The empanadas were amazing! They have a golden crust and are crispy, buttery, and everything you could ask for! A variety of flavors and are given fries to snack on while you wait for your empanadas. I will definitely be coming again!

Had the pleasure of trying Grumpy Gaucho’s empanadas and churros at the Lombard Food Truck Fest on 9/16 - and, there is nothing grumpy about it! The empanadas were SO GOOD! So much flavor packed into each option, I could have easily had 10 more. And it was the best churro I’ve had in a long time. Look forward to finding him again next food truck season.

Bad quality lately... dry chicken and flaky pastry. Not that unique flavoring anymore.

These are real Argentinian empanadas!! Love them! They are big and tasty. Enjoyed them from the truck at Naperville’s farmer’s market

They were doing an event at the corporate center today and this was one of the giveaways. It was two empanadas. I have the beef traditional and the chicken pesto. Beef traditional was tastier than the chicken pesto. Either way, they were savoring enough that it was effectively in my lunch this afternoon. Since I didn't really pay attention to price, I couldn't weigh in on that versus the amount of food and quality. Since this was an event, I suspect that they fried all of these earlier in the day so that they can be prepared to hand out empanadas at speed. I would suspect when made fresh, they would be pretty awesome.

Soo good. The best empanadas around. These are amazing and that chimichurri sauce is fantastic. Definitely recommend checking out Grumpy Gaucho. They have a brick and mortar location along with a food truck that is very active in the community.

This food truck is fabulous! Experienced their food for the first time last night. Had the chicken pesto empanadas. So delicious! They were crispy and hot and stuffed full of meat. Service was quick and the owner was very nice and engaging. Now I know why my friend ordered extras to take home! I want more! :) Already decided to check out the storefront location tomorrow and I can't wait! :)

You never know what you might get with a food truck, so my friend and I were pleasantly surprised with empanadas and churros from The Grumpy Gaucho!I got the chicken pesto and the bbq pork, she got the chicken pesto and the spinach ricotta. I thought the bbq pork was the better of mine (very flavorful, savory and saucy); the chicken pesto was tasty but the filling was a bit dry. By comparison, she said she preferred the chicken pesto.The churro was delicious: light and not greasy, with a judicious dusting of cinnamon sugar.I would definitely seek them out again at another event!
