was amazing. Hoping I get a chance to go back and sample more options. read more

Stopped by here for lunch with my husband, who's from South America, and we enjoyed our experience! We ordered the Gaucho, Saltena, Tinga, La Boca, Cheese, and Arroz Con Leche. The service is quick and friendly. There's plenty of indoor seating and lots of parking as well. The empanadas were nice and hot! My personal favorite was the Saltena - it was juicy, savory, and delicious! Definitely want to come back here to try the other flavors. read more

Wow wow WOW these empanadas are HUGE!! The pictures don't really demonstrate just how much bigger these empanadas are than I expected. As an added bonus, they are also delicious! I gotta hand it to my guy, Guy Fieri, for showcasing this specific empanada restaurant on his DDD show. The producers really did their research here. I also did my research on what to order beforehand as their menu is huge and can cater to most tastes out there. I ordered the same as Guy did, the pork-based "El Puerco," as well as a beef option that is considered a traditional Argentinian empanada, the "Gaucho." For dessert, I enjoyed a warm "La Nona," as dulce de leche and bananas is such a winning combination. The empanadas exterior were crunchy and airy, and surprisingly not greasy at all for a fried food. All 3 of my choices were filled to the brim with their respective fillings. The meat was fully cooked and seemed to be of decent quality. As for the restaurant itself, the staff weren't too helpful in helping my friends narrow down what they wanted to eat, but the interior was clean and had a lot of tables and chairs, perfect for large groups. The best part of my whole experience was the PRICE! I know, I'm surprised as well that a restaurant in 2023 had reasonable/cheap prices! We all ate very well at around $8-12 a person. read more

My first time to try fried empanadas so I came to the newer Tango's. I read the review about the big empanadas but not much ingredients inside the empanadas and it's true! Not much inside at all. The flavor is, great but the inside stuffing was disappointing. I went to the original location and it blows the doors off the new location. It was packed inside the tiny restaurant for a great reason. Their empanadas were packed full of deliciousness. Needless to say, go to the original location and you will not leave hungry or disappointed. read more

'Hidden?' Gem. Awesome empanadas and friendly service. Extra points for the bathroom 'street alley'. Came for a snack but will be back with the family for a full meal soon! read more

I've heard such good things about this place so we drove 30 minutes to try it out... workers were nice. we got our food to go and when we got home I cut them in half to split with my son and they were pretty much empty. mine and I got him the kids meal ones and his were empty as well??? pretty disappointed read more

I love empanadas and am often disappointed by limited options, the dough or the overall price. Then, luckily, I found Tango's! What a welcome surprise. Friendly and helpful service. Empanadas take a wee bit longer than usual to come out...but they are hot, fresh and most definitely worth the wait. I thoroughly enjoyed the "El Puerco" the best. Chimicarne was very good. The dough was soft enough to eat yet firm enough to hold on the fillings. Dough was very savory without being a competitor to the superior fillings inside! All the meat was perfectly seasoned without being overpowering. The dough to filling ratio was on point. My daughter and husband enjoyed the Gardel empanada and upgraded to the combo (which is an amazing price!). They both gobbled down everything, including the crispy golden fries. We cannot wait to go back and enjoy more options this amazing menu has to offer. Excellent job! read more

Foods great. The WATER ON THE OTHER HAND, tastes like toilet water. It completely spoils the experience. I've ate there multiple times and the water is the problem. Fix the water and you'll be golden. Thanks read more

Our first time trying Tango's and we'll definitely be going back! We enjoyed the birria empanada and it the meat had so much flavor that you didn't even need the consommé. Their empanada dough is so flaky and flavorful. We also devoured 2 cheeseburger deluxe empanadas...the addition of mustard gives the right amount of tang and flavor to the whole thing. Yum! read more

What a great place! The empanadas are light and flaky and the various fillings are delicious!! We highly recommend! Can't wait to go back.

Tango's new location at this Meridian is in "pre-opening" mode as of January 17, 2022 doing take out only on Mon - Fri and hours are limited to 3p - 7p. Details follow. Reviews posted here with dates prior to 1/17/22 appear to be for Tango's old Nampa location which closed a couple of years ago. Looks as if Nampa reviews were carried over to this new Meridian. Regardless, the bricks and mortar store in Meridian just opened as of 1/17/22 (owners originally hoped for opening in early 2021). Here is what you might find useful to know before you go to enjoy empanadas made by these lovely owners who are originally from Buenos Aires so they know Argentinian food and started introducing Boise to it in about 2006 when they opened the original Tango's in Boise. For the Meridian shop: *Hours are M-F 3:00 - 7:00 *No dine in options now, carry out only. Orders need to be phoned in or texted in advance and no later than 2:00. 208-447-0701 *Credit card payment only for now *All 50 empanada options are available, but only empanadas at this location and for now no gluten free empanadas can be ordered for here. Empanada menu is at the top of Yelp page. *When this Meridian location is fully open it will include an Argentinian grill menu too. NOTES: *This location - Near Big Lots and Albertson's, same complex, on E. Fairview. is easier to access than the Boise location and they have a parking lot. *The parking lot has ADA / accessible parking. The building is level in for people with mobility disabilities. *These are fried empanadas. If you're looking for baked empanadas you can find those in Meridian too, owners are also from Argentina and are in the kitchen making their delicious food, down Fairview a mile so so at The Empanada Club which has been open for maybe four years. read more

So good. Tons of selection and even a picky eater (or kid!) can find something to love. They have authentic flavor combinations from Argentine cooking to pizza and Mac n cheese empanadas. They have wonderful savory and sweet choices. The restaurant has a really cool Latin vibe and the staff is mostly friendly. Have been back several times! read more

Like most empanada joints I've eaten at, the crust was disappointing. It should be like a pie crust, crisp, buttery, etc.

