We continue our series on the amazing diversity of restaurants at 1253 Vine with Argentinian Empanadas. This modest shop sells fabulous empanadas either to eat in or frozen to take home. I tried all the savory varieties and they were excellent across the board: Chicken with a nice curry seasoning, ham and onion and ham and cheese were reminiscent of French onion tarts, corn and potato had a sweet corn taste, veggie had a creamy spinach filling and the ground beef was well seasoned. These are the ultimate party food; I know the next time I have a party, I'll be grabbing a couple dozen to cook at home.
Argentinan Empanadas also claims to have the city's best milanesa, a claim I will definitely check out and on which I will report back.
Argentinian Empanadas also has locations in Venice and on Robertson.

I wouldn't even have found out about this place if I hadn't visited their booth at a Hermosa Beach festival! Their empanadas were excellent! Their milanesa were out of this world! I haven't had milanesas this good since 1989 when I left Buenos Aires. (Went back in 2002 and couldn't find one this good on short notice.) They even serve ice cold Mexican Coca-Colas :)
I took my friends (Honduran and Salvadorian) and they both loved the milanesa. (My friend didn't like the ham and cheese empanada that much, but I did.)
Didn't get a chance to try the corn empanadas or the smoothies, but the milanesa alone was worth the visit :) I just wish they served choripans....
A solid 10/10!
