Tango's

Located on Orchard St just south of Emerald St. you’ll find a little place called Tango’s. Those of us that have been around for a while remember this place being one donut shop after another but I think it’s now safe to say this building has found its rightful owner. I first read about this place in the paper what seems to be an eternity ago and made a mental note to try it out. Several recommendations, mental relapses and substantial hair loss later I finally made it in to try the Argentinean Style fare.
Not many of you reading this (including me) know exactly what Argentinean Style food is but certainly everyone’s heard of an empanada? Yep, a deep fried pie filled with variations of meat, vegetables, cheese and probably the most famous, the desert pie. With over 30 empanadas to choose from don’t be afraid to ask questions to the friendly staff or the other patrons in line. Chances are the person in front of you has been there many times before and at $2 per pie, don’t be afraid to get a couple. Big eaters may want to get three.
Today being my first visit I decide to get the jalapeno and cheese empanada and the Tango (beef) sub with jalapenos and onions. Yeah, I know, the jalapenos will get revenge later. I was impressed with both and would be torn the next visit but will most likely try their other choices of empanadas. They also have beer!!!! Although I passed on the brew today I will keep in mind they have 6 or 7 types of beer to choose from including three of my favorites; Alaskans Amber, Fat Tire and Negra Modelo.
Take your $6 lunch allowance to Tango’s, try it out and post your comments here. With 30 to choose from; we could all use your help in narrowing down the field. Buen apetito!
