Reviews about catering and events
Argentum is a regular at corporate lunches, work parties, brand launches, engagement parties, and Argentinian asados. The largest captured order was 400 empanadas for a single work event.
We ordered around 400 empanadas for a work party and they were such a hit. We wanted something that felt a bit elevated but still easy for people to grab and enjoy, and these were perfect. The whole process was really smooth and stress-free. On the night they were gone in no time and so many people commented on how good they were.
I had these delivered for my brand opening and the empanadas absolutely showed up. Everyone loved them and they honestly made the event even more special. Perfect size, full of flavour, and really well made. Guests kept asking where they were from and they disappeared pretty quickly.
Bought 120 for my sister's engagement party. So easy to serve, instructions very clear, people absolutely LOVED them. Really beautiful beef inside that was great quality.
Brought Argentum into the office for a team event. Safe to say, they were gone in minutes. Carnivore and Classic were instant favourites. Colleagues are now ordering frozen boxes for their own homes.
Ordered a corporate box for a team lunch and everyone loved them. The service and flexibility from Pedro is outstanding.
We ordered 5 dozens for a dinner night with friends and they were SO GOOD. The owner can deliver to your doorstep himself in less than 24h in Bondi.
Bought a heap of Pedro's empanadas for a party recently instead of catering. Excellent decision. Affordable, easy and absolutely delicious.
Tried these at a party and had to ask where they were from, they tasted super gourmet. So easy to pull out of the freezer and bake. A great vegan option too.

The best empanadas. I love them so much.
Argentum Empanadas are some of the best empanadas I've had in Sydney. The vegan option (Patagonia) is incredible and potentially my favourite one.

Reviews about Argentinian authenticity
Argentinian customers and travellers who've lived in Argentina consistently confirm the flavours are authentic. This is the "tested by Argentinians" angle.
As an Argentine, I can honestly say they're 100% authentic. The flavours instantly took me back home.
I gifted a box to my Argentinian trainer and he said they tasted just like home. That authenticity says everything.
Amazing empanadas. Reminds me of my years in Argentina. Truly authentic and tasteful.
Proper Argentinian flavors that reminded some of our guests of Buenos Aires straight away. The Carnivore with slow-cooked beef was a huge hit.
A taste of one my homes 🇦🇷 at home 🇦🇺.
Las de carne la rompen toda. Ideal para pedir delivery un finde a la noche y sentirte por un rato en Argentina.
Delivers consistently authentic empanadas with a great balance of texture and flavor. The pastry is flaky without being greasy, and the fillings are well-seasoned and satisfying.
Reviews about individual flavours
Customers' favourite flavours across the five active varieties: Carnivore, The Athlete, The Classic, Patagonia (vegan), and Habibi Yalla.
The Carnivore with slow-cooked beef was a huge hit. The Classic triple cheese basically disappeared in minutes.
The vegan option (Patagonia) is incredible and potentially my favourite one, packed with flavour and not an afterthought like most vegetarian options.
We tried all the flavours and loved every single one, but the star was the Árabe one.
Especially the classic cheese, so tasty and saucy. The chicken ones are so tasty and saucy too. The vegetarian are also super good and very generous in the filling.
My favourite is the cheese one, but the vegetarian is amazing. Everyone in my family loved them.
The Carnivore and The Classic were instant favourites.
Beef is our favourite.
Really beautiful beef inside that was great quality.
Reviews about the pastry and ingredients
Customers consistently flag the dough and the fillings as the standout details. Lighter pastry, fresh fillings, no greasy aftertaste.
The pastry is honestly amazing.
The pastry is flaky without being greasy, and the fillings are well-seasoned and satisfying.
The crust is perfectly golden and flaky crispy on the outside while still soft and tender inside.
Perfect golden crust, super fresh ingredients.
The dough is lighter, the fillings taste premium. I used to grab a pie from the servo or bakery but these have completely replaced that for me.
The filling is fresh and tasty, the pastry is perfect.
Clearly handmade. You can really tell they're not mass-produced but made individually with a lot of care.
I used to grab a pie from the servo or bakery but these have completely replaced that for me. Way more flavour and feel much better quality.
Reviews about cooking from frozen
Argentum is delivered frozen by default. Customers bake or air-fry at home in about 15 to 25 minutes. The feedback is consistent: easy, quick, no fuss.
Easy to cook, 15 mins in the air fryer and it's ready to eat. The filling is super tasty.
Perfect to have in the freezer or for a small gathering.
Consistently delicious. Super easy to cook, quick in the oven.

So easy to pull out of the freezer and bake.
The perfect snack which often turns into a full meal because they're so good.
