The Urban List

"There’s a few Spanish-style pintxos to get you started—personally, we could have eaten about 28 of the beef, green olive and boiled egg empanadas. Word to the wise though: let them cool down. We practically scalded ourselves they smelled so good."

Delicious Australia

"The golden, buttery pastry, like a trucker who moisturizes, manages to be both strong and delicate. The juicy, paprika-scented beef is teamed with boiled egg for creamy heft, a fine dice of green olives delivering briny cut through. Paired with a Patagonian lager brewed to spec, as an opening snack they’re hard to beat. Perfected over many years, it’s little wonder the empanadas at Asado are terrific."

Maggie Lam

"Melt-in-the-mouth pastry of the empanadas filled with sensationally flavorsome fillings of either beef or sweetcorn+cheese."

Ross and Kate Stevenson

"There are so many great options on the tapas-pintxos list but it’s hard to go past the beef empanadas ($6), which are punchy little pockets of minced skirt, flank and eye fillet steak mixed with green olives, egg, cumin and garlic. Latin America’s answer to the pasty, you could eat a tonne of these if it weren’t for the fact you had some mighty mains to come."
