El Sur's cozy cafe offers authentic Argentinian empanadas with rich fillings and sweet churros, all served with a side of friendly vibes.
"El Sur, known for serving Argentinan-style empanadas, has closed its cafe at 300 De Haro Street in Potrero Hill." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Roaming empanada operation El Sur found its permanent home in Potrero Hill a few years back, quickly gaining a following for additions like breakfast empanadas: the tartiflette, with bacon, onion, potato, cheese, and egg; and the verdura, with braised greens, onion, potato, goat cheese, and egg. Owner Marianne Despres has since added medialunas, basically a smaller, Argentine cousin to the croissant, and dulce de leche churros. Fans can also order a box of 24 frozen empanadas for free home delivery, to always have one on hand." - Daisy Barringer, Eater Staff
"New wine at El Sur: Potrero Hill empanada hub El Sur has a new wine list highlighting bottles from Argentina, designed with help from Sam Bogue of Ne Timeas (A’ls Place, Foxsister, Sorrel). Wines are available by the glass — starting at $6 — or by the bottle." - Janelle Bitker
