Menu claims they use ceremonial grade matcha. Is the matcha in the room with us? This was a glass of milk. Cant speak to the empanadas. Maybe they redeem this place.

The collagen latte is amazing so is their regular latte. I tried the steak empanada and it comes with chimichurri and it is amazing. A whole hearty meal very meaty. They have lots of other options for vegans and vegetarians too Alge makes a delicious latte!.

This is a great addition to the TL! Cafe Buenos Aires offers delicious empanadas at an affordable price point. Today, I got the soyrizo empanada. It looks small but it's quite filling. It was stuffed with soyrizo and potatoes. The soyrizo had a hint of spice, which was enhanced with their chimichurri sauce. The dough was thin and light, but strong enough to hold the filling in. I got it as a combo meal, so it also came with chips and refresher of your choice for $12.95. The price point goes higher the more empanadas you get (max 3). I got the watermelon refresher, and it is indeed quite refreshing. And I also got a bag of Doritos, but saved it for later. I've also had the ham and cheese empanada, peach empanada, and the caprese empanada in the past. All were yummy! I've also had their collagen mushroom latte, which was also good. There's very little seating inside since the space is very small. So if there's people there and they're chatting, more than likely you'll have to get it to go. But the empanadas do come out quickly. Service is wonderful! Everyone I encountered there was very nice. I'm happy that more vacant spaces are being occupied in the TL. And their food being affordable is a plus. I hope they stay for a long time.

Oh my goodness! This was my first time here and also my first time trying this Argentinian staple!…read moreI came alone on a quiet Saturday night, and the moment I walked in, the lady in the back immediately welcomed and helped me. I ordered the spicy beef empanada, and OMG it was SO good. It was packed with flavor and perfectly crispy. I loved it so much that I ended up getting a second one, the chorizo and that one was amazing too. The chipotle spicy sauce and chimichurri complemented the empanadas perfectly. One detail I thought was really cool was how they stamped the restaurant's name, "VENGA," around the border of the empanadas. Such a small touch, but it made the experience feel even more unique and authentic. The food, hospitality, and cozy atmosphere made this such a memorable experience. Definitely would come back here again!

I walk up to the cashier with stretched ears and tattoos and he immediately says, "Hurry up sweetie because I got shit to do." Um? That was really uncalled for and so mean. I don't know what type of day he was having, but it's no reason to treat somebody that way. Also dude... umm, you're working in customer service of course you have shit to do. That's part of having a job. I'm truly surprised that this establishment, where I've had excellent experiences before, hired somebody with such a horrible attitude and way of treating people. And to say that in front of my little nephew was wtf, man. Truly a horrible experience. This review is on my experience and the way I was treated and spoken to, not the empanadas those are great.

Hello Yelpers,…read more Wanted to share with everyone a phenomenal Empanada Joint located on Polk Street I the city. Wife and I had the unfortunate experience of having to get our passports expedited and had to return to the Federal Building on Turk. To make the best of a bad situation we ducked into a small establishment called Cafe Buenos Aires. Let me begin with saying this little gem of an empanada establishment has me yearning to return to San Francisco. I am not a city boy by any means and avoid the city like a bad rash. Wife and I ordered 4 empanada's and a special protein and collagen latte. Everything has me saying Obrigado! (Thank you). We had the Carne Picada (Choped Sirloin) was beyond good. I have had empanadas all my life and can simply say this one has blown my mind. Spice and seasoned to perfection with potatoes and quality chopped top sirloin cuts. Chicken (Pollo) same thing with quality ingredients. Beef (Ground Beef) also excellent not my first choice but why not. I'm already here. Service was friendly and the lady working today was awesome. Not much seating inside more of a to go spot but fit the bill. Finally the Protein Cafe Latte with collagen had the wife raving about how good it was. Trust me when she says we may have to go back is a rarity for her especially in SF. Can't wait to swing by when in the area. Don't miss this place it's worth a visit and revisit in my opinion.

Why 5 stars? Because despite a few non-ideal circumstances, it was very worth the visit…read more --- --- --- After eating lunch nearby, I had one final stop to make here for coffee and dessert, before I headed to SFO. The issue is that I was definitely pushing it on time if I planned on making my flight. As I was driving here, I had the thought that if there was an annoying parking situation or a line, I would just have to pivot and forego patronizing. But as it turns out, there was one spot available right next to the front door and no one inside. But then when I requested a nitro, the owner (I assume?) was extremely apologetic that their coffee machine broke. I asked for a few alternate types of coffee, but it turned out said machine controlled it all. So we shifted to the pastries. I read on the website that they had something with guava, so I asked for two of those: one for me, one for the wife. He even offered to heat mine up, which I will say yes to 100% of the time. I then jumped back in the car and was back into "don't' miss your flight mode." Of course, when you're in a hurry, you manage to hit every red light along the way, so I was doing a lot of yelling at electricity and God. But then I figured I might as well take the time to try the pastry that I'd originally planned on eating on the plane. As it turns out, it brought me into a nearly immersive experience of zen. The only bad thing is that I devoured it within seconds and then it was merely a thing of the past. My wife is fortunate that I have the amount of integrity that I do because I am sitting on the plane as I write this and I could easily inhale that 2nd pastry with her being none the wiser. If you're reading this, wife, remember that you hit the spousal lottery.

It is a cute little storefront near 16th and Mission Bart station with a small outdoor counter you can eat at. I really like their vegan option which is traditional with faux groud beef, olives and raisins. I haven't tried any of their other vegetarian flavors but they have a cheese one too. Nice crust, less greasy than other empanadas I've had in the Sco, good ingredients, love Chile Lindo.

It's a bakery after all the serves breakfast and other meals. Would definitely come back again :)
