Just amazing! Great service, wonderful owner and delicious and authentic food! Can't say enough good things about the food especially. Not many Argentine places in the DMv area but this one is perfect and all I need. About 2 miles from my house so I am going to get my cafe con Leche and empanadas more often! read more

Great food! The empanadas are delicious, excellent coffee, the croissant and pastries are fantastic. The service poor. read more

Tango Pastry - Empanadas and coffee! Great breakfast - Bakeries Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

When I first read about this place I let the looks deceive me, but a few months after my family and I decided to give it a try. I regret not coming sooner! Amazing Empanadas and great customer service every time! read more

This place is a treasure. The few Argentenian joints in the DMV tend to be expensive asado steakhouses, but this is where I come for the things I miss most from my time in Buenos Aires - milanesas, facturas, matambre, croissants, alfajores, and of course the empanadas which are the best I've had anywhere. They also carry some staples like Dulce de Leche and Yerba Mate that can be tough to find. I feel like this place would be a big hit in Old Town or Del Ray, but until then I hope they manage in their current spot. read more

Stumbled upon this place and I absolutely loved it. Such sweet owner and they even gave me two extra pieces of sweets to try! The empanadas are truly authentic and fresh. So delicious and wholesome - also their coffee was so good, better than other bakeries I typically go to thatcharge a lot of money. Can't wait to go back here soon with my husband! read more

The food and coffee were very good. There is a steady stream of locals coming in so that is a good sign. It is a little hard to find. We asked for a custom order and they made it and it was good. Good experience. read more

I love this bakery. The lady that runs it is wonderful. When I need to take food to a gathering, I buy her migas/sandwiches, especially the ham & cheese and the green olive (just try it!). Or I buy her empanadas, which come in a bunch of flavors and are delicious. When I don't have time to cook, I sometimes stop by and get her pasta or gnocchi with the fabulous bolognese sauce. The pastries are good too. But it's the catering stuff I like the most. read more

Nice little oasis on a busy strip (next to a Days Inn). Good selection of inexpensive pastries, friendly service, tasty empanadas. Also do coffee and even pizzas so will have to come back! read more

If you're starting a diet anytime soon, this is not the place to stop. This place is nothing short of amazing. I rarely give any place I review 5 stars but this place warrants it. You would never suspect from the outside what kind of goodness lies within! Everything on the menu is super cheap and super tasty (ok, we didn't try everything but everything we did try was great!). My boyfriend and I got 5 empanadas for $10 (all different kinds; all very flavorful). We also got a chocolate alfajore (spelling?) and a regular large alfajore. If you've never had these you should probably back away from the counter right now and not start because you will be addicted. I was blown away by how fresh everything is. Every single thing we ate tasted like it was just made. The owner is super friendly and obviously takes a lot of pride in what they put out. I was introduced to this place when I was at the nearby walk-in emergency clinic getting tested for pneumonia. My boyfriend discovered it and gave me some of their treats when my doc appointment was over. Despite being in a complete haze healthwise I recognized then how good their stuff was. Weeks later we were cruising down route 1 and passed it and had to stop. read more

I just discovered this bakery a month or so ago and their food is so phenomenal. Plus, the owner is so kind and helpful. The pastries are so delicious and not super sweet. I definitely recommend the quince tart, facturas and empanadas. I picked up some empanadas the other morning for a potluck at work with very little notice and the owner was so kind to fill my order and even warm the empanadas beforehand. My coworkers couldn't stop raving about them by the end of the day there were none left. read more

I am really growing to love this bakery. It's a small bakery on the left end of Days Inn. There's about 4-6 small tables inside. They take your order and you pay after you're done eating/drinking. The espresso is delicious. I get it with the foamed milk. My first time trying it left me looking forward to having it again. I've tried both the spinach and the beef empanadas. The beef is the clear winner. It has great flavor. I am not to crazy about their pastries but I do try a different one every time I visit, to pair with my espresso. Good prices. Great customer service. And a massive menu despite how small the place looks. They serve an array of different foods, including pizza, pasta dishes and more. read more

Amazing! So excited to find authentic Argentinian empanadas close to DC. We called in a large order of about 4 dozen empanadas and within two hours we picked up delicious spinach, meat, chicken and ham/cheese empanadas. They are just like the ones I had back in Argentina and really tasted homemade. The woman who owns the show - Sandra - is super sweet. Highly recommend! read more

I've driven past this place a hundred times and never noticed it. Stopped in to try it out after hearing about it from a family member and I'm so glad I did! The woman at the counter was so nice, explained what everything was and gave us samples to try. We got an assortment of pastries and all of them were really tasty. Really we went to try the empanadas, because there aren't a lot of places around here that make a good one. We were not disappointed! We tried the beef, chicken, spinach, and ham & cheese. All delicious! Definitely my new go to place for empanadas! read more

