The Gringo

The Gringo is a delightful empanada shop in Delray Beach, owned by Chef Alan Solari Brown and his wife, Kimberly. Chef Alan, originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, brings his culinary expertise from top restaurants and high-end hotels across the U.S. Since opening in March 2022, The Gringo has quickly become a local favorite, renowned for its baked-to-order Argentinian-style empanadas featuring a flaky, buttery crust. Each empanada is crafted by hand and baked in a special Italian oven, ready in under three minutes. With a diverse range of flavors—from classic carne (ground beef) and Cuban to buffalo chicken and truffle mac and cheese, even a dessert option with dulce de leche—there's something to satisfy every craving.
