Truth be told, we got here about 50 minutes before the scheduled closing time. It may have been a slow day, so there was not a lot of "excitement" when we walked in the door.The shop has plenty of ambience, and could be picked up and moved to any small town in Argentina from Mendoza to Salta, and the photos on the wall and the tables add to that. There's a few soccer photos that primarily spend time paying homage to Messi,, but there is no reverence to Boca juniors, River, or Quillmes. In a way, it's refreshing. The tostones are ranked either the best or next to the best in town. The look of the empanadas gave us hope. The drawback was that these were greasy because they were fried. When we opened the container, there was grease that coated the entire bottom. The lamb was delicious option, but it was tough to try the others because the amount of grease. That said, it's probably the second best empanadas in the city that one can order from a restaurant (my friends and their mothers are still the best).That said, we're going to try them again and hope it was a one off

You need to try this place. More than just once. Choripan is only a mile from my house. I've been meaning to go here for over a year. I've tried it tonight and was glad I did. I had the carne empanadas, chicken wings, grilled chicken sandwich, potato salad and sweet potato fries. All were very good, the empanadas was great and my wife enjoyed the grill chicken and sweet potato fries. Apart from this I really believe in the mission that Joel has committed. Not just a heath diet, but a conscientious decision to move toward a better way of life. Try this place! I will definitely head back soon and venture into other dishes.

My daughter and her husband invited me here. It was wonderful. The gluten free empanadas are great. The place was clean and the man was very nice and helpful. I will be back!

I loved how knowledgeable the staff was on the menu, they know it like the back of their hand and make your meal by hand. It's a small eat-in restaurant which gave me some European vibes for sure (if you've ever been). I'll definitely be back to try the lamb, chimichurri, pizza, and sandwiches. It's a gluten free paradise! We got 6 empanadas for around $25 and the ranch. We loved all of them but would say the chicken and pork are top tier tasty! We tried those two, plus the chorizo which was well seasoned, carne which was juicy, papa y queso which was like a fried pierogi, and the Espinoza which was spinach and cheese. They were all tasty and the ranch is made with fresh herbs hence the colors. It has a cooling effect like the a cucumber sauce. I would definitely recommend a sauce, they have a few with a kick to them which I think would enhance the empanadas! We also want to go back and try the churros, I wanted some but it was close to closing time so I opted to just come back another time.

To put it simply... this is my favorite restaurant ON EARTH! My fiancé and I were working in Columbus for a few months and made this our go to place for lunch. When you walk in, you will feel like you are actually in a small cafe in Argentina. The food is amazing. All of it. Seriously. Walk in, pick out anything even if it seems like something you wouldn't like, order it. I PROMISE you will love it. Everything is amazing. Oh and did I mention it's also ALL 100% GLUTEN FREE AND SEED OIL FREE?! Seriously, the chef is a wizard. Joel, the owner and chef is always so friendly and welcoming. He remembers names and orders. He cares about his customers and their experience. One of my favorite parts of the experience is when he comes to our table and talks about how he made our meal. He is so proud of his work, as he should be. We love hearing about the care and craft he puts into everything he makes. Our work has finished in Columbus so we sadly won't be able to go back as often but I will definitely return as soon as I can!

Choripan is a delicious alternative to a fast food restaurant. Relatively large dumplings/hot pockets/empanadas, plus soup, deserts, entrees, etc.You should find interesting things to eat.

We came in on a Saturday evening and we were the only customers there. The inside is a little small but there are several tables and there's art on their wall (some even for sale). It was only Chef Joel and one other worker there but you can tell they care about their customers and food quality. It was our first time here so she explained the menu and let us take a seat wherever. Once you're ready to order, you head up to the counter. They advertise they are gluten free, soy free, grain free, nut and sugar free. I tried some of their empanadas and the "carne" was my favorite - packed with so much flavor. They are a bit greasy though. The steak was perfectly cooked to a medium rare temperature and the plantain chips were crispy and well seasoned. After eating here and trying their food, I'm surprised at how empty the restaurant was. They should totally have a line out the door!

My friend and I, both of whom can't have gluten, came for lunch this week, after wanting to check it out for awhile. It's a small little place, but there are several tables. You order at the window, and the employee was very helpful. We both ordered empanadas, as well as a dessert. Being vegetarian, there aren't tons of options for me here, but I got a root empanada and churros. My friend ordered a duck empanada and fritters. I thought my empanada was good, but the ratio of crispy dough to filling was a bit off, I couldn't taste the filling much. My friend enjoyed hers though. The star was the fritter- it was so dang delicious, and especially more so since getting gluten free fritters is a rarity. I'm sure meat-eaters would love it here more than me, but I'd come back for the fritter.

As a born and raised Argentinian, I have never been more insulted by a so-called "Argentinian" restaurant in my life. This place is a complete and utter disgrace to the culture, an absolute mockery of what true Argentinian cuisine should be.First, let's talk about the absurd, borderline criminal pricing. A single choripán for $20? Are you joking? If you charged that in Argentina, people would riot in the streets and burn the place to the ground. There is absolutely no justification for this robbery. Yes, there are costs of operation, but let's be real--a sausage between two buns should never cost $20. You could buy an entire asado for what they're charging for one sandwich! The audacity is beyond comprehension.But the biggest slap in the face? The gluten-free menu. Look, I understand dietary restrictions--my mom is celiac--but to advertise Argentinian food as gluten-free first and foremost is a disgrace. There should at least be REAL, authentic options with gluten to preserve the true taste of the culture. A milanesa being gluten-free is blasphemy. Milanesa should be crispy, flavorful, and made the right way--not this overpriced, tasteless imitation. And $20 for a single milanesa? I can walk into any Mexican grocery store, spend $10, and get five to eight proper milanesas that actually taste good. This is beyond unacceptable.I am in complete shock that this place has the nerve to butcher an entire culture and that nobody has called them out for it. The prices, the inauthentic food, the gluten-free nonsense--it's a disgrace. This is not Argentinian food. This is an insult, a scam, and a culinary abomination.
