Authentic Argentine Empanadas in the Rockies

Tucked into Keystone's bustling Dercum Square, The Argentos Empanadas brings the soul of Argentina to Colorado's high country. Owners Andrea and Leo, hailing from the land of Malbec and masterful pastries, craft oversized empanadas that burst with traditional flavors. Each golden, flaky shell encases generous fillings, from classic beef argento with onions, peppers, olives, and hard-boiled eggs to spicy BBQ chicken laced with jalapeños and tangy sauce. With over 15 varieties including chorizo, mushroom spinach, caprese, and veggie mixes, there's a perfect bite for every palate.

Hearty Fuel for Mountain Adventures

Ideal for refueling after a day on Keystone's slopes or trails, these empanadas are substantial—two can satisfy most appetites, though post-ski hunger might demand more. Priced around $5 each, they're a budget-friendly alternative to heavy resort fare. Savory options like steak argento and chorizo pair beautifully with sweet finishes: rich chocolate cake or crumbly alfajores filled with dulce de leche. The menu also features breakfast empanadas like egg and potatoes, making it a versatile spot from morning to evening.

Cozy Quick-Bite Ambiance

This unpretentious counter-service spot emphasizes speed and quality over seating. Limited indoor tables mean quick turnover, while outdoor options suit milder days but chill in winter. Service is friendly and efficient, with staff often sharing sauce recommendations to elevate your empanada. Open daily from 8 AM to 7 PM, it's a reliable stop in a ski-centric village, steps from lifts and bike parks.

Argentine Heritage Meets Colorado Vibes

Andrea and Leo's story infuses every empanada: immigrants chasing a brighter future, they blend Argentina's immigrant-forged cuisine—European influences, bold spices, and passion—into Rocky Mountain life. Reviews rave about the juicy, flavorful fillings and crispy cornmeal dough, though veggie options sometimes draw mixed notes. Delivery via apps expands access, but nothing beats grabbing a fresh dozen to go.

Practical Visitor Essentials

Located at 100 Dercum Square Unit E-7A, it's walkable from Keystone Resort. Credit cards accepted; no reservations needed for this casual eatery. Focus on takeout keeps lines short, perfect for on-the-go diners.
