    Cute authentic Argentine place in Nutley! Had empanadas and chorizo as afternoon snack. All types we chose were delicious (sweet beef, spicy beef and spicy chorizo). Mariano at the counter was super helpful, even numbered our empanadas so we knew what we were eating. The grilled chorizo was very tasty. Chimichori sauce Soo good, that we grabbed some on way out. They have a full menu, with grilled meats which we will try later. BYOB but they also have wine to sell as well. Support your small businesses!

    Food and services spectacular!!! It is a small quaint family owned shop with the oldest son being one of the servers who is very attentive and polite. Over all the experience was amazing, the empanadas all tasted fresh and delicious, the waiter even gave us a couple of extra flavors to try and they were so delicious.

    Flap Steak

    Something different about Argentinian empanadas (meat pies) with pasty shells that make them delicious. They give lots of meats on the sandwich and ribs. The fries were yummy with homemade dips. Actually the dips go with everything. They only thing I don't like is that they only serve bottled water claiming the tap water was not good.

    Beef Milanesa side salad comes with the meal .. Dressing is delicious

    Stopped in today after seeing on instagram for a couple of weeks .. The owner was out front greeted us super excited about his establishment .. Waitress was super sweet and attentive .. My husband is from Argentina so he's been dying for a nice beef Milanesa with eggs and fries and today he was so excited as he enjoyed it and said it was perfect ! I had the crazy salad because I was in the mood for something light and fresh and wanted to try different empanadas and I also had the Dulce de leche latte (OMG delicious) so a meal would've been a lot for me.. The crazy salad was soooooo good and the dressing on the side even better !!! ... We ordered a couple of empanadas and I'll list them below Sweet beef - Amazing !!!!! Flavor perfect Bbq pork - Soooooo tasty !!!! Almost like nice smoky bbq flavor to it Spinach - Was delicious just was a little cold Chicken - The chicken was delicious flavor was amazing I really can't complain about this visit everything was amazing and delicious wish we didn't demolish the empanadas before grabbing a photo !!!! I definitely encourage everybody to stop it whether it's for light eats or heavy the decor is so beautiful and the place was extremely clean ! I look forward to returning soon ! Pics of what we ordered ! Next time I'll grab all the beautiful empanadas

    My boyfriend and I came here so hungry and left beyond satisfied. We started with three empanadas: 4 Cheeses, Matambre, and Caprese -- my boyfriend absolutely loved the Caprese. All of the empanadas were warm, fresh, and full of flavor. They also served us homemade chimichurri and a spicy sauce, which paired perfectly with them. After that, we shared the chicken and beef ribs, along with French fries and mashed potatoes, and it was more than enough food for the two of us. Both the chicken and beef were incredibly tender, juicy, and flavorful, and the sides complemented them perfectly. The service was excellent -- very attentive and welcoming -- and the owners were extremely kind, which made the experience even better. We'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for amazing Argentine food and great hospitality!

    A little bit of this and that

    I like to support local businesses so I'm always up for trying places around my area. If you want a variety of baked empanadas go check this place out. Hopefully in the future they will serve Argentinian style pizza. Will be back soon!

    Nice spread and great food ambiance as well. Very homey and the cashiers are nice and sooo helpful!

    I really wanted to love these Argentinian empanadas -- especially since they're closer to home and would save me the trip for good, authentic ones. Unfortunately, they were a big letdown. Traditional Argentinian empanadas are usually baked, but these were fried and extremely greasy. The grease overpowered the flavor, making them hard to enjoy. To make things worse, several of them were literally falling apart. Some arrived half open, which you can see in the photos I attached. It was really disappointing, especially since I had ordered a large batch expecting to share with others. The presentation and quality just weren't there. I appreciate the effort, but these missed the mark for me -- both in taste and execution.

    es un lugar muy tranquilo y bonito con buena música de dondo

    Menu (Exterior) 2025-11-16

    This was a Sunday eatery we ended up eating at when TOPS diner was a 90 minute wait. My partner and I both really enjoy empanadas so, when this place popped on on Yelp, we just decided to go for it. We had the Empanadas (three for each of us). I should have had taken the pics of the presentation which was, in my opinion, very classy; on a long board with *just* enough room lengthwise to have six empanadas on them...each numbered in small lettering made with black food coloring. The numbers corresponded to the menu number (helps to have a paper menu at all times just to you know NOT to eat someone else's empanada). I had by menu number (See attached Menu Pics): 3. Spicy Beef: Beef, green olives, beef, onion, red bell peppers & Sauce The Crazy Spice. 14. Spicy Chorizo: Chorizo, mozzarella & mild chilies. 28. Buffalo Chicken Shredded chicken with buffalo sauce & blue cheese Hands down, I liked the Spicy Beef myself as a favorite. The others were good (although the Chorizo was skimpy on the filling for some reason), the #3 was for me. My partner had: 2. Beef Beef, green olives, onion & red bell peppers 9. Caprese (a kind of open-faced empanada) Mozzarella, tomato, fresh basil 12. Ham and Cheese: Just what it sounds like. Pedestrian to my mind, but he likes them lots as his mom makes similar ones for the family and are quite good. The empanadas were excellent as I've chronicled (to an overly mawkish, and embarrassing format), and we got more chimmichuri sauce by request. It's oily and garlicky and well worth the calories. Enough is never enough? Our server was the owners daughter and related to us they'd been open for about 7 months. That we found the place sheerly by serendipity was a boost to our morale. No, we didn't get freebies, no the "ad" isn't sponsored. We just liked the place. We didn't even allow the our *very* gracious server to deduct the smoothie she didn't bring us with our meal (we got it later, mango in fact); we want this place to to thrive as I know *I'm* going to bring people here. Pay for it and they will stay (open). The *only* thing I asked for was that when I came there again, "The Crazy Mix" was what I was going to get and I wanted the same or more stuff that I saw over at table-neighbors had. I saw it. I was there... so I can relate what I saw: "The Crazy Mix (For Two people)"** Includes: Argentinian Sausage, Chicken, Pork Ribs, Pork Chops, Beef Ribs, Steak and Served with 2 sides. It's an OBSCENE amount of food for $80. I'm not kidding. Kilos of the stuff and that's not an exaggeration. Killer deal. Our table neighbors offered us some that we politely refused while I eyed the leftovers but they gave us some leftover French fries that themselves filled a large basket. And it will be mine in due course. I had the restaurant folks promise me even if they got stupidly successful, I want past the velvet rope should they ever need them and the same or more of the Crazy. You may note the ChocoFlan pic...it's really good. Especially the caramel that soaked into the chocolate cake part. **(NO IT'S NOT. It's for like 3-5. No Kidding - You've been warned)

