Argentine Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“Just tried the chicken & nopal empanadas…..SO GOOD!! Packed with flavor and filling. 🙌🏻 I liked how the actual masa (outer flour coating) is not thick but rather thin making the empanada balanced. I need to go back and get more, i’m obsessed!! Also note, they’re not greasy - most empanadas are deep friend and I like how these aren’t!“

“Empanadas are just okay, definitely overpriced and not genuinely Argentinian. The dough is flaky and very well done, although again far from a classic empanada from Argentina. Would not line up for 30 minutes for this, only worth it if you're walking by and there's no line.“

“This little gem is located inside Ferry Building Marketplace. It’s is one of the few places open early in the morning to get food. The woman working was friendly. We had no wait. I ate the Fugazzeta Empanada… it literally melted in my mouth. It was the best empanada I have ever had. The price seemed high for just one, but the taste made it worth it!“

“Excellent place, great flavors of Argentina try the Sanwhich de milanesa“

“I'm on Columbus street because my old Army pal Joe Schlong needed some help installing a Crystatillian Retarder on a Beachfrat Balifoon he picked up from the Philharmonic, so I offered my help. It required the precision of a surgeon with skinny fingers and the ability to work between heartbeats, and that left me out so I enlisted the help of Mary-Joe Chipinski the retired Bomb Deactivater for the NYPD Bomb Squad who just happened to be in town for this weekend's Large Munitions Trade Show at the Cow Palace.. What luck! The Schlong was so happy he walked the half block over to Il Pillaio Restaurant and brought back some pretty amazing chicken dinners! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆“

“I just visited the one on polk and the coffee is delicious.. the establishment was very clean and has beautiful paint that's relaxing to the eyes. There large selection of empanadas and friendly employees is something nice for a change in the neighborhood. I got caught up talking to a customer about the bathhouse on eddy as I was adding to my coffee 3.50. Unbeknownst to me it was the owner and cute too lol.. will definitely be my goto morning coffee shop now.. thanks for being here for us :)“

“Wonderful food, great service and we enjoyed it very much.“

“Great empanadas!! It’s an awesome breakfast treat!“
