The BEST empanadas I’ve ever had. Seriously. A staple spot in Delray Beach.

Always fresh and packed full with flavor. Lots of variety, my favorites are the Cubano, De Messi, Birria, and Carne. The owner is always taking orders, serving customers, and making everything fresh, he’s an awesome and friendly dude. Honestly great vibes, can’t recommend more highly.

Watched a food review video about them, made me crave some empanadas. Food looked bomb. Decided to support.

Forget the restaurant chains in downtown Delray Beach. Head south down SE 5th Avenue for the best empanadas in the area. My wife, eight-year-old daughter, and I went on a Saturday morning in July. Here’s our experience.

1) Food: The owner Allen makes fresh Argentinian empanadas in 12 flavors, including a vegan option and sweet one. The savory empanadas range from classic to more American inspired like the Cheeseburger Empanada.

We ordered the Carne Empanada and Spicy BBQ Pork Empanada. Both were excellent- full of flavor, fresh, and so good. We ended up ordering an extra Carne one because our daughter loved it too.

They also sell smoothies and acai bowls. We all enjoyed the Acai Nutella Bowl with raspberries, bananas, and more. (Ask for extra spoons to share.)

2) Drinks: They sell coffee drinks like lattes and cafe con leche and Coca-Cola products. Three kinds of beers are on the menu too.

3) Service: Allen runs the entire shop. He’s kind and passionate about the business he’s building for his family. Food comes out quickly.

4) Space: Inside a tiny space within a building with local shops and murals, The Gringo comes with a tiny window where you order. A few picnic tables are nearby with umbrellas for shade.

So far, The Gringo is the best food experience we’ve had in Delray Beach!

Gringo is hands down the best empanadas in south Florida with the kindest whole hearted, down to earth owner/staff. Highly recommend for those who are looking for a quick bite or yummy lunch! They have great acai as well. #supportsmallbusiness

Delicious Argentine empanadas with a great variety of flavors! Crispy outside, juicy and flavorful inside. Each one was unique and satisfying — you can really taste the quality. A must-try!

Love authentic local spots like this. Owner hails from Argentina and his empanana recipes are really, really, good. I like the shredded beef and buffalo chicken best but they are all delicious.
