Argentina Cafe Empanada Factory

Mayhem Magazine

Oye Che!!! Authentic Argentinan Salteñas in the heart of Houston. Who knew? And ... Guess what? They were fantastic. From the presentation to the texture and the juicy contents. You won't be disappointed. Shout out to Cindy for being a great culinary guide on the journey back to my childhood. Mayhem Approved *****

Empanadas are good quality, good size, and good flavor, only missing a little bit of salt. You also have the option to get fried or baked. If you prefer it baked it will take around 10 minutes to ne prepare. The place is small with only 5 tables inside but it's OK, very clean and well maintained. Maizena alfajores are ok a little dry but not too sweet that for me is better than the Argentinian commercial Brand Havanna.

I will not return here for coffee; I was expecting an Americano as a full portion not the size of an expresso and sold as one but just a half of a small coffee. The young lady didn’t even start to make the coffee until I had to ask for it. I hope they get better! To me it’s very misleading. ZERO customer service!

Absolutely amazing empanadas! The flavors were rich, fresh, and perfectly seasoned — you can tell everything is made with care. The dough was crispy on the outside and soft inside, and every filling I tried was delicious. The customer service was friendly and welcoming, and the place had a great vibe overall. Easily the best empanadas I’ve had in town. Highly recommended!

1 Star – Repeated Disappointment with Staff Attitude I’m a regular customer who orders a lot each time I visit. But every single time I ask for an extra sauce—because the sauces are tiny and never enough—I’m met with a look of annoyance or reluctance from the staff. No words, just a passive-aggressive face like I’m asking for something outrageous. Let me be clear: if you want to charge for extra sauce, do it. Just say so. No one minds clarity. But to make a customer feel unwelcome over a simple request—that’s not hospitality, it’s disrespect. In a city full of restaurants, people choose to spend their time and money at your establishment. That should be met with appreciation, not attitude. I’m not asking for free food—I’m asking to be treated like a paying customer who deserves a basic level of respect. The irony? I could cook this same food at home for less. I come here for the experience. And this is the experience I keep getting? Yes, the food is good. But it’s not worth being made to feel like a nuisance. Not anymore.
