"Seatango isn’t just a great place for the occasional sweet fill in the morning by way of dulce de leche-filled alfajores, syrupy-glazed medialunas, and pastafrola packed with quince. It’s the empanadas that make this cafe somewhere that will inspire you to flag down all the cars driving down Lake City Way and beg them to stop for lunch. The golden-brown batches are often fresh from the oven, filled with bubbling warm cheese and ham or spiced chicken with a side of minty chimichurri to pour on top. Don’t be surprised if, like us, you feel inclined to buy some as savory gifts to share with people you care about." - aimee rizzo, carlo mantuano
"Seatango serves Argentinian pastries like empanadas, alfajores, pastafrola, and bolas de fraile. You can also buy a bunch of different bags of yerba mate. Read an interview with owner Monica Di Bartolomeo here on why she started making and selling fracturas from scratch. Their full menu is available online here." - carlo mantuano

"I mentioned Seatango as an Argentinian bakery readers can try in Lake City." - Harry Cheadle

"When you're craving empanadas, try Seatango, at 12728 Lake City Way, for Argentine-style versions with a thinner pastry, beef empanadas that include green olives, and creative flavors like spicy tuna or corn and cheese, all served with a green, garlicky chimichurri for drizzling. Be sure to chat with Monica Di Bartolomeo, who runs the bakery with her husband Ariel Firpo, and save room for sweets — we recommend the dulce de leche–filled alfajores and the quince pastafrolas." - Meg van Huygen
