Rincon Argentino - Carniceria Latina

Love Rincon to get my family's fix of freshly made Empanadas and Sandwiches De Miga, which are Sandwiches made with thinly sliced bread. They have different sandwiches pre-made, and my family's favorite is the ham and cheese. Since I'm gluten free, I unfortunately can't enjoy their sandwiches off the shelf, so I have the butcher slice up some of the same provolone and ham they use to make the sandwiches there, and then I make my own sandwiches with Carbonate GF white bread from it. It's a great workaround, very similar in taste and texture and is so delicious! They have a variety of Empanadas to choose from including beef, chicken, spinach, ham and cheese, and corn. Their store has a large variety of dry products from Argentina, Argentinian wines, as well as a small selection of baked goods. Pro tip- Be sure to toast the sandwiches just before enjoying for the full effect. 😋

Chicken empanada was very doughy, not much filling. Was just ok, there are better options out there. Soda and cookies were lovely, a nice change of pace and delicious. Steak sandwich was a good portion size and very filling. Would eat this again but would ask for more chimichurri (I asked when ordering but they didn’t put it on). There is a lot of mayo and the meat is greasy. But delicious and very filling. Street parking, sandwich takes about 15 mins to prepare.

Best customer service! Been going to Rincon Argentino for years. Love the breads, empanadas, pizza and sándwiches. Always perfect.

Love this little place. Great "miga" sandwiches, pastries and meat for barbeques. Always friendly. Alfajores were fresh and amazing.

The best Argentinean store in Glendale and L.A. Great selection of wines, Alfajores, cakes (arrollado y torta de ricota), Vainillas, sandwiches de miga, etc. The meat for Asados is amazing as well. Must visit!

Just really good food and super nice and friendly service. I had the steak sandwich and a spinach empanada and both tasted really good and fresh. They pulled out a fresh loaf of bread to use for the sandwich too.

A small store but with good selections from Argentina, Peru, and other Latin American countries. Additionally, they serve delicious and freshly made empanadas.

Simply the best around! 👌 great food & service.

Excellent customer service! Food didn't disappoint!! Been here before and will continue to come back!!

My friend had a birthday party at her daughter's house from Rincon Argentino, and it was 2 kinds of sandwiches con miga: 1 with red bell peppers, and the other kind was ham and cheese. They were truly delicious, fresh, and light! They were thinly sliced also. They also had some baked ground beef empanadas: again tasteful and tasty I have to go and eat in that place one day to try their other dishes

A very lovely local Argentine bakery. I love the finger sandwiches. They are very nice and welcoming. Come and try there pizza or empanadas

Customer service is really good Quality of products good as well I recommend it. My only complaint is the schedule. They close early

I have been coming here at least 25 years. First introduced by my Argentine friend and I was instantly addicted to their miga sandwiches. I introduced them to my coworkers since our office is super close to Rincon and now it's everyone's favorite. We love the steak sandwiches-and miga sandwiches. Empanadas are pretty good too and you can't beat their price!

Best Argentinean empanadas in SoCal, Hands Down. I've been coming here for over 15 years. The empanadas can't be beat. My personal favorites are the cheese, Choclo (corn) and the ham and cheese. Freshly baked daily, you just can't stop at one...get the dozen. Additionally they have delicious pastries and a variety of fresh meat cuts for your grilling pleasures.

My gf hyped up this place as making amazing Argentenian empanadas. It was not. It was a huge disappointment. Will never return to this place. Found out the last time she there was over 20 years ago. She as well did not like the food and threw it into the trash. She said this place has changed.

I stoped by this place running errands in Glendale. It's a small place with big flavors! I tried the ham and cheese empanadas (j) and the spinach empanadas (e). Both were delicious and a reasonable price. My daughter tried the chicken empanadas (p) and she was a little thrown off by the raisins. Each kind has a little stamp in the dough and I put the letters above in parentheses. The show stopper for me was the sandwich mixto con acetunas. They are crustless sandwiches that come in a package. The hearts of palm and olives were delicious. There was also Turkey and ham and cheese. So soft, fresh and yummy. I also got a pack of alphahores but I brought them as a host gift to a party and didn't get to try them. They looked great! I will be back to try more items!

Great service, knowledgeable staff. And the quality of the meat is important and you can tell they understand meat quality

Missing Argentinean or Paraguayan food? This is the place that will bring you back to your "nostalgia" food cravings. Good service, good food and supplies for your cooking. If you don't want to fry milanesa ask then they will fry them for you!

Great store, amazing food, great selection, friendly people, reasonable prices. Their sandwiches and empanadas are literally addicting. I want to say it's a hidden gem, but they no shortage of customers. I only wish they delivered on DoorDash or Uber Eats, so I could order from there more!

Super delicious steak sandwiches and empanadas. They also have different Argentine products like Yurba Mate

I had the steak sandwich, delicious. I ordered by phone and my sandwich was ready upon arrival. Sandwich was much bigger than expected. I had half and save the other half for hubby.

