TANGO Argentina Food

TANGO Argentina Food Authentic Argentine empanadas, milanesas, and house-made specialties since 2000. Louis. The “Empanada Man”). Louis area, using traditional family recipes.

Family-owned and rooted in Buenos Aires tradition, bringing the flavors, culture, and warmth of Argentina to St. Since 2000, we've perfected the art of the Argentinean empanada. 🇦🇷 We are TANGO Argentina Food, a family-run business formed by Argentine couple Stella and Hector (a.k.a. Since 2000, we have been bringing you the best authentic Argentine empanadas to the Greater St. Our venture started at festivals and fairs throughout the Greater St. Louis area (check out our gallery to see pictures of our booth throughout the years!), and we’ve since become a fixture on the festival circuit. We were fortunate enough to be able to open up a brick-and-mortar location in 2016 in St. Charles and eternally grateful to be able to move to a bigger location in 2021. We are currently located on West Clay in St. Charles, right behind Lindenwood University and right next to Goodwill. We are thrilled to be able to continue to offer take-out and delivery (through Grubhub and DoorDash), but also a dine-in experience as well with our new location. With our food, we take pride in using imported dough and spices directly from our home country to ensure the best possible genuine Argentine flavor right here in the Midwest. We use traditional family recipes, fresh local products, and lots of love in making our empanadas. Our empanadas are fried to order — never cooked ahead. We put a lot of passion into what we do. Our hope is that you try our food, enjoy it, and strive to learn more about our home country!

Empanadas are calling your name this weekend 🥟🇦🇷

We're bringing our empanadas to the Greater St. Louis Hispanic Festival, Inc. St. Louis, MO at Soulard Park, Sept. 18-20 — come find us! But honestly, come for so much more than the empanadas (though, we get it, they're a good reason). This festival is three days of celebrating the food, music, and stories that make our Hispanic community here in St. Louis so vibrant — and we've been proud to be part of it for over 20 years.

📍 Soulard Park, 7th + Lafayette Ave
📅 Sept. 18-20
🆓 Free to attend

Please note: we'll be closed at the restaurant Sept. 18 and 19 while we're at the festival — but you can still find us (and our empanadas) at Soulard Park!

See you there — ¡nos vemos pronto!

Hector was the empanada man to a lot of St. Charles. 💙

He was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2021 and we lost him in early 2025. September is IPF Awareness Month, and this year our family is raising money in his honor with Team Empanada Man for the PFF Walk.

September is National Wine Month, so consider this your excuse to order a glass. We've got a wine list built around Argentina, poured generously, made for a plate of empanadas. Ask your server for a recommendation! https://shspt.sh/meRQvN

💚💙 September is Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month, and this one is close to home.

Our tip jar this month is raising money in honor of Hector, our empanada man, who we lost to this disease. PF is rare, it moves fast, and right now there's no cure. Every dollar you drop in the jar goes straight to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, who work every day toward changing that.

Can't make it in? You can donate online too, link in the comments.

Donate any amount and ask us for an awareness bracelet 🎗️ Wear it, ask about it, help us spread the word about a disease most people have never heard of, until it touches their family, like it did ours.

Thank you for helping us honor Hector's memory this way. 🧡

Hispanic Heritage Month is here and we want you at the table.

In Argentina, there's a word for what happens after dinner: sobremesa. It's when the plates are empty but nobody leaves. You just stay. More wine, more talking, no rush.

Come do that with us this month. Order the malbec, split the empanadas, let the milanesa take over the plate.

See you soon at TANGO! https://shspt.sh/4LLxrm
