Rincón Argentino

Top choice in Boulder


Don't be turned off by the shopping plaza setting: Rincón packs a wallop of authentic Argentinean flavors. It bakes fresh empanadas – savory, small turnovers filled with spiced meat, or mozzarella and basil – which are perfect with a glass of Malbec. It also offers milanesas (breaded-beef-cutlet sandwiches); and gourds of yerba maté, a high-octane coffee alternative.