I always have the love for empanadas, always trying to find new empanadas to try. I found Rincon Argentino last year, and their empanadas are excellent. They are very tasty and flavorful, most of all, it is very reasonably priced. Their empanadas have small letters to indicate which type it is. It is one of my favorite places to go for a quick bite.

Great food and authentic flavor with great service, love coming here with my family and friends.

The empanadas are some of the best I've ever had! I love the chicken, beef, and ham & cheese empanadas and their pre-made ham and cheese sandwiches are delicious as well. And don't forget dessert with the alfajores! The ladies there are also so nice. Will definitely be back and recommend them to others!

It's easy to miss Rincon Argentino. I've driven by this place a million times through the years. Unless you live in the neighborhood or unless you're Argentinian, you're probably not aware of this neighborhood gem. The empanadas here are $2 each! I got sticker shocked walking by Nonna's at Americana and Farmer's Market that goes for more than double. This is a market but has a deli that sells sandwiches and items from the motherland. They sell chimichurri in jars for $6.00 which is must with the empanadas. Steak sandwich here is just okay. The steak a bit too dry and bland for me though the chimichurri, mayo, lettuce and tomato added a little flavor. You can't leave this place without some pastries and cookies. Alfajores are a must. Shortbread with sandwiched with dulce de leche and coated with coconut gratings are bliss. The cancioncitos is a puff pastry with dulce de leche topped with powdered sugar. You'll definitely need a cup of coffee with these deserts. It's worth dropping by if you're in this part of town.

Amazing find. My goto place for a steak sandwich. Great butcher for argentine meats & so much more!

Empanadas are delightful. And their sweet bread sticks are sooo good. Ordered a dozen each, and they were gone in seconds and a party favorite. Jimon & Cheese & Corn are my favorites!

I owe this review to Rincon Argentino, long ago. Best meat quality. Great wine selection. Delicious empanadas and sweets. The cold sandwiches are a good option for the family and small gatherings. Beers from different countries. Customer services is a A +++. Everyone is helpful. Love them

Discovered this little neighborhood gem and it's now our go-to spot when in Glendale. Delicious empanadas and sandwiches! Variety of Argentinian merch too in the shop. They speak Spanish mostly so A+ for you if you can too! The staff is very nice. I love this place.

Love love their sandwiches, Every-time im In the area i love to grab something from this place. Everything is so fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend people to come here

Great food generous portions Parking is a little tight but it's worth the walk. Great pastries and wines also and very friendly service. I go there at least twice a month

Goooooood empanadas...flavor is good and the price is reasonable compared to other places that's the same size and double but only thing thats can be better is Sundays to be open longer since I get home when they close weekdays. But yes go ahead and try them they are good. Parking isn't the greatest

Seriously my all time favorite spot for empanadas in LA. This establishment has stayed consistent throughout the many years and still affordable despite inflation prices everywhere else. Spinach & cheese as well as beef flavors are phenomenal. Perfect addition to a picnic lunch or even casual dinner party. Truly will leave your guest impressed.

Rincon Argentino Rincon Argentino is a little nondescript market on a busy street that is easily missed, but try and check it out the next time you're in Glendale. The little market has barely two tiny aisles packed with treats and snacks from Argentina and South America. Make a beeline for the counter and order a steak sandwich or grab some empanadas and pastries. Food: There are a wealth of empanada options, so you can come back often: - Carne/Beef - Humita/Corn - Pollo/Chicken - Queso/Cheese - Espinaca/Spinach - Jamon y Queso/Ham and Cheese This time I picked up a box of beef and ham & cheese empanadas. The beef empanadas have juicy ground beef with spices, chopped up hard boiled eggs, onions, and olives. Sweet, salty, and tart flavors mix together inside the dough pocket. The ham and cheese empanadas contain ham, mozzarella, onion, eggs, and spices. The crust is nicely baked, but they definitely would be better if they were deep fried like they are in Buenos Aires. Also, remember to buy chimchurri sauce because it's not included. The alfajores are soft and crumbly, filled with golden dulce de leche (caramel). Parking: There is lots of easy street parking on the northwest corner of Colorado and Verdugo.

Been coming to this place since I was 17 whew a long time , the have amazing pizza, they have tasty empanadas, great sandwiches, and lots of meat cuts and Argentinian goodies, hidden little place with epic flavors shhh don't tell anyone about this place hate waiting in lines Argentinian Pizza, Argentinian SausageBeef EmpanadasButcher,

I'm a creature of habit and always get the sandwiches (with the ham and tomato egg salad) and some empanadas (ham, spinach, corn cheese, and beef). Picked up some Brazilian sausage linguica, which was a hit at the BBQ.

