Genuine Argentinean and American-style empanadas and subs. Since 2006, we have been creating empanadas for the Treasure Valley and have over 50 varieties -from savory to desserts! We cook your empanadas when you order, so they’re fresh, never reheated or kept in warmers. We’re a mom and pop business who has been blessed to have their dream come true here in Idaho and it’s all because of our wonderful customer family! So if it’s empanadas you want, we’re here. From the authentic meat, salteña, chicken, ham and cheese, humita, spinach, fugazza and even dulce de leche, there’s something for everyone. We also have among our subs: milanesa, choripan and lomito. We carry Yerba mate, gourds, bombilla and other staples from Argentina.
Laid-back mom-&-pop shop garners raves for its traditional Argentinean empanadas & sub sandwiches.

Tangos is the place to be! I’ve never had empanadas before but theirs have me hooked, the breading is thick enough to hold in the juice and filling, but not so thick you feel like you’re eating mostly dough. The filling is packed with flavor, my personal favorite is the Tinga. They also have dessert empanadas, delicious. The young man at the register was very kind and patient as we figured out what we wanted, and the staff that came through were kind and smiled at us. Please visit and support their business.

We loved these Empanadas so much yesterday that we had to return to try more flavors. My favorite was the Chimicarne. I highly recommend this shop!

Tango’s is a critically acclaimed wonder of culinary delight, and we had to stop in for a snack as we made our way through Boise for the last leg of our road trip. We had heard nothing but good about the food and the service, hailed by many as the best empenadas north of the border. We were not disappointed.
Staff were polite and helpful, and the space was small but comfortable. The empenadas themselves were absolutely perfect, in texture, flavor, and consistency. I particulary enjoyed the “Rancho”, a bean and pork masterpiece. We savored every single bite, so much so that we had to pick up a a few to take with us before we left.
You would be remiss to miss an opportunity to stop by Tango’s, should you get a chance!

You will learn very quickly why their food is award winning.
The best Cuban Sub I have had in years! Possibly ever.
10/10 Would definitely recommend.

I know they are in the process of moving from this location to down the street. I hope that will be a slightly bigger location as this one was quiet small. However what they packed in seating they more than made up for in the food. Try one of everything. It is that good.

Dang… I love Jamaican Juicy Beef Patties, but can’t find anything quite like them around here. These little pieces of heaven are a close second.
Tango’s empanadas are sooo good. Whether you choose, the beef filled empanadas or the fruit filled ones you can’t go wrong.

So delicious- I got the carne asada and cheeseburger supreme (I know) empanadas, and both were fantastic. Super rich in flavor- the carne asada one especially, the onions or cilantro or whatever seasonings they’ve got in there are 10/10

Oh my God! 5/5 all the way!!!!! I ordered 6 of these absolutely amazing, heavily pastries and it was not enough to fulfill my hunger because they were so good. My first impression was that I couldn’t believe damn big that menu is. Seriously. You’re gonna have a fun time if you didn’t study beforehand because I did and I was still floored over how indecisive I was!
After staring at the menu for what seemed like forever I finally picked two beef empanadas ($3.75-$4.00), Gaucho (Argentina original. Ground beef, eggs, olives, onions, bell peppers and spices) and Saltena (from Salta, Argentina. Ground beef, onion, eggs and potatoes). Of the two, the Gaucho was the one for me. It was full of flavor, super stuffed and piping hot! Saltena is great as well, tasted like taco seasoning but authentic.
From the chicken menu I picked the Gardel (chicken in light marinara sauce, $3.75). Super good! The chicken was tender and juicy. Whatever spices were thrown in there created a fantastic taste.
For our pork option, I chose the Rancho (house made refried beans, in-house Mexican chorizo, cheddar cheese and jalapenos, $3.75). Whew, this was a spicy one. They don’t tread lightly on the jalapenos, FYI. This empanada was exquisite, my favorite out off all the savory choices.
Of course, I couldn’t dare skip out on the dessert empanadas. The Chocolate (dulce de leche, creame cheese and chocolate chips) and La Nona (dulce de leche and bananas) are out of this damn world!!! Extremely sweet, I’ve been dreaming about these since I tried them.
Tango’s is such a blessing to Boise! I cannot wait to go back so so soon!!