Tango's is a great place. We have tried to get over and give it a try to enjoy some empanadas. Well we were in the area and hungry so we pulled into the place. Welcomed at the counter by the well informed young lady who let us know about their special and each empanada. The place was very clean and welcoming. I ordered the Carne Asada empanada and the green chili pork empanada. My wife had the Gandhi and saltina. OMG they were all very tasty, hot and freshly prepared. Make sure you give them a try read more

I received a sugar crusted meat filled empanada when I clearly ordered a cherry empanada. The mistake would be easier to tolerate if I hadn't encountered a metric ton of attitude from the staff during my order. I placed my to go order at 6:40, you close at 7. I apologized for the inconvenience and I tipped you well - and you still couldn't get it right and you still gave me attitude. read more

Empanadas.... Delicious molten lava hot filling that will cauterize the inside roof of your mouth potentially burning a hole through your cheek. You may experience hallucinations, tears, and self loathing. In your pain you will find no answers to any of the questions and doubts relating to your place in the cosmos... And yet there is hope... they come wrapped in a light flaky melt in your mouth pastry... read more

Everything was so yummy! Best authentic Empanadas I've had! Staff was very nice. The wait was short and dining room was clean.

We got 6 different savory empanadas. Each were hot, and fresh. Crispy flavorful dough. Savory, flavorful fillings. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Staff was helpful. The owner came out and welcomed us. Enjoyed it so much we decided to get some dessert empanadas to go. We will be back again and again. read more

We went to Tango's yesterday. We had a couple of saltenas and chimicarnes. Both were excellent. Also we had mango dessert empanada which was delicious. We'll happily go back. read more

Delicious Empanada's and dessert was to die for. Had really good and friendly service. It was my first time to visit this establishment. I will recommend to everyone read more

Very good, very large empanadas. Shared the Gaucho, Beef Tonga and Molah (sic?) for savory. Then for sweet, tried the Caramelo, Chocolate, and Blueberry. Each had great flavors. Service was great. But, no tables to sit down at for indoor dining. Told their supplier is having difficulty with everything being back ordered. For a traveler this means taking the food back to the hotel or, worse, eating in the car. Meanwhile, they have this huge floor with no tables. Maybe they could hist some dance events! Will come back though. read more

So happy the Meridian location opened. We miss the Nampa location, but for an office lunch I made the drive for our team. Excellent customer service and beyond delicious empanadas! read more

The dessert empanadas were excellent! I'd definitely go back specifically for those. The peaches and cream flavor was definitely my favorite empanada there. read more

There are so many things to like about Tangos. The choices and flavors are delicious. The dough is light and airy. The owners and staff are down to earth. They are humble, welcoming, and just good people. I appreciate the cultural pieces the have embedded into the new restaurant beyond just the food, from the dancing playing on screens to the painted hallways and bathrooms (make sure to read the plaque). The dedication of the owners and team has been impressive in keeping both locations open especially during these challenging times of limited people wanting to work. Impressive! read more

Ehhhhh wasn't impressed at all. Weve been dying to try this place and ordered a few empanadas. The owner is very nice and friendly but the food was quite disappointing. It wasn't even half full with filling on any of them. Empty dough :( I was really excited for the hot sauce I asked for because they couldn't make it spicy but I got him and didn't have any looks like their subs might be yummy though! read more

The dessert empanadas are my favorite. Hours are business only which is a bummer. Closed on Sundays and most days at 7pm

Hands down the best empanadas in Boise! Flaky and filled with a little bit of heaven! Do yourself a favor and try them out, you will not be disappointed. read more

If you're already familiar with Tango's empanadas on the bench near BSU, then you already know how good these are. The good news now is that they are in Meridian with the same great empanadas and indoor seating for more than 50. We love the chicken moleh empanada and the chimicarne with beef, potatoes and onions. They also have other dishes like an Argentina style sub sandwich and cheese and dessert empanadas. You do need to try it out! The empanadas are made to order but they get them done quickly and they always come out hot! Between $3.5 and $4 each sounds expensive but they are surprisingly filling! Come try this locally owned place out. read more

I ordered 4 empanadas for delivery. Unfortunately only 2 empanadas were sufficiently full. The other 2 were only a quarter full, if that! The taste was decent (not a 5/5 as parts of were doughy) but where's the quality control?? As far as taste, I would only order one of my selections again. The other 3 were pretty meh. Gaucho was good. Full and cooked enough. Linguica was less than a quarter full, undercooked. Hawaiian was about a quarter full and def just ok. Lemon was also just ok but was not any better than the little warmed pies from McDonald's only the dough on this one isn't sweetened so it isn't very tasty especially when it's undercooked. Pretty disappointed. I'd be very unhappy if I had gotten only one for take out for lunch and went on my merry way to find only one bite of filling once I got back to the office! read more

We'll definitely be back!! read more