The place represents a minimarket but at the same time sells astounding sandwiches and other "restaurant" items. The steak sandwich is wonderful, a combination of fresh crispy bread and on point super-juicy steak ... In addition, the empanadas are delicious and come in a variety of flavors. I preferred the spinach empanadas. For desserts, the bread pudding was A-rated, the Alfajores - for my taste - to dry and crumbly.

very small, but very good little neighborhood store. if you know your Argentinian products, this is a delightful little place. meats are good.......the empanadas are good......and the sandwiches are awesome.

Their food and service is always on point. The different types of empanadas are flavorful and never dry. The milanesa sandwich is delicious as well.

Chico pero que rico! Small but delicious is what this place is all about! Came for the beef empanadas but left with much more. A Choripan (Argentinian chorizo sandwich) and a few other goodies including their delicious homemade chimichuri sauce. It's a small Argentinian meat market and the cut to order beef and breaded milanesa steaks looked great and will definitely be back for those. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. Street parking can be difficult but if patient you can find a spot nearby. Ok back to the empanadas and choripan. DELICIOUS!! Definitely the empanadas we were used to at a price that is perfect. The choripan is made to order and takes 20 minutes but well worth the wait. This is now our empanada spot!

Great empanadas and beef sandwiches. Nice wine selection especially malbecs. It's like being inside an Argentinian grocery store.

Being from east coast I miss being able to get some good empanadas as a quick tasty snack. I was looking around for a good affordable options. Empanada prices in California seem unreasonably expensive but this place is truly a gem. Authentic Argentinian empanadas with good variety of flavors for $2.50 each and lady at the counter was sweet and friendly. I come to Glendale regularly for my nail appointments so this will be my to go spot for now on. Spinach was my personal favorite but all very good.

I am so happy that Rincón Argentino is up and open for business. I haven't been here since the late 80's...So today I braved the 5 person wait and ordered a Milanesa sandwich and a steak sandwich...Both come on fresh, soft bread with mayonnaise, tomato, lettuce and chimichurri! They were both still hot and tasty when I got home. I was able to share both of them with the 4 of us in the family! I can't wait to order another couple of sandwiches again! Bathrooms - N/A Cleanliness - 8/10 Service - 9/10 Food - 10/19 Atmosphere - 9/10 Value - 9/10 Will I return? Si

I finally tried the pizza!!!! Jamón y queso con cebolla. Absolutely delicious and totally worth it. I'll be back for more soon

I love this spot. The sandwiches, empanadas,Sweet baked goods, pasta are legit. It's a small place with a variety of Argentinian products including wines. I believe it's family owned, which makes the service that much more precious if you have a party and you need to order catering, I would definitely recommend it

Delicious wine, empanadas, and alfajores, plus a good selection of Peruvian chili pastes and sauces.

They have these delicious ham sandwiches . They're perfect for the kiddos , to take them on a picnic or outing . So simple but so delicious; just ham mayo and thin slice of bread , I believe they make there . They come in container of 12 sandwiches . If ordering in a large amount I'd suggest calling a day before to place an order . They might accommodate same day orders,but not always . Also if you want the ham sandwiches , when ordering , specifically say JUST ham no cheese or you might get a mix of cheese and ham, ‍

Best little Argentine Mercado west of the 2 fwy! Small but has all the good from a great authentic argentine butcher counter to freshly made empanadas and pastries. Plus all of your argentine grocery needs (Dulce de leche, cookies, matte, wines, etc. Bife de chorizo, limo, Parilla, Ojo e Bife! Name your cut all the best argentine beef cuts here! Very friendly staff. Some parking in the rear and street parking. The empanadas are baked and they are the best!

This is a small market that's easy to miss unless you were purposely coming here and knew that this place exists! It's a tiny market that's filled with fresh deli and meats along with staple Argentinean groceries. They even offer freshly baked empanadas but go early because once they run out you'll have to come back another time. The empanadas are amazing and it's what I alway pick up along with pichana and salt. Support small business and buy from shops that are individually owned like this one!

I ordered couple steak sandwiches for my wife and I to eat at home the smell so good forget it plus 2 sodas men delicious for us anytime we'll come back. Argentinian Pizza

Sweet ladies, great service, great food!! Big fan of mate and had tons of good options.

Hole in the wall store; great sandwiches. i ordered the chicken sandwich came out to around $9 and some change. inside is very small, staff is very friendly, and my order came out pretty fast, its made to order. i was trying to order the pizza but it was sold out. parking is a bit though. plan ahead.

BEST empanadas. I love all of them. I will be back to try the pizza and sandwiches. Very nice people and excellent service. I also purchase the chimichurri that comes in a jar ( you can find on the shelf) very good.

Their food is so delicious and price are very reasonable. My favorite has to be the steak sandwich and chicken empanadas. Always fresh ingredients and don't get me started on their mouth watering pastries! Customer service is superb which nowadays it's hard to find in the food industry. Give this small business a chance10/10!!

After trying Rincon Argentino, I crave these empanadas on a regular basis and have my fix at least once a week. I try empanadas at other places and restaurants but nothing compares to these, the spinach is a must try!
