At SEATANGOFOODS,The empanadas are to "DIE FOR." Want ARGENTINE style pastries and other OVEN YUMMIES? Go straight to Seatango. You need not go anywhere else. Moons ago, my friend and I drove across one state to hunt for empanadas --- that's how badly we wanted one. Seattle -- you don't have to work that hard. "LOVE" is real close by! WESTERN WA & BEYOND: Go to LAKE CITY for the most SAVORY & SWEET empanadas!! The empanadas are HUGE but most of all, DELICIOUS! Walk in, take in the glorious aromas! Breathe it in. It's pure joy! We eat with our eyes. I was mesmerized by the baked good display. It is a very thoughtful, organized and wonderfully presented food items presentation. So much love goes into making these baked delights! Still, that's not where it ends-- look at my pictures. There are many goodies to choose from. Don't drool too hard. Just get there and order a box of many! This place has an OLD WORLD CHARM. In a small way, I fell in love with the decorations, colors, the smell of warm sugar, the space ... I talked the few customers present. Every person said roughly the same thing, "TRY EVERYTHING. You can't go wrong. It's all amazing. Sweet or savory. No matter." Everything is HAND-MADE. The bakery is small but the space, display, warm and welcoming. I found street parking -- no problem. I was waiting for my dog to get bathed and groomed nearby. Found myself wanting a snack. Just needed a little something to hold me over until a real meal. Had no idea that my beef [there is also chicken, many more flavors] empanada is a MEAL in itself. The man who waits on you knows his products very well even though it takes a few seconds for him to WARM UP to you. Still, he is a wonderful, friendly & hard working man. An amazing shop speaks for itself when you walk in. I'd drive across state lines to eat at SEATANGO! Try it and see how you like it. I suspect, like any place -- going OFF PEAK times will garnish you more attention by the wait staff. Still, don't wait to go. Go to Seatango now ... no regrets! PS -- Please Understand. This is my first time ever giving a WA bakery 5 stars.
It's hard to find quality empanadas in this town. Most are soft, doughy, bland fillings & disappointing. Seatango's empanadas are a game changer! These flaky, crispy on the outside, on the inside you'll discover evenly proportioned perfectly seasoned, savory fillings full of substantial ingredients are just simply delightful! We got the ground beef, the chicken and ham&cheese options and believe you me, there's nothing 'nada about these empanadas. The shop is conveniently located on Lake City Way, modest size seating area and noticeably filled with South American patrons speaking in Spanish to the business owner. This place is legit! If you crave a delicious empanada on the go as a snack or a large order for a special event, this is the spot! Sidenote: They also offer square cut Argentinian style pizzas which looked delicious! Check their hours. They close early before the Lake City night of the walking dead wakes up in the area. Pardon the unprofessional pics but we couldn't wait to get our grubs on!
Tucked in a Lake City neighborhood, this place is quite a hidden gem and a local business worth visiting. This place serves mostly empanadas and Argentine pastries, all of which were pretty solid. I got 2 empanadas (beef and breakfast - bacon egg cheese) and an alfajor cookie sandwich. The empanadas were flaky and delicious with generous amounts of fillings. I liked the beef the most based on flavor profile, but the breakfast one is good if you wanted a fairly hearty empanada. Don't forget to get the chimichurri which is a $1 add on that's worthwhile. The alfajor cookie sandwich (alfajores) has dulce de leche filling and it was not unbearably sweet compared to the ones I had in Buenos Aires grocery stores, so I enjoyed it. I personally wouldn't go out of my way since I don't like extra sweet desserts, but it's worth to try at least once. Surprisingly, the prices via Grubhub pickup were lower than the in person menu and other apps so I opted to use Grubhub whilst also using up my credits, so that allowed me to check this place out for the first time!
Along busy Lake City Way, it might be easy to miss this place. But don't! I've yet to have an empanada there I don't like, and love grabbing a couple for lunch. But don't forget their alfajores, which are traditional Argentine pastries, almost like large macaroons, but not nearly as expensive. And so tasty. Definitely worth a try. You can't miss them when you walk in.
I ordered a variety of alfajores and pastries for a group gathering and they were a huge hit! Loved the flavors and texture of them and the owner was very friendly.
This is our go-to stop by Argentinian facturas/pastries! Especially when my folks come into to town, we love to eat there! We always get chicken and beef empanadas. We tried their pizza too, which was hot and fresh! Their customer service was, and is always, super nice. We've been there more times than I can count. Tables are nice and clean too! Highly recommend stopping by and treating yourself to the pastries!