Not too bad but quick. Everything there looked absolutely delicious! We wanted to order everything but alas our time in tje line ended and we had to choose. So we ordered a few empanadas, pastries and coffee. Everything we ordered was delicious but I have to say my favorite savory was the Beef empanadas. Perfectly seasoned and crunchy on the outside. The pastries soft with the sweetness of the dulce de leche. Now their coffee to me personally I've had better. I fell like the food and pastries make up for the coffee. I still fell in love with this place. Isn't a cozy home away from home type of vibe. Wish we didn't live in Orlando so I can become a regular here but what can I do? I will just have to make another trip. Well, point is I fell in love with this place

    While there isn't exactly an Argentine neighborhood in New Jersey, many great restaurants are…read morelocated in the northern part of the state. Argentine cuisine is a blend of influences from the Italian and Spanish immigrants with its chief national product, beef. They say the reason Argentine steak is so good is that its cattle graze on the country's plentiful pampas grass, rather than being grain-fed as American cattle are. The result is leaner, more flavorful, and more nutritious beef. One such establishment is on Moonachie Road in Moonachie, where my partners, our friends and I decided on Saturday dinner. Reservations were easily made via OpenTable. Upon entering this cozy, modern interior of Tango Steak as first-timers, we were greeted by the host and got a table right away. We were here 3 years ago when it was El Tango Argentina Grill. The vibe has completely changed. It's now darker and louder, not family-friendly. Music was at a decent volume and does seem to increase as it gets later, giving it a lounge type. As an appetizer, we started with Beef and Chicken Empanadas as well as Calamares (Calamari). For our main meal, we decided on the Extrana (Skirt Steak) with Mashed Potatoes & Chimichurri Sauce and Tango Burger accompanied with Fries. Food was good, not awesome. Our appetizers were tasty and well seasoned. The Skirt Steaks tasted fantastic with the Chimichurri Sauce. The Mashed Potatoes had a nice texture. However, some of us asked that their Tango Burgers be made medium but came out well done. The Fries were salty and very dry. Our service was horrendous, but our server was Nathaly who was accommodating and apologetic. Some of us had gotten their appetizer faster than others. The duration between our appetizers and the main meal was an hour. The food was not cheap given the portions received and the 20% gratuity added automatically to the bill. With insult to injury, their valet attendant charged $5. Definitely not what we expected, which is why we sadly can't recommend this place.

Owner Pablo and his staff introduced me to five of the most popular items on the menu. Empanadas: These Argentinian turnovers come in five flavors: Beef, Chicken, Caprese, Spinach, Ham & Cheese. Have one or have them all; the choice is yours! Buenos Aires Salad: This may be an appetizer, but this salad practically eats like a meal. My favorite toppings were the avocado and shrimp. I don't have an acquired taste for hard boiled eggs; but everything else was perfect. Argentinian Grill for Two: Although this barbecue is meant for two, it can easily serve three people. This carnivorous entrée is filled with all of your favorite proteins including skirt steak, blood sausage, Argentinian sausage, and beef ribs. All meats are cooked with wooden charcoal so it has that authentic hint of wooden flavor. As a bonus, this entrée is served on a table grill with charcoal. Grilled Sea Food With Lobster: You won't need to travel down the shore for seafood when you explore this dish. It has all of your favorite dishes from under the sea. Seafood Mix With Rice: Here is a variation of the previous entrée except everything is served over a heaping pile of yellow rice. If you are fan of soccer, this is definitely a perfect hang out spot. The walls are adorned with beautiful wall art and souvenirs praising the highly appreciated international sport. It was a pleasure exploring Argentinian cuisine in this fine dining establishment. #choripan #choripanrodizio #hackensacknj #seafoodmix #grilledseafood #argentiniangrill #empanadas #buenosairessalad #foodstagram #njfoodie #localbusiness

What you just have to be aware of is that if you are looking for Italian pizza, this is not Italian pizza. It might look like it, but if that's what you're used to in looking for, this might taste a little off, but it's not off, it's just different, some different seasoning in it. Not as much my thing, but approaching it for what it is, this is more than not bad, this is a good spot. You can go a few blocks up and have Domino's and struggle not to regurgitate for several hours afterwards, but this would certainly be a better choice than that. I would say give it a try, you might even like it more, different people have different tastes, but the quality is good and the service is excellent and the prices aren't bad at all, so while it might not be entirely my thing, I can still recommend it.
