| - My boyfriend and I took the day off work to enjoy the warm, sunny weather. On the way back from washing the car, we passed the Tango Cafe and decided it was high time we got some empanadas. They run about $2.25 each, I think. I also got a "fruit ice" which is canned fruit blended with ice. It took the woman a few minutes to get it all together, but I would much rather wait a few minutes than have her just grab food that's been sitting under a heat lamp! it's cash only, so keep that in mind. Clearly she was the owner, the only employee in the whole place. She was quiet but friendly.
My fruit ice (I got the peach kind) was refreshing as advertised, but simple. It literally tasted like canned peaches blended with ice, but since that's exactly what fruit ice is made of, I expected and enjoyed it. They also offer fruit smoothies if you want something that presumably tastes fresher. We took our snacks home, and dug in. We got four for two of us which I think is a good snack size. The empanadas are quite small - maybe 4-5 bites each - if you wanted lunch, you might want 4 for yourself.
We tried the beef, the sausage, the chicken, and the spinach. All were quite good - the crust looked and tasted unquestionably homemade. They were hot and still a little shiny from the fryer. The beef was my favorite - well seasoned, with a hint of olive flavor. The chicken tasted very fresh. The spinach was nice since it added a relatively healthy snack to the mix. All of them were very good little bites.
Please come for a snack, and support a local business. Sounds like the coffee and pastries are really special - we didn't try either this time - so I will no doubt be back for more!
