Argentine Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“Nice corner cafe serving a wide variety of empanadas, sandwiches, and a few other baked goods. They offer a long menu of beverage options, including coffee, tea, smoothies, chocolate drinks, etc. I tried the mushroom empanada and harvest greens smoothie, which were good, but nothing special.

This cafe has a casual ambience with a low key vibe. There's a mishmash of tables & decor.

There's a large screen TV mounted on the wall that was playing a world cup soccer match fairly loudly, which most of the customers were watching. I'm not sure how often they have sports games playing, but when they do it's not a great spot for having a conversation or focusing on work or reading.“

“First timer! It was delicious! Everything was great. I felt so bad because it was crazy busy and this girl just hustling from grabbing orders and being cashier all at the time. I asked her if she had help but it looks like the co worker left for lunch. I would definitely say she handled it gracefully and provided excellent service. We will definitely be back especially for the lBanana Dulce De Leche + try others :)“

“In a city full of over-priced and marginal slop restaurants, Il Pollaio stands out for consistency, quality and reliable eating. Not the fanciest, but that's fine as well, but welcoming and always on point. Lamb chops are my personal favorite, although everything is solid. Minestrone soup excellent when available.“

“After the Giants game, we were scouring good food and saw the empanadas sign and raced over… but it was closed. To our surprise, the owner peeked out and asked if we wanted to come in (!) and we were able to grab a few to-go!!! Incredible homemade flavors and very warm customer service. The empanadas were 💯thank you again !“

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

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

“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!“