I really like how hygienic these guys are. The last time I was here I could appreciate every single corner and table being clean , the counters too. The prices here are quite inexpensive thus customers do come here in plenty. You guys should really work on your service being quicker, any else is perfect. read more

Tango Pastry is phenomenal. I haven't had facturas like this since I lived in Buenos Aires. Their empanadas are also wonderful and not too heavy or over thought like some in downtown DC. The owner is a wonderful woman who makes it feel as if you're stepping into her kitchen. If you love Argentine food or just perfectly done baked goods, Go! read more

This place is the best Argentine food in the DMV area. Pastries and empanadas are exactly what they taste like in Argentina. Price is also a plus, empanadas going for $2 and they deliver on Fridays to the downtown DC. read more

First time visiting Tango Pastry on a damp Sunday evening. My boyfriend and I were greeted immediately after walking in by Sandra, the owner. We told her it was our first time and she loaded us with a ton of samples of her sweet goodies. We ended up going with a couple of facturas and empanadas (spinach and beef). The facturas, while good, didn't amaze but are definitely worth eating again. However, one of the pastry samples (tres leches maybe?) blew our pants off. The empanadas were smaller than most others I've had, but were super fresh! All of this was around $7... Which completely won me over. Sandra did recommend returning earlier on a weekend so we can try hot-out-of-the-oven facturas and we definitely will! read more

Excellent Cafe con Leche!!!!! The beef empandas were good and the pastrys were delicious as well.

Absolutely the best Argentine place around here.. yeah yeah.. location sucks and its not the biggest place around.. but the quality of food its incredible! Its TRUE argentine food and not a peruvian place pretending to have argentine food read more

Great Argentinian Pastries with halal beef an chicken. The owner buys her chicken and beef from restaurant depot and caters to a wide clientele. The empanadas and facturas were both amazing. Will return for their brunch specials! read more

Ignoring the rustic interior digs, this bakery is, to my knowledge, the best in the area, even ignoring price, and their prices are fantastic. Once every few months, I sign up for coffee hour at church and buy a bunch of fracturas and cocktail-sized empanadas, and every time I do, members of my congregation ask me where I get this stuff, only to be disappointed when I tell them it's all the way down in Alexandria. read more

I came here to feed a pregnancy craving for pastries. My only regret is not having found Tango Pastry sooner! I had never had fractura before, and the wonderful woman behind the counter (the owner?) patiently described each of the pastries to me. She even threw in an alfajor. I'm not ashamed to admit that it only took me a day to go through all four of the pastries I bought, and I'm sure I'll be back soon for more! read more

This was by far the best shop ever. We came for a convention and needed a place for breakfast. The hotel breakfast was not good. This place was close to our hotel. Best little shop ever. Food was amazing and fantastic service. The staff is the best. You would be foolish not to give them a try. I would definitely visit often if I lived in the area. Recommend 100%. read more

Very friendly service. First time we stopped by, it was around 5pm, so the pastries had been around a while. Still, good flavors and selection. The owner recommended I come by when the bakery opens on Saturday/Sunday to get the best selection, so I did. Baskets (!) of wonderful facturas. At first I said "one of everything!" then realized I would regret that, so ended up choosing about 7 different kinds. All very good. read more

I had a friend beg me to go on a bakery run with them, and since I'm never one to turn down delicious baked goods, I agreed. I would have missed the storefront if my friend hadn't pointed it out - it's a small sign and the bakery is adjoined to a hotel of all places. When we went in, the space was small, but don't judge a book by its cover especially in this scenario! The pastries are delicious, and the empanada I had was fantastic. The prices are also to die for, as nothing I bought was over $1.50. Between the price and the absolute deliciousness, this place gets my vote and I will most definitely be back! PS - I would have added pictures, but I ate everything too fast when I realized how tasty things were! read more

EXCELLENT! Stopped in today with my husband because of the great Yelp reviews. We had an alfajor de dulce de leche and another pastry also filled with dulce de leche. They were both fantastic. We also had two Cortados (espressos) and those were fantastic as well. Although the pastries and coffee was great the service was beyond fantastic. The lady at the front was not only helpful but gifted us with the pastries we didn't try... Surely a gem! read more

Such incredible pastries for such a steal. We had never been before, so she kept giving us samples to try. So refreshing to fund great customer service and amazing food. read more

Never seen facturas argentina in DC until now. These are no joke. Ate milanesa a caballo that was really good too.

