I stopped here for lunch on Thursday while I was waiting for my oil change across the street. The service was top-notch--this is a family venture and it shows! My waitress was warm, friendly, helpful, and very good at her job. The restaurant was clean, casual, and very big--a great option for large groups. My food was fabulous. I tried the spicy steak and three cheese empanadas--the steak was my favorite, but I highly recommend both. I also tried their plain house salad, which came with a very generous amount of tomato and onion as toppings. I highly recommend their tango house dressing, which was sweet, tangy and perfect for this salad. read more

Okay, this place is fabulous. I tried the two most popular empanadas, mild steak and spicy chicken. Both were literally mouthwatering delicious. The spicy chicken isn't overwhelmingly spicy & the steak one had the most amazing savory sauce in it. My friend tried the butternut squash one and said it was really good as well. The server was the owners daughter, she was so nice and informative! I asked about the wine selection, but ultimately got this strawberry gin cocktail and it was dangerously good. I asked her about the spices and she told me they import everything - the oregano, paprika, peppers, and even the empanada dough! The restaurant is very clean and has nice cultural decor. A table next to us had a chicken dish of some sort that looked so good - needless to say I'll be back to try that. It's located in a strip mall and the sign isn't overly noticeable so you could blink and miss it. I can't say enough great things. GO TRY THESE EMPANADAS!!!! read more

I absolutely adore this restaurant! The food is so good and the drinks are amazing! Both my husband and I can eat whatever we want and we always get extra to take home! Not only are they amazing fresh but they are just as good cold the following day out of the fridge. The service makes it feel like a home, family restaurant, and the hospitality that they have invited you into their home. So many touches of Argentina from flags to local sports heroes to fun grocery items that are fun to try. I really enjoy this hidden gem. read more

TANGO Argentina Food - So fun - Empanadas Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

This place is absolutely amazing. Situated in a strip mall and from the outside it doesn't look like much. But on the inside they are serving up the stuff of your empanada dreams. Packed with flavor, fried to a crispy perfection. So good. Order at the counter and wait for your food to be cooked up fresh. A few tables inside for munching or take your food to go. Excellent variety of fried empanadas so there's something to suit anyone. Some desert items and a few other things like jars of chimichurri that you can pick up as well. These empanadas are so good that I'm getting emotional just typing this right now. When the lady at the counter handed me mine and I saw them, I reflexively reached across the counter and hugged her. I can't even explain myself. The world would be a better place if we could all just have empanadas like these whenever and wherever we want. Don't second guess it. Go here and see for yourself. read more

Stumbled on this little gem after a Costco run in St. Pete. My husband and I LOVE empanadas, and have yet to find a good Argentinian restaurant in the general STL region. We tried 6 different empanadas, 2 cocktails, and the saffron rice. The only one we weren't crazy about was the ham/cheese/pineapple combo, but probably because it was the most Americanized tasting one to us. We even ended up ordering a jar of their mild chimichurri to go because it was so delicious. The empanadas are also imprinted with which type of filling they have, making it super easy to split and share them. The cocktails were both light and refreshing, and made with their own dehydrated fruit. Service was quick, friendly, genuine and sincere. We will be back. read more

The service was excellent. The Sangria and the empanadas were superb and the dessert is the best I've ever had. Can't wait to go back.

Great family owned and run restaurant! The Empanadas are made with dough from Argentina. The fillings are so flavorful, and made in house. The granddaughters of the owners are the servers and take great care of the diners. They have Argentinian beer and cocktails. On weekends they have Argentinian desserts made in house. read more

I ordered pick up after doing one of my jobs at Schnucks. It was really easy to get to since it's right across the street. I ordered online through Yelp and it was ready within five minutes. The prices are between $3.50 to four dollars. I would say that for the quality it definitely is worth it. I got the spicy beef and the spinach and the beef was definitely so much better than the spinach empanada. Would highly recommend trying whenever in the area. read more

Had read about Tango and I like empanadas so I knew I'd have to make a trip over. I sat inside at the bar. I ordered a basket of 3 - creamy corn, spicy beef and spicy chicken. I really thought spicy beef would be my favorite but I didn't love the green olive in the mix... The spicy chicken however was AMAZING! The employee who helped me was very friendly and took the time to tell me a bit about the origin of the restuarant and how the empanadas are made and I enjoyed that. This is a family owned business and it was all family there helping. Stop in and get some empanadas here or take a dozen to go for your next potluck. read more

Great restaurant! Very good service, excellent food, and probably the cleanest restaurant in the St. Louis area. We will definitely return!!! read more

I got Tango via Uber Eats! Wow! I've never had empanadas with such a delicate and airy shell, but still crunchy. I love it! Empanadas I had previously at other places were thick and more shell than stuffing. However, Tango's Empanada's were fully packed inside, tender, and flavorful. I ordered the: Mild Chicken Mild Meat Spinach Ham and Pineapple Creamy Corn All were delicious in their own way, but my favorite was the chicken! read more

Wonderful food and friendly service! I recommend the spicy beef and the steak. My family also loves the chicken.

I've eaten at Tango twice and had a great experience both times. The empanadas are so delicious and service is outstanding!