My daughter and I discovered this gem when we decided to walk to school today. It was hidden and can't really tell it's a pastry shop but the smell made me go back and check. They have a variety of sweets as well as other types of food. The lady that was helping us was so sweet and knew about her product and explained all the different options. We didn't dine but took a pastry and went our way, if you are around the area, check them out.
Hands down amazing place. From the food, to the service. A well ran, high quality, fun neighborhood location for delicous baked empenadas of all flavors, desserts, coffee and more. Cannot recommend this place enough. It's always a treat when visiting Seatango, you will always leave waiting to go back for more.
Came here after some apple picking and thought the food was pretty good. We will definitely be back to try their other foods. Parking is limited to street parking only. It looks like the lady is training a new hire so it was a little slow. But they are really nice. I originally wanted the Italiano and the tuna empanada but both was not available so we ended up with the following: - beef empanada - standard, has a piece of olive in there so the flavor was unique - ham and cheese - another standard one -onions -- this is my favorite as it has a sweet and savory flavor. - egg and spinach ---fluffyband stuffed, a little bland but not bad. The chimichurri sauce that they give you is probably the star. We literally was dipping it with everything. The mild and spicy was both good. Maybe the empanadas was made a little bland so you can dip it?? Who cares, it was good :) oh and I love that they have the name of their store on the empanadas We also got a croissant because it looks different and it was delicious. It's not the typical croissant but I love the flavor of it. It's not super flaky but it does have a subtle crunch. Overall, I would come back if I'm in the area:)
Great service, and even better empanadas... We have 4 empanadas to go last weekend. The person serving us made sure we could recognize the markings/indicators for each flavor and how to tell which chimichurri was regular and which one was spicy. The beef, four cheese and ham, spicy tuna and corn empanadas were all good. I think the tuna one was my favorite. We shared an alfajore, which had good flavor yet was a bit dry (which can easily happen with such a cookie) We'd go back!!
Normally I wait to savor and think about the food experience before I write a 5-star review for restaurants but in the case of Seatango I could not wait! I ordered the 3-empanada combo through GrubHub and it comes with your choice of can soda and a chimichurri sauce. I ordered the spicy cheese and onion empanada and two spinach empanadas. My items arrived hot and fresh with an ice cold soda. How they managed to keep the food hot and the drink cold I'm not sure but I'm so glad they figured it out! I had been excited to try this place for months so I'm glad I was finally able to have their delicious eats! My gold standard that I compare all empanadas to come from Julia's empanadas in the nation's capital. I always loved the large portion sizes and the flaky fresh baked version of these and could not find a comparable empanada. Alas, Seatango has done it! I am eager to try their other options and hope they have the spicy tuna the next time I order.
An update. Seatango now has its own freestanding location in Lake City (after a startup incubation at Tukwila's Spice Bridge). Hurrah! This couple has worked towards this for decades and deserves support. The food is amazing, and these two do it all (for now...hopefully, they can get an employee or two soon). One comment. While we where there I observed two or three people who entered, heard Monica speaking Spanish to someone, and turned and walked out. Hey, they speak English too. How petty do you have to be to walk out simply because the owner is speaking Spanish to a customer who chose to speak to her in Spanish. Wow. We had some empanadas, which were even better than they used to be. Transcendent. The chimichurri sauce made them even more so. And there are some new empanada flavors like spicy tuna, and corn, and spicy onions and cheese. The old favorites are still there too. We also had a choripán. That's a deceptively simple (bread, sausage, and chimichurri) but exceptionally delicious Argentinean sandwich. The secret is the kind of bread, the particular sausage, the perfectly crafted chimichurri, and the technique for constructing it all. It was superb. Carried out many facturas, some alfajores, and more empanadas. Be patient. They just opened, there are only two people (the owners), and they still (for now) live a long ways away from the cafe (that's why they close at 4pm for now). Get there early to get the best selection and support this wonderful local business. Will definitely be back.

