Forget the restaurant chains in downtown Delray Beach. Head south down SE 5th Avenue for the best empanadas in the area. My wife, eight-year-old daughter, and I went on a Saturday morning in July. Here's our experience. 1) Food: The owner Allen makes fresh Argentinian empanadas in 12 flavors, including a vegan option and sweet one. The savory empanadas range from classic to more American inspired like the Cheeseburger Empanada. We ordered the Carne Empanada and Spicy BBQ Pork Empanada. Both were excellent- full of flavor, fresh, and so good. We ended up ordering an extra Carne one because our daughter loved it too. They also sell smoothies and acai bowls. We all enjoyed the Acai Nutella Bowl with raspberries, bananas, and more. (Ask for extra spoons to share.) 2) Drinks: They sell coffee drinks like lattes and cafe con leche and Coca-Cola products. Three kinds of beers are on the menu too. 3) Service: Allen runs the entire shop. He's kind and passionate about the business he's building for his family. Food comes out quickly. 4) Space: Inside a tiny space within a building with local shops and murals, The Gringo comes with a tiny window where you order. A few picnic tables are nearby with umbrellas for shade. So far, The Gringo is the best food experience we've had in Delray Beach! read more

5 Stars for fantastic Argentinian empanadas at a quick and casual location. We found The Gringo on Yelp when in the Delray Beach area and pulled up to the order window. There is no indoor seating, but there's really pleasant picnic table seating outside with music playing and shade. We ordered directly with the owner, who was super friendly and helped us make our decisions. I love a baked empanada (as opposed to fried), and so we got the following flavors: De messi Carne Vegan Truffle Mac & cheese The stars were the carne and truffle Mac and cheese flavors. Some of them come topped with chimichurri, and the vegan comes topped with tomatillo. The pastry was great and we finished every bite! They have a bathroom, but it's around the corner through a red door (you'll think you're entering someone's apartment, but trust the process lol). Overall, we're big fans! read more

I came here from reading the other yelp reviews! I came to Stuart Fl to visit for the weekend (my sister) So on my way to the airport in Fort Lauderdale, stopped at the Gringo. The empanadas are FANTASTIC. The pork was juicy and with a slightly sweet spicy taste .. mmm. Then the Mac n Cheese empanada OMG if you like a gooey cheese Mac n cheese this your place. The vibe is chill! And the patio with beach seating. Reggae music playing in the background just set the scene. Ordering is easy. Go to the window pick out your empanada or pick a combo (recommended) and have a seat. Everything is made FRESH. In a few minutes you'll have a new favorite spot. Two empanadas is enough to fill you. And the hospitality is great. No more rambling gotta catch a flight!! read more

Was exploring the Delray area today and thought what wouldn't be better than grabbing some fresh made empanadas at The Gringo. Going in, there was very limited parking available up front so I walked a block or two down the street. For lunch, I just ordered 1x Messi empanada (minced steak, sautéed onions, red peppers, and cheese) and 1x original beef empanada (ground beef, onions, olives, seasoning). Moving on with my review; these empanadas were pretty awesome! Each were flaky, crispy, possessed well seasoned beef and had their own distinctive flavor! Only critique was that the chimmicuri was a bit overpowering on top and might've preferred this on the side. Despite my criticism, the owner was super friendly and the empanadas were very fresh. Final verdict 4/5 stars! read more

Delicious authentic Empanadas! Served hot right to the window for you to enjoy on outside seating benches in a cute little hidden area. So good, worth popping by to try or ordering to go. read more

Tried the Messi, chipotle chicken, and truffle empanadas. They were all average, not as good as I expected. I like that they're baked but they weren't crispy enough. Sauce was no big deal and insanely small. read more

Catering experts! I was celebrating my daughter's 1st bday and the first please that came to my mind to have empanadas was from The Gringo. The crazy things is that I've never had them before, I was going off the reviews and the great things people were saying about them. I ordered the small party platter which includes 30 empanadas with 3 flavors to choose from & 5 of their sweet lovers empanada. I got the buffalo chicken, carne & De Messi empanada, also a side of chimichurri sauce with my order. FYI You get free delivery on order $30 or more within 5 miles. Having bday party to get ready to it was the best idea to order delivery. You can pick the date and time of the delivery and let me tell you they were on time to the dot! Let's talk about flavors!!! Omg they were all so delicious everyone at the party loved the empanadas, they were light and filled with a lot ALOT of meat. If you have leftovers just pop them in the microwave or in the air fryer and done! I seriously can't wait to try the other flavors. read more

Visited The Gringo after multiple Instagram foodie videos, and I can say it lived up to its standard. Looked in Delray Beach in a cute little shopping plaza. You can either order to go or they have outdoor seating. We ordered the empanada platter with 5 empanadas and I can say they did not disappoint. They have different "flavors" to choose from steering away from the very traditional empanadas you find at any local bakery. We had the truffle mac and cheese, birria, buffalo chicken, the Cuban & spicy pork. All were truly amazing, and filled with flavor!! They also have açaí bowls, & smoothies to choose from which I will be going back to try. Service was good, it's just a little order window so don't expect a full bakery service experience. Just make your way there for the empanadas. read more

I purchased an assortment of several empanadas and I thought all were okay and I've had better and I've had worse with nothing being terrible and and a few were good. Also I thought a few of the empanadas had similar tastes so discerning different varieties was a little difficult. My family had mixed reviews but most liked the empanadas, hence the four star review. The employee (owner?) was nice and helpful. read more

We are lucky enough to live close by The Gringo, so we've been a few times and they never disappoint!! Food is great every single time, we've tried a few different menu items and you can't go wrong with any of them. The people are so friendly too! A great spot! read more