Cute, cozy dine in cafe. So many empanadas to chose from, but every single one I tried was great! I tried the steak, tuna and chicken/ham/pineapple (my favorite). I also ordered the ginger punch?/tea?, very refreshing! The waitress was kind and explained how to tell the difference between empanadas (there's a chart and the empanadas are labeled). They brought us a quick cracker snack before our meal, and a few pieces of candy afterwards. Will definitely return! read more

I just drove by and saw TANGO this afternoon and my wife, son and I went back for dinner. I was skeptical and asked someone walking out with carry out if it was a good place and he said it was fantastic. I ask him what he recommended and he said everything was great. So we went in and found out it is family owned and operated. It was absolutely the cleanest restaurant I've seen. The owners came over and explained the menu to us. The were very nice and took great pride in their restaurant. We ordered 12 empanadas and 2 Argentinian beers. The food was excellent and the beers were too. I would say the price was ok but well worth it for the excellent food, drinks, service and prompt attention we were given from the owners. We will tell our friends and family about Tango and definitely go back soon! read more

We had such a wonderful experience here. We started with 5 empanadas and 2 Argentina beers. As for the beers, the Red Ale was mid, but I thought the Bock was exceptional. We started with a Tuna, Spicy Chicken, Spicy Steak, Spicy Beef, and Ham Pineapple and Cheese. My husbands d I agree that the tuna was our least favorite; not for lack of anything but honestly we just aren't hugs tuna people. Our absolute favorite was the ham, cheese, and pineapple. We decided 5 was enough and ordered about her round this time without tuna, but adding in the bacon and cheese, creamy corn, and five cheese. All very good but none beat the ham, cheese, and pineapple. Everything was flavorful and had a good amount of spice without being unpleasant. Besides how amazing the food was, our service was incredible. The sweet girl serving explained as needed, was not overbearing, and even took a lap in the dining room with our walking 1 year old. read more

Empanadas are one of my love languages and the ones at Tango are everything! As soon as you walk in, I felt like I was back in Buenos Aires. The Argentinian flag was everywhere and in their pictures on the wall, there were so many places that I actually visited while in Buenos Aires and that was really cool to see. Mrs. Stella (one of the owners) is super sweet and she went over the menu with me and we had a great conversation about our times in Buenos Aires. Not only are all of their empanadas freshly made to order but the dough and the spices that Tango uses are all imported. I could tell too because the flavor in these empanadas just hit differently. I ordered the spicy chicken and the spicy beef empanada and when I tell you those were some of THE best empanadas that I have ever had?! I wanted to order 4 more but I had to pace myself. lol If you haven't been to Tango yet, then you should put that on your to-do list asap! read more

So excited to visit the new location with a dining room. The decor is fantastic, they really did a wonderful job with the dining room and counter. Plenty of seating, with 4 big flat screens playing soccer, and tango dance competitions. Music playing. The menu is expanded from the previous location, but very similar, pretty much all empanadas, but a lot of variety of flavors and ingredients. Some interesting choices. The food is all made to order and served hot and fresh. Both spicy and mild dishes were served, along with a caprese (which was delicious!). The empanadas are a little on the small side, you will want 3 or more per person for a meal. But it's a great way to try a bunch of different flavors!! Stop in an enjoy a trip to Argentina! read more

Went in to get some empanadas to take out. Tried the spicy chicken, spicy steak, onion and cheese, and spicy beef empanadas and they were all tasty (and freshly made). Of the ones I tried I think the onion and cheese was my favorite, if only because it stood out as distinct from the rest. If I had one request it would be that they sold some garlic sauce to go with the empanadas, but other than that I have no complaints. Definitely recommend. read more

Fun spot. Unassuming from the outside. The owner greeted us and took our order. His Argentinian hospitality and wit were both on full display. He prefers the 2 spicy empanadas and the onion one so that's what I ordered. (Wouldn't have picked the onion on my own.) We had mixed opinions on our favorites but enjoyed them all. I do wish there had been a "side" option but the empanadas were more of a street food, hand-pie feel. Great spot! read more

And like the blink of an eye, those empanadas disappeared from sight. *whispers* because we ate them so fast. Stop on in, grab one or a dozen, but do not miss out on this local gem! Extremely sweet owners! read more

The best empanadas! I have been here 3-4 times now even though it's a 30 minute drive from me. It's that good. I love the Chicken Empanada - Spicy and the Beef Meat Empanada - Spicy! I always order two of each and take some home to enjoy later. They also sell them frozen if you want an option you can keep on hand when you are craving this deliciousness. I have also purchased a big jar of their chimichurri and it was such a lovely marinade and topping. read more

I've heard some buzz about this restaurant for a while now, and had it bookmarked on Yelp to give it a try. I finally did. I am so glad I did. I am sad I waited this long. The dining area is very nicely decorated, super clean and orderly. I walked up to the counter and met a very nice man, I believe he is the owner. I told him this was my first visit, but have heard great things about Tango. He opened the menu in front of me and began telling me about it, and about all the authentic Argentinian ingredients. The prices are really reasonable and I chose four different empanadas to try. My food was brought out and each one was prepped differently as far as the shape of the fried dough. I was told they are deep fried. Amazingly, they were not at all greasy. I was also told what each of the empanadas were since you can't really tell when looking at them. I took my first bite and was hooked. Delicious! The golden brown dough was fried to perfection. Each of the four empanadas I tried was so different from each other, but so good and packed with flavor. I will be back. Support local! read more

I had a harebrained idea that I wanted to eat empanadas for dinner, and was in St Charles. I had thought I couldn't find a place to get my empanadas, and once I decided I wanted empanadas, I just HAD to have them. Yelp came through for me! I found Tango right in St Charles, off I70! Just my luck! My luck just kept rolling on because the empanadas that they have, and there are four kinds, were a dream come true for a hungry girl. They were simply splendid! A dozen or two dozen bought will get you 10% off, and three dozen scores 15% off! They're simply wonderful here and Hector says that if you call ahead to order, he'd have it ready, piping hot, for you to pick it up. How wonderful! I'm definitely coming back here. No doubt about that! read more

LOVED this place. The owner was the only one working (I think) and she was so attentive and took time to explain the menu and options to us.

Cool place to look around while you're waiting on your food. I'll definitely be back! read more