Time to update another Yelp post since my previous visit to Seatango Foods was back on 6/1/21. On my way to Bothell via Lake City Way to Hwy 522, I was able to snag a parking lot close to Seatango (3/27/26). Walking in, it was nice to see the space reconfigured to allow more kitchen and pastry case space. Plus the interior is a lot more warmer with wall color and vibrant art work which is enhanced by the natural light. This makes for a more pleasant dining area. I was kind of overwhelmed with the immense selection and variety in the wrap around pastry case. I'm glad that the counter person was patient with me as I seriously gave consideration since clearly I can't say - one of each please, lol. I ended up exercising restraint and selected two ham and cheese empanadas with chimichurri and two chocolate covered chocolate alfajores with dulce de leche as takeout. The Homie ate one empanada with chimichurri later that day. I ate mine the next day with the remaining chimichurri. We can both attest that the quality has remained despite the near five year hiatus. The alfajores also was delicious, no surprise there. Next visit, I'm going to inquire further about the assortment of pastries in the front pastry case. There was no individual signage displayed during my visit. Again, glad to see another indie business survive post-pandemic and during these challenging economic times. read more

3.5 stars but i want to give it a four for potential. I drove here to this small easy to miss bakery for empanadas and their alfajores I got 3 flavors in empanadas, chicken, onion and cheese and corn. The bake on pastry was inconsistent. The corn one were crispiest but the cheese &onion werre soggy and chicken one was bit underdone at bottom. I cam see the cheese and corn one could get soggy because of the steam from fillings. Flavor of filling wise my favorite was cheese one. The spicy chimichurri on side was just perfect I tried this other cookie kind of pastry first time here called alfajores. I loved the coconut chocolate one a lot. I also tried another one i forgot the name of in lemon flavor but alfajores were my favorite here. Empanada wise i do get better option close to redmond but i fully intend to try it again if they get their pastry consistently good read more
Nice stop! There's 1hr street parking out front, there was no line when I stopped by at midday on a weekday, and the items I got were ready made so I was in and out very quick. Got the Empanada Combo (3 savory empanadas and a drink) with Beef, Ham and Cheese, and Chicken, and a yerba mate tea ("Mah-teh" the National drink of Argentina, a caffeine rich, medium dark, herbaceous tea). The Ham and Cheese (very cheesy and creamy) and the Chicken (mildly spiced and delicious) empanadas were my fave but everything we got there was good! They may ask if you'd like chimichurri (a fresh vinaigrette with garlic and herbs and a little kick) with the empanadas- go for it! They go really really well together, takes it to the next level. Definitely made with care and worth the visit! read more
Such a delightful spot on Lake City Way. You're in the mood for something savory? Check. Sweet tooth and pastries? Check. Coffee??! Check. We've visited Seatango a few times and have thoroughly enjoyed their good. The empanadas are practically bursting with filling; they're so tasty. Today was our first time trying the breakfast empanada. We've tried on weekends, but they're usually sold out by the time we arrived. But during the lunch hour on a weekday, score! Also, definitely get the side of chimichurri. It adds a freshness to each bite. And as always, my sweet tooth is so happy from their pastries. The Alfajor cookie sandwich is light, buttery, and crumbly. They had both the cookie w powdered sugar on top or with coconut. read more

Tucked away mom n' pop in an unassuming spot in Lake City. Stopped by a week ago, squarely in mid November (2021), to pick up a couple of empanadas for my (takeout) lunch and an assortment of 1/2 dozen facturas to go with later afternoon tea with my family. It was perfect, and reminds me of the many homemade facturas I have enjoyed from my lovely Argentinian friends. Definitely will return! read more

Lake city's newest hidden gem. Came for the empanadas and baked goods. Tried the breakfast empanada as well as the chicken, beef, and spinach empanadas. They're served with a yummy chimichurri sauce. A lot of the baked goods had either dulce de leche, fruit or a vanilla custard like filling! The woman at the counter helping me was super friendly and explained what everything in the case was. read more

New bakery/coffee spot/lunch place in the neighborhood and it's a good one! I was super excited to see something go into this space so I hit it up as soon as I could. When they're baking, the smell is intoxicating! I chose a quince tart and it was so delicious! The flavor of the almond milk latte was great too. Just a great little spot. read more

Ariel and Monica make amazing food and every thing was cooked to perfection. I ordered through Cherry Picked for delivery and the food came warm. After the first bite the hubby looked at me and asked how far away are they? Tukwila? Ok worth the drive! The brunch for two was enough food for the entire day and some for two food loving people. Pastries live up to all the hype. I haven't had enough stomach room for the empanadas yet but needed to rush to get a review out because they deserve all the hype and more. Now back to more steak... read more
