A Taste of Argentina: Unforgettable Empanadas from Empanadas de Mendoza

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional catering services provided by Gabi and her restaurant, Empanadas de Mendoza. I hired Gabi to cater lunch for my office, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. From the very beginning, Gabi was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the selection process for the perfect combination of empanadas to suit everyone's tastes, including a vegan option.

The empanadas and churros that Gabi prepared were simply amazing, with the spicy beef empanada being a standout favorite. It's been three days since the lunch, and my colleagues are still raving about the deliciousness of the empanadas. I can confidently say that I will be ordering from Gabi again in the future!

Gabi's passion for sharing her culture and love for empanadas began in 2013 at a local farmers market, where she introduced her hometown of Mendoza, Argentina's favorite treat. Empanadas, for Gabi, symbolize family, friends, and fun. Gabi's dedication to her craft and her passion for sharing her culture truly shine through in the exquisite food she prepares.

If you haven't yet experienced Empanadas de Mendoza, I highly recommend giving them a try. Gabi's delicious empanadas are sure to make any event truly...

I placed my online order at 11:45am for their food truck and was told I wouldn’t get my order until 1:15pm despite their line being short. I ordered two empanadas and fries so a very small order to fill. When I went to the food truck early I was told my order couldn’t be filled until the time I was given despite them filling numerous walk up orders. All while I sat there and waited for my order time. I haven’t even tried the food yet, but I know it isn’t worth the hassle or very long wait. I never leave reviews, but I want to make sure to warn people to just order in person or prepare for a SIGNIFICANT wait for no reason, if you order online.

They should really switch to fulfilling online orders as people show up to the food truck to pick up the order instead of providing pick up times and not giving the option...

I was skeptical at first, but can now verify the empanadas are authentic! The traditional beef has the egg and olive (iykyk!) as expected and is delicious! Their recipe is so close to my family's, which makes me nostalgic and want to go back! I am happy to support this business and give a 5 star review. I like that you can order pre-made empanadas to take home or uncooked sets of empanadas to take home and freeze for making later. The variety is great and prices reasonable considering empanada-making is time consuming. Their desserts are also delicious. Highly recommend! As an aside, I had a great customer service experience once. I had a pre-order I was unable to pick up and their customer service was kind and understanding. They fully refunded me. This is a great business to support and enjoy, especially if you...
