Cocina Milonga

Traditional Argentinian empanadas and pastries made with local ingredients and family recipes paired with yerba mate and coffee.

Cocina Milonga on Alida Way in South San Francisco makes Argentinian empanadas the center of a flexible meal. The handcrafted pastries come baked for immediate eating or frozen for preparing at home. We like that a mixed order can cover several cravings without requiring everyone to choose the same filling. Options include chorizo, mushroom, spinach, ham and cheese, and tomato basil, alongside potato and roasted-vegetable versions marked vegan. Sweet empanadas bring apple or pineapple into the selection, while dulce de leche pastries offer another dessert direction. Chimichurri provides a savory accompaniment, and coffee or yerba mate completes a snack stop. The appeal is a focused bakery-style menu with enough variety to turn a quick empanada pickup into a shared lunch or a freezer stocked for later.
