Tango Empanadas & Tacos — Restaurant in Ridgeland

I've passed by here many times, but have never been able to drop by because my schedule and their hours have never aligned. While picking up dinner, I noticed their lights were on, so of course I busted a U-ie! I told myself that I already have dinner, so grab one or two to snack on... obviously that went right over my head once I saw the empanadas nestled nicely in the cases 😆 They had 5 varieties tonight, I got the Beef, Chicken, Ham and Cheese, and the Caprese, it came with chimichurri sauce.

This is my first time having Argentinian empanadas, so I can't tell you if it's authentic, but I can tell you it's definitely delicious!! I thoroughly enjoyed the spices, the outside layer of the bread was light and airy, it was like eating a cloud of meat pies. We liked them all, but our favorite was the one that looked the least stuffed, it was supposed to be Ham and Cheese, but I swear it was caramelized onions and cheese. I looked at their menu (posted in comments) and they did have an onion and cheese empanada. They probably gave us that on accident and I ain't complaining, I can eat my weight in that one and the beef.

Well, I've definitely been missing out. I wished I got more, especially the onion and cheese, and beef one 🤤🤤🤤 Posted their menu in...

Best empanadas in the city. Great food, fine service and sparkling clean interiors. Dropped by for dinner following a friend's recommendation and we were floored. So many options for authentic empanadas. We tried the beef, the tuna, the chicken, and the onion and cheese. I'd be hard pressed to pick the best one, but the tuna empanada was so unexpectedly awesome, that I'd go with that. But all of them were delicious. The perfectly spiced meat filling with the tiny bits of boiled eggs made for a mouth watering combo. The al pastor tacos were also splendid. We also had a taste of the smooth and creamy guacamole with our chips. Didn't have much room for dessert, so we brought home a tres leches cake. And wow! Such smooth, milky sweetness with a strawberry twist.

The owners were so pleasantly nice. They offered helpful recommendations, and pleasant conversation. The empanadas are mostly premade and so there's very little wait time. Will definitely have to go back for the fajitas and obviously...

Excellent refried beans, which I believe to be a vital benchmark for any restaurant that serves them. Great guacamole. The rice is just as I like it. We usually eat vegetarian or pescatarian, and the shrimp tacos and veggie tacos on their homemade corn tortillas are regularly part of our to-go order. The fried avocado tacos, and the sauce that come with them are fantastic! If you are dining in, they have a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, including frozen margaritas, which are tasty. Great tortas, soup and very good French fries. The empanadas are the best in town that we have found, and we love the chimichurri served with them. They reheat well the next day at home too. The salsa is good. If you like spicy, ask for the habanero sauce too. Super friendly staff that are committed to providing a quality menu, and great experience and an investment in our community. Highly recommended for takeout or dine-in. Discount if you pay cash rather than using a card..let them know how you...
