Very cute boutique cafe. Pastries are fresh with quality ingredients. Every bite had layers of flavors. Fluffy, lightly sugar pasteries with dense vanilla or chocolate filling. Clean and modern

I came here before heading to the Caltrain station. There isn’t as much food around this area as I was guessing but Cafe Buenos Aires was a real gem.

It’s a pretty small space, with seating for maybe 10-15 people total including chairs outside. The staff working seem to have a number of regulars, as while I was there (for about an hour), multiple people came in and chatted with them, which was nice to see!

They have a pretty expansive menu of empanadas, with lots of veggie options and a good selection of vegan options. You order at the front and they heat them for you before serving — it took about 5 minutes to get my order after ordering.

The empanadas themselves were amazing. I ordered a Humita and a Nopales empanada. Both were delicious, and the Humita was a type I’ve never had before. Next time I’m in SF, I’ll come back to try more of them!!

Delicious empanadas, although quite small for the price. You'll want to buy a few because they taste amazing!

The empanadas are delicious.

However, the website allows you to order and pick up at 9am. When I arrived, they open at 9am. The employee arrived at 9:03am.

It took a while to heat up the oven and package everything. I added instructions to separate the orders and that wasnt followed. I didn't leave the store until 9:40am!
Which made me late to work.

If the shop opens at 9am. Someone should be there before to set up and be ready. And also, the website shouldn't allow pick up at 9am if they're not ready.

Come here if youre not in a rush.

Absolutely delicious empanadas! Had the beef, carne, and peach and brought them to the Giants game to enjoy. What a win! Best I've had in the city hands down.

Tried the chicken empanada and was underwhelmed given the high reviews that this cafe has. It was nice that the empanadas were not greasy but the leading flavor was saltiness and I felt unsatisfied with the texture of the wrapping. Additionally, the price didn’t seem to align with the serving size. Aside from that, great service and cute interior!

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 :)