Best empanadas ever!!! Got to try el Messi and Cubano!! They açaí bowls look amazing. Hope they do burritos one day!! read more

The empanadas are fabulous! I decided to do a tequila tasting an empanada dinner for my friends these reheated beautifully, and everyone absolutely love them! read more

Quality fresh food, prepared to-order, with care and cleanliness and kindness, at a charming roadside spot with picnic tables -- convenient but also inviting. The famous empanadas are also sold at several top quality food shops -- but can be ordered one or three or 20 at a time. My favorite is the breakfast burrito. My daughter loves the açaí bowl. My son and husband won't try anything but the traffic stopping empanadas; allegedly: life is too short for a single bite of anything less perfect. The Gringo is a treasure. We've only ever met one man who works there and he is The Coolest Dude. read more

We've been coming here for over a year now, so this review is well earned and overdue. The most delicious and freshest empanadas in Delray and surrounding areas, just go and get you some! Also, the nicest guys run this place, which is always a huge plus. It's always a nice, pleasant experience to drop by here for lunch. Good people, good vibes, great empanadas!

Excellent food. Made by hand when ordered. No premade stuff. The owner is from Argentina and makes really great food. Convenient location off Federal Highway and again, excellent food. I had the Traditonal and the De Messi and I hoovered them down. Delicious, I've been to Argentina in the past and these definitely are authentic and taste as good as being there. Support your local businesses and enjoy the taste of real food. Thanks for the great experience. read more

Good empanadas and a cute kiosk. Tables outside along US 1 make it a unique experience. They are not large so you better order extra if you are hungry. There were many ordering pizza empanadas for lunch. I asked if they had rice because it was on the picture on yelp and the employee said they're not in the business of rice they're in the business of empanadas. I told him it was on the website and he said no all they have is empanadas now that was just for the opening. Overall, the food was good, it takes a bit of time so it's better to order ahead and if you're hungry, you may want to order more than one. At $5.95 each I believe they have some specials on the website that are not in the window when you go to order so make sure that you look up the specials before you get there. read more

Favorite small business in Delray! Definitely worth the stop, hidden gem with great people

Could have stumbled upon the best empanadas this side of Miami. Alan the owner is a real gentleman. Food is outstanding and prices are most reasonable . Try the Cuban ... You will just be disappointed . The Carne is also outstanding . Just sayin . read more

I really like gringos . We grab some food every time I get a haircut next door. Weird the breakfast burrito never has the same ingredients no matter which one you order. Never know what to expect lol Nice crew working there , If you want a snack definitely stop by, they have tables to sit outside. read more

Rivals one of the best empanadas we have had. Ground beef and the Messi were delicious. Love that they are baked, not fried. Perfect amount of filling. Have been back 3x already. read more

Wooowwww, these empanadas are a game changer Didn't have time to breathe when I was eating the truffle Mac and cheese one And the chicken empanada made me feel like I was teleported to a Caribbean island Been here a few times now and it always slapsss read more

Cool little spot! Went for lunch and definetly coming back! Presentarion 100! Looks like they combine the sauce with type of empanada and I do like that but I'm a spicy type of eater and definitely recommend to have an authentic spicy sauce on the side to compliment the amazing empanadas! Birria empanada by the way was my favorite! The ground beef and the cuban dont stay behind! Thank you for the great experience! read more

The Gringo - Birria, ground beef, cuban style! Yummy! - Latin American Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

I don't understand all the rave reviews this place has. I got there shortly after opening. I was advised that they are out of the empanadas I had particularly came for. Which seemed odd as they just opened minutes ago. Made a back up decision which wasn't really what I came for since I had wanted to have breakfast just after 9am. The café con leche I seemed to not have much sugar, nor was I asked if I'd like any at all. The Cuban empanadas were very small as mentioned in a previous review. (similar to what you might find under a convenient store heat lamp) The filling seemed to be the ingredients that you would have found on a Cuban sandwich, and had the texture of food ran through a food processor. Not sure I'll return as there are other options closer to me and those location offer a more authentic Latin inspired grab and go café/bakery eatery experience. Other things to note: all outdoor seating, small/tight parking, cashier/cook was nice enough read more

This place is super great. Got the spicy bbq and Cuban both good. Very reasonably priced. Not sure why I was the only one eating this place deserves more diners read more

My wife and I love empanadas and used to drive down to Miami just for empanadas. Now we don't have to make the trek down to Miami because we will be a frequent visitor to The Gringo. This place serves high quality baked empanadas that are full of flavor and perfectly baked. Everyone seems to just fry empanadas these days so finding these baked ones are truly refreshing. We got a flight of empanadas to share and debated getting more but had to run somewhere. We will definitely be back to try the rest and any new ones that are offered. My only complaint is that they are a little small - though they are packed with flavor which makes up for it - I just wish I had more to eat. read more

Oh myyyyyy. I was lucky enough to get to try some of their empanadas a few weeks ago (that were shipped across multiple states) and I've been thinking about them ever since. Their ability to ship such *truly perfect* empanadas is impressive, and they reheated so wonderfully. Would definitely recommend if in the area (or reaching out to inquire about shipping if not). read more

Whoa! These are some tasty Empanadas. Order at the pickup window and sit outside, enjoy the music and sip a soda or a beer. I had the Cubano & Cheeseburger. The chef/owner was very friendly and the food came out really fast. Parking is tight, but I parked on the road infront of the store with no issues. I will definetely be back to try some of the other options! read more

Still the best local and authentic empananas around. And they keep adding new flavors while retaining the classics.

Amazing empanadas! Will keep in mind next time I need catering for a party. Just so fresh!

I'm here for the empanadas!!! Packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and just mouthwatering. read more
