Tango Argentinian Empanadas

This little food truck off the side of the road packs a punch with flavor and portion!!!!! We got the combo of 3 empanadas, fries + chimichurri sauce and it was BOMB. It was literally the perfect meal before going to the beach. Julie was very sweet & kind! We also got their sugar cane drink with a splash of lemon & it was delicious!!! If you're on the fence, give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

I decided to stop by and try this Argentinian dish. I had it while in Argentina years ago and wanted to remember that flavor. I stopped and spoke to both sister and brother team and their cute dog. I waited a little bit for the oil to get hot enough to fry the empanadas so in the meantime I was able to talk to them. They are from Argentina so excellent for me to have something so originally from the source! I also noticed that they sell dessert with delicious dulce de leche in between. So I grabbed that too!I bought the beef ones after was recommended to have those. They were fried beautifully and it didn't take that long. My wait was pleasantly shortened by petting their friendly dog :)Once I got them, I took them home and ate them at home. The crunch was excellent and it was still warm inside. The flavor was tasty, but maybe a bit less strong than what I tasted in Argentina. I mean, these recipes must be like all recipes where your family makes it one way and another makes it differently. In the end the empanadas are always empanadas but they taste different depending on who makes it. They were tasty but I think I would have preferred a bit more herbal punch. I have to ask again if the outside of empanadas are usually made with masa instead of a flour mixture. This too was different from what I tried. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty nonetheless. The three little desserts were sweet and the dulce de leche from Argentina is so delicious. I had one with coffee but I kept the other two in the refrigerator since my palate doesn't favor too sweet desserts. I wanted to try them and see for myself since I never tried them before. Please go and support this little business for they have all different flavors and I will go back and try more! They are filling and different so it was good to change my regular same foods that I buy at market.

No way I'm the first review! I saw the truck in passing one day and wasn't able to go, but today they were in Waialua again! I got the traditional beef and the cheese & spinach empanada. You get 2 for $10. Nice flaky and hot dough. They came paired with what I believe was a chimichurri sauce. I DUNKED the empanadas in it. They were flavorful and really delicious.Lucas was the person who served me and he was very kind! It was very quick service. In all, I enjoyed my first visit and will be there again when I'm in the mood for a snack. Give it a try! *The wagon was located across the street from the baseball field near the intersection.
