Beef empanada with chimichurri at the bottom. Chicken empanada at the top.
John L.

An Argentine bakery opened in 2011 with Argentine pastries, sandwiches, bread, empanadas, milanesas, and drinks. They are located in an old Days Inn hotel. The exterior of the hotel needs repairs and paint. My wife and I visited to try their Argentine food. We got 9 items. 1) Beef Empanada It had lots of seasoned ground beef in freshly made dough that was baked. It came with a small condiment cup of chimichurri. The chimichurri had oil, vinegar, parsley, oregano, garlic, and salt. It tasted like Italian dressing. This empanada was one of the best tasting that we have had in a long time. The freshness and seasoning were excellent. The beef was moist and savory with flavors of salt, pepper, cumin, garlic, onion, oregano, and sweet paprika. The shell was soft and a little stretchy. This is the one to get! All of the empanadas came with chimichurri. 2) Ham & Cheese Empanada It had little cubes of ham, brie cheese, onions, and basil. It was too salty with no counterbalance in flavor. The cheese was the culprit. Otherwise, it'd be okay. The shell was like a puff pastry. Flaky, slightly chewy, and moist with a white bread taste. 3) Chicken Empanada It had ground chicken, onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. There were no olives or egg as described in the menu. It was too simple tasting. The shell was the same as the ham & cheese. 4) Factura w/dulce de leche A dulce de leche filled croissant like pastry called medialuna. The filling was moderately sweet with a slightly burnt milk flavor. It was unappealing. Medialunas are different from croissants. The dough has egg, more sugar, and less butter. It is denser, chewier, and breadlike with a flaky exterior. It tasted fine. 5) Factura Medialuna A vanilla cream filled medialuna. The pastry shell was the same as above. The cream filling was mildly sweet with a light vanilla flavor. Good texture and so-so taste. The name is confusing. 6) Factura with pastry cream A danish with vanilla pastry cream. The cream was the same as above. The danish was flaky, airy, slightly sweet, and typical. The pastry was covered with a sticky sugar glaze that was moderately sweet. It was better tasting than the Factura Medialuna. 7) Factura with quince jam A danish with slightly sweet quince jam. The jam tasted like green apple and green anjou pear with a touch of citrus. It had the same glaze as above. This had more flavor than the vanilla cream. 8) Pepas It came in a bag of 10 cookies topped with a small dollop of chewy quince paste. The cookie tasted like a mildly sweet sugar cookie with a texture like shortbread. The quince had a hint of sweetness and citrus flavor. Edible and forgettable. 9) Cappucino The coffee was a medium roast that was smooth and not bitter. It was made with cream, so it was rich and didn't need sweetening. The coffee roast was wrong, but it tasted fine. The service was polite, responsive, quick, and helpful. They speak limited English, so knowing Spanish would be helpful. An employee used a translation app on her smartphone to figure out our questions and to answer back. The dining room was old but clean. There was no restroom for customers.They have a free parking lot. The food appeared to be authentic, but authentic doesn't mean good. Ever try sannakji, balut, or casu marzu? Sannakji is a Korean dish of live small octopus. Chew well because they're slimey and active. Balut is a Filipino dish of soft boiled duck egg with a fetus inside. Beak, bones, and feathers included. Casu Marzu is sheep's milk cheese rotted with live maggots. The live maggots are eaten with the cheese. Change would be better than authentic. This bakery can keep the authentic and expand to better tasting food. None of the food was bad. They were made well with flavors that could be improved. The beef empanadas are worth another visit, and I would be willing to try something else.

I love supporting small businesses, especially when what they offer is done well! Tango was a pleasant surprise. I stumbled across this cafe while visiting the area and was floored by the quality. There were a few pastries in the case and I ordered empanadas and a vanilla croissant. All items were flavorful, perfectly executed and left me wanting more! Do not be fooled by the area. Located directly next to a Days Inn, so location is out of place but Definitely recommend and I will return!

Tango pastry is a hidden GEM! I love that it has so many Argentine characteristics in there! And not only that but the smell when you come in feels so nostalgic! It's honestly the best. The lady at the register was so nice and helpful her attitude was everything! Will be coming back that's for certain!

I tried this place yesterday and have to say I was quite impressed! This place is located next to a hotel. The inside is super cute! They have a place for sugar and creamer for your coffee. The decorations are so cute and gives the place a nice atmosphere. Also the restroom is actually located in the hotel, so you have to ask for a restroom key and go into the hotel to use the restroom. I loved the cappuccino and mini alfajores! The cappuccino was strong so I had to add sugar because I like my coffee on the sweet side. The mini alfajores were super delicious. They were not too sweet but with the coffee it tasted super good. As for the empanadas, I enjoyed the chicken and beef one quite a bit. The beef and chicken had such a great flavor. The spinach and cheese I did like but sadly it got cold quick. The breading of the empanada I feel like could be more flavorful as well. Overall I did enjoy my experience here. I would come back for coffee and pastries but I'm not so sure about the empanadas. I would definitely recommend to check this place out at least once

Such a cute, cozy bakery with a surprisingly large selection of delightful, delicious Argentine treats (lots of different facturas/pastries, empanadas, coffee, sandwiches, pizza, etc.) topped with warm and friendly service! :) The daily special latte I ordered (Tango Latte) was delicious! It was perfectly milky and strong and had dulce de leche, which was a pleasant surprise. The empanadas were freshly made and packed with filling and flavor - the beef one was my personal favorite. There were so many different pastries (facturas) to choose from, and the staff there was so nice and patient answering all of our questions. The alfajores tasted like a shortbread cookie sandwich with delicious caramel filling (not too sweet, which I liked) and was a perfect afternoon treat. The price was also very reasonable for the quality. The interior was cute, clean, and comfortable. I will definitely be back and have already recommended this place to some friends.

