Traditional empanadas, milanesa sandwiches & Yerba Mate
"This small Argentinian market in Glendale really has it all—wine, pastries, empanadas, and a butcher—but while doing some light grocery shopping, make sure you prioritize the fugazzeta. It’s an Argentine stuffed-crust pizza with generous amounts of ham, cheese, and cooked onions spread on top, plus more ham and molten cheese tucked inside. They offer a cook-at-home version, but if you want it piping hot for takeout, call ahead—it takes about a half-hour in the oven to cook." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"A little slice of Buenos Aires — complete with copious fútbol memorabilia — in the heart of Boulder, this warm and welcoming family-run counter joint has built a cult following around its empanadas, whether stuffed with steak, onions, peppers, and olives or mozzarella, tomato, and basil. But it also makes its share of stellar sandwiches, including Argentina’s iconic choripán with sausage and chimichurri, while pouring a proper spot of yerba mate. Bonus: There may be no better place in town to catch a soccer match (check its Instagram feed for screenings)." - Ruth Tobias
"Rincon Argentino is one of those markets where you go in looking for one thing, and end up with enough snacks to last you an entire hibernation season. This small Argentinian shop really has it all: a stacked wine selection, a great butcher, and pastries like dulce de leche-filled alfajores. That said, we never leave without a bag of their golden-crusted empanadas and a fugazetta, which is Argentina’s answer to stuffed-crust pizza. Besides the generous amounts of ham, cheese, and caramelized onions on top, the dough is filled with more ham and cheese, as it should be. They offer a cook-at-home version, but if you want it piping hot, know that it takes about a half-hour to bake—so call ahead." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Rincon Argentino is a mini-mart in Glendale with so much wine that the crates stack around the butcher counter. And besides having enough malbec and beef to feed a family of hibernating bears in the winter, Rincon Argentino makes fluffy, egg-washed empanadas full of ground chicken, olives, and a stew with onions and raisins that add a smooch of sweetness. There's a fugazzeta that's pleasantly aggressive with the onions. Each one has a blanket of cooked onion canvassing sliced ham and melted cheese that dangles over the thin crust." - sylvio martins
"A go-to for excellent empanadas and other Argentine staples, delivering satisfying, authentic flavors without pretense." - Ruth Tobias
