How many empanadas for a birthday?

Use the calculator above for a precise count. As a rough guide: alongside other food, 2 to 3 per person. As the main meal, 3 to 4 per person. For a party of 20, the Party Box (60) is usually the right call.

Yes. The Party Box and Chef's Box include a curated mix. You can also order individual packs of each flavour to build your own combination. For larger orders, we'll help you build the right mix.

Baked, fried, or frozen?

Most party orders go out baked fresh, delivered ready to serve. For the traditional Argentinian finish, we fry in beef tallow on request. Frozen works if you want to heat on site.

Do I need to thaw them before cooking?

No. Cook straight from frozen at 190°C for 18 to 22 minutes. Pre-baked delivery is available if you'd prefer food ready to serve on arrival.

Do you cover dietary needs?

Patagonia is vegan and The Classic is vegetarian. Halal requirements can be discussed through a custom quote. Argentum does not offer gluten-free empanadas. Custom events may discuss gluten-free sides, desserts or externally sourced items, with a wheat cross-contact disclaimer.

Can you add salads to a birthday order?

Yes. We make fresh salads in-house to pair with catering orders. Ask when you book and we'll suggest the right options for your gathering.

How much notice do you need?

Timing depends on the party size, location, service format and dietary requirements. Contact Argentum with your event details and the team will confirm availability.

Where do you deliver?

Across Sydney metro. Eastern Suburbs, CBD, Inner West, North Shore, Northern Beaches. Home addresses, venues, and park pickup locations.