Empanada Mendocina & Chicken Empanada

The empanadas are AMAZING. The service is great, and this is seriously a hidden little treasure. It's right in the Days Inn building and looks hidden - but a great spot for breakfast or a coffee break.

Assorted pastries

Went in this morning & ordered one of each of the pastries plus two cappuccinos. We hadn't had Argentine pastries before & everything was just delicious. The pastry cream filled pastry was definitely our favorite & the service was wonderful! It's on the side of a Days Inn but totally worth finding it!

I was born and raised in Argentina. I can assure you this is authentic Argentinean Pastries, empanadas, and all the delicious food they have on the menu. I live in NC and it's difficult to know such a wonderful place like this. Authenticate. So, every time I come to visit some friends or on my way to NY is a must-stop! I emailed Sandra some days before my arrival. Everything was ready and fresh. The staff is super friendly. I ordered to go: two fugazzetas pizzas (the ones with onions) and put them in my fridge. A dozen of empanadas. 24 sandwiches de miga (ham & cheese) and request 12 more in different flavors. 2 pies. A dozen of pastries (facturas), alfajores, and probably I'm forgetting something else. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Try it all! You won't regret it. Thank you, Sandra and the girls! Wish you were closer!

Delicious colorful vibrant soft serve! I've been here countless times with my kids! The purple Ube…read moreice cream and green coconutty Pandan ice cream twist is our favorite and love topping it off with Oreo crumbles or sprinkles, and let's not forget the Ube wafers and Taikayi waffle cones! The flavors rotate seasonally with different combo twist flavors and there's now a Mini 6 oz option as well as the 9 oz classic option with unlimited toppings! There are interesting seasonal flavors that are fun to try: - Honey Dew & Guava Cheesecake Twist - The summer flavor and sweetness of the honey dew complemented the exotic guava cheesecake flavor. - Peach Honey Goat Cheese - My favorite summer! The unique flavor is complex with a bit sweetness and a touch of savory. You can taste all of the ingredients. - Sakura: The pink cherry spring flavor wasn't that sweet and a bit tangy. - Kyoto Taro Cheesecake: A great combo of Taro and Matcha Cheesecake twist that's not too sweet and flavorful Ube Cheesecake flavor - A bit bland with a subtle cheesecake flavor. - Watermelon Basil - Fun flavor to try and tastes like a sour watermelon jollyrancher. It pairs well with the Peach Honey Goat Cheese flavor. - Black Sesame - Grey, savory flavor with a hint of bitterness. - Cookies and Cream flavor is a bit bland. - Classic Ube & Pandan Twist: I always resort back to my favorite default sweet and coconutty flavor. The Taikayi waffle cones are delicious. As the stuffed Taikyai is quite decadent, getting it hollow without any filling is the best way to go with the ice cream. Any type of filling with the ice cream becomes overload of sweetness. The Wicked Pandan Float (from the glass cooler) was delicious with layers of green coconut Pandan cheesecake custard pudding on a bed of Oreo Crumbs drizzled with salted caramel dulche leche. All of the flavors pair well together. I wasn't a fan of the Ube Dulce Leche or the Ube Oreo Floater. The Ube custard was a bit bland and didn't like the jelly topping. Skip the floats in the cooler and head straight to order the ice cream! Sign-up with the app and you can score deals and discounts via text and get notified of new flavors and when some flavors retire. My kids and I enjoyed love coming here and sharing a fun sundae! We came here a dozen times during the summer. There's both indoor and outdoor seating.

I give this place a 10/10. I have been here a million times, and Qamaria never fails…read more There are currently two Yemeni coffee houses in the area, but I am very loyal to the Vienna location. Personally just prefer the drinks here, and the customer service is also really good. If you're someone who likes boba or coffee after dinner, I'd highly suggest this place as they have everything from regular coffee/espresso drinks to unique kinds of lattes, and my personal favorite, the Adeni Chai latte. Also there's different types of cakes/desserts that go together perfectly with your drink. Highly suggest the basbousa if you are trying something -- it's perfectly light, yummy, but not too sweet. While it's not super huge, it's still a good size and I often see people in here studying or families gathering to have tea. The ambiance is very welcoming. So overall, I have to rate it as a great cafe. We will obviously be back.

I've been to this coffee shop a couple of times! If you want to experience authentic Yemeni coffee,…read morehead straight to Qamaria! They offer a variety of Yemeni coffees to try. I ordered a simple latte with oat milk, and it was really good. I didn't order the one with spices. Maybe next time! I also asked for it in a mug, which made it extra special. The Lotus Tres Leches cake was a great companion to the coffee, not too sweet. I've also tried the Honey comb cake, and the honey cake, which are not bad at all! I also love how spacious this location is. There's a front and back seating area with the coffee bar in the middle, lots of seats, and the shop is nicely decorated. There's plenty of parking, but it can get tricky during peak hours since it's in a strip mall with lots of restaurants and other shops. Perfect spot to relax, enjoy coffee, and take in the cozy, thoughtfully designed space!