Great Argentine pastries, we order a bit too much out of excitement.. Media lunas, alfajores de maicena, sandwiches de miga, cañoncitos de dulce de leche, empanadas de carne, spinach and corn. The food is amazing, and the owner was super friendly, I highly recommend this place read more

The owner is such a sweet lady and very helpful. The kids wanted to try some pastries that they haven't tried before and the owner explained each item! Pastries were full of flavor and the perfect texture. Soooo good and greatly priced. read more

Tango Pastry - Bakeries Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Love this place! It's hard to find facturas as good as these! I've ordered a cake there as well and it was delicious. My mouth is getting so watery from thinking about their food. But seriously it's really good. read more

I agree with Flor L. Really bad customer service. Basically I went in there, and asked what type of pastries there were (looked like they had about a dozen or so different ones available), and the lady there just said 'pastries'. When I asked what type of pastries, she just said 'European and South American pastries'. Which obviously didn't answer my question about what was in them, the name or the flavors. So I pointed to a specific one and asked what it was specifically and the lady there raised her voice to me and (almost yelled): "I don't know what to tell you, they're PASTRIES!". That was obviously the point where I walked out. The pastries looked good but I had no idea what they were or what was in them. Most people like to know what they are eating. There was one thing there; I don't know if it had a sausage in it or some sort of chocolate or whatever it was. May I also mention that this place is inside a total dump of a hotel? read more

Tucked within the Holiday Inn building along route 1 is this little spot of pastries and hot goods. I have heart eyes for the mini croissant or the pastry with both Quince and custard paired with their house cafe con leche. If you want something warm, the empanadas are also very good, spinach being my favorite among them. Try :) read more

Went along with an native Argentinian from Buenos Aires who was missing food from home to this bakery. It's a bit of an odd location, sharing the lot with a hotel or sorts, but the goods are fairly authentic I'm told. After a friendly conversation with the owner in their native tongue, she ordered some sandwiches de miga and milanesa napolitana. The sandwiches come in 6 halves but they're very thin so I would consider it to be more of a snack than a meal. Each half had different ingredients in them so it was fun trying all these different ingredients you normally wouldn't find in a sandwich like palm hearts. I thought the milanesa was pretty good but maybe that's because it was covered in cheese with a slice of ham. This dish came with fries as well so it was more of a light meal compared to the sandwiches. Afterwards, we ordered a bunch of pastries (I'm told these were very similar to what she had in Argentina as well). Out of our order of medialuna, cara sucia, vigilantes, tronquito, custard, alfajores de maizena, and tarta de ricota she liked the tarta de ricotta, alfajores, and the custards the most. Authentic food is always good. read more

Dear goodness I don't know what they're doing or putting in their food but Tango Pastry is downright addicting and about as good as it gets. The service was amazing, the owner was beyond helpful and she was extremely nice in serving me and informing me about the selections of food that they have. The milanesa is huge and along with the empanadas are some of the best things I've ever had. By the time I got there around 3:30 pm on Friday a lot of their stuff was sold out, but every pastry from the facturas to the alfajores were fantastic. It's sketchily on the side of a Days Inn and in a run down area but you forget about the location pretty quickly once you start eating. Definitely going back. read more

Stopped in here on a Saturday morning. The lady behind the counter was very helpful. I mentioned this was my first time and that I was interested in the pastries. She came around and explained everything they had on display. The vanilla pastries were great- not overly sweet but very delicious. The dulce de leche filled pastries were sweeter but also very good. I will be back for more pastries and to try their empanadas. Great food, great service, and a great price. read more

When I visited a few weeks ago to pick up a selection of empanadas for an all day movie marathon I was invited to, I wasn't surprised by the warm welcome I received. After all, my fellow yelpers seem to have built up quite a following for this charming little latino patisserie. I was delighted by a selection of heavenly pastries and a piping hot box of aromatic little pastry pockets filled with all kinds of deliciousness. Needless to say, my parcels of both sweet and savory were a real treat! I returned this past weekend just to sit with a cup of coffee (with steamed milk, of course), and a couple of empanadas for lunch. Lovely, and if the wind had been a little quieter, I would have plopped down outside to soak up some vitamin D. read more

I have visited the tiny wonderful bakery twice and all I can say is that the facturas are so good fresh and closest in taste to the ones I had in buenos aires. Sandra and the front desk assistance are friendly and helpful. It is a little jewel on route 1 in Alexandria ! read more

Last Friday was my first visit to Tango Pastry. The small sandwiches were awesome, and they could be really a good life-saver when you have people come over for an afternoon. They also have the best (and maybe only) "facturas" in the area. I tried the gnocchi with home-made sauce. The sauce was excellent, and definitely tasted home-made, I cannot say the same for the gnocchi themselves (but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt for not only this being my first time there, but also because I ordered to go). For sure I'm going back...especially for their cakes, they look amazing! read more

I just love it! I am from Argentina and I was looking around until I found Tango Pastry hidden from the rest of the stores.It was like going back home.Everything looked so yummy.I tried facturas,alfajorcitos de maicena and I bought empanadas to bring home.Their menu is varied and prices are reasonable.And last but not least...Sandra rocks! Guillermina :) read more
