In his grandmother’s kitchen in Buenos Aires, Argentina, chef Facundo DeFraia, spent countless hours working side-by-side his grandmother learning the art of Argentinian cooking. Facundo brought his love of cooking to the west coast in the early 2000’s and relocated to Minneapolis to assist his childhood friend, James Beard award nominee, Daniel Del Prado, in opening Martina.
After being named the dough wisperer by Rick Nelson, Minneapolis Star Tribune food writer, Facundo began dreaming up his own pizzeria concept. Inspired by his childhood Boludo was born in 2018 in the quaint Kingfield neighborhood in South Minneapolis. Boludo unites community and people through food and music, bringing a taste of Buenos Aires to Minneapolis.
Casual chain outlet offering Argentinian-inspired pizzas & empanadas, plus gluten-free options.

Always delicious
Our usual consists of the Pepperoni Pizza paired with Mexican Cokes, and a few Messi Empanadas! It’s like our family rule, if we’re going to Boludo we’re getting all of the things!!
I was late on the pics – there was no time to waste!
Get all the things, you won’t be disappointed.

I ordered the pepperoni pizza, churro donuts, sprite bottle. All delicious. Tomato sauce was sweet. I like the way they sprinkle the fancy shredded cheese on the crust. The donuts with the dulce con leche was spot on. They asked to seat yourselves to a table and go up front when you ready to order and pay up. You can pick your own utensils, napkins and free water and buss your own dishes when your are done. Also have to go boxes in case you don’t finish your meal. Will have to come back for the empanadas.

The food all looks amazing and based on all the pics I definitely wanted to come here. I was lucky there was no line because you have to order first then sit. I got the margarita pizza and empanadas. Unfortunately they were both very salty for my taste. The appearance and texture however are great. It’s good for a bite to eat.
Another thing to point out… when you come into the establishment, it’s confusing because there is no signage telling you that you have to order first then sit.
Also this makes the front door crowded and in case of an emergency it would be hard to leave quick.

The pepperoni pizza was pretty good, sauce was a but sweet for my liking but I’d still order it again. My mom got the Ceasar salad, it was huge! We definitely had leftovers of both. Heads up on the salad though, when they say spicy bread crumbs…they mean SPICY!

Actually the best meal I have had in a long time!! The pizza was utterly amazing!! The ceaser salad was so crisp and delicious! Got to try the empanadas and they were yummy and reasonably priced. Everything had an excessive yet incredible amount of Parmesan! Made me want to order just a bowl of Parmesan it was too good! Also got churro donuts which were so delicious and topped off the whole meal!! 15/10 will be dreaming of this meal!

We just love their authentic flavorful Argentine empanadas, delicious pepperoni pizza and churros donuts! The portion was big and we ate them all in one sitting. It is has a pretty chill atmosphere with outdoor dining space and staff were friendly with prompt service. The price was reasonable too.

The best Argentine-style empanada in Minneapolis. It really surprised me. It was delicious, and the pizza was just the way I like it. A fond memory of the goodness of Argentine food. All I needed was a Milanesa, and it was superb.

I placed an order for a birthday party, I invited guests and thought it would have been a good idea.
The order was paid and placed in the morning. When I drove to pick it up ( tracking said ready) the restaurant was closed with no notice. It would have been ok if I receive prior notice.
No need to add anything else!

Delicious food and beer! We went as a group of 5 and got the campo and pepperoni pizzas, as well as the pollo and carne empanadas; all equally delicious. The empanada sauce was really good and was tasty on the pizza too. The churro donuts are a must try if you love a sweet treat! It was pretty slow when we got there so seating was plentiful, although you’ll need some extra time to find parking and walk to the place. It’s mostly a self serve, so you order at the front, get your own dishes, and clean your own table up. Overall, great food!

The Humida Empanada was fantastic. I ordered the Sarandera pizza. I didn’t realize how much Arugula would come on top of the pizza but it was still very tasty! I highly recommend trying them and I can’t wait to be back to try more of the menu! FYI, you have to go to the register to order so you aren’t sitting at a table waiting for a server to come take your order!
